Blog Portfolio Quater 7

This is the penultimate blog portfolio. This quarter, we spent the majority of time on three plays. These plays were The Heidi Chronicles, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Hedda Gabler. All three books were radically different, in both style and tone, but all had similar themes and messages.

Hedda As Modern Woman

This blog entry is my response to an article written about Hedda Gabler. I very much disagreed with the article.


Depth:


I feel that the blog that I spent the most time on, and the one that showcases my abilities as an in-depth literature analyser is the comparison between film and play versions of Streetcar. I found that it led me to analyse different points, in a lot more detail than I would have if I had just watched the play.

Scoop Vs Stanley

This blog launched a discussion between me and Saumya over the negative portrayal of Scoop, and the similarities between him and Stanley.

Xeno-Blogging:

In this post, I commented on Saumya's interpretation of art in Heidi. I disagreed with some of what she was saying, but thought that she made some good points.

Wild Card:

This post is a short story that I've been working on, which is based on a recurring dream that I've been having recently. Its fairly graphic, but its been helping me to deal with it.
