Angels in America Act Two Free Write

Using your copy of the play, respond to one of the following questions. Begin with an MLA heading. Make sure your response contains a clear thesis statement. Use only size 12 font and Times New Roman. Weave evidence into your response. Don't forget a concluding sentence.  Length: approximately 150 well-written words. Check for language conventions: spelling, capitalization and punctuation. My email is nwhite5@u.rochester.edu .

1. Is Joe a good person? Why or why not?
2. How does Scene One foreshadow Louis’ actions?
3. Choose EITHER Louis and Prior OR Harper and Joe. What are two moments of apocalypse they experience in Act Two? A complete answer will address these moments as they relate to both senses of "apocalypse" ("revealing" and "destroying"), as discussed in class.
4. What does Scene Nine demonstrate about the function of split scenes in the play?

If you are in class and do not receive extended time, it is due at the end of the class. If you are not in class or if you receive extended time, it is due Monday.

For Monday, please read Act Three, Scenes One and Two. Scene Two is the longest scene of the play, so please plan accordingly.
