Sample 1 Description: Much Ado About Nothing
Resources I Used:
Written/text:
Much Ado About Nothing, by William Shakespeare
The Comedies, Literary Companion Series
A Reader's Guide to Shakespeare, Joseph Rosenblum
Describing the Sample. What I did:
I read Much Ado About Nothing,
taking note of lines that described characters, and that were pure word play. I
also read an article 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.
Obstacles, frustrations, or challenges I faced:
This was a very stress less
thing to do, even though at first I couldn't find any criticism to help me
along.
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, how he develops characters and 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.
