Peter and the Starcatcher is an exhilarating and adventurous story that tells the tale of the well known free-spirited boy, Peter Pan’s backstory. Peter and the Starcatcher is based on the 2004 novel written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, which was fashioned into a play by Rick Elice. I had an exceptional experience of seeing the play on March 29, at 9:30, adapted by director, Kerry Bishop on the A.B Lucas Secondary School stage. This play certainly catches the whimsical and wonderful essence…

Their personalities, attitudes, and emotions mimic those of teenagers today. But their range of emotions and issues are relatable to people of any age, gender or background. This is one of many reasons why the story…

4. MACBETH In this chapter, I will elaborate on Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy Macbeth. This is one of my favorite tragedies since it is about the psychological effects of ambition on those who strive for power for its own sake. “In the play Shakespeare depicts the tragedy of a man torn between an amoral will and a powerfully moral intellect. Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a study of the evil that is in every human heart and of one man’s downfall as he willfully gives way to its temptations”.…

good times but they eventually see what they were hiding from each other for so long and they accept what they have decided. The theme of the play Oklahoma would have been love, this is because the two main characters in the story Curly and Laurey Williams pretend that they don’t like each other at all they try to outsmart each other every time they talk about each other when they both together trying to sound like they don’t care about each other’s feelings and that they wouldn’t care less…

As society evolves so does language. Language is changing as the way people use it changes and there is a reason we do not talk in Shakespearian English anymore. New words and phrases are constantly being coined while others are dying out. Changes in language have become so…
