When I read the play Accidental Death of an Anarchist for the first time, I took notes on post-its. Although I was looking for scenes that I could use in this notebook, I managed to touch on possible themes that I thought showed up throughout the play.

It was an extremely powerful scene because the connection the actors had, and how they controlled their entire body to convey a message without using
I agreed with the idea of adding in the stealing food part because I don’t think that the play has to be the exact same as the book. Books are hardly ever the same as the movies nowadays.

She was a gentle mother at the

There were a couple vivid descriptions in the play that I noticed. For example, the biggest one I remember of is when Jacob went to tear up Ben’s diploma.

I think I did a great job of spreading out major points in the play, and feel like this essay deserves an A, but at the same time I still think I need to work on filling in my holes better with quotes, while maintaining the crucial flow. When you grade my essay I’d like you to point out to me the holes in my essay, which I can transition with better. It was really difficult for me to do with that 3-page limit. Which leads me into my next statement. I apologize for going slightly over that 3-page mark, but I cut as much as I could.
