What Are You Doing RIGHT NOW? Part 6: "!"

[AzureAngel17]

I'm not watching. I'm playing 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures 2! I suck.

Do they actually play football at the Superbowl?

Edit: Nevermind. It just took them 35 minutes.

lol

I'm not watching the SuperBowl either. Instead, I'm attempting to do this assignment, WHICH IS SEEMING MORE AND MORE IMPOSSIBLE.

I was assigned two plays. I have 5 pages [double-spaced] to:
-write a detailed outline for each plot
-discuss how the plots differ from each other
-discuss how they're the same or connected
-examine the climax scene in the two plays
-identify the major dramatic action
-describe the incidents and events that lead to the climax
-describe how the major event changes the character and situation
-identify the protagonist and antagonist of each play
-describe the character development of one character from each play
-use quotes to describe the character

plus have an intro paragraph and a concluding paragraph

HOW DO I FIT THAT IN 5 PAGES???

After those last two commercials, I am never buying Doritos again.

And I don't drink Pepsi Max anyway so no harm done there.

Write it without the 5 page constraint. Just let it end up being whatever it is. Take a break, then go back and edit. Edit. Edit again. Keep chopping until the 5 page mark.

Edit: You don’t make a statue by using the minimum amount of clay, you use a ton of it and chisel it down.

Yeah, that's what I'm attempting to do. It's just, at this rate, I'm already at 6 pages and I've only done one play >_<

Think of condensing ideas, if you can. And for god’s sake, stay away from words like "confabulation". They’re too big.

I just can't figure out how detailed my prof wants this "plot outline" to be. I feel like if I make it more vague, it'll turn into a summary of the story, and she's very adamant about the difference between "plot" and "story".

[princessjessa13]

lol luckily this assignment isn't due til Wednesday, so I can ask my prof about it tomorrow. I do want to get as much done tonight as possible though.

[Lawdog1521]

You can do it!

(I originally wrote a detailed and articulate response consisting of concise tips to help you achieve your goal… but I condensed it!)

Also, when you turn it in, compliment her hair!
