Review of Michael Frayn Hi,

Below are the instructions to the assignment.

Write a review of Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen.

-5-6 typewritten pages (notes and bibliography excluded), 12 pt. font, double spaced, letter size with standard margins, no blank spaces within the text

-the review will contain your description, analysis, and critical assessment of the play

Guidelines

-Description

ocharacters, setting, plot, overall organization of the play

ogenre, structure, and style

§is it a documentary work, a didactical work, a work of fantasy, a play of ideas, a mixture of various genres, or a one-of-a-kind work? Does it follow a linear narrative, or does it have a more complex structure? Does it contain elements of drama, humour, mystery, poetry? Through which theatrical devices are these elements conveyed (on-stage action, dialogue, scenic, visuals, or other effects)?

-Analysis

ohow are the play’s events, characters, and themes related to the historical events, characters, and themes that we are studying in the course?

ois the play constructed around a central theme or thesis? If you detect multiple themes, how well are they balanced and integrated with one another?

oare the structure and style of the play suited to convey the author’s ideas?

-Assessment

owhat are, in your perception, the author’s purposes, and how well does he succeed in achieving them?

owhat is your personal response to the play?

oon the basis of the other course readings and class discussions, what is your point of view on the play?

Although the guidelines above are given in outline form, do not divide your review into bullet points or separate sections, but write it as a single coherent essay.

Of course, you may use direct quotations from the book under review in order to illustrate and support your points. However, limit the quotations to less than 10% of the review, and use them only when you have a good reason to refer directly to the author’s words. Every quotation must be introduced and explained in your own words, and referenced with the exact page number.

I am also including the course description below so you are aware of the themes of the course:

This course explores the major developments in twentieth-century physics. We examine the development of special and general relativity, microphysics, quantum physics, and nuclear physics; the growth of industrial science; the role of physicists in WWII; big science and the military-industrial complex in the Cold War and beyond; scientific cosmology; and climate science in the Anthropocene. The focus is on the practices of research in their institutional, social, and cultural contexts.

The purpose is to build an understanding of the entanglements of physicists’ work with the events and transformations of the twentieth century, from the material dimensions of their involvement in industrial and military technologies to the conceptual restructuring of notions of space, time, matter, and light. The course is open to all interested in the roles that physics and physicists had in shaping our present world. No background in physics is required.

Learning outcomes

Upon successfully completing this course, you will be able to:

compose a historical map of physics in the twentieth century, connecting major developments and historical actors to the social, cultural, and political contexts in which they took place
discuss the historical, philosophical, and technological significance of those developments, highlighting the relevant interactions between scientific research, intellectual transformations, military innovations, and industrial production
evaluate the consequences of the transformations of physics for the present world
sharpen and practice transferable skills, such as to critically assess sources of information, to identify the main points of a speech or text, to communicate information and ideas with clarity, to use appropriate terminology precisely and independently, and to draw connections between related issues

Also attached is a picture of the course schedule with topics we are covering. This is for you to have a better understanding of the theme.

NOTE!NOTE!NOTE!

Kindly follow all the instructions carefully

please make sure you provide a high quality work

ensure the paper is free form plagiarism and grammar typos

I also need a well formated paper

Thank you 1
