But, they’re not the topic of my paper…I’ll figure that out. • So, the paper is about…what? A woman’s place in society? • But I have to use quotes, so I am just going to…. Hmm.. See how women are placed, then maybe see how the play reacts to that? So many approaches… Let’s narrow this down • Does it want me to discuss these characters? • Am I writing about the characters or something else? • If I am to talk about the characters, how much and in which way? • “Look…at what happens and their relationships” • Ok, is this what they want? • How can I do that? • Specific quotes….ok, easy! • Am I talking about Creon’s rule or his opinion? Both? How much of each? • Is this asking my opinion….No, it says “does the PLAY agree or disagree”…so I’m talking about the play. • What is anarchy and chaos? Is it in this play…. Maybe I should talk about that…. Maybe, but is it satisfying the prompt? • So, I’m talking about Creon’s theory and the play’s reaction. Right? • Now, I have to get quotes to prove it.
