Loving A Broken Heart Why won’t she come home with me? Is it because her father does not like me? Am I being used? Ronnie and Marie are a twenty-eight year old couple, they have been together for exactly five months and four days. It is 2 am at an empty train station and Ronnie is doubting Marie love for him just because she will not stay the night. Ronnie has so many unrealistic reasons as to why she has been denying going home with him. ¨Love on the B-line¨ is an effective play because it shows how vacuous or silly people can be in a relationship by having a loving tone, good character goals, and a good plot. In ¨The love of the B-line¨ the tone is very caring. This is effective because it plays a large role in how a reader takes in the story because you realise that they are in love. When you love someone they can easily make you doubt yourself and the things you do. This can be a good or bad thing that happens in relationships.

    ‘The Shifting Heart’ is an Australian drama script written by Richard Beynon and is set in the 1950s and is directed to Australian readers. It comprises the racial attitudes, difficulties and psychological effects of racism faced by a family of Italian migrants, as suggested by the slogan of the book. Beynon has used the play to convey his message of shifting the heart and to place readers in a position to question themselves and their attitudes towards foreign races. The script has added to our Australian history and literature through the plot which enhances the meaning of Beynon’s message through its stereotypical characters and the values that they withhold, these all come together to define and set the scene of our Australian culture.…

    During Romeo and Juliet's first meeting the theme of sudden and forceful love is heavily alluded to. The theme describes a situation in which love is extremely sudden, such as love at first sight, and powerful enough to make previous situations or plans seem insignificant. Though Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet and the scene displayed in Act 1 Scene 5 are notably different, due to them being represented in different mediums, they both touch on this theme using specific diction and details. In Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet the theme is conveyed through the song, “ What is a Youth” , which was playing in the background of their first meeting as well as the meeting itself.…

    This poem was deep, and had a lot of emotion. You could tell that the writer had been really hurt and maybe had even been taken advantage of. She had a dark and weary tone, which meant that this was an emotional piece to write and it had a big impact on her life, or someone else’s life. She had a rhythm that flowed nicely, and for the most part the syllables in each stanza matched every time, (which I particularly like).…

    Dustin Mosko directed the production of Fuddy Meers, written by David Lindsay-Abaire and performed by the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, which I attended on October 6, 2015 at 7:30 pm. I enjoyed this play and thought the actors did a wonderful job; I loved the set and the costumes did a wonderful job completing the character. The story was somewhat confusing to keep me engaged, but I feel like that was the goal of the playwright. However, I wasn’t satisfied with the ending.…

The youthful life affirming relationship is the heart of the play and their love for each other is full of energy and vitality.…

    A tale so old, studied so often, yet greatly misunderstood by the masses. This is the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. This four hundred year old play has been adapted countless times, yet society has failed to understand this amazing literature. Modern culture has accepted the story of Romeo and Juliet as the perfect example of true love, but the truth is far from it. The play is in fact, a tragedy caused by lust and at most, immature hormonal driven love.…

    Love is the superseding subject of the play, however a reader ought to never forget that Shakespeare is uninterested in depicting a prettied-up, dainty adaptation of the feeling, the kind that awful artists expound on, and whose awful verse Romeo peruses while pining for Rosaline. Love in Romeo and Juliet is a ruthless, effective feeling that catches people and slings them against their world, and, now and again, against…
