Opinion (10 points)
The two men saw training Eliza as a bet and nothing more. For her it was a life changing experience but she was left feeling empty at the end by the men's indifference. What is your opinion on the morality of the bet and how the two went about it? Explain your views in at least 100 words.

Extra Credit
Each option is worth 30 points - please pick one only!
A. Research
Despite seeing this film and stage show several time and knowing that it's based on a book I've never made any effort to learn anything about Pygmalion. Do some research into the book and tell me about it. Is the story close to the musical version? Make sure you write at least 300 words.

B. Art
During the Ascot scene everyone is dressed in black and white and the ladies wear very flamboyant hats as can be seen in this clip. Design either a full outfit or an extravagant hat for a lady to wear during that scene. It must fit with the colour code and must be your own work - no doll makers please.

C. Musical
Make a video or sound recording of you singing or playing one of the songs from My Fair Lady. Upload your video to a file sharing website (photobucket) or youtube and include the link in your video/recording. I am looking for effort and interpretation here rather than musical talent (although being able to hold a tune does help!). You can choose any song, you are not restricted by gender. For more information about videos please visit the forum.

D. Puzzle
As I mentioned in the Art option for this extra credit, during the Ascot scene everyone dresses in black and white. What better reason could there be for playing a game of Othello. Win the game and send me a screenshot to prove it and earn yourself 30 points!
