Stylistic Analysis Of Party Time By Tantra Bensko

Decent Essays
I selected "Party Time" by Tantra Bensko. The story is about Clyde Hancock's excursion into a strange l little town called Naryway, where a man skipping in the train might be caused to call the police, set the dogs loose, of even split his throat. The man send to be paid to spy on the town's inhabitants, but in this night he runs into an owl who causes an accident when it tries to fly off with him. Ultimately, Clyde is killed by the owl and it is made clear that though this sort of thing happens often in Naryway, no one will remember it as the owl feats on the memories. I chose this story because it seemed interesting and admittedly because it was written in a rather standard fashion. The experimental aspects were not in a strange way

    This week’s lecture by Professor Dan Gilbert and the excerpts of Tera Hunter’s works titled “Domination and resistance: The Politics of Wage Household Labor in New South Atlanta” and “Dancing and Carousing the Night Away” portrayed the role labor relations played in relation to inequality.

Tera Hunter discuss how workers challenged daily inequality in the workplace and Professor Gilbert made the social and political implication of their actions more obvious.

    The Kinesis dance performance that I decided to analyze was Last Dance. The dance was choreographed by Amanda Steiner, and the music that was used was “Love in the Dark” by Adel. Besides being the choreographer, Amanda was always one of the two dancers. The form of the dance was a narrative, with Amanda as a wife and the second dancer, Christian Vidaure, as her husband. The idea of Last Dance was about how love sometimes changes, and how those changes lead to drifting apart.…

    The short story The Dangerous Game was filled with intense and intriguing moments that caused me to enjoy it.

With this system, anything unfamiliar or unorthodox was automatically determined to be evil or sinful. This toxic practice of presumption becomes a negative, catalyzing element in the life of Bisclavaret, a werewolf living during the Medieval Era.…
