Dream of A Ridiculous Man (Extra Credit--Fall 2006)


Award winning actor George Dillon takes on tour a one-man show version of "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man." Suppose Dillon was coming to NSU and you were in charge of publicity. Choose a quote or two from "Dream" that you would use as sound bites in a radio advertisement for the performance. Why would you choose this line/these lines?

Communist Manifest (Extra Credit--F 2006)

In the "Communist Manifesto," Marx and Engels suggest some "wonderful improvements" for society. Cite a line from the Manifesto highlighting one of these improvements, i.e, something Marx and Engels want to see changed. Would the change they suggest be a good one? Why, or why not? Do you get a feeling of deja vu when you read through the Manifesto? Any issues raised similar to those in contemporary American politics?
