In the Blood Response I was very entranced, didn’t want to look away. There were a lot of parts that were sad. I felt bad for Hester and her children. I felt disgusted by and angry at her oppressors, particularly the preacher. It made me think about very real and prevalent issues like race and class. I think this play could open up a lot of people's’ eyes to a new perspective, because what Hester goes through is not easy. These are also issues that tend to be controversial so it’s important that…

dreams of being a Jazz musician but the narrator has difficulty coping the idea as he feels that kind of lifestyle does not seem to be suitable for Sonny, “I simply couldn’t see why on earth he’d want to spend his time hanging around nightclubs, clowning around on bandstands, while people pushed each other around a dance floor. It seemed—beneath him” (p.235). Through the narrator’s perspective you see the man vs man conflict. As the narrator being the older sibling he’s seen as a paternal…

The Yellow Wallpaper had culture as one of its themes; one could see that through the narrator. The narrator seemed to have mental instability due to the fact that she was not allowed to visit certain people, or travel. This was mainly because her husband, who was also a physician, dismissed her mental issues on nerves and hysteria. Later on in the reading the narrator starts to see and imagine things vividly, mostly from not having anything to which occupy herself with. In today’s culture…

Since I was young, I have loved watching movies. It is the only thing I can do all day long. And I have admired actors, thinking that acting is something that I cannot even try, which is meant for someone special and talented. Before I came here, I knew there was an acting for non-major class. I wanted to take the class, but I did not have courage to take this class and I just wanted to stay in my comfort zone. As I came here, however, everything was a challenge. After I realized that, I said to…

On September 24, 2017, I attended a performance of Twelfth Night, which was presented by the Wichita Shake Sphere Company and was performed in Wichita Scottish Rite. Twelfth Night was directed by Kevin Sower. Stage Manager was Amanda Denning and the costumes were designed by Jane Tanner. The play lasted for about two hours. And for me the two hours went by so fast, that I didn’t even realize it. They reason behind it could be because the play was very alluring and interesting! “Twelfth…

If the battacchio is struck it makes smacking noise loudly and with such little force it transfers from the object through to the person acting like they have been struck.…

Commedia dell'arte which translates to "comedy of arts," was the first professional form of theatrical art. This distinctive form of art first begun in Italy during the early fifteenth century, and thrived with popularity throughout Europe, during the seventeenth century. Commedia dell'arte was termed the…
