Anyone read Waiting for Godot? My presentation is Godot is a college decision letter

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Like the main characters who are waiting for a character they've never seen before, we are all waiting for a letter we've never seen before.</p>

<p>First, the boy has a message from Mr. Godot saying he will come surely tomorrow. That can be compared to how many colleges email its applicants saying that the college decision letter is coming out soon.</p>

<p>Second, the boy does not get beaten but his brother does. The boy takes care of goats while his brother takes care of sheep. When asked, the boy says he doesn't know why he doesn't get beaten. Well, being beaten is the same as being rejected from a college. The boy takes are of goats, which are much less docile and manageable than sheep. Thus, because the boy's extra-curricular activity is much more impressive, the boy gets accepted to college while his brother gets rejected. Also, since the boy doesn't know why he got accepted, we can see that Godot has the same amount of randomness as college decisions sometimes do. </p>

<p>Finally, the boy says the next day that Godot won't come this evening but will come next evening. That's exactly what happens every year when thousands of applicants try to log on to see their online decisions simultaneously. The server crashes and the applicants end up waiting way longer than they thought they would be waiting.</p>

<p>Supposed to be a quick 4 min presentation, lol.</p>

<p>Currently reading. Presentation sounds like it could be pretty funny.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm reading Godot right now.</p>

<p>Godot must be the most boring play ever written. Read it recently, unfortunatly... :(</p>

5

<p>I'm reading it now too!</p>

<p>It's not boring if you read past the basic plot, which is kind of dull, and think about some of the more complex themes.</p>

<p>Original poster: Someone actually wrote an article about waiting for college letters and "Waiting for Godot" last year.</p>

<p>I'm not reading it now, but I'll read it in two years.</p>

Sure, the themes are interesting. But those themes are packaged in an incredibly boring way, which means its easy to miss them because it is so likely that one is struggling to stay awake...</p>

<p>If you think it's boring you aren't reading it correctly. It's hilarious and horrifying at the same time, and thematically one of the deeper things written in the 20th century.</p>

<p>Anyway, I don't think your presentation is consistent with the symbolism in the play, but it could still be amusing.</p>

<p>Does anyone play Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney?</p>

<p>I borrowed that book at the library, returned it, and the library still says it hasn't been returned. Yet I SAW it being returned, so I've put a claims on it. Just waiting . . .</p>
