Andy Griffith Reflection Assignment

Due May 13 in class

I cannot find the episode "The New Housekeeper" online.

Reflections must be turned in during class. If you are unable to do this, you must make special arrangements with me personally, each time, in order to be able to turn the reflection in at all.

Reflections must be printed on ONE single sheet of paper. No stapled papers will be accepted. Reflections must be no longer that two pages--or two sides of one page. Reflections must be in a standard font, with standard margins. Reflections must be double spaced.

Reflections are worth 5 points each. If you turn in your reflection on time (during class!) and have clearly engaged with the questions, you will receive full points for it. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss any questions you may have about your reflections.

Reflection Questions
Remember you do not have to answer all of these questions. You don't have to write about any of them. You need to write about something closely related to the episode. If you have your own ideas about what to write about, feel free. FILL BOTH SIDES OF THE PAGE!

• Did you ever run away from home?
• Where did you grow up? In the city? In the suburbs? In the country?
• Opie's mother is dead. What experiences did you have with death as you were growing up?
• Opie's dad plays the guitar and sings. What role did music play in your house growing up?
• Opie will grow up with his Aunt living in his house. What role did your extended family play in your life as you were growing up?
