Reading & Responding Part III - Invictus by William Earnest Henley, 1895

My poem from William Earnest Henley is so rich in it's content.  A moving and gripping narrative of Victorian values of hardship followed by hope and accomplishment.  I need to chose ideas that reflect what is going on outside of the text itself, the emotion, the drive and the sense of suffering too.

I'm keen to start trying now to come up with the ideas for the final piece, as we are already into week two of a six week cycle, so we only have 4 weeks left.  I would have hoped that I can start my final piece by next Monday (17th March), however, Christian suggested at yesterday's tutorial that there is no set production plan.  I am free of course to change my mind... I appreciate that it is fine for me to reconsider things, but equally, I just think that it is perhaps best practice (especially for my own practice and way of working), for me to set milestones in a project, with critical dates and go/no-go style decision gates, as has been my project management process now for many years.

So, the plan is, to have a good sense of what I am going to achieve by the end of this week (and weekend)!...
