American plays

The members of American High School's drama department team recently performed Qui Nguyen's play Living Dead in Denmark. I enjoyed the production and thought it contained a valuable message. The cast's masterful performance and the engaging, creative plot which delivered a powerful argument made viewing Living Dead in Denmark a highly enjoyable experience. The cast of Living Dead in Denmark was highly skilled and were able to engage their audience, making the play a pleasure to watch. In…

Lynn Nottage’s play Ruined takes place in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The play opens in a bar that is run by a woman named Mama. A man named Christian arrives, offering Mama several goods he has acquired. He also leaves Mama with two girls, Sophie and Salima. At first Mama refuses to take in Sophie because she has been sexually assaulted so many times that she is “ruined” (Nottage, 12). However, Christian pleads with her because Sophie is his niece. Sophie and Salima work at the bar, along…

effective in revealing how much politics play into health care settings, as it incisively condemned the American government’s public health policies at the time. The movie made me wonder several “what if?” questions such as: What if Reagan was not President, and instead a more liberal politician was in office? What if the greater public was more open and comfortable with homosexuality as it is now? It is saddening and astonishing how much money and power plays into the well being of people…

Through this assignment I am going to discuss the importance of play in the Early Years based on the content of a government publication: “Learning, Playing and Interacting”, with a particular and personal focus on the importance of free, unstructured play; and the importance of outdoor learning based on Hilary Fabian’s journal article “Outdoor Learning Environments: Easing the Transitions from the Foundation Stage to Key Stage One”, with a special focus on outdoor learning in the school…

Recently, in the American school system, more challenging curricula are imposed, and the kids have to sacrifice their playtime to finish all the academic work they are assigned. In my opinion, however, this method of depriving playtime for skill training will nonetheless produce results that counter the expectation of having more successful futures. In this essay, I will argue that schools should give children more opportunities to play instead of adding more academic works because play assists…

Each participant was interviewed about their teaching beliefs and was observed while engaging in a constructive play activity with small groups of children.

Florida to watch the musical play called Violet. This play was about a young girl who had suffered from a horrible accident, getting cut in the face by an ax. In the play Violet sets off to Tulsa in hopes that a preacher can heal her of her “ugliness”. The main purpose of theatre is to try and personalize whatever emotions the characters are going through. Emotions such as love, rejection, disappointment, betrayal, joy and suffering (Sporre, n.d.). Throughout the play the characters bring…

In 2013 the average 13 year old gamer spent about 6.3 hours playing video games weekly. My sources were CNN, Futurism, SheppardMullin, and the American Psychological Association. You should care because you or someone you know most likely loves to play video games. They could be a really nice person but their gamer nature might contradict it. The reason I’m doing this topic is because I am a huge fan of gaming and I want to show that all gamers aren’t bad or a terrible person. First I’ll be…

Each sport is predominately played by males, even though women have now proven that they can play the sports also. Instead of baseball, high school and college women athletes play softball, which is played with different rules. Both sports require each team to wear the same uniform with a number and their last name on the back. Normally both sports have their team wear two different uniforms…
