November 21


AGENDA:

1. Vocab review quiz

2. Poultry Slam - Tom the Turkey



HW: Answer the following questions (or a part of them) in a analysis  - to be turned in Sunday night, November  30 by midnight.

What are some of the things we wait for , perhaps indefinitely? What is our motivation for waiting? Does the waiting ever pay off or have meaning? What does the play say about choice? Do we have choices or only the illusion of choices? Do our actions have meaning? Do you agree with Beckett's ideas on this or not? Does waiting define life or interfere with it? What are we missing by waiting for something else? Is it possible to both wait and live at the same time? In what ways is communication meaningless or ineffective? What do you think the play might be commenting on here? Is true communication possible, or is something always lost when we try to express ourselves? What aspects of life are absurd? What do we accept as normal or rational that an outsider might see as absurd? Can life be absurd yet still have meaning and purpose?
