User talk:PatrickDQuinn1/Samuel Beckett

Peer Evaluation: Content: Nicely structured paragraph. It brought in very precise information about the play and its production process, without much of the fluff around it. However, there were a few sentences that needed to be reworded for to be more from your own expressions. A few sentences could be moved around to either more of the beginning of the paragraph (for ex: the production of the play could be moved to the beginning to help give a background of who was alongside Beckett). The quote from the critique can be used as a great closing sentence for the paragraph! Would be good to put this after the fact the play did not do well in some cities to help present that it balances the information (does not leave the paragraph on a sour note) and leaves the reader up to decide to watch a future presentation or not of the play. Tone: The tone is very neutral, which was good. This tone helped avoid trying to just convince the reader to go watch the play. Its neutral tone leaves it up to the reader to have the choice to freely watch the play or not. Sources: There were more sources to help back up your work, which is great! Some sentences need more sources to back up the information being presented (for example, the part where the play got negative reviews in Paris...). Try to find more sources that backup the information from Wikipedia too! Good choice of sources, though.

Hi

Nice work. A ref is needed for the material on Suzanne D-P. Don't call the play a film. A ref needed for the claim that Godot inspired other playwrights, and for the fact that he never sold the manuscript. Overall - a very promising foundation here! EmerOToole (talk) 17:48, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi all,

I'll make some changes! Thank you for the critique. I really appreciate it. PatrickDQuinn1 (talk) 02:24, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Peer Review Answer
Hey @Pumpkinpie21,

Concerning your peer review, here is what I have done so far:

- I have rearranged the paragraph as you requested. - I will be adding more sources

@EmerOToole

- I will look for more sources to corroborate the claims

Hi

This looks good. Go ahead and move the first additions to the page on Beckett and the second additions to the page on Godot, at a suitable place under "production history."

Rephrase the following line first: "To Beckett, the play tries to not be able to be defined[12]." (consider, "resists definition" or "resists interpretation" or something similar).

Please tag me when you have done this so that I can give you your grade.

All the best,

Emer

Hi

Please move the relevant sections to the relevant wiki pages, or you will be graded on these drafts as opposed to on a finished assignment, which will result in a significantly lower grade.EmerOToole (talk) 22:30, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi

I added the first part to the wikipedia page of Samuel Becket and the American reception part to the wiki page of Waiting For Godot. Again, thank you for letting me know.
