    • 2031 Words
    • 9 Pages

    “A squared plus b squared.” I blurted. “That’s the equation isn’t it?” I hid the book behind my back hoping Pythagoras wouldn’t see it. He narrowed his eyes at me. “What’s that behind your back?” Pythagoras’s brown hair was mussed like he hadn’t slept well and there were shadows under his green eyes.

Why would he have come to my house and arranged triangles from firewood? “It’s nothing.” I said quickly. “And it’s not a book. I can’t read.” That was a lie, I could read very well. “Go home. Why are you at my house anyways?” “Don’t burn the book.” Pythagoras warned me, and I got the message that he had seen it. “Daphne, when you’re done with the book, can I see it? I want to see if any of it is written in Akkadian.” He glanced at the firewood and said awkwardly, “Can I borrow some firewood?” “Sure.” I replied, and he left the house with all the wood in the fireplace.

It read that I should meet him in the marketplace. After work ended and I collected more wood, I crammed the book and the firewood…

    It shows how one’s idea of Hell is that suffering can’t be ignored. It’s always there in the forefront of the person’s mind. There are other things in the room, though, they are not actually there: a bronze and a letter opener. The letter opener was in fact used when one of the character’s attempted to kill another. The action, of course, doesn’t work because all the characters are, as they tried to name it, “absent”. The use of an imaginary letter opener in place of a real one seems to signify…

    Moliere’s Imaginary Invalid , a musical, farce and a comedy all at the same time. A play like nothing I've seen before. I myself realized that I enjoy musicals, and this was no exception. This play keeps the audience attention, while at least my attention. The setting takes place in Paris during the seventeenth century. The play was originally written in French, and Dan Smith worked to translate it into English. There are nine characters in the Imaginary Invalid but I would say that their are…
