                 Extra Credit assignment(if correctly done)= 10pts

Option #1:

Write a sonnet in response to either Millay's sonnet "What lips my lips have kissed and where and why" OR Shakespeare's "Let me not to the marriage of true minds". * Your response sonnet MUST follow the same conventions as the sonnet which you are responding to. Therefore, before you begin writing, you MUST determine whether the sonnet you are responding to is an Italian(Petrarchan) or English (Shakespearean) sonnet; what is the sonnet's rime scheme; how many syllables are in each line; how are the ideas presented/what each stanza conveys, etc.

Option#2
Write a dialogue between Nora and Kristine Linde OR a dialogue between Torvald Helmer and Nils Krogstad. The dialogue should pick up where Act III of Ibsen's A Doll's House left off.  First set the scene(5 sentences), and then compose the dialogue in which Nora explains to Kristine Linde, OR Torvald Helmer explains to Nils Krogstad, what has come to pass in the course of the play and why did it happen. *The dialogue must include AT LEAST five (5) parts spoken by Nora(or Torvald), each of which must be a minimum of two (2) sentences, and AT LEAST five (5) parts spoken by Kristine Linde (or Nils Krogstad), also two (2) sentences at the minimum.(*if your dialogue is longer than 450 words, I'll stop reading at the 450ieth word)
