The glass Menagerie The Glass Menagerie is a play written by Tennessee Williams. Not only is this a play but also a book. Tennessee said he had known the four actors for a long time and that he never thought he would see them before his own eyes on stage. The play is based on a Caucasian family that is trying to please one another. In the play a lot of emotions and life problems are taking place with each character. The mom plays a big part of the events that are happening. The son is the…

gain balance. The cold night air surrounded me, numbing my fingers as they pressed against my burning forehead. My blurry eyes could barely make out the shapes before me, but I could see a figure standing merely feet away, drinking the blood of a—unicorn? As I tried to concentrate on the dying being, something leapt over me unexpectedly. I— “Megan, time for dinner!” I heard from outside of my bedroom. “One more minute!” I called, desperate to read just one more line, just one more chapter. I…

ZZ packer’s short story “Brownies” is a of a type genre I do not particularly gravitate to when looking to read something. However, I am glad I had the opportunity to do so. In her writ-ing Ms. Packer touches on an ugly truth in society. Namely racial intolerance, indifference and misunderstanding through ignorance and through conflict. Capably she explores the issue through the experience of a summer camp outing for two Girl Scout troops of elementary school aged girls, one African American and…

withheld my giggle as I pulled each piece out of his hair. I can’t believe we couldn’t even make it to episode five before we zonked out. I still can’t believe my dream either. Jasper was a hero, Game of Thrones style. But it was really weird, with unicorns, deadly clowns, and in the setting of Wonderland. WAIT ONE MINUTE! That is perfect! Nobody has ever written a story like…

The Glass Menagerie One of the many aspects of The Glass Menagerie that fascinates readers, is that it relies so heavily on memory while exaggerating the emotional value of events that take plays throughout the play itself. The word ‘nonrealistic’ is repeated several times in its stage directions solely to highlight the fact that it isn’t supposed to be depicted as actual reality. A character that represents the fantasy element of the play is Amanda, who is arguably the antagonist of the play…

and, for him, the soldier represents an ideal that is worthy of praise because of their sacrifice for serving the country. Bronies, as Schlicter sees them, represent a weakening culture that retreats into fantasy worlds replete with rainbows and unicorns. The failure on Schlicter’s part is how he cannot see how the two communities could intersect as one sailor illustrates how one aspect of a service member’s life does not encompass everything about them. He…

When she was young, my cousin honestly believed that everything that glittered was gold. Regardless, my aunt relentlessly told her that the “stuffed unicorn,” or that “new dress” would never keep her satisfied whereas “friends and family” would accomplish that and more. Like my aunt’s words of wisdom, several characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s celebrated work The Great Gatsby focus too greatly on things, taking their attention away from the real pleasures in life that is people. A character…

Despite the temporal and contextual disparities between Mary Shelley’s Gothic novel Frankenstein (1818) and Ridley Scott’s science fiction film Blade Runner (1982), both didactic texts analyse man’s hubristic pursuit of knowledge and power at the expense of humanity. The catastrophic outcome of usurping the natural order underscores the composers’ emphasis on retribution as the means to create equilibrium in an unnatural world. Shelley scrutinises the morally chaotic pursuits of the…
