Before we began I would like to say hello to the rest of you "little shits" who arrived in the middle of our introductory discussion.
I would like remind everyone to click on the "more" icon under the header to read the class syllabus.
And remember....we are here to analyze drama.....and laugh at the pain of others.....KIDING! kidding kidding
So, the seeds of drama;
lust
gluttony
greed
sloth
wrath
envy
pride
also we discussed "afflictions ( this really intrigues me)
assignment;
take the ever true dramatic by-line boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl and apply a dramatic situation using some of these emotions
example;
Boy meets girl, girl meets boy and meets his girlfriend, girl thinks boy's girl is hot (lust), girl meets boy's girlfriend at chillaxity, girl makesout with boy's girlfriend(greed), girlfriend likes girls kisses and finds herself masturbating in the bathroom at work about what it would be like to see girl again(gluttony), girlfriend tells boy(pride), boy says cool but wants to go to next chillaxity to watch(sloth), they go, meet girl, boy gets jealous cause girl kisses girlfriend better(envy), girl and girlfriend disapear from party for about an hour (lust, gluttony, sloth), boyfriend freaks calls girl a "slut' (wrath). Boy drives home alone (pride), girl and girlfriend wake up in each other arms on a strange floor with messed up hair, missing clothes and a "new" boy named Raoul.

(sloth) so *maybe* I could top but I'd rather bottom (gluttony) and be told what to do. That would be a good thing (warth). I'd love to be able to write something that great and make you all dool (envy) but alas, I can only want to do that (lust). Well, some part of this is making me blush and being all embarrassed about things. I do not think I can do this for I shall fail (pride).
So, how's that for drunk posting? (pride again... I think)

Boy meets girl. Boy and girl are engaged. Boy's "friend" is jealous (lust) and plots with boy's other "friend" who is jealous of boy's job (envy and greed) to have boy locked away by the government for a crime he did not commit. Boy is locked away for years. Girl marries "friend" because she thinks boy is dead in prison. Boy escapes prison after much hardship and many years and has knowledge of treasure from old priest in prison who died. Boy finds treasure and uses it to wreak revenge on those who put him away (wrath). Boy and girl find each other again after all these years, but too much has happened and they can't be together. (pride)
Ok - so I kind of cheated because this is the BASIC plot of my most favorite book ever - the Count of Monte Cristo. But it's one of the coolest books full of good drama I know, so thought it'd be fun to use for the excercise....
