"Summa-phrase" assignment:

Lines 1-55 of Book 3.  (NOT the part in italics!)
  • As with a paraphrase, you need to keep the same point of view (the "I"-- DON'T say "Milton" or "the speaker")
  • But 55 lines are too much to paraphrase idea for idea; you should summarize the content.  Don't be too skimpy; account for the twists and turns of thought.  However, you are not responsible for restating every idea and image.  About a half-page of accurate, concise text should be about right; if you tend to the wordy side, it will probably take you more space.  (P.S.  Do not count headings, etc., as any part of a "half-page"!) 
This really shouldn't take more than a half-hour.  Make sure you've read all the rest of the PL material, and are on-track with Hamlet.
