Rough Draft of DOC1 was "rough" Peer Review HELPS !

Ok, as Prof. Hamon once said, "you learn to write through many rough drafts till you get it right!"  and he is so right .  Writing to analyze a character from a play is no small affair.  Things to consider is

• Plot
• setting
• protagonist and the human traits
• relationship to real life.
• what was the author's purpose for this character
• physical features or odd mannerisms that we readers remember them by 

There are so many factors involved in analyzing characters and how there symbolize the force that drives the interest in the story.  So, for me, it's important to get it right even if it takes a few more "re-writes".   Peer reviews are important process of writing as well.  We all need to learn from each other and see what others think of our writing too.
Good Luck to everyone in class. cheers! 

DOC1 Writing to Analyze

Hello fellow Scribblers!
Since elementary school, I was taught that "reading is fundamental" .  I still carry that philosophy even today. Reading to analyze is something else altogether . Analyzing is not an exact science.  
It may sound fancy and to some it's intimidating but don't forget that there is no right or wrong interpretation.    Getting in groups helps and 1,000 words seem doable, right?
Literary analysis is objective and subjective all at once.  Whether your a pro or a beginner critic you should always use other sources to assist you in your analysis. In fact, library books online are good and scholarly sites like Jstor, Muse and other databases.   I like to start with the author, gives me insight on his writing style and his way of thinking , prepares you for what your about to read.
Good luck everyone on DOC1.  

Protagonist Defined.

      The word alone came from an historic country like Greece. Protagonist originated from Athens and it is one person who plays the main part; the chief actor which can be a man or women.
     It's the primary figure that will be the central of a play, theatrical , cinematic or musical production.  It is the personage the audience most remembers and identifies with .
     The most noted example that I identify with is Joan of Arc who was a Protagonist in plays and film feature "The Messenger".    In ancient Greece theatre a "Deuteragonist" and a "Tritagonist" played others roles alongside the protagonist as there were always 3 played all tragic dramas.
