The stories that we read in class shared both numerous similarities and differences with the plays that we saw at ISU. Personally I feel that the two had more contrasting components. But the plays certainly gave the audience a clear idea of what play they were acting out, what they were doing, and why each little piece of the play was important.

The paper was to write about the motifs within the book and explain them and the paper had to be two pages long. This paper to me back…

free will than ourselves. The specific situations of the road is the second level of irony. The thing is, irony does not work for everyone, and not everyone understand irony. “Irony trumps everything” (Foster 244). In a short story called The Monkey’s Paw by W.W. Jacobs contains irony. Before Mr. White makes wishes, he states everything he wants. Instead of the wishes bring good luck, the wishes has devastating endings.
