Instructions
The journals are designed to be fairly informal, and the topics are entirely up to you; however, I have found that journals are much more successful when students focus on one concrete issue or idea rather than ramble from one sparsely developed observation to the next. 
I recommend focusing your journal using one of the topics listed below if you are struggling to come up with a focus on your own. 
The goal here is to engage critically with the readings—develop your interpretation, what you think and WHY you think it.
In other words, ANALYZE the reading – do not summarize. 
Your journal should reveal that you have taken the time to read and reflect on the material.
Suggested ways to focus your journal:
Argument the author is making
Types of evidence
Organization of ideas
Effectiveness of the argument
Interesting or unusual language
Role/significance of imagery
Tone, setting, emotion
Significance of the social issue addressed
Conflicts in the essay
Conclusions drawn by the author
Choose your own topic
Though this is informal writing, it should not be sloppy in either the thinking or presentation.
Requirements
Use the primary text and your own analysis. 
*NO SOURCES FROM OUTSIDE OF THE COURSE MAY BE USED* If outside sources are used, a 0 will be assigned for the journal. If outside sources are used in the form of plagiarism, you’ll earn an F for the course
Quotes from the assigned readings/videos/materials to illustrate and support your analysis
MLA in-text citations for all quoted and paraphrased material (see MLA Style in the Writing Help module for help)
A Works Cited page is not needed/required
Proofread your work carefully

I have linked the questions as a document, just answer them. https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/hamlet/read/

I need a book review rewritten to adhere to the journal’s publication guidelines. The review focuses on the “Companion to Literature and Trauma,” published in 2020, with specific emphasis on the chapter devoted to theatre and drama.
“The rejection is primarily because the text reads more like partial notes on the book’s summary and the specific theatre chapter rather than a coherent review. The structure lacks critical analysis and an in-depth assessment of the book. What is missing is a deeper reflection on how the themes are treated, what the contribution is, what the strengths and weaknesses of the book are, etc. Additionally, the text does not guide the reader effectively, making it difficult to navigate both the book under review and the review itself.”

I’ve included all the necessary details; in the Png file (Films), you can select one of the movie options.  

Compare and contrast Old Comedy and New Comedy. Describe characteristics of each. Give examples.
PLEASE: **Use 2-4 in-text citations from the following book:**
**Use 4-5 sentences per paragraph**

You watched the National Theatre of London’s production of Frankenstein by Nick Dear and adapted from the novel by Mary Shelley.
Write an essay that reflects your experience watching the production, using what you learned about producing theatre in this course. Remember that everything in the show results from a choice made by the creative team. Therefore, as you discuss the production, always ask yourself why was this choice made. 
INTRODUCTION. Write a brief introduction that describes your overall impression of the production. Did you find it engaging or entertaining? Explain why or why not and provide examples to support your ideas. 
ACTING. Whose performance did you find most engaging? Why did you think this actor’s performance was particularly enjoyable or memorable? Were actors able to use their voice and body/movement effectively to create believable characters? Provide examples. 
DESIGN ELEMENTS. Analyze and assess the design elements (set, lighting, costumes, makeup, and sound). What element(s) did you enjoy most? Why? Were the design elements used effectively to tell the story? Were they realistic or stylized? Here are some questions to consider answering as you write this section: 
Is the scenery helpful to the play? To the performers?
Is it a hindrance? Too distracting? Too overbearing?
Does it contribute to the mood? Is it appropriate for the style of the production?
Is there a symbolic element in the scenery? In the shapes or colors?
Is the scenic design aesthetically pleasing in itself?
Is the lighting design realistic or nonrealistic?
Does the lighting design help create mood?
How does the lighting use color and direction (where does it come from: below, above, behind, etc.)
Are light changes made slowly or quickly? Is this right for the play?
Are the costumes right for the play? In period and style? For the theme of the play?
Are the costumes right for individual characters, in personality, station in life, occupation, etc.?
DIRECTING. Although it’s challenging to discuss the directorial approach, assess whether or not the production had a cohesive feel to it (both aesthetically and structurally). 
CONCLUSION. Write a conclusion that summarizes your impressions of this production. Would you recommend it to a friend? 

How does live theatre differ from films? Please explain your answer as it regards to the audience’s perspective and the perspective of the actors performing?
Talk about the difference in the Theatre Experience. What are the Aspects of the different types of theatre such as Broadway, off-Broadway, off-off- Broadway, and others? What are their differences?
List 4 different types of theatre spaces and how they differ from one another? As well as the architectural differences, talk about how the space affects the audience/performer relationship.
