Genius

Submitted for your amusement and appreciation of my agony, here is a diplomatically edited paragraph -- verbatim and faithful to the punctuation -- from one of my students' essays. The assignment was to imaginatively direct a scene from Henry V in order to make an argumentative interpretation about the play. Please keep in mind that this is university-level writing, and that we have spent four weeks discussing this play, including two days on the scene in question (1.2).

The room holds the ambassador, played by Napoleon Dynamite, his charter adds humor. I thought it would be good to add humor because the play as written is to serious. The ambassador has no lines in this scene, he just stands there with his infamous blank stair. Exeter has one line, and he is played by a young Huge Grant, I'm my opinion he looks the part. With the use his English accent he tells Henry that the Dauphine has sent him a present "tennis balls my, liege." (1.2.259) This upsets Henry played by Ashton .Kutcher. Ashton is best suited for the role as he too struggles with the image of being a grown up with a child like mind. Henry's right hand men (Exeter and The Ambassador) represent the same inner power struggle that Henry himself is going through. With one man funny and the other pushing to be serious

I especially enjoy the use Huge Grant's English accent, but I'm not sure casting Huge is such a great choice. That guy is to serious.
