Need help with my question – I’m studying for my class.

• Textbook: Chapter 8
• Play from the Internet, YouTube, DVD, iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, etc.
• 1 primary source (written version of selected play)

Instructions
Plays are meant to be performed, rather than read. The purpose of dramatic arts often extends far beyond the words written on a page; staging, lighting, costumes intonation, expression, and audience experience are all part of the experience of a theatrical production. To develop your understanding of the cultural role of the dramatic arts, you will view a production of a play this week and write a reflection to explain your viewing experience. Choose a play that you would like to view and find a version online, YouTube, DVD or iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, etc. You can also choose to see a play live if you prefer.

Play Suggestions:

• A Midsummer Night’s Dream
• Romeo and Juliet
• As You Like It
• Taming of the Shrew
• The Tempest
• Much Ado About Nothing
• The Comedy of Errors
• Macbeth
• King Lear

If you have another idea, please ask your instructor to approve it.

Then, select and address one of the following options:

Option 1: Write an analysis of the play that you viewed. Include at least one quote from the play in your essay. In your essay, address the following:

• Identify the performance that you have selected.
• Describe the staging, lighting, costumes, and characters of the performance. How do these match or revise the written version of the play? You do not need to read the entire play, but you should skim the text.
• What type of mood and tone does the performance create? How?
• What parts of the play are easier to understand through performance? What are some details that stood out through performance?
• What are your feelings about this performance? What did you take away from viewing it?

Option 2: Find an adaptation or transformation of a play. Choose an adaptation with some significant differences from the original, such as transposed plots and characters into a variety of different settings and historical contexts. Here are some examples:

• A Midsummer Night’s Dream – A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1999) or A Midsummer Night’s DREAM (2018)
• Romeo and Juliet – Romeo + Juliet (1996) or West Side Story (1961) or Romeo Must Die (2000)
• As You Like It – As You Like It (2006)
• Taming of the Shrew – 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) or Kiss Me, Kate (1948)
• Much Ado About Nothing – Much Ado About Nothing (2012)
• The Comedy of Errors – The Bomb-itty of Errors (2012)
• King Lear – A Thousand Acres (1997)
• Othello – O (2001)
• Hamlet – The Lion King (2019 or 1994) or Hamlet (2000)
• Twelfth Night – She’s the Man (2006)

If you have another idea, please ask your instructor to approve it.

Watch the original version and the adapted version. In your essay, address the following:

• How is the adaptation the same as the original? Discuss plot, characters, theme, conflict, language, etc.
• How does the adaptation differ from the original? Discuss setting, time period, characters, plot, language, etc.
• Does the original story translate well in the adaptation? Why or why not? Did the adaptation work in a different setting, time period, etc. Why or why not?
• Why do you think Shakespeare’s plays are adapted so often?

Student Sample: 

“Option 2: Examine a specific artwork influenced by a literary work and how the artist captured the subject or story. 

The painting that I have chosen is La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John Waterhouse in 1893. This piece is inspired by the famous poem by John Keats (Martin, 2018). At first glance the painting looks like a girl is pulling a knight in for a kiss. According to Martin (2018) “It is more than an illustration.” Just by looking at the painting you wouldn’t guess that one of them is doomed for death. “In La Belle Dame Sans Merci, an imitation of a medieval ballad, an alluring, otherworldly damsel has fatally tempted the “knight-at-arms” who is found, at the poem’s beginning, “alone and palely loitering” (Monson, 2011). In the poem the girl appears to have knowledge of medicine or has seen this before, she asks him what is ailing him and proceeds to ask questions regarding the things that she sees wrong with him.  In this era, there was numerous diseases that were uncurable, the main one being Tuberculosis. “I see a lily on thy brow/With anguish moist and feverdew.” The flower, a symbol of death, connects in the next line to another flower, a rose, seen fading on his cheeks, which “fast withereth too” (Monson, 2011). This appears to be symptoms that she has seen before. She knows that death isn’t far from him. According to Monson (2011) “A mysterious poem of seemingly endless interpretations, it uses images of death to straddle the supernatural and make it eerily present.” The girl is portrayed as a fairy who actually ends up saving the knight. “But in this poem the knight survives to tell his story because, ironically, the fairy takes pity on him after showing him in a dream “pale kings, and princes too, Pale warriors, death pale were they all” (Martin, 2018). After researching the poem and looking back at the painting it brings a whole new meaning to me.

1. Should ES cell research prove fruitful, it raises the issue of a particular type of cloning known as therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning would not result in the production of a new human being, but it would mean creating an embryo from which ES cells could be removed that would match the cells of a person’s own body. This would prevent the rejection of transplanted cells by the immune system of the recipient. Would you support the use of therapeutic cloning in order to produce ES cells for treatment of disease or injury? Why or why not?

Furnish a 3-4-page narrative (excluding supplemental pages, such as the cover page, table of contents, references, and appendices – if any) to:

1. Define sand, silt, and clay.
2. Characterize the physical characteristics of sand, silt, and clay.
3. Describe how the behavior of sand, silt, and clay differ in relation to building foundation.

I’m working on a other discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Question:

In at least a 250 word response, what happens if those histories of historically marginalized peoples are the only histories that are told? What happens when we only teach the history of people in the context of their discrimination and oppression. What does that do to a student of history who might come from that same background, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, immigrant status, or class? And while all classes must teach damage (eg: the history of repression,discrimination, white supremacy, colonization, slavery, inequality, etc), how do we make sure this isn’t the only historical narrative that is told and howdo we accomplish that?

Letters and e-mails can be particularly effective in influencing policymakers’ views. Writing to policymakers or your legislators also offers an opportunity to maintain contact and keep your issues on the front burner even when you cannot meet personally.

This assignment requires you to identify one important policy problem in your own communities and suggest one solution to your legislators. You will be asked to write a short letter to describe the issue to a legislator.

Tasks:

1. Getting the Name and Address for Your Legislator

You can find the names and addresses of all the elected officials who represent you by going to this website: https://www.congressweb.com/aam/legislators/#/legislators/ (Links to an external site.)

Under “Find your Elected Officials”, just enter your street address and zip code in the boxes and click the button that says “GO.” It will show you all the elected officials’ information (federal, state, and local) for your address.

Pick one legislator based on the issue you are going to raise. She/he should be the one who is most familiar with the issue and should take action. Do further research on his/her background.

Next:

You can write a letter based on the tools you have learned from Module 3. Whether you are writing a letter or an email, you should keep your message short and to the point. Limit your letter to two pages. The following contents are required:

1. The first paragraph of your message should clearly state the issue or concern about which you are writing. A clear policy problem statement is required.
2. The second and third paragraphs should explain why this issue is important and necessary to you and to your community. You should provide compelling and accurate evidence that convinces the legislator to accept the main issue. Provide some specific examples of how the issue affects you or other people in their districts. As you explain why this issue is important to you and the community, be sure to use simple words and avoid abbreviations and acronyms that may make it difficult for the legislator to understand your message.
3. The fourth paragraph should explain what you want your legislator to do about the issue: the policy alternative. You need to explain why doing so is effective and feasible to address the issue.
4. Close your message by thanking the legislator for their service and asking for a response.
5. Sign your name.
6. Include your address and phone number below your signature.

Format Your Message

Make sure to spell your legislator’s name correctly and use the correct address.

Address letters to representatives like this:
The Honorable John Smith
Florida House of Representatives The Capitol
Tallahassee, FL 32399-1300

Address letters to senators like this:
Senator Jane Doe
The Capitol
Tallahassee, FL 32399-1100

USING A PROPER GREETING

Whether you are writing a letter or an email, your message should begin with a proper greeting. If you are writing to a representative, begin with “Dear Representative” and then their last name followed by a colon. For example:
Dear Representative Smith:

If you are writing to a senator, begin with “Dear Senator” and then their last name followed by a colon. For example:
Dear Senator Doe:

ADDITIONAL TIPS

• You want your message to be polite and look professional.
• Avoid using words in all capital letters as this is like yelling at someone.
• Avoid colored paper or backgrounds, fancy fonts, and colored inks; instead, use plain paper (or white backgrounds in emails) and basic fonts written in black ink.
• Letters should be neatly written or typed. If people can’t read your writing, then your message won’t be read or understood.
• Keep a copy of your email or letter so you can refer to it later when you follow-up with your legislator.
