Sarah, this was quite entertaining to read! You did a great job with keeping the character's personalities consistent throughout the scene. I find it interesting that you chose Lady Bracknell as your favorite from The Importance of Being Earnest considering the drama you encountered on her part in class!
ReplyDeleteSarah, a very well written entry. I particularly enjoyed your depiction of Lady Bracknell throughout the conversation. She seems to transfer her personality from the countryside of England to the test-taking room in Chagrin Falls with ease. Overall, extremely entertaining.
