Last Assignment

Hey gang!
You have three options for your last writing assignment.  I will give you eighteen minutes in class on Friday to write it.  Use your QT4 Writing file.

Choose One:

1. Tragedies are driven by a character's fatal flaw.  What one character is most to blame for the tragedy?  Be sure to use evidence and commentary to support your answer.  You can also explain why one character is more at fault than another.

2. There are many differences between the text and the Luhrmann film during Act V.  Explain what theme the film version emphasized, what changes were made, and how they supported the theme.

3. Recast the play.  Choose actors, cartoon characters, political or historical figures, or even teachers at Central to play the major roles (Romeo, Benvolio, Mercutio, Friar Lawrence, Nurse, Tybalt, Juliet, Capulet, Paris, Prince Escalus). Explain why that "actor" would be a good fit for the role, and how they could best show essential character traits.
