You will complete this weeks discussion assignment in two parts. Please include both parts in the same post. Part I: Analyzing Los Vendidos After reading Los Vendidos, answer ONE of the following questions in 5-10 sentences: 1. How does the play use archetypes to disrupt stereotypes 2. What central ideas/messages is the play putting forward? 3. What does the play have to say about assimilation and/or separatism/nationalism? Part II Planning an Acto For Part II, you will do some very preliminary thinking about an acto you might someday write. These can be fairly loose ideas, as you will not actually write the piece (unless you want to do that on your own!). Remember that an acto is a short, satirical skit that deals with a particular real-world, socio-political problem that needs solving at the present time. Answer the following questions about the acto you might write: 1. What current issue will your acto address? 2. What characters/archetypes might you include? 3. How might you structure your acto? 4. What ideas/messages would you like your acto to communicate? 5. What do you want your acto to accomplish?Show more
