    The production of Honky is a satirical comedy, following the lives of five people and the language of racism. While it focuses on the plot of 5 characters, the storyline was well thought out and intriguing. One actor in specific, Gerard Joseph, who played Thomas, did an exceptionally well job at conveying emotion and projecting to the audience, in my opinion. The overall directing, from the actors to the soundtrack and lightning, seem to be presented with excellent detail. Overall, this production was well done.

    Mark Twain best described courage when he said that, “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear” (Twain). Both in The One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey and Watership Down by Richard Adams, the authors deal with the topic of courage and each share a similar view on it as this quote. Indeed, both authors suggest that courage is not accumulated simply by acts of heroism, but rather by overcoming fears and speaking one’s mind as well. These books are very similar in the way that bravery is displayed through the characters in an uncommon way. Firstly, an example of bravery

  • Womanhood and Coming of Age in Madeleine L. Engle´s A Wrinkle in Time

    991 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Madeleine L’Engle first published A Wrinkle in Time in 1962, women’s place in society differed greatly than what L’Engle portrays in her novel. L’Engle broke barriers of the time with her portrayal of women in A Wrinkle in Time. The novel is infused with the themes of womanhood and coming of age. To be more specific, it is a novel which is thoroughly blended with the strengths of womanhood and with the concept that how women in a society can bring forth specific positive changes. The protagonist, Meg Murry, is a gifted adolescent who constantly harps on being different from other children. Her mother, Mrs. Murry, defines empowerment in women. Mrs. Murry is a phenomenal mother, devoted wife, and genius chemist. During the 1960s it was unheard of for women to be in a science career or many career fields that were limited to only men. The novel also follows Meg Murry’s literal and personal journey as she begins as a confused young woman who eventually accepts her individuality and begins to show the same extraordinary womanhood as her mother, Mrs. Murry. Meg blossoms into her own identity and accepts her uniqueness as she journeys to the planet of Camazotz to rescue her father. A Wrinkle in Time broke barriers for its time through its empowerment of women and as a coming of age novel and provides evidence of this through the protagonist characters of Meg and Mrs. Murry.

After being introduced to three mysterious women known as the Miss W’s, Meg is joined by her classmate Calvin O’keefe and her younger brother Charles Wallace embark on a journey to Camazotz to find her father.
