Describe the Sample. What I did, who I worked with:

  I read Measure for Measure, taking note of lines that described characters, and that were pure word play. I also read a few articles of criticism and developed my own. This is my summary and brief criticism of the play with the notes on character development and word play.    

Why I am including this as a sample:

What I learned about myself as a result of the experience related to the sample:

I learned more about Shakespeare's language, I understand the word play, it isn't just pretty wording it means something.  The plot makes more sense and I was able to understand the play better; the overall picture, the individual struggles, misunderstandings, and interweaving plot lines.

What abilities or interests this sample reveals about me:

It reveals my better understanding of the play and what I found to be important.
