Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Johannes was asked to hand in a one-page, single-spaced response to Tom Stoppard's play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Apparently, he could think of only one way to craft a response that long. This was to make the heading fully half the length of the page, including the classroom number and building, full mailing address of the school, and copyright/publishing information for the play in question.

The paper (and I use that word loosely) is also rather amusing for calling the play boring more than once - but, the student assures us, in an inquisitive, rather than an accusative, tone.


The back side of the page appears to be a gigantic reminder to himself to fill out his college forms:


This student also once handed me a piece of paper which he claims to have written when asked to hand in something in the Swedish language. Naturally, it bears absolutely no resemblance to Swedish or any other language I am familiar with.

  1. LOL. Who would have thought Johannes? I think that one is my favorite.
