Portia: The Best Female Shakespearean Part? Portia
is one of Shakespeare's best parts for an actress
as, apart from being one of the central characters
within the main plot of the play; she displays
great wit and intelligence. These are assets which

honourable traits. Portia has many lengthy
speeches, and in almost all of theses she displays
her great intelli...

Gender Roles Rock Star

Subject: Showgirls and Present day Gender Role
Construction Showgirls is a definite backlash to
the typical woman's role in society. It is very
interesting to me that a movie with this message
is set in a normally deviant setting, when it is
trying to portray the strength of a woman. I feel
this is the reason that many woman did not see the
film. They are offended, disgusted, and maybe even
a little Strippers are able to be in control of
the customers at all times. They have the power to

Thinking About The Overall Production Play

Drama Play Review on The musical Play that I did
my review on was West Side Story by Jerome
Robbins. I saw this play at the Woodland High
School with my family. We went to see it because
my older brother, Nick was in it. Thinking about
the overall production, I liked that it was about
two gangs fighting over their turf as they called
it. It was cool because it showed me what simple
lives they had but ending up in a tragic ending. I
also liked how they seemed to have an accurate
perception of wha...

Slow Motion Takes Place

The play Ragtime is set in New York in 1906. This
musical is very intriguing because the story of
the characters in quite emotional. The actions
that take place in this play are very embellished.
In order to portray some of the dramatic scenes of
the play, the actors must use exaggeration during
their songs and actions. This helps the audience
to imagine what the characters are feeling. The
props that are used by the characters are
intricate and allow the audience to understand

suspense mounts and yet it doesnt get as high as
we would like it to. However, if you are capable
of forgetting the fact of who goes, you can
thoroughly enjoy the suspense-filled moments. On
the other hand, Contact is not a film about
suspense. It is about characters and a story that

Pulp Fiction Film Review Quentin Tarantino s Pulp
Fiction is one of the most daring, puzzling, and
ultimately exciting pieces of cinema to hit the
screen in years. As wholly original as it is a
copy of hundreds of films before it about tales of
hitmen and criminals, it dares you to step out of
the dull and enter a colorful, exhilarating world
that could only be Los Angeles. The intensity
level of the movie is off the scale. People are
