Thanks for your comments Recommencer. Maybe i should elaborate:

This was a project bumigned about a week and a half ago. We were given roughly a week to complete it, and a variety of options for projects ranging from writing a modern day interpretation to acting a scene out to doing a collage to, well, making a rap.

My teacher is one of those older (retiring next year) uptight types and very much a play by the rules, lay down the law type deal.

When i first chose my project, i figured i could do one of two things: i could slap together some cheezy unimpressive collage like the rest of the clbum and give boring, vague explanations like “the red water symbolizes blood, because Macbeth killed people. The crown zymbolizes kings because Macbeth is one…” etc. etc.

or, i could shake things up a bit, which is what I did.

I ended up getting a C for the project, despite putting in more than enough effort (imo) to satisfy the requirements at hand. the reason? As several of my clbummates told me, she probably didn’t even know what The Fresh Prince was.

PhineasPoe, i hold nothing against you for finding faults. you and Recommencer both brought up good points, so perhaps i was to forthcoming with this thread.

Thanks for your input =]

EDIT: @Recommencer, I dont fault PhineasPoe for his bluntness at all; i like to think of it as him paying his respect to me by not sugar-coating things.

But lets not have a flame war, please.

tl;dr. Just kidding. No, you’re a good mediator. I apologize for getting harsh. Shakespeare is something I take seriously, as well as inspiring and applauding creativity. It’s a soft spot for me, I got bumhurt. Fair enough.
