“The Black Sheep in flock of Royalty Attempts to Rule: Olivier’s Richard III”
“The Black Sheep in flock of Royalty Attempts to Rule” was interesting to write. I had never read the play, Richard III prior to enrolling in the class.

In English 339, Dr. Clermont-Ferrand had the class look at a total of five different plays and movie adaptations (online) during the summer session. My only request would be to offer this class during the regular semester in the traditional classroom setting. In reference to the goals set in place by the English department, I believe this paper along with the two other that precede it, shows my ability to summarize,

To a knowing viewer, it becomes almost immediately evident that this is the work of none other than Jan van Eyck himself. This piece juxtaposes two biblical scenes commonly depicted by Renaissance artists, but with a Netherlandish attention to detail, as well as other formal elements endemic to van Eyck’s style. These components include an emphasis on highly saturated colors, a strong use of spatial elements, and highly realistic physical renderings of the subjects depicted.…

    To my esteemed English teacher, By writing you this letter, I hope to demonstrate my growth throughout the year and my final mastery of the course’s content. During the revision of the synthesis, I mostly adjusted the shape of the piece; grammar and syntax needed to be fixed in many passages in order to provide a clearer explanation of my ideas.

I wrote the both pieces keeping in mind that my audience would be extremely educated upon English language and composition.…

Through the short time of 5 weeks, I learned how to focus on my audience as well as how to define the purpose of my papers as academically as possible.…
