Last Bonus this marking period: 150 quiz points DUE WEDNESDAY or never.....
The following words were said by the French film director Louis Malle. In a minimum of a 200 words, respond to them in terms of The Crucible and life.

"Psychoanalytical interpretation is too simplistic and attempts to decompose and make a dictionary of things which are opaque. The unconscious resists analysis by definition."

Remember: papers due next Monday

In class: excerpts from the film.
This will not superceed your having read the play. In fact, there are some differences!

In terms of your paper: You need an MLA heading; you must use pagination and a header for subsequent pages; you must conclude with a word count.

The paper should begin as follows: name of your client; description of your client, including age and any specific information from the text. This may be inferential in some cases. In your subsequent paragraphs, begin making the connection between your clients actions and words with your diagnosis. Of course, you need specifics as to your diagnosis as well. Remember that you make a statement, prove it with textual evidence (remember to put the words or actions within the context of the play, as in what is happening in terms of plot and character interaction), and finally you need an analysis statement. This takes you back to your diagnosis.

You conclusion should be a summation of the factors that provoked the behaviors and realistic recommendations as to how to proceed in helping the client.
