yes im procrastinating

let me cut n paste the first paragraph of the body of the paper that's due at 5pm today.

The way in which The Spirits Play is presented puts the idea of the existence of one single interpretation into question. Firstly, the title of the play The Spirits Play can be read in more than one way. 'Play' can be read as either a noun or a verb and the choice changes the meaning of the title and subsequently how the play can be read. By reading the title as a performance play based on spirits, i.e. reading the word 'play' as a noun, we can interpret the focus of the text to be on spirits. On the other hand, should the title be read as a game of the spirits, i.e. reading the word 'play' as a verb, the focus will still be on spirits. Thus the point of illustrating this ambiguity in the title is purely for entertainment. I am attempting to be postmodern in my approach to this question by not having a point to my examples.
