Homework
From the previous week Di read her story on a hometown dump. The homework on 'Independent Thinking' of course produced thought provoking essays. The exploration into the reality of individual thought and if it really ever exists and when it is deemed to exist the conservative masses attempts to shut it down. Reality bites.
Exercise 1
Using words first seen in Shakespeare's works construct a story - cold-hearted, lustrous, savagery, swagger and watchdog.
