We seem to have covered a lot in the last few weeks. We finished up DIDLS and did some more work with syntax. Although, syntax seemed daunting and intimidating when we first started to learn about it, i know feel confident. The numerous work sheets have beaten the concept into my memory. Also, the class read Edward Albee's 'The American Dream". I really enjoyed being able to play the part of Mrs. Barker in class. I felt like it gave me a deeper understanding of the reading, although i am still thoroughly confused with all of the elements of this play. It seems like there is so much to digest in the play, i just cant take it all in. I feel like i am missing a lot of very important elements, which hopefully i can discover when we annotate it. The play itself is very odd, and it made me wonder what kind of abnormal person would think of that. But then i watched the brief interview with him and he seemed quite normal. Also the purpose of the play seemed quite normal as well for an abstract play. It is almost like a reality check, compare yourself to these people and make sure you're not living this way. I'm interested to learn more about it. Also, i need more work/practice with where to start on the broader prompts. I'm having trouble with that.
