 * You are a struggling actor in Hollywood that did well in school and you are working as a tutor to get by. A famous actor, Harris Pilton, has hired you to put Beowolf in layman's terms for her. She failed to mention to the director that she didn't understand the story, and now she has no idea how to get into character, or how to read the text for her upcoming role. In fact this is what she said to you, "OMG. What a stupid way to write a story. Who is this anonymous anyway? And what's with this poetry stuff--eww. Why can't I just watch the movie...Oh wait, I'm making that." The script writers decided to honor the original style of Beowolf, and Harris needs to know how to create a flow with the rhythm based on the text and to get into character. You know that she enjoys music, videos, and likes to read books to her little sister and must decide how to best make this information accessible to her--she is pretty thick. Help her to understand her role! ||
