Page 1. Choose ONE option and explain why you consider Imelda’s silence EITHER “as positive, even redemptive and saintly” OR as “suggest{ing} Imelda's unhappiness… and her parents' perverse mythologizing project {which would be part of} the tragic structural trajectory of the novel toward silence.” (Russell 2006) (300/350 words = 30/35 lines; leave a line in between). 50 p.
Page 2. Loach's and Jordan's productions about the 1916-1922 period are steeped in different historical traditions. While Jordan stresses the role of the individual, Loach puts forward his conception of history as a process, where the characters' choices are shaped by their historical context. Illustrate (do not criticize or compare/contrast we have already stated/already know that the productions are different) how MC and Wind exemplify their makers’ respective conceptions about history. (300/350 words = 30/35 lines; leave a line in between). 50 p.

Teaching and Acting

English teachers as frustrated actors download

Writing topics (edit carefully before emailing)
Maybe these lines from W.H. Auden's poem "September 1 1939" can help you with cyclical & transgenerational violence in Fools:
.....................
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.

More Fools of Fortune

Download

I'm rather pressed for time this week (ditto next).
Pls do not email any more writings about "fools of fortune." We already have three samples online.
I'll be gladly receiving those textual interventions that only require minor editing (as I have indicated to their authors).
As for new textual interventions & writings about Imelda´s condition or cyclical / transgenerational violence pls edit the form, content and logical/conceptual organization of your texts really really carefully to see if they truly fulfill the requirements that have been requested or address the issues under discussion. It takes a lot of time + loads of visual and psychomotor effort on my part to correct your electronic drafts on screen. Let's all make sure we make the most of our time, a highly underrated commodity.
Thanks a lot, keep up the good work
