Amish school shooting

The central conflict of The Amish Project was not a central conflict as seen in the traditional sense. It is not one force in opposition with another, but rather the audience simply trying to figure out what happens and why. For the first little while, as the actress begins her monologue, the audience perplexes as to whom the little Amish girl standing in front of them describing her family is. The audience is eventually introduced to this girl as Velda along with six other characters: Anna, Carol Stuckey, Eddie Stuckey, America, Sherry Local, and Bill North. All seven of these characters are portrayed by the same actress, which initially adds to the confusion, but eventually as the audience familiarizes themselves with the dialect for each character, differentiating between them becomes as easy as if each character was portrayed by their own actor. As the show moves forward, the ambiguity of the situation dissipates through the information added by each character. Whether it’s the relaying of a newscast, a first-hand account, or…

has a law (statute 118.15) set in place to require children from the age of 6 to 16 attend school. The parents of two girls want to remove their children from school due to their religious beliefs being part of the Old Order Amish community.

The belief that education helps ready citizens for the real world…

have done before is write on a piece of paper a person’s name, and all of the negative things that that person is doing to themselves or others, and reading it as a prayer out loud, and as I am reading, I am also feeling and putting intention out to “freeze” that person’s actions or harm that they are doing, put it into a plastic baggie, seal it, and stick it in the freezer with the intention of helping that person to stop harming themselves or others. Sort of putting their negative addiction on…

The Amish live a lifestyle that is both simple and complex. Historically, it would not be inaccurate to say that those outside the faith have little understanding of what the lives of the Amish entail. This is largely in part due to the fact that the Amish faith places restriction on being filmed. As a consequence, interviews with Amish families are few and the information obtained in the amount of available time is limited. People outside of the community of the Amish have little knowledge…

The Amish & Mennonites: A Non-modern/Modern Civilization in Society Today Can you imagine a time without cars, phones, electricity, or anything modern that we have today? Well the Amish can, because they have kept there civilization as non-modern as possible, whereas the Mennonites tend to live a bit more modern. I have always been intrigued by the Amish and Mennonites way of life. The things that interest me are: there history, what Rumspringa is, and the lack of technology they use. The…

and Key Terms Approximately 300,000 individuals in America are members of an Amish community, making the Amish one of fastest growing populations in the nation (Diebel, 2014). Known within the health care sector for their strict adherence to a traditional lifestyle and “reluctance to seek preventative health care and delaying necessary medical treatment” (Brewer and Bonalumi, 1995, p. 494), the Amish are distinct from most other communities in America. Despite aversion to preventative health…

But as time went by Amish people decided to accept telephones into their society. Proscenium Stage I decided to use a Proscenium Stage because the play needed spacious set given that there is a lot of running through the play. A Proscenium Stage would allow us to set all the furniture and sets in a spacious manner. We also use a wall to separate the kitchen from the living room and we are only able to make that without blocking anyone’s view with a Proscenium Stage. Ground Plan The ground…

the latest kitchen gadgets, start the car, check the gas, and prepare for the busy day ahead. School children awaiting their scheduled bus arrivals while glancing at cell phones or listening to loud music through ear phones while cars rush by, each with their own specific destinations and goals set for the day. Cell phones ring with newsfeed updates, alarms, and calls from relatives that haven’t been seen or heard from in months. Occasionally, when I need to clear my head from the days that seem…

trusting the statement that is “No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main.” Every individual is a puzzle piece which fits flawlessly into a much bigger picture. In this Instance it is an Amish community. Peter Weir expressed his opinion on what belonging means to us as humans through his film which works in sync with the ideology’s of John Donne. He portrays his views by a variety of techniques such as camera angels, symbolism, lightening,…

The Amish: A People Of Perservation Viewing the Amish riding their steed drawn carriages through Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, you get a look at how life would have been 150 years back. The Amish, without their power, autos, and TV give off an impression of being a static society, never showing signs of change. This, be that as it may, is only a fantasy. Truth be told, the Amish are a dynamic society which is, through business sector strengths and different meaning. In this way, one may be…
