The Female, the Children, the Poor, and the Ignored speak.
The society in Great Expectations favors the male and the moneyed. This situation is not exclusive to only Great Expectations as the society in the 19th century is of patriarchal in politics and capitalist in economics. As a result, more than half of the populations were mere puppets in the show directed by these privileged.
On the 25th August 2010, you were given the opportunity to lend a helping hand to these people, whom over the many centuries, have remained silent against the maltreatment.
Whom have you chosen to help and what would they say to their oppressors?
* Reminder: On 1 September 2010 we will hear these Silents speak. Show your support for these people by bringing 1 candle each. Any candle will do: the aromatic ones, colored or a low quality ones as the organizer for this gathering does not discriminate.

EDU 3202: Semester 1, 2010
Monologue: Perform or Perish
Congratulations! you people survived last week. I was a wee bit disappointed though as the crowd was almost non existence, very much in contrast to last year as the human traffic was heavy.
You have performed and now it is time for you to share your meanderings into monologue. Looking back, do you gain anything from this exercise? Or do you think it is one of the medieval tools I've adopted to put you in eternal misery?
