Thoughts on my second project+
For the second project I had decided to write a paper about the most interesting character in The Dew Breaker. For this paper the main character I focused on was Papa because to me is the most complex, and interesting character throughout the text. The readers really learn about the backstory of Papa, and the… Read more Thoughts on my second project+

Question about Sakuntala
Throughout three different acts we see the interest that the king has for Sakuntala. Even the feelings that Sakuntala has for the king, but I think the love they have for each other is very, very strange… Why are the King and Sakuntala feelings for each other strange? I find that they “love” each other… Read more Question about Sakuntala

I thank Kristina coming into our zoom, and informing us about voting in New Hampshire. I think it is really important to vote, regardless of your opinions or views.

Adding a scene to Death And The King’s Horseman- Unessay
For my unessay I decided to write about Elesin, and the thoughts he is having before he must transition into the “great beyond.” Throughout this entire play, us, the audience never get to see any characters alone. We never get to learn about the thoughts that the characters are truly having, and ofcourse I focused… Read more Adding a scene to Death And The King’s Horseman- Unessay
My Final Thoughts on The Death and The King’s Horseman
When the play first started, the play seemed like a mystery to me. I didn’t really understand what the play was even about, and soon I learned about how Elesin needed to follow in his leaders footsteps. He needs to commit ritualistic suicide after the death of the king. I feel like knowing that will… Read more My Final Thoughts on The Death and The King’s Horseman
