Makes The Audience Open The Door
1,070 words
Many plays have passed the audiences eyes with no
recognition. There are some plays which most
people do not remember. There are plays about
cats, dogs and most anything one can think up.
There are also plays which try to send a hidden
meaning to the audience. There are plays which are
covers for a real purpose of wasting an audiences
time. More importantly, there are good plays. As
the 1990 winner of the Pulitzer Prize, The Piano
Lesson, by August Wilson, stands out as one of the
greatest plays...

Act Ii Sc Act I Sc

In Shakespeare's play The Tempest, the cast of
characters are squeezed into some archetypal
roles. Prospero is our noble hero, Miranda is the
beautiful maiden, Antonio is the closest thing we
have to a villain. It's our temptation as readers
to categorize these characters as roles and not as
people, perhaps out of convenience. However,
Shakespeare gave his creations the gift of humor,
a tool that allows us to see the subtle details of
their minds; A glimpse at the inner workings of a
character's...

What Does My Name Mean According to the web each
name has its own meaning based on the research of
the sounds of the name. Well, my name is Ricky,
and I found it to be interesting to read about my
personality, which is tightly connected with my
name, according to this theory. I was surprised to
find so many things about my personality that
matched with the information provided by this
website. Still, I do not believe that all people
who have same name also should have same

Support For The Death Penalty Amount Of Time
1,129 words
Capital Punishment is reasonable in today s
society. What this means is that as long as people
are still committing acts of violence, no matter
how civilized a society thinks it is there must be
a sufficient punishment for those crimes. It is
funny how long it took for this nation, a nation
that is supposed to set the example for the rest
of the world to finally question the morality or
ethics of capital punishment. Why you may ask has
it taken so long, I believe that it has taken this
long beca...

Ever remember watching Looney Tunes, the cartoon
show when you were a child? Of course you do
because it was funny and you could sit and watch
it all afternoon. You didn t watch it because of
the violence in it, you really didn t even notice
the violence, but it was there. Violence has
always been present in all types of cartoons. A
lot of cartoon shows today still show violence and
instead of watching the shows because they re
funny, kids are watching them because of the
violence. Parents need ...

World War Ii Heller
1,295 words
Catch- 22: A Study in Post-War Attitudes by Chris
Nicholson In 1961, Joseph Heller published Catch-
22, his first novel. Based on his own war
experiences, the novel wickedly satirized
bureaucracy, patriotism, and all manner of
traditional American ideals. This was reflective
of the increasing disdain for traditional
viewpoints that was growing in America at that
time. (Potts, p. 13) The book soon became
championed as another voice in the antiwar
movement of the 1960? s. However, Heller himself

Reb Saunders Left Eye
1,358 words
Jeremy Leavitt Chaim Potok uses symbolism in The
Chosen many different ways. One thing that is
symbolic in his book is the reference to the right
and left sides of things. Throughout the book this
is used to show what the characters are like.
First Potok illustrates the point when Reuven's
left eye is cut during the baseball game. It is
used again at the hospital. Danny and his father
also illustrate the right and left hand symbolism.
When Danny hit the ball at Reuven, it hit him in
the left eye...

Choice Of Words Word Choice
658 words
Some readers may define the tone as anger in James
Stephens A Glass of Beer. Others may even say that
it leaves an unpleasant tone. By studying the
choice of words that Stephen uses to convey the
tone of his scene, I will demonstrate that beneath
the seemingly outraged situation of the poem lies
something funnier. The true tone of A Glass of
Beer is a sardonic one. Examining each stanza of
the poem offers numerous examples where the tone
of the poem is sustained by the choice of words.
The first...

Gold Rush Doesn T

When Charlie Chaplin was a little boy, a sheep
escaped on its way to a slaughterhouse near where
he lived. Charlie and other youngsters chased the
sheep around, laughing and having fun. But when it
was taken away, Charlie realized the sad finality
of death and cried to his mother. That incident
paved the way for the theme of Charlie s future
filmmaking career. Comedy mixed with pathos made
perfect sense to him. He was also an everyman
character, a lost soul, a wanderer he embodied the

Suddenly, Bob dashes out into the audience and

was an entertaining comedy with many themes and
many plays. The comedy was well performed as well
and was very entertaining. The actors did a
stupendous job of involving the audience and, at
