Comment on 2008 Kemp Symposium by Erinn

I attended the 11 am session which was the session from the class English 447, Restoration drama. I thought it was very interesting because I had never been to the symposium before and didn’t know that each class held a session. I liked that it was done by class that way each presentation was similar in a way and it was easier for me to follow. A couple presentations were about women controlling men in different ways, such as manipulation. There was another presentation on deception and disguise and a third on the differences between comedies and tragedies in regards to their epilogues.
Im not really sure how you could make it better except to make it more well know outside of Combs, then there might be a bigger audience and the presenters would feel better about having to present because they are actually presenting to people.

Remember the tears we shed to get an allowance, new bike, first guitar, first car?
Imagine ourselves raising money for a election.
It’s hard to get the actor to cry on cue.
Shes raising money for her chance at being
the leader of our country.
This is the goal.
Maybe it’s something worth crying about.
(no more than let’s say 4 seconds worth)

I really enjoyed Seth’s presentation. First of all the topic choice was right up my alley, I’m an avid sports fan including the nationals and was watching barry as he hit his record breaking home run. I feel like given the current situation in baseball this presentation was a perfect candidate for analysis. I felt it was incredibly striking that the speech used the subtle alteration of historical to historic, this was very telling. I was glad hank aaron distanced himself from barry throughout the whole chase, declining to attend potential record breaking games and issuing a very brief well sculpted congratulations. The shadow of doubt surrounding the legitimacy of his record is enormous and I will never believe bonds, or mcgwire, or sosa or most prodigious numbers from baseball’s recent past. Secondly Seth was incredibly engaging during the presentation and added some much needed lightheartedness to the marathon.

Caitlin Higgins presentation on the Disney World advertisements was both informative and entertaining. This was a great topic with plenty to discuss, however, just an idea - the presentation may have been better if you chose to focus on one type of advertisement (ex. ad’s geared toward children) instead of comparing amongst different target groups. Everything was well researched and well put together though, just seemed as if there was a lot left unsaid since it was a broad ranged topic with only a little time to discuss.
