Tennyson, Browning, and more!

Good evening! I've had quite the busy week so far. I got my first ten pages of my screenplay completed, and finished a short story I'd been working on here and there since the start of the summer. In my online class, we're looking at poets such as Tennyson, Elizabeth Browning and Robert Browning. By this point, I've read by Elizabeth Browning's "Say over again" and "The Woman's Cause is Man's" by Alfred Tennyson. Browning's sonnet includes a plea for true, requited love, and I felt it it's a well constructed and powerful poem that wasn't too cryptic or difficult to interpret, which is a plus for me. "The Woman's Cause Is Man's" was also a strong statement to read, albeit a more politically charged one, though this isn't a bad thing. It brings up some very good points about how better the world would be if men and women were allowed to work hand in hand. So there's some examples of my literary explorations this week. The weekend's coming!
