Here's the prompt for the "Picnic" bonus essay. Performances are Saturday night at 8:00 PM and Sunday afternoon at 2:00 PM. I've already been twice, so you won't see me there (with seating limited, I hate to take up a space that someone else could use). Be sure and get your program signed by either Mrs. Tolleson or Miss Aker.
Picnic Bonus Essay
Research the economic future of small town America in the period immediately after World War II. Consider the importance of agriculture, as well as job opportunities for young men and women. Why do so many of the young people in Picnic seek to escape?
Write a well-researched, thoughtful essay of at least 1 page )double-spaced, Times New Roman 12), but no more than 2 pages.
I considered posting the vocabulary and study questions for the first three chapters of Bless Me Ultima, but decided against it because if you weren't there Friday, you don't have the book anyway. I'll pass it out to those who were absent Monday.
