Yeah, stuff I don't really know. You could write about Illusion Vs. Reality for your letter--it IS getting on to Samhain.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Do you have to do any more of this kind of writing? If so, go out and buy a copy of either "Cliff's Notes" or "Sprinks Notes" for WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF. These Notes have exactly what instructors ask for. Yes, it's too late for that paper, but if you want to learn how to do that sort of thing, you can see it in print on a play that you have read. Or, just go to the bookstore and skim the Notes in the aisle or at their coffee shop.

Or, for the next analysis you have to write, you can skim the Notes before reading the book and then you know what to be looking out for. You don't want to plagurize the Notes, but absorb the ideas and write yourself.
