“And they danced real slow in Jackson” by Jim Leonard
I went to go see the theater production of “And they danced real slow in Jackson” at San Jac South performed by Lone Star community college students. San Jac hosted a theater festival event where different colleges came to put on plays and I happen to see the above play. So I’m going to get down and start writing the review and finish up the drama compare and contrast paper that is due tomorrow morning. Good luck everyone with your papers.

Seeing a theatre production
I can’t wait to see a play at a theatre! I think it’s exciting but that’s just me. I’m currently taking theatre as a class and we are required to see two plays and write a critique on them. And now since we can do this for extra credit in English class, it makes it more enjoyable for me. I don’t know which one to see yet but the college is hosting a theatre festival this week where there is colleges from around Texas who are coming to perform their acts on stage and it’s cheap to get into if you are a student. Everyone should definitely go see a play

Othello
Reading the play was difficult but the footnotes at the bottom of the page were very helpful along with the extra help that was posted on Textplorations for us. And the movie was extremely helpful in understanding the play! Iago really made me mad though, how could someone be so decitful like that? To me that is just plain evil and he needs to get what he deserves. I also thought that Othello sound of taken the time to listen to Desdemona and he should have not believed everything that came out of Iago’s mouth. It was a good play, I enjoy reading Shakespeare even if it’s a hard to understand.

Drama Exam
We took the drama exam on Monday and I think I did well. The essay part of it was fairly essay to me because it had to do with “The Glass Menagerie” and the theme and symbol of that play is something that really interests me. Especially on how the playwright used the title to symbolize the characters in her play. The terms were a little tricky but not too bad. I think overall I did really well on the drama exam.

Biggest challenges
My biggest challenges on the poetry essay was just trying to identify how the theme related to a certain element. The poem I was writing the essay on was “Theme for English B” and I found it to be extremely difficult to relate the theme to what I chose as the poetic devices in the poem. I chose form as the poetic device for the essay and it was hard to compare it to the the theme. to I also did the page in a rush and I feel that I could of done a whole lot better than the grade I received. I was really disappointed but I think the paper was a really hard assignment.
