Wonder

The play Wonder of the World by David Lindsay-Abaire was hosted in the Knox Performing Art theatre. Initially after reading the play itself, I found the play somewhat interesting with few moments of having me at disbelief because of how straightforward some of the scenes can be. But after watching the play at the theatre, I’ve been left with a more bitterness than happiness of how the play was portrayed. But I will explain that later in my review of this mediocre play. I entered the theatre…

“WHY ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH THAT...THAT FREAK”!!!, Julian says to Jack right before he socks him right in the mouth. In the story “wonder” by, “RJ Palacio” Jack Will stands up for Auggy, a boy with a deformed face and they soon become best friends. Jack and Auggie's relationship was on and off throughout the book. In the beginning of the book jack and auggy became best friends. Towards the middle Jack said bad things about Auggy which made them X-friends. At the end Auggie and Jack became good…

way (and even weigh a certain amount) then they will be accepted. So, they spend more of their time trying to conform and less time trying to find their sense of self. This topic takes me back to the Hindu story that Gurian shared with us in The Wonder of Girls (pg. 66, here is the story just in case you haven’t read it yet). He explained that a young girl who carried the moon on her forehead, was able to keep people happy (if the moon is happy). One night the…

crimes they did not commit. The people of Massachusetts would be held accountable for crimes they did not commit and end up paying with their life. People like Cotton Mathers had something to say about these unjustifiable killings. In Mather’s “The Wonders of the Invisible World” talks about the religion during this time and their lack of knowledge about “witches” In the 17th century a major thing anywhere in America was religion. If a person was…

society, however only George Robinson seemed to be able to achieve such an inconceivable feat, but not for long. Spencer Robinson was still in awe. He looked around him, a mansion was the least you could say to describe this house he lived in. The 12th Wonder Of The World, seeming to be a more fitting description. It’s beauty was indescribably wonderful; polished, shining floors which are mirror-like, a ceiling which could reach the heights of any mountain, an exquisite choice of…

The art of product designing needs the skill of designing a product (just from a concept) that is beneficial to the inventor as well as the intended consumers. Product design is certainly not an easy task. It requires many skills as well as computer knowledge and, most importantly, creativity. Not everyone is skilled enough with the aesthetics – right? Besides, you also have to be knowledgeable about different software applications, especially CAD (computer-aided design), CAM (computer-aided…

Julian and Quarta are very different. In the story Wonder, by RJ Palacio Julian the cool and popular kid is a big bully to a kid with a disability. On the other hand Quarta from The Girl Who Was Born With Only Two Arms And Two Legs is the kid that is getting bullied because she has only two arms and two legs. Even though Julian and Quarta are alike in a way, they are even more different because on how they look, act, and their social life. The first way there different is on how they look. They…

truly is a bummer because it is considered the most important piece of missing art. Not much is known about Pissarro, “The Boulevard Montmartre, Twilight” except it was looted by the Nazis and its current location is an enigma. Dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World”, the Amber Room was looted by Nazis in WWII, taken to the city of Königsberg, and cannot be found since. Stolen by Japanese forces during WWII, Yamashita’s Gold was on a Japanese ship when it was sunk in combat. Vincent van Gogh,…

Cuba, a place of beauty and wonders, is also home to people of different ethnic and national backgrounds. It is a complicated mixture of different factors and influences that often contradict each other. Their customs are based mainly in the European culture with African and American influences. A land full of music, fishing, and all around beaches. A vacation away from home. A land many hope to one-day visit. In the Cuban culture, affection is demonstrated by touch. It is not considered a…

including temples for Zeus and for Hera. In the center of Olympia, they had a large altar which was used for the sacrifices during the games. There was a large stone statue of the Greek god Zeus that was considered to be one of the famous “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.” There were also twelve treasuries in Olympia that were built in the archaic period. Many myths surrounding the Olympic Games include the story of Idaios Daktylos Herakles. Herakles was believed to be the son of Zeus and…
