A Christmas Story

The play I went to go see was The Christmas story, based off the writings and film by Jean Shepherd. The play was held at Tennessee Performing Arts Center on the 27th of November. The film “The Christmas Story” is a classic, so I chose this play to see because it was a perfect to get me in the Christmas spirit. In hallway way before the theatre, they had displayed props from the show such as the leg lamp and the pink bunny costume. These props added excitement before the show started. As we entered the theatre, Christmas music was playing and the greeters had on Santa hats. As the play started, I soon realized the play went right along with the movie. The plot of both the movie and the play was about a man named Ralphie, who was looking back on his childhood.…

“A Christmas Story”, the play directed by Susan Ferley and performed at December 2nd, 2015, was a well-performed play in my opinion. The story is about a boy named Ralphie Parker wanting a BB gun: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock and "this thing which tells time" for his Christmas present. In the story, he does all he can to receive that gun but their parents reject his wish because they thought it was too dangerous for him. The writer, Jean…

On Saturday, December 3rd, I attended the matinee showing of “A Christmas Story”. The Chippewa Valley Theater Guild preformed the play at the Grand Theater in Eau Claire. The original story was written by Jean Sheperd, however this production was adapted by Philip Grecian and directed by Jake Lindgren. The play is set in the 1940’s in Indiana. This play could be considered to be a comedy, however most would view it as a drama with moments of comedic relief. The major theme in this play is all…

perspective on the Catholic Bible. The information I have acquired still continues to question faith and facts. My knowledge of the Bible, continues to be altered every class. The traditional Christmas story that most of us have been brought up with is the one with Jesus being born in a stable in Bethlehem in Judea, the shepherds and the wise men. Is this the accurate interpretation of the nativity story? After analyzing the text closely, critical scholars have realized that, the…

I couldn 't believe it! My family had started Christmas without me. According to my clock, I still had minutes left before I could get out of bed and yet I could hear my sister chattering and laughing with my parents. Quickly slipping from my room and down the hallway, I passed my little brother 's bedroom, noticing his door was still closed. It seemed he was missing out too. Still pitch-black outside, Santa had left the tree lights on, transforming the front room into a Christmas…

When you talk to your teacher do you try to keep eye contact? Well in Kenya that’s considered rude, I know crazy right! This was just one of the challenges Irene had to face when moving to the U.S. One of Irene's favorite best childhood memories was christmas. In Kenya christmas is all about family coming together.

Through the years, Christmas has changed from family gathering, fun, joyful religious holiday to a day focused on who receives what and how great the value of the gift is. In the short story “Noel” we see this theory come into play. This short story shows how this holiday is not what it used to be. Christmas has changed from a traditional celebration to a modernized day in which is focused around money and receiving. Several patterns are recognized in this story and can provide evidence to prove…

Chanyeol was not over reacting. To him, this wasn't just any old star-gazer. It was something he bought to remember his very first trip across the sea. He found it at a very small market for only two gold coins (which was cheap considering the thing currently has a value of over 100). He didn't know the thing was meant for men who wanted to see the stars up close, but he did like the brass device and the blue stone in the center. It fit perfectly in his hands and that's how he knew it was meant…

Riding in to work with Rob, Melanie told him how much she loved the decorating of his home. “It was the most fun I have ever had.” Rob told her that "All those decorations, except for the icicle lights, had been my mothers. Having you with us inspired my dad Mel. He has not been willing to put up the decorations since my mom died. So he pulled them out of storage because of you. If I didn 't know better I would think you are one of those Christmas Angels that show up in those Christmas movies on…
