What does it mean to storyboard the plot line, specifically in "Daddy" by Sylvia Plath?

I infer from this and other questions that you have asked
that you are trying to convert this excellent poem concerning Plath's relationship with
her father into some form of drama or skit. Storyboarding the plot of this poem is
therefore going to be an excellent exercise to help you think through how you can
present the ideas and images in this poem through a different medium. Storyboarding
basically means that you produce a series of pictures that clearly display each image or
stage in the plot and the characters, props and setting that you will need to act out
that part of the play.


Thinking about this excellent poem,
you are clearly going to have to be creative about how you present it as a drama. The
poem takes us through a series of stages in the narrator's relationship with her father,
until finally, she is "through" with him and can let him rest in peace and move on
herself. You might want to try creating a story board for each of these stages and think
about how you can symbolically present the nature of the relationship between the father
and daughter. Hope this helps! It sounds like a fascinating project. Good
luck!

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
