Homework, Nov. 23

Choose one of the following options, and respond in complete sentences:

- React to Portia's "act of courage" in Act II, Sc. 1. Were her actions melodramatic, or were they necessary? Why?

- Explain why you think Shakespeare did not include the conversation in which Brutus confesses his role in the conspiracy with Portia? Should he have included it in the play? Why?

****
If you received less than 70 % (23/34) on your Act I test, you must get your test signed by a parent/guardian (2 pts.), and correct each item marked wrong on a separate sheet of paper. For each question number, explain in a complete sentence why the answer choice is correct. You will receive half credit toward your test grade for each response you accurately correct. Due tomorrow, Nov. 24!
