Responding to Kurt Vonnegut's lecture on the shapes of stories and Hamlet

With the Q2-style rhetorical analysis prompt in mind read and annotate the excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's lecture.

Discuss the lecture in class.

In a Google Doc entitled "Vonnegut and Hamlet," write a specific, insightful sentence stating how each strategy that Vonnegut uses contributes to his argument about what makes Hamlet a masterpiece.

In the same Google Doc also respond to this Q3-style prompt, to what extent do you agree with Vonnegut's position on Hamlet? Take a position and convince that you are right by using reasoning and supporting detail (from the lecture and the play)

Due by the end of the day Friday, January 30.
