Thought for the day:
Success is measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
—Booker T. Washington

Wednesday: T.L.W.Read Drama: Literature in Action text p. 340. Basic Dramatic Principles. Conflict, Complications, Climax, and Resolution. Every play centers on a crisis, a situation of danger, or difficulty that places at rish something of great value to the charachers; life, love, family pride, anything that is precious to them. The crisis may arise because the characters want to remove a threat to their safety or happiness. Dramatic irony occurs when the people watching a play knows something that the characters onstage do not know- including what awaits them in the future. Sometimes when we watch a play, we feel the shock of recognition when a foolish character onstage reminds us of ourselves or people we know. Text p. 340-341. Before you read The Diary of Anne Frank read A True Story p. 342-343. Notice the time line on p. 344-345 as the play unfolds. 8.1 spi 14, 8.3 spi 5, 8.2 tpi 23, 8.2 tpi 25
