    Tragedies or Lessons Learned? Tragedies occur throughout many lives, but only the major ones stand out to the world. A tragedy is usually considered a despair, but in my seventeen years of living, I have discovered a tragedy is only a tragedy if allowed. I think of tragedies as lessons learned, not because they are not difficult, but because they teach me and have made me who I am. The world wide events that have molded me into the person I am today are Hurricane Katrina, by making me more…

    The Seagull displayed breath-taking stories that gripped my attention from start to finish. The cast and the crew arranged the play in a stunning manner which imitated Russian Soap Operas and Realism. Throughout the book, the Northview Theater Company portrays the theme of “life is cruel” by showing symbols and acting. A symbol that the play consisted of is the seagull itself. Generally, the seagull represents living life with no boundaries. In contrast, Chekhov used the seagull in the play to…

It’s not like they have a clown car where 100 actors can hop in and perform all at the same time. It just costs too much money. But, in books, you can have a million characters…

He was one of three survivors out of nine children born to a Levantine Greek mother and a wealthy ship fitter father. His parents were first cousins. Such a successive mortality rate may have been in part due to congenital problems that played a major role in his illnesses.
