do Angels in America because I had heard of it before, and as I was searching through the Tony Award’s for the Best Play’s, looking for something impressive to perform, I saw a familiar name and decided I would give it a go. Originally I wanted to do a piece by Prior, but as I read the play I liked the idea of trying out Roy’s character more, so I changed it. My goal was to capture what I imagine was Tony Kushner’s idea of the character and portray him correctly, and also to determine whether I…

This poem has a type of association with a specific kind of connection or filter, since the word sieve infers partition by a screen, like a colander. Dickerson's choice to use the word leaden can be strange, since lead makes one associate it with rust and rot, while giving a heavy and overwhelming feel to the title; a heavy sifter may be an allegory for a broken channel. The title can be seen as something that filters something cold and obscure. The following is the paraphrasing of the poem: It…

approach that forces the reader to think critically about a topic as it questions everything about our culture, values, and various forms of art. One contemporary piece that especially intrigued me while studying this period was “America” written by Tony Hoagland due to the simple yet powerful questions that it raises about American life.

John Banville once said, “I don 't know if there is a personal identity. We all imagine that we are absolute individuals. But when we begin to look for where this individuality resides, it 's very difficult to find.” When Tony Kushner wrote Angels in America in 1992, homosexuals were still trying to find their position in society. Since homosexuals were still trying to find their positions in society, many of them were still trying to find who they were as a person. Angels in America is the play…

and found that they barely even knew themselves. Claire and Tony were sinking fast arguing constantly and building walls to avoid one another. Claire thought each day that more years spent like this would only pile up and add more weight until they would reach the bottom. What was their breaking point? Who was at fault?

Overall, the mood remains the same and the poem maintains a grieving mood, and vivid imagery. The poem alludes to real life…

However, whereas the script lets the reader envision how the setting should be shown, the live broadcast showcases the emotions in a way that words alone could…
