situation I would have donated everything I could to my sister to keep her alive. The difference is that Anna had been donating since the day she was born, and I’ve never had to donate anything or give anything up because of it. Since we find out in the end that Anna wanted to donate and that Kate wanted her to fight against it so she could die, I found that I differed from Anna’s character in this aspect of the book. I wouldn’t have listened to my sister and I would have tried even harder to…

compliment me for turning out so “normal” despite my past. They make comments on how my life could have turned out so differently had I made different decisions when times got tough. Although I can look back now and think about what might have been, I never thought some of them were decisions at all. I did what I needed to so that I could survive. Not in the life or death kind of way, but in the way that preserved my self-worth, my psyche. In evaluating my psychological health the greatest…

Though many scholars may harshly criticize My Fair Lady for not adhering to Bernard Shaw’s intentions for Pygmalion, it is my conviction that the musical’s additions to his play should be celebrated, not castigated. The costumes, scenery, actions, and especially the songs significantly develop the characters, greatly enhance its comedic aspects, and fine tune many of Shaw’s themes; they are indispensable in gaining a full appreciation of Pygmalion. Songs play a vital role in developing Shaw’s…
