Animal Likeness

In Animal Farm, the animal that I think I am most like is Boxer, the horse. I think this because I am a very hard worker. Another reason is because if I were to do something bad to someone, I would feel really bad just like Boxer did when he kicked a human in the head while wearing iron shoes. I am also very different from him because I am more independent than Boxer and I am usually not as oblivious as him (but I can be).

Part Three:

I think the two criteria that will be the easiest for me will be physical presence and voice and articulation. I think the two criteria that will be more difficult for me will be dramatic appropriateness and level of difficulty.


Part Four:

I watched Stanley Andrew Jackson recite Writ on the Steps of Puerto Rican Harlem by Gregory Corso and William Farley recite Danse Russe by William Carlos Williams. These are successful performances because they both had good eye contact and body language.


Part Five:

In the competiton, I do not think that I will do very well because I am not very good at reciting things.
