Once


If you are one of the first 10 responses, you need to answer the question only.  If you are #11 or higher, please respond to one earlier respondent's answer.  Once again, please provide citations from the text to support your answer.

You must respond by Friday, November 4th by 11:59pm.

QUESTION 1: Would you consider “The Girl” a muse?  Why or why not?  Your response must include your definition of a muse and his/her relationship to the artist’s work as well as an example that fits your definition.
OR
QUESTION 2: How are performance and creation connected in the film? One definition of a musician is “an artist who plays a musical instrument.”  Both “The Girl” and “The Guy” perform by playing their “instruments” (her voice, his voice and guitar).  Yet, “The Guy” composes the songs.  Does this distinguish him from her as an artist?  Why or why not?
