HW 4/14

Homework

-review Act 2 and 3 for the test this Wednesday (I suggest making a study guide like we did for Act 1. Know the outline of these acts: who is in each scene, what are the main plot points)

-like countless 9th graders, you have seen a bit more of Romeo in Zeffirelli's film adaptation than you expected. Do you have any thoughts about how the male body is shown in movies? Is there a difference with how the female body is shown? Two movies come to mind (I do not recommend either for your viewing): Borat and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. These films shock(ed)audiences with male nudity. Of course Zeffirelli shows Romeo from behind, but it still leaves little to the imagination.
