Networks like BET usually consists of mainly Black actors and actresses whereas Lifetime usually consists of Whites. One network that has diversity is the Disney Channel Network. Disney Channel has always had a diverse cast of characters, actors, and actresses. A show called Jessie reflects diversity on the show by them incorporating an African American actress and an Indian actor into a wealthy White family. This is a smart decision because the younger generation…

Burke created the pentad to use the theory to analyze different acts in human life by applying the five elements. Pentad method is versatile because a specific act can be studied from various…

a classic doll would look. Kristine looked darker, more mysterious, and older than Nora. I enjoyed the sound that came from the pianist being a part of the story. She would play the piano at times in the play to aid in the audience feeling as the actors felt. During dramatic parts of the play, the piano music would often escalate into a frenzy and then completely stop leaving the audience in silence to mindfully digest the chaos that they just watched. The color and sound brought Dollhouse to a…

Realizing the Connections Between the Viewer and Characters Sympathy is a confusing emotion felt when one tries to relate with another; when looking at it in a subjective point of view, one may actually begin to rationalize with another by relating to their scenarios. In the movie “The Reader”, directed by Stephen Daldry, the characters help develop the audiences’ mutual similarities with the cast by letting viewers witness the hardships that characters have to go through. When looking at the…

his recent movie Me Before You (2016). This latest work of his has to be one of my favorites. In this film, it showed the type of actor that Sam was. Taking on the challenging role of Will Traynor who became quadriplegic after a motorcycle accident, Sam gave a statement in an interview on how he got to understand Will; “"One of the earliest things I learned as an actor was to never judge your character, to never think anything he does is wrong," Sam Claflin said. "You have to understand why he…

Drama is a type of medium or style in which emotions, conflicts or contrasts of character, tragedy are depicted. A story that surrounds all these is created (written) and then enacted on the stage. A person is said to be good at acting when he or she is able to bring out or depict the same emotional level at which the author has written it. The most successful dramas have a perfect blend of all these. Shakespearian plays are famous for its tragedy. Some of his plays include Hamlet, Othello, King…

To motivate audience members to address these problems with society, Miller creates characters they can empathize with. Because Death of a Salesman is a play, most characters are actors with a physical presence and capacity for human emotion rather than merely printed names. The theatrical realist movement inspired plays about middle-class characters and encouraged natural acting. Miller took this movement further; to maximize the chance of the audience identifying with his characters, he…

Proud Mary Proud Mary was by far one of the best movies that I have seen this year. The movie is an action packed, kick-butt film in which Taraji P Henson plays the lead character, Mary. NY Times described Taraji as a, “hit woman with a soft spot” and Variety describes her as a, “Haunted assassin who bonds with a kid.” I, however, describe Taraji’s character Mary as simply a resilient and audacious hero. In Proud Mary, Mary was a part of a mafia that she had been affiliated with all her…
