R.I.P. Late Start Days

Hi, all,

Ah, the last of our late start days comes to a close. Must be spring. (I saw a crocus in my yard this morning--more indisputable evidence.)

Here's some stuff for ya:

E3H: We need to talk about the Antigones, and in particular the ways in which the two authors get their messages across. Be ready tomorrow to discuss Sophocles' structures and Anouilh's choral monologues. We'll need Friday to talk about the Anouilh "Great Debate" between Antigone and Creon.

Specific HW: Bring with you...

• Four specific moments from Sophocles illustrate the way he has structured his play around the focal point of plot.
• Four specific revelations or concepts illustrated or explored by the Chorus in Anouilh.

E2H: Heading toward end game in DOAS. For tomorrow, we need to discuss a few very key ideas and focuses. So think about these lines and bring with you a few sentences exploring your reactions to at least five of them. Include who said them and where they come from:

1. A man is not a piece of fruit.
2. Pop, I'm a dime a dozen, and so are you.
3. Never fight fair with a stranger, Boy. You'll never get out of the jungle that way.
4. Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person.
5. They time those things. They time them so when you finally paid for them, they're used up.
6. The only thing you got in this world is what you can sell. And the funny thing is that you're a salesman and you don't even know that.
7. You've just seen a prince walk by. A fine troubled prince. A hardworking, underappreciated prince.
8. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory.
   

Drama: more monologues tomorrow!
