assignment (plays or storys)

1. How important is theme in what you write? Does a great piece of literature need to express an idea? Explain your thoughts on the matter using examples from things you've read. In your response, address the opposing viewpoint. (Write at least 100 words.)

The importance in my theme is for the reader or the audience to feel what my characters are feeling and to experience there lives and up comings. I think that a great piece of literature should have somewhat of a meaning and idea or it would just be everywhere. My thoughts on if a good piece of writing should have a theme my answer is yes you have to have a theme in order to express what is going on. The characters and the plots I think that what really understands to the audience is if there is a theme. But there is some plays or stories that might not have a theme or need a theme so if you can make a story or a play without a theme than so be it just as long as it catches the readers or audience’s attention.

2. Great works of literature can last a long time. Jane Austen's novels (including Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility) are still popular almost 200 years after they were first published. Anne Bradstreet's poems have survived about 400 years. The works of Greek playwright Euripides (who wrote Medea) have survived for over 2000 years. What do you think causes great literary works to live forever? Could you ever foresee yourself writing something that lasts that long (Write at least 75 words.)

I think the reason why these play last forever is because the way that the stories touches the reader they put them in the moment in how and what is happening. even though some of the stories have some bad events but they show that no matter what happens to you just dust yourself off and try again never give up what you believe in what people say is there opinion and don’t let them effect you and your thoughts.

3. If you could have one long-lasting impact on the world around you, what would you want it to be? Explain why that is important to you and how, as a writer, you could have the chance to make that impact. (Write at least 100 words.)

Well I want to have a huge impact on the society today just knowing that what you’ve said and done can change everything around you and make it better. I will be happy if I just am able to write something and someone reads it and it changes there whole life in a good way that right there will just make me so excited that what I wrote changed somebody’s life. Just thinking about it makes me so happy. but I really want to do something like that play poem book anything a opinion I would love for someone to come up to me a say you’ve changed my life dramatically. Than I could died happy.
