The Drama Club

1. I surveyed two people. One of them is my friend named Tao Chen who is a member in the university’s drama club and the other is my uncle who is the manager of the financial department of a company. There are some differences between their groups. The drama club is more of a social group than a secondary group. It is formed for people who love drama and acting to enjoy the activities. The financial department is a secondary group that is formed to accomplish a specific task or goal and it is formed to deal with financial issues in the company. For example, the drama club is relatively informal compared to the financial department. There are more and stricter norms in the financial department than in the dram club. For example, Tao said that…

I want to run for drama club treasurer because this past year, I have experienced a lot of great things as a part of this club and I would like that feeling to continue. Being a freshman can be terrifying and I feel as if being a part of this club calmed many of my fears. As a drama club officer, I would make sure that everyone feels welcome and comfortable and that everyone feels like they always have a friend to talk to. I think I am fit for this role because I am a very responsible person. I…

When I went to see the international spelling bee I expected what you would of some run down high school version of a play. At my school we didn’t really have a vast drama club so my expectations were sort of low for this piece. It was kind of like when you go to attend a film in theatres you see all of these commercials and then attend the movie to just rewatch the key parts that they already presented to you in the commercial. One does not have this with live theatre I did not know what to…

Gossip Girl (CW, 2007-2012) is a drama television series about a group of fictional wealthy teenagers living on the Upper East Side in New York City. It is based off of a book series by Cecily Von Ziegesar. Though the characters all attend the same prep school, the show mostly focuses on what they do in their non-academic lives. The drama portrayed in this series is more extreme than other comparable teen drama shows, such as The O.C or 90210. This is due to the controversial topics that are…

Before registering for this course I didn’t think anything about children’s theater. Growing up I was always into sports, I tried every type of sport imaginable. In my town, people were separated by those who played sports and those who were in drama. You would never find someone who did both. So the impact drama can have on a child never even grossed my mind. Now after going to college away from home, and taking this course my opinion on theater has changed greatly. I now believe that adding…

of post modern times. They talk about existential crisis in their dramas. In fact, both Beckett and Pinter are associated with absurd movement. The absurd movement describes the meaninglessness and uncertainty of human life. This movement was influenced by existential philosophy of Sartre, Camus and Heidegger. Martin Asslin’s book The Theatre of Absurd is an authentic discussion on the theme of absurdism as presented by post modern dramatists like Beckett, Pinter, Genet, Ionesco, etc. It seems…

According to Bettina Bradbury in her book, Working Families: Age, Gender, and Daily Survival in Industrialization, “The need for wages to survive dominated the daily lives of the men, women, and children who made up the expanding working-class in parts of Montreal” (35). In a culture that was quick to dismiss the plight of the proletariat, Les Belles-sœurs explored and…
