Upon finishing the first day of presentations I'm relieved and yet, I wish I had put more thought into my paper... I enjoyed my idea but wish I had delved deeper into the connection between my Ovidian tales and Shakespeare's works. Jennie, after reading your blog, Flagstaff did cross my mind for SLOTH but he just didn't seem to have enough of something for me to base that paragraph on... I guess you could say he was too boring and lazy... get it? Sloth... boring and lazy?... ahhhh
However, I was very impressed with each presentation and hope that the second round will be just as exciting... who knows? Maybe someone will write a full fledged musical and then all who went on Thursday will be shit outta luck...
Roberto- The Tempest
Kinsey- Venus & Adonis
Nick- Identity broken down through Shakespeare's plays. Discover the role you are playing, and play it well.
Jennifer Cooley- The Tempest. Caliban is Poseidon & Demeter.
Rio- Venus & Adonis echoed with modern societyJamie- Kids intimidated by Shakespeare. The Mechanicals rapped... As you Like It
Anne- purpose for sexual references
Amanda- forbidden love, love labors lost
Fletcher- critique of love. Suffering is caused by love. love is a drug.
Lisette- Antony & Cleopatra compared and contrasted with Romeo and Juliet. Antony is Romeo... Cleopatra is Juliet.
*Love is what most papers were written about*
Again, really intellectual nicely rounded out presentations. Tristan, I do think you should post your rap on your blog because as Jenny said, it was hard to hear and understand your words. I still cannot believe the smarts that are sitting in that classroom evert Tuesday and Thursday with me. Ashley, the depths that your brain delves astounds me...
I will post the second round of presentations after class on Tuesday. Nice job everyone, on your group and individual presentations.
