Ok, so we have a thread for the short story people, so what about the crit responses! What's your critical response about?

I'm doing a critical essay on Ancient Greek Tragedy.

what are you doing?

 

[t_bolt7]

sounds good! how're you coming along with that?

well, im writing a critique on superheroes within films with all these other focus areas on the side

are you finding it difficult writing a critique in general? i dunno about you but becuase i've never had to write one before, i have to rely heavily on past critiques

I'm writing a crit on the depiction of adolescent sexuality in buffy, never before did I imagine I could possibly get tired of talking sex or buffy

that sounds great! Um...to tell u the truth, I'm not having troubles writing a critique, because I'm taking it as an essay, but also dividing it up into chapters. I feel that even though it must be sophisticated, you can use a very free form to write your crit response. I love the form!

You're tired of both?? Gosh, what is ee2 doing to us all?

 

[glycerine]

haha, damn the man ;-p I will be happy not to watch buffy for a whole year after this

lol I'm assuming ur a Buffy freak, and coming from a Buffy freak that is weird!!!

But yes, if I hear the word 'tragedy' once more, I think I'll scream.

Gender roles and popular cinema! horrah!

 

[cheeky_panda]

my critical response is about reality.

It's about time we critical people get our own thread!

 

[grk_styl]

That's exactly what I thought cheeky_panda, that's why I made one!

Hey question, did you guys make up a question for yourselves before writing ur crit response?

 

[aud]

Debate whether the women of Charmed give an anti or pro feminist portrayal...

 

[Will_Sparky]

aud: that sounds REALLY good! how are u going with that?

 

[glycerine]

Thanks, I have no idea how I ended up at this point but I'm actually writing and it's working, so I'm not complaining

It's at about 1500 words, which isn't much, but I get more ideas in each dream I have, so it's getting there

 

[grk_styl]

lol

I got my idea in the shower. I had to turn it off and scream it out to mum before I returned to my shower, otherwise I knew I'd forget it!

Mine just came out of a book i read for 3u in year 11. It was the first one that jumped into my head. Then i decided to explore options that "wernt waiting for me" (decided, was forced to by my teach, watev) and i went through this whole thing with varient readings of Harry Potter, James Bond, and got to where i am now!

 

[Jezzabelle]

hey

I'm discussing crime fiction as the genre that is a catalyst for the modern social novel.

 

[Perhaps]

Gah. All your major works sound a lot better than mine.

I'm doing a critique of Fight Club and American Beauty in terms of their portrayal of the Mythopoetic Men's Movement.

I guess it's based mainly on the writings of Robert Bly and Warren Farrell.

 

[glycerine]

haha, sounds a lot more academic than mine.

"buffy hot. james marsters hot. sex... goood. the end"
