Chem Eng major, won a uni Shakespeare competition by taking the plot to the crucible and rewriting it using Shakespeare's own lines. I think i used lines from Henry IV and Julius Ceasar the most.

Won it last year, received a $100 gift card to the Union Bookshop. I'm rewriting the Illiad as a family drama, similar to Johnathan Franzen's The Corrections.

That's neat, good job being creative.

I recently read The Crucible for the first time, what the fuck is wrong with Americans?

puritans are just the weird social outcasts of Britain and Ireland. they did not create America. And communism is European. Fuck you.
