Who really is Hamlet? Why should we care about him?
What does research add to your own perceptions?
*Go on the databases on either Munising Library's website or on the St. Norbert Databases
*Be prepared to cite the database to add strength to your argument or you may disagree with it. You are also required to refer to information Dr. Richmond used in her presentation (if it occurs).
*Answer the question/s and/or create your own argument to at LEAST one of the following
*What does Shakespeare's question of "Who's there?" or "To be or not to be?" symbolize for how both you and Hamlet view death and the afterlife?
*How has his tragedy changed from the times of Sophocles (religiously/character/etc.)
*Do you feel that Hamlet is mentally ill or just pretending?
*Your own argument
For full credit, you MUST have quotations as support of your points, you MUST show reading and avoid online summary info, you MUST respond to a minimum of 2 posts. Points will be deducted for those students who wait until the last 12-24 hours, for spelling problems, repeating information already stated, confusing responses, attacking classmates verbally, simply agreeing without saying much of anything, or off-topic commentary.
------Having support from databases may be given additional credit if used well----
DATABASES REQUIRED FOR THIS BLOG, but your argument will be judged harshly, so be prepared to defend yourself!
**This blog will end at 9 a.m. on 12/18. Remember that starting on the last 12-24 hours prior will result in loss of points since your discussion will be limited. I prefer you post something by 12/16 with the encroaching Christmas vacation.
