Play from scrimmage

wouldn 't let us go on the grass. This however, couldn 't have made John happier. On the playground he was King of Camelot and everyone else were his subjects, while his legion of other “cool” kids were his Knights of the Round. With less space to play games of our own, we were then drawn into the games of the King and his…

Philadelphia Story was a play put on by the theater department at the University of North Texas, performed in a proscenium. This worked well because of the big stage you could have a big set, which in this play, was amazing. The play starts with the main character Tracy writing thankyou notes for the gifts she has received for her upcoming wedding, which happens to be the following day. After being introduced to all the characters you learn that this isn’t Tracy’s first wedding, but she use to…

with coordinating elements that go hand in hand. The way that Ibsen has created this message and theme is extraordinary, and never been done before, displaying the break away from sexism presented in this play. The issue brought to light in this play correlates with modern day problems with gender roles and sexism. In the play A Doll’s house, Henrik Ibsen presents how breaking gender roles can lead to a liberating lifestyle, Ibsen conveys this using a distinct use of symbolism, character…

I never expected something bad to happen that day. It was my parents anniversary night, May 11th, 2017, and of course, I had a softball game. We knew that the opposing team was better than us, but we still played hard, until the accident, that is when everything fell apart. My parents anniversary night was on one of my last home games of the season, but not the teams. Our game was at the Hyatt Elementary softball/baseball fields. The team, coaches, and parents knew that we were going to…

I’ve recently been able to read and analyze the script of the play of “Reasons to be Pretty” by Neil LaBute. LaBute has always had a preoccupation with the theme of beauty and aesthetic in our culture. His main focus is showing everything ugly about human nature and being. Neil is most known for his outspoken characters and shocking plotlines, making our job as the reader fairly entertaining. Neil’s play, “Reasons to be pretty”, demonstrates how society and the people that roam in it are…

an online game that I created for the World Bank Institute, undertook real-world missions to improve food security, increase access to clean energy and end poverty in more than 130 countries” (para. 13). These facts support the idea that people who play video games can help change the world. McGonigal keeps supporting her argument with many more statistics, for instance, “in 2010 more than 57,000 gamers were listed as co-authors for a research paper in the prestigious scientific journal Nature.…

My mom sitting next to me grasping my hand tightly. Patient after patient were run into the ER on stretchers, from ambulances. Amelia had fallen asleep. Tired I tried doing the same. As I drifted off I began to have a dream of Amelia and I when we were younger in the little league all star game. I woke up in a panic after Amelia had done what she did yesterday…

relevant to the topic. He created a slideshow of pictures that captured the emotions of every moment that he covered throughout the speech. All of the pictures had a part in telling the story of the journey of this basketball team. Josh used pictures from the games, practices, hotels, bars, and the classrooms. To the naked eye a lot of the pictures would not have much meaning, but the speaker made sure to explain each one and how they played a part in the story he was trying to tell. The most…

the weakest part about our performance because of the inherent challenges of speaking Early Modern English. Even so, I believe the preparations we made beforehand about tone, blocking, props and disguises carried us through to a well performed scene from Shakespeare's The Taming of the…

Miller Quotes”). This interesting 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.
