One-act play

never able to get along for more than short periods of time. As each of the family members holds very different ideals, experiences, and values it is not hard to see why they don't function together as well as they should. Moreover, in the play each family member seems to symbolize a unique emotion or aspect, each integral to the family as a whole. The unity potentially created by working together could be great, however the dissension between the family only serves to further…

help you learn life lessons, and help prepare kids for life. To begin OYSL doesn't just help you with teamwork but keeping a healthy lifestyle. David Geiger in “ Give Children Variety and Time Off” says that “ As adults, we should want our kids to play sports. They not only exercise but also promote mental wellbeing and social development.” Jim Thompson says “ Competitive sports can enhance life well after childhood, from education to work to…

Though brief and comedic, Jean-Paul Sartre’s play “No Exit” offers insight into the basic ideas of his philosophy about freedom vs confinement. Sartre is able to portray the applicability of this philosophy to daily life though the commonplace setting of the work and the diversity of the basic character types found throughout the play. The main principles behind this one of Sartre’s philosophies are detailed through the three main characters, Cradeau Inez and Estelle, and their confinement to a…

by playwright Joe Dickinson. This play was honestly like nothing I’ve ever seen before. There were so many great elements to the show, the humor, audience interaction, props and just full of character to name a few. I had the pleasure of viewing this piece with several apparent regulars to the Pocket Sandwich Theatre off of East Mockingbird, Dallas Tx, on 10/15/15. Overall, this show was fantastic. It had the element of audience interaction that not many plays really have and if they do, no…

work as a homemaker. Mrs. Hale quickly comes to Minnie's defense when her housekeeping skills are questioned, saying, "'There's a great deal of work to be done on a farm'" (1326). The women display their loyalty to each other and their sympathy for one another, too. Mrs. Peters can identify with the loneliness and sadness of losing something you love. She understands "'what stillness is,'" and Mrs. Hale knows "'how things can be--for women . . . [they] all go through the same things--it's just a…

Adam was the younger child I observed; he was around 12-18 months old. He was a very active child and moved around the room very frequently, seeming like he lost focus really quickly while playing. Adam is developmentally he is right where he should be. With motor skills, he is walking and slightly running smoothly, he also has mastered skills like stacking object and can successfully remove his socks and shoes alone. From what I could see he didn’t communicate much verbally with others in the…

every person has characteristics that shape them into a specific person. No two people are the exact same. The shaping of every character is completely intentional in the play of Romeo and Juliet. There are several characters that shape the story into the greatest story about love. Four characters that are the structure to this play include Juliet, the Nurse, Friar Lawrence, and Romeo. Hundreds of characteristics on top of thousands more come to mold the life in the story. As the nurse who…

Child development is an amazing thing to watch in the way that children interact with one another and how they perceive the world that surrounds. While doing my research of child development we began to observe a set of sisters that happened to be my two nieces, one being 2, and the other being 4. I spent a weekend staying over at my sister’s house to spend time with them to conduct this project, and learned many things about their physical, cognitive, and social and emotion development. This…

This section starts off by telling the reader that she made the decision to color the ghost green instead of the “normal color”, white. This act created an uproar in the first grade classroom. The children demanded that she was doing it wrong and were, “hanging close to see what would happen” (Harjo, 49). She fired back at the other students and questions if they knew what a ghost looked…

Even worse than that was showing sportsmanship to the victor. But the more I played basketball, the more sportsmanship I started to show. Basketball has taught me a simple thing like how to be a good sport. Not only was basketball teaching me how to act after a game, but teaching me life lessons. I believe that life isn’t fair, and I soon learned that when the referees in the game were making horrible calls. It seemed that all the calls were never going our way and the referee never made the…
