The time is now. I am back stage pacing back and forth trying not to panic. I am wearing tan khakis, with a blue buttoned up shirt with a light gray cardigan around my neck, I was dressed as Warner from Legally Blonde. This adrenaline inside me is taking over, everyone is telling me that I am going to do well, but deep down I am trying not to vomit from being so nervous. Lights fade out. It is my time to shine. In the midst of this darkness, I walked over to the old fashioned metal high stools…

As they raced, Caesar cried out “‘Help me, Cassius, or I sink!’” (1, 2,111). After Caesar challenged him to a race, Cassius had to rescue the him. This illustrates that Caesar perceives…

orphaned children living dissatisfied life. The play is rich in time imagery, which is used for indicating the passing of time, and to emphasize the temporality of human existence and theme of the play that sheer hope with no action cannot solve one’s disillusionment towards his situation. The time imagery is intricately weaved into the structure of the play, even though it is not liner in structure.
