Annotated Essay Sample

This annotated essay, Cracking a Granite Smile (PDF) is a response to a play we read and watched for Katie Gough’s class on playwriting and dramatic forms. The prompt came in two parts: the first half was a response to how the script answers certain questions about the world of the play, and the second half was a response to the performance.

Note: To prevent plagiarism, significant portions of this essay have been removed, and quotations from the script have been replaced with “XX.”
