"The Handmaid's Tale" Pgs. 1-100 Response

I do not mind re-reading books. You tend to catch things that you did not in the first read. Hopefully, it is also a book you enjoyed reading the first time as well. It is not that I disliked the book, but rather I found most of the other school instituted books to be more enjoyable. I find this book terribly difficult to read, even though it is not a bad book really. Maybe I just hate the way it goes along and the way it ends.

I am glad that I get to re-read the novel because I forgot certain things like the names of the characters and statuses. I really like all the symbolism that the novel has. I did not see alot of it until the discussions when they were pointed out. There are alot of biblical references in this novel.

Macbeth Acting Response

Acted out Act III Scenes 1 and 3 on Wednesday 3/30/11.

I have always hated acting. I hate public speaking and acting is the worst form of it. I am happy that we were acting out a scene from a play rather than some random insane thing that they make students do in drama and oral communication classes. I am also glad that we were able to read from the book rather than having to memorize all the lines. This would have lead to alot of terrible improvising, which would have probably ended up making everyone laugh anyways. My group mates were very patient too.

The allowences made the experience better, but I plan to avoid acting at all possible in the future.
