Hallowed Affliction The author of a medieval lay takes on the challenge of convincing an audience to open their minds to the mystical and suspend disbelief. The medieval lay, a poetic work usually put to music, often asks people to actively take away the themes, criticisms, and messages from magical and mythical stories.

I found all of these elements in this story, “The Girl Who Drank the Moon.” For example some of the…

Cinder vs. Ella After reading Cinder and watching Cinderella, I thought they were similar but with further noticing details, they may be more different. Two different stories with two different plots, so different yet so similar. Cinder is about a cyborg who finds out she’s the rightful heir to the Lunar crown. Ella on the other hand is about a fantasy love between the Prince and the mysterious princess. Ella is also known as Cinderella gets her happy ending and Cinder is left at…

They were clearly all very childish and they all came off a little bit immature. They were chasing each other and laughing. I had thought only one fairy would be on stage and just walking through the forest waiting on Oberon. Puck came in through a high window not casually walking through the forest either. The fairies are very interested…

I saw the play Peter and the Starcatcher, written by Rick Elice, on Tuesday, November 15, 2016. Elice’s comedic play acts as the prequel to J.M.

Creating the Hero in Sire Degare and Sir Orfeo The characteristics that make a hero differ between Sire Degare and Sir Orfeo. Although there are many similarities in their roles, how they perform as heroes varies because of their skills and levels of experience. Degare’s role requires much more physical and traditional heroism while Orfeo’s skills are musical and cunning. The other main aspect that differentiates the two heroes is their amount of experience. Sir Degare has to establish himself…
