1. How important is theme in what you write? Does a great piece of literature need to express an idea? Explain your thoughts on the matter using examples from things you've read. In your response, address the opposing viewpoint. (Write at least 100 words.)
I believe theme plays an important role in what I, or anybody else wrights. The theme of the story is just as important as any other aspect of the play, becouse without a great theme the audience is liable to loose interest in the play. I do believe that a great piece of literature needs to express an idea. The reason why you need to express an idea is becouse, the reader needs something to cling on to, a sort of curiosity to keep them on the edge of their seat, something to keep them guesing about whats gonna happen next. Like a book i read named "The Catcher In The Rye". Throught the book, the main character is living from place to place, it kinda makes you wonder were he's gonna end up next, and whats gonna happen when he gets their; will he be arrested, or killed, things like that.
2. What might be a theme that you'd consider communicating through your play. It could be a theme about something that concerns you (think back to what you wrote in your first blog), a theme about something you see socially or politically. It could be a theme about anything else. Write about that theme and why it is important to you? (Write at least 100 words).
A theme I would consider communicating through my play, might be more of a romantic/comedy type of genre. I think people like to see how love can provale threw a variety of freak events and embarrasing situations. It gives the audience a chance to laugh and connect certain situations in the play, with actual events in their relationships. Things like child custody, divorces, hook ups, and all sorts of things that happen between couples in the real world; ecxept for its funny and entertaining. Thats the type of theme im gonna try an portray in my play, because if you have had a relationship with a person, then your gonna be able to relate to some type of event in the play, so their for it effects almost everybody.

3. What is one conflict you write about in your play. Generate some ideas for conflicts you could write about. This may or may not be connected to potential themes. (Write at least 75 words)
A type of conflict that I wright about in my play is about a man who belives that the children he and his girlfriend had, are not his. In my play i could generate so many ideas for conflicts because
