    On the evening of Saturday October 8th, the cast of the play Fuddy Meers took the stage and put on a unique and exquisite performance. The play took place in the Temple Theatre which I found was a highly interesting venue. There were several different elements that I found greatly intriguing during the course of the ninety minute performance, however, there were a few elements that I felt were also lacking. The first element that I believed helped to add significance to the performance was the stage setup(1). The revolving setup of the stage was perfect for this play and it allowed much versatility for the characters during specific instances.…

It outlined all the effects, good and bad, that comes with being in a relationship as well as depicting all the dilemmas.…

    Everyone remembers the classic fairy tale The Sleeping Beauty, but few have experienced the fascinating twist that is presented by the Moscow Festival Ballet. Directed by Sergei Radchenko, the audience is left on the edge of their seat at every stage of the three act performance; from the curse set on The Sleeping Beauty to the moment she falls in love and gets married. The captivating story of the Sleeping Beauty (Princess Aurora) involves multiple elements that all add to the success of the performance in their own unique way, which create a wonderful work of art. This is precisely why Marius Petipa’s choroeogrphy is considered to be at the top of the spectrum when it comes to classical ballet. More specifically, these elements include Tchaikovsky’s musical talent which sets the tone for the performance, the vibrant costume design which draws the audience’s full attention, and finally the character development of Princess Aurora which sends her on an imaginative journey to eventually fall in love.…

    She did not like the feeling of her skin being bared to the world, not in front of other women and certainly not in front of men; she covered her vital parts with her hands as she hurried towards the bath and climbed in, sinking deep into the hot water and releasing a long, steamy breath. What she had not been able to see through the perfume dimmed water was the small shelf she quickly found herself sitting on, it was unlike any bath she had previously used and curiously explored the shelf with her hand, wondering how whether or not it stretched around the whole bath. “Is the water to your liking, my Lady?” The other girl asked, she was the same height and nearly the same age as Avicia but looked very different with olive skin, dark eyes and black ink etched deep into the skin below her eyes, taking on the form of tears. “If feels wonderful,” Avicia smiled warmly as she looked up at the woman, trying to put a name to the cultural look she wore.…

    Realizing that nothing was working, she resulted in wearing three push up bras to make her chest stand out more. She was also influenced by men in her life that made her feel very insecure about her chest. Throughout this essay, she uses methods of development such as personal experiences, humour, and quotations like “I am nonetheless obsessed by breasts. I cannot help it. I grew up in the terrible fifties -with rigid stereotypical sex roles, the insistence that men be men and dress like men and women be women and dress like women, the intolerance of androgyny - and I cannot shake it, cannot shake my feelings of inadequacy” (Ephron, 3) to express her feelings and opinions for us to understand her point of view and to create interest.…

    The play “Rumors”, by Neil Simon, is an interesting tale of lies, confusion, and, most importantly, rumors. The Wrangler Theater production of this play really brought out its best, and blew me away. Firstly, the main theme for this play would best be summarized by the Mark Twain quote, “If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.” The entire play is basically about miscommunication and lying in an effort to avoid scandal.…

I was telling her about one of my topics for my college essay and how I wrote about a dirt road, and she just got this play and said I would like it. To be honest I never understood how she thought I would like a play just by telling her about my college essay, but it happened. I took her book, but I never really read it anytime throughout my senior year. I would always have it in my purse or in my book bag just incase I wanted to read it, but I never had the opportunity.…

    In regard to Hurston’s story “The Back Room” I don’t think she was presenting a theme of women needing to get married…maybe a realization of you don’t what you have till it’s gone. It seems that Lilya didn’t want to settle but at the same time wasn’t very gentile or straightforward with her suitors either. Personally I found her to be somewhat off-putting but tragic in her obsession with youth that continues to pass her by.…

    There are many ways the human body can be described. It can be literal, anatomical, or poetic. All of these wrapped up will sum up the essay “The Female Body” written by Margaret Atwood, who put words to the wonders and complications of a woman’s body. With an almost rhythmic writing style, Atwood addressed sexist views and rebutted with an intimate and intrusive account of the role women have within a male consumed society. Atwood successfully uses pathos and ethos argumentative points to bring attention to the hardships women face.…
