One-act play

Winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1931 for “Allison’s House”, Susan Glaspell is responsible for creating the high school nation-read One-Act Play known as “Trifles”. Published in 1916, Glaspell defied the harshest restrictions set for women and shared her talent with readers all throughout the country. Back then, it was infrequent to hear about women completing such a major act. However, publication became an ordinary habit for Susan Glaspell. Additionally, Glaspell would often write about the oppression directed at women and revolve her stories plot’s around it. Being the author over roughly 74 pieces of works, in Trifles, Susan Glaspell uses symbolism to justify Mrs. Wright’s actions. A major way Glaspell gives approval for Mrs. Wright’s…

from my goals, I feel I am very qualified for this position because I am good with time management. Inspiration comes from within your soul, but what if you don’t know how to pull it out? If elected, I will be an anchor to my peers and hold them down. I feel that to be on SGA you have to have social skills and not be afraid to comfort someone who needs your help. You have to be human, down to earth, and actually connect to your classmate’s one on one. I will work continuously to make their…

Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde has a unique title and tons of irony in the play. Throughout the play both Algernon and Jack impersonate someone named Earnest, but they are both ironically not earnest. Specifically how they act frivolously, irreverently, and manipulate others. The definition of earnest is “showing depth and sincerity of feeling.” Throughout the play, the way Algernon acts frivolously makes him not earnest. In the first act, Algernon knows that bringing Jack to his…

In one situation, the men of the town crowd around one of the black women, Daisy, fighting over her while the porch sitters watch. There was “A big burst of laughter at Daisy’s discomfiture. The boys had to act out their rivalry too. Only this time, everybody knew they meant some of it. But all the same the porch enjoyed the play and helped out whenever extras were needed” (67). Hurston uses diction choices of “play,” “act out,” and “extras” to connote this scene with a play, as if already…

1994. In some works of literature, a character who appears briefly, or does not appear at all, is a significant presence. Choose a novel or play of literary merit and write an essay in which you show how such a character functions in the work. You may wish to discuss how the character affects action, theme, or the development of other characters. Avoid plot summary. In many works of literature, it is often a central point for minor characters to have substantial impacts on a novel. Khaled…

Standardized testing such as the SAT and the ACT is a type of test that is meant to determine how well you understand several academic subjects in order to be admitted into college. These types of test include questions in a form of an essay, short answers, multiple choices, or a combination of these together. This practice has been used for so long that it has become a part of the American culture. Every year, high school juniors and seniors take the SAT or the ACT in the hope that they score…

The casting of the actors for this play were well suited with the talents of each of the performers. They drew the audience into the action and provided the audience a balance of character development and comedic content. This was reinforced through the play with actors monologs directed toward the audience, revealing a characters internal conflicts. One area that was a bit of a contradiction came with the choice of using Amanda Tavarez and Belinda Boyd in the roles of Gwendolyn and Lady…

Adriano Cabral was not at all as I expected. As I entered the play 10 minutes before show time I realized how unorganized everything was. First the usher showed me to my seat but instead of it being empty it was already taken. As I took the time to find another seat without trying to take somebody else’s seat like what happened to mine, one of the usher relayed the message to me that there was a misprint in the tickets and I was forced to sit in the back corner of the theatre. As the play began…

out to get you? In one of William Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies, Hamlet, acts of violence seem to follow each and every character in the play. In the beginning, Hamlet was thrown into a whirlwind of change and endless emotions. With his father just being murdered by his uncle Claudius and Polonius banning the relationship between him and Ophelia, the only thought running through Hamlet’s mind was anger and revenge. The acts of violence throughout the play comes in three different forms;…
