I didn’t know where I woke up. The bed sheets smelt like wet cigarettes and old beer. A small room with fading pink wallpaper appeared as my bloodshot eyes focused. I was in some roach motel I didn’t recognize. The Bag! Cold panic hit me like ice water. The leather travel bag was sitting in the armchair. I sighed in relief. There was a pack of smokes on the nightstand. I reached over for them—it was empty. Lousy luck is all I’ve had since I took on this assignment. The thing that drove me bat…

Notice a majority ($66.4 Billion) was spent on TV advertising. The average length of a TV announcement is 30 seconds. How effective are these advertisements if the average attention span of an American is 8 seconds (the average attention span of a goldfish is 9 seconds)(Weinreich, Obendorf, Herder, & Mayer, 2008).

Part Three On Saturday, I attended the free reading of Columbinus by the American Theatre Project at the Performing Arts Center. The first thing I noticed about the writing was that the characters in the first Act were stereotypes of high school cliques. I think this was an effective stylistic choice, as it made the characters very general--at once more relatable to a larger group of people, and providing distance at the same time, as stereotypes rarely actually describe a single person…
