With Aristotles requirements and vocabulary in mind, reflect upon the relationship between Shakespeares Othello and Nelsons O. Did the adaptation of the Renaissance tragedy to a modern high school setting work for you? Were there elements of the film that you felt transposed Shakespeare more successfully than others? If so, describe what worked and what didnt, and also explain why you think the way you do.  In other words, reflect upon these questions: 1) Does O enact enough of Othellos plot to preserve its tragic soul, or do you feel that something is missing? 2) Did its characters and their motives fly high enough (like a Hawk) to produce in you feelings of catharsis? 3) Also make sure that you refer to specific moments in the play and in the film.

Im asking you here to exercise your own aesthetic judgment.  You are not writing to please me or anyone else. But you are doing your writing in light of a theory of tragedy that has been influential in world culture for nearly two and a half millennia, and therefore should not to be too easily dismissed.

Instructions
Reflection Paper 1

Instructions: A reflection paper should be one that takes the topics you have learned about and explores how the information has impacted you. It also discusses actions you will or will not take based upon this learning. In other words, how will what we have learned so far in our readings from Chapters 1and 2 inform your daily practice? For this paper, I would like you to reflect upon the following:

From Chapter 1: the impacts of cohort, socioeconomic status, gender, and culture and ethnicity as well as the principles of nature and nurture. Reflect upon what each actually means to you and how you have been impacted by or experienced them. You can refer to the textbook as your guide, but you will mostly use your own words. Do use page numbers if you use concepts from our book. Be sure to write about what you knew before studying this chapter and what you know now and how that will inform your daily living.

From Chapter 2: Please reflect upon prenatal development. What did you know about this before you spent time in this chapter? Reflect upon pregnancy and what you knew and what you learned and how this will respond to having this knowledge. Clearly state the ideas and concepts that impacted you most, what your thinking or knowledge was before, and what your position is now based upon this new learning.

Answer the question: Is the world going to be a better place because of what you have learned in these two chapters and if so how will it be better? If not, why not?

Please use a Calibri or New Times Roman font size 12 and create a paragraph for each topic. Please see the associated rubric to know how you will be graded on this assignment.
