Internship Reflection From April through June of 2017, I was engaged in an internship at Greenwood Community Theatre in Greenwood, South Carolina, as they put on their production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. My role in the production included acting the play, helping the stage crew build and move sets, and producing two promotional videos for the theater. I was an actor in the ensemble, meaning I played various minor roles, including the baker, a crony, and a plate. As a stage crew member,…
properly read and write. This happens because the brain mixes up and confuses letters. Each case is different in the letters, numbers, or words that get confused. Dyslexia can happen to anyone as it can be genetic or caused by certain environmental factors. It is, however, treatable, and I was lucky enough to be able to guide a close friend through her endeavor with the wordy beast. I never would have imagined helping someone else with their disability would also improve my reading ability. "I…
Bigfoot Is Alive? Bigfoot's existence has been a controversial topic for over 45 years. This creature who is said to look like a very large man, covered in hair, has been said to be located in different areas of North America. The existence of bigfoot is fairly difficult to prove because there have never been any bone discoveries over the fifty years following his first known sighting. Many people do not believe in Bigfoot, however, there are many different types of evidence that may prove…
against Britain and defend the colonies. Henry alludes to Homer’s The Odyssey in the second paragraph of the speech by stating that “We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts” The “sirens” were mythical creatures described in Homer’s epic poem that turned anyone listening to their song insane. Alluding to the sirens, Henry masterfully compares England’s oppressions to the sirens, implying that if the…
In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, she writes of a beast going against his creator. While created to better humanity, the beast goes on to destroy his creator life. Shelleys work provides an example of unintended consequences. Examples of advancement leading to unintended consequences can been seen throughout history. A recent example is the digitization of sources and music. Before the 1990’s, the music and books would have to be bought physically, but the creation of the internet has facilitated…
This idea is communicated most strongly in the repetition of the first stanza at the end which is indicative of a return to normalcy, perhaps even to facing new horrible foes. The subject has slain the beast, his father was proud, and now the cycle repeats. Carroll’s absurdist language does not mark “Jabberwocky” as a poem for the young. For children, the poem takes on a meaning similar to dear Alice’s interpretation. Something has died and for the purposes…

Their plane crashes on an island. Upon crashing, the pilot and all the other adults have died, and the young children have been left alone on the island.

like animals. One of the workmen throws a piece of bread into a crowd of starved bodies and they become “wild beasts of prey, with animal hatred in their eyes; an extraordinary vitality had seized them, sharpening their teeth and nails” (95). The only concept these people begin to believe in becomes their will to survive; either kill or be killed. Teeth become sharpened like savage beasts, the will to kill starts to spark in their eyes, and the vigor for food surges through their bodies. In…
village they had captured what they thought to be a werewolf. In all reality the beast was a boy that had gone missing in the forest when he was very, very young and was raised by wolves. The last and third lesson taught in the book was do what you think is right, even when everyone thinks you are wrong. On multiple occurrences, Ishaq was right even when no one believed her. She was the only person to realize that the beast mentioned before was a boy. She knew how to fight off bandits when the…
