Morality Play

Out-of-Class Speech Critique For my out of class speech critique, I went to listen to Josh Birnbaum talk about his experiences as photographer for Illinois’ wheelchair basketball team. In his speech, he talked about the struggles that the team faced on the way to reaching their goal of winning a college national championship. Furthermore, Josh documented the lives of the players and showed the audience the struggles they faced every day, but showed us how each of them overcame the obstacles.…

Performance Analysis For Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew scene that our group had to perform, we made several key decisions in order to more accurately reflect the true personalities of our characters. These decisions affected the tone with which we spoke, the way did blocking on stage, the props in we used as well as the disguises we wore. To begin, our group decided it would be wise to go through the reading several times without acting out the scene first in order to get a feel for…

quote is from Arthur Miller. He was an American writer who focused many of his plays on real life issues like racism and discrimination (“Arthur Miller”). His play The Crucible takes place in Salem, Massachusetts in the 1692. This was the time of the Salem witch trials. The play The Crucible may have been written 64 years ago, but it is still widely read in American Literature classes today. But why is that? How can a play that was written so long ago still be relevant in the modern world today?…

Throughout the play, tension is built in the atmosphere to develop the audience’s knowledge of Eddie’s character. Eddie’s protective attitude towards Catherine and ignorance of Beatrice’s presence allows the audience to discover Eddie’s blinded love for Catherine. Arthur Miller cleverly structures the play in a way that insignificant events build up to reveal Eddie’s duplicitousness; the ultimate reason for the tragic ending of “A View from the Bridge”. The use of rhetorical questions in this…

came, I was so nervous that I couldn’t concentrate and kept missing the ball. To my surprise, my coach wasn’t mad as I thought he would be. My teammates were smiling at me and told me to calm down. Instead of switching me out they continued to let me play. I immensely appreciated their faith and grace in me. Towards the end of the tournament, I started to improve a lot and I also got the chance to meet some people from different schools, such as Korea, Hong Kong, and Guam. It was an amazing…

I arrived on the site about 30 minutes early because I brought my hula hoops from my apartment. I remembered what Rhonda said the goal of the garden was; “To create a spot where people could meditate, talk and relax”, and I wanted to do just that. I hoop dance and when I hoop dance, I like to do it on either an open field or open parking lot. It gives me more room to be creative and productive. I also hoped by me hooping and doing a bunch of tricks that it would attract attention and people…

unique social atmosphere for anyone and it provides them a chance to compete with the opposite sex together. Sometimes, there might not be sufficient interest in a sport to form only girls or only boys teams to play. This would mean going coed would be the only opportunity for teams to play. In circumstances like this, bringing boys and girls together provides children a chance to discover a sport they enjoy and do extremely well at. Lastly, having both genders on one team can alter how the…
