Nate Louis! SO this year has been quiet interesting in the Period 5 English. We’ve definitely had some fun and exciting moments and then there were some…… ehhhh not so great moments. We’ve read a couple of pretty astounding short stories and novels and then there were the ones that bored you to death. Though things got rough during the year, especially during research paper time, we always could depend on our teacher, Ms. Santos. It has definitely been a productive year, and I will miss this class when its all said and done.
Henrik Ibsen was an often misunderstood Norwegian playwright. As a young writer, he was very discontent with everything. He found himself unable to identify with any existing forms of drama, so he set out to create his own. During his lifetime, he experienced many times where he was shifting between his dramatic and philosophic and spiritual forms of mindset. But throughout, his plays are characterized by their rebellious spirit and their unforgiving scrutiny of Ibsen's own faults and virtues. Many of his early plays were wild and epic, focusing on mystical, romantic, and poetic forms of rebellion. I believe the title may relate to the story because it symbolizes the tendency of the characters to play certain roles, just as a doll. I believe it can also relate to the author because the author always tried to mold his way into writing a specific type of literature, where as all along he needed to create his own style and be himself! I’m looking forward to reading what this book has in store! ( chuckles )! www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2542
This book seems to have a lot in store for us. I believe that the novel A Doll's House will be the best novel we have read in Miss Santos's English class.
