Flower Girl Stage Directions
1,096 wordsIn the preface Shaw describes the Oxford phonetician Henry Sweet, on whom Professor Higgins is modeled, but warns us that Higgins is not a portrait of Sweet. Shaw says that he wrote the play in order to make the English aware of the importance of phonetics, and he is grateful that the play has been a great success on the stage. He complains that the way English is written has little to do with the way it is pronounced, and he pleads for a new alphabet and a reform in spelling. A heavy late-night...

York N Y 19 Th Century
1,278 wordsRegardless of age, race, sex, or religion, divorce has devastating, often long-term, consequences. The immediate effects of divorce, such as hurt, anger, and confusion, are evident in both children and adults. The longer-term effects are not so easy to pin point. Adults are usually able to articulate their emotions and verbalize their distress, anger, pain and confusion to help themselves through this period of transition in their lives. As well, adults have the means and ability to seek outside...

Round And Round Midnight Sky Eyes
343 wordsThe confusion swirls round and round her eyes, All these thoughts making her mind curl. Every crease, every wrinkle of her brain Aches from trying to understand Why you are so fake. She knows you care, it shoots out your eyes Like cries from a spoiled childs mouth. And yet you surround her with thousands of lies. You keep it all inside, and then drown it In a five dollar liquor. Why take your emotions And lock them away in the midnight sky, Only to fill the space with ill-fated potions? Your lif...

Act Four Scene Lady Macbeth
1,929 wordsThe Demise of Lady Macbeth in Macbeth Lady Macbeth is first portrayed as a strong character in Shakespeare's Macbeth. Since she is introduced while calling on evil spirits to make her cruel, any reader can easily believe that she is manly, even more so than many of the male characters in the play. However, how strong and manly is she? Lady Macbeth's masculinity may be strong at first, but her feminine traits far outweigh her masculine ones. Lady Macbeth's ungraceful demise in Macbeth is due to t...

Point Of The Play Make The Audience
733 wordsMichael Frank Noises Off is a 2 hour classical farce that appears at first to be one play; but, after the Second Act, one can clearly see that it is composed of two plays running parallel to each other that are: Nothing On, a sex farce, and the backstage farce that takes place whilst the cast rehearse for the final leg of the Nothing On tour. The two plays meld, as the characters make their exits from Nothing On and entrances to the backstage tomfoolery. Whilst the characters come and go from on...

Research And Development Human Behavior
1,203 wordsWhen many Americans think about Germany, they automatically think of the Nazis and the experiments they did with the Jews. But what they dont know is that the U. S. gov. did the same thing. It all started in the 50 s during the Korean War. Concerned about the rumors of Communist brainwashing of POWs, the CIA director Allen Dulled authorized the MKULTRA program in April 1953. It would later become notoriously known for the many unusual and sometimes inhumane experiments that the CIA financed. Tho...

Black And White Polish Jews
1,160 words... y, there is the viewpoint of an old Jewish man, who does not sing, but remains in his chair looking distraught and angry, hopelessly outnumbered in his stance. The pseudo-traditional German folk song (composed by John Kinder and Fred Ebb for the film) continues, more and more instruments join in and the tempo picks up. Naturally this has an effect on our two characters who leave soon after and return to their car. By which time, the music has reached a massive crescendo. Max turns to Brian a...

Critique Of Pure Reason Operating System
767 wordsBut if the mind actively generates perception, this raises the question whether the result has anything to do with the world, or if so, how much. The answer to the question, unusual, ambiguous, or confusing as it was, made for endless trouble both in Kant's thought and for a posterity trying to figure him out. To the extent that knowledge depends on the structure of the mind and not on the world, knowledge would have no connection to the world and is not even true representation, just a solipsis...

Brutal Rape Film Jared
1,080 wordsBased on the stage play by Nick Enright (Lorenzo's Oil, etc), this provocative and topical film is gut wrenching stuff examining the devastating impact a brutal rape and shocking murder has on a small NSW coastal community. However, it also has a more personal and topical concern that centres on the tense and mutually antagonistic relationship between 17 year old Jared (Laurence Breuls, in his first feature film) and his mother Diane (played by Linda Cropper, a veteran of stage, tv and film).

Plays We Have Read Horizon Of Significance Play
766 wordsBefore turning to Stoppard's play, however, I'd like to linger for a few moments on those plays we have read in Liberal Studies: some Greek tragedies, Aristophanes's Clouds, and Shakespeare's Tempest and, most importantly, Hamlet. These all contain elements that seem to be lacking in Stoppard's play -- and our initial confusion, if there is any, may stem in large part from our sense that we " re missing something that we are used to. Traditional drama presents human actions in a social context. ...

Mcgartland Amp Polgar Mcgartland Amp Polgar 1994 Method
658 wordsIn a world driven by experience, the quest to find the best method and approach to scientific and psychological studies continues. Mcgartland and Polgar (1994) contend that psychology can be clearly seen to have two distinct methods of investigation- 1) The empirical- mathematical and 2) the culture interpretive method. In recognizing this, it is still often the empirical-mathematical approach that is dominantly used and the commitment to this method has, according to Mcgartland & Polgar (19...

Honest And Fair Feigning Madness
1,344 wordsIn William Shakespeare's, Hamlet, the protagonist exhibits a puzzling, duplicitous nature. Hamlet contradicts himself throughout the play as he attempts to deal with his internal conflicts. He endorses both the virtues of acting a role and that of being true to one's self. He supports both of these conflicting endorsements with his actions. This ambiguity is demonstrated by his alleged madness, for he does behave madly, only to become perfectly calm and rational an instant later. These inconsist...

Critical Analysis Of Milton Paradise Lost
996 wordsIt was a time of turmoil, confusion, and frustration. The people were without a leader, they had no direction, and the country was in a state of confusion. The Parliament had rebelled against King Charles I. England blamed God and did not understand why God would put the country in such a state of misery and be the cause of much suffering.
