January 20, 2011

Describe a subplot and explain how it related to the bigger plot in the story. 

There is a subplot that can realte to the bigger plot in my IRB, The Total Tragedy of a Girl named Hamlet, by Erin Dionne.8th grader, Hamlet Kennedy (named after Shakespeare's play), is the misfit of a renaissance-obsessed family. So no wonder, at the dinnertable her sister, Desdemona (a kid genius) talkes about past thoeries of Shakespare and renaissance with her parents. Meanwhile, Hamlet is assigned a project at school on the Globe Theater in history and English. Her Shakespearian parents and insanly smart sister ruin Hamlet's life at school.
