Response to Course Material 6

The multiple choice practice was pretty difficult. I took a long time to go through them and got most of them right. The only thing I'm worried about is the time limit in having to read a mixture three poems or essays, then answer questions on them. A lot of the time the poems are a older work, so it's hard for me to understand and take in all the meaning, unless I take a long time. This also worries me about the closed prompt. Interpreting poems is pretty hard for me, especially when they are not somewhat modern. This is definitely something that I will have to work on.

We have finally moved on from Hamlet, which gladdens me greatly, onto Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. I don't really get why Stoppard would choose to make a play about two very insignificant characters of Hamlet. I am happy that this is modern English and will hopefully be a lot easier to read. Hamlet seems to be pretty important, since we spent so much time with and we are reading another play that has characters from it. Hopefully all this time we spent on it will be helpful for the AP test.
