Assignments

For Friday, you're to read "A Good Man is Hard to Find" . . . which you'll find in Backpack Lit.


[UPDATE: To clarify: The entire Equus assignment should be about three pages.]



Eck! Eck! Eck! There's also a writing assignment! (cue sounds of stomping and ululating)

Typed, double-spaced, for Jan. 22:


1. Consider the opening monologue/soliloquy by Dysart; unpack what he says in terms of the themes, ideas, and motifs that will later surface in the play. 


2. What is your view of what the play calls “the normal”? I want to hear a personal response.

PS: HA HA!!

  1. Do we answer both? Should they be essays or just a well thought out page response for both?

  2. Yes, a "well thought out response to both." The entirety should be two to three pages long, which doesn't mean "half of a second page." (Err on the side of three, but avoid repetition.)
