John Cleese Assignment

Watch the video of John Cleese (of Monty Python)  speaking about creativity. Answer and explain the following questions completely in a typed paper. Be prepared to discuss them in class.

- What are the five things that Cleese says are required to be creative?

- What does he mean when he talks about  “closed mode" and  "open mode ”?

- What is the difference between the two types of time that he talks about?

- Why do you think he is making all of those lightbulb jokes? What’s his point?


All papers must be typed using 12 point font, double spaced, spell checked, proof read, and have one inch margins. Be sure your name, my name, and the name of the class is at the top. Date the paper for the day it is actually submitted. Use page numbers at the bottom of each page. If your assignment is more than one page, please staple it in the upper left corner so pages don't get lost
