Winter Break

There is no blog over winter break. Enjoy your time off, and be good, but if you can't be good be safe.

December 15 The King's Diversion/Rigoletto

Don't forget to write your full name and class period on the first line of your comment.

Bad translation aside,  I think you will agree that the play is pretty good.  Choose a quotation from the play and then write 15 sentences explaining the importance of the quotation to the main action of the play, to character development, or to one of the major themes in the play.  This is the link to a translation of the play:  http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951001049242c;view=1up;seq=45  The play begins on page 35 of the online text.
  Please don't use a quotation that someone else has used.  Be original.  For example there were 48 comments posted on our blog on Oedipus Rex.  The word interesting was used 55 times, confusing 32 times, and strange 21 times.  Please, Please, Please,  BE ORIGINAL.
