Since its introduction to the public in 1921, Six Characters in Search of an Author has been inspiring theatre artists towards the absurd realm of the metatheatrical. Both absurd theatre and the idea of something being metatheatrical in fact have strong roots in Six Characters in Search of an Author, as it was so ahead of its time in terms of realism and naturalism on stage. In the vein of the original production, subsequent productions of the piece have strived for the same shock value the…

Ten years ago, the city of Chicago, Illinois, made a bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Although they came close to victory, the International Olympic Commission (IOC) awarded the hosting rights to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, while Chicago was knocked out in the first round of voting (“Rio to host 2016 Olympics,” 2009).

Hidden within the text of each fairy tales were attitudes toward society. This included religion, which was a fundamental aspect of German culture. The Catholic Church gained power through their large membership throughout Germany and Europe. It became so powerful that the Catholic clergy were wealthy and corrupt. Eventually,…

eight o'clock when we got here. I guess time really does fly by when you're working hard. I changed into my swimsuit and headed over to the dock. I found some oars in the small shed and loosened the rope tying the boat to the dock, and then got to rowing the boat out to middle of the lake. I threw in the rock and rope that we use as an anchor. And it sank, and sank, and sank and kept sinking, and it was almost at the forty foot marker when it finally stopped. And I screamed "Oh my God! Thirty…

Please note that while the cover is simplistic, it is intended to be as such. The novel contains a multitude of vintage photographs which are both creepy and shrouded in mystery.

This is reflective of the fact that all of the main characters in the novel Hollow City by Ransom Riggs are children or teenagers, an…

He was granted this sentence in lieu of death due to a convincing case made at the…

rain or the sun. We would go outside and play a couple games if it was nice out. Moving on, besides Conflict Res. we had the four main courses. Throughout that year we did so much stuff it was insanity. We build a boat with Compass Project, we went rowing with our boat out to an island and explored an old war fort in Portland, we went to Village Elementary School and helped 1st graders in class, and we took a few hiking trips. I know there has to be more I just can’t remember it all. I think we…
