During our first segment we studied the use of paradox in Act I scene i. We further contrasted Romeo's romantic longings with the more sensual banter of the two minor characters we met in the play's opening sequence. During most of the session, we discussed and reviewed Aiden's essay comparing two Frost poems. I addressed the proper contents of an introductory paragraph and provided a model or sample as guidance. We then substantively reviewed his thematic analysis, and I explained how interpretations still must be textually based. Again, using the model/sample I demonstrated the proper tone ,language , and analysis that could be used to create an apt textually supported comparison.
