    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.

Then ends up discovering it was the nerd guys she’s been rejecting all year, which also happens to be Sandys cousin from Grease one. Wasn’t really much to the movie other than corny romance movie.

Hansberry illustrates the constant discrimination that colored people, as a whole, endured in communities across the nation.

With the family living in extreme poverty, their family bond is crucial in order to withstand the repression. Hansberry effectively portrays the racism within society, and how it reinforced unity amongst the family members.

  • Cheaper By The Dozen Character Analysis

    Piaget believed that a child’s development is neither intrinsic (learning based on interest) or extrinsic (learning from an outside force, such as a parent). He believed that a child develops based on his or hers interactions in the environment (Mooney 2000). Piaget created four stages of cognitive development, some of which can be seen in the film “Cheaper by the Dozen”. A few examples of characters that display Piaget’s theory are the twins, who are in the preoperational stage and lack the concept of conservatism, and the mastermind, who is in the concrete operational stage and show's the concept of decentralism. These characters will have Piaget’s theory applied to them in the following paragraphs.

  • Catch Me If You Can By La Joya Middle School Theatre

    Much work goes into musical , as was the case in “Catch Me If You Can”,which La Joya Middle School drama had the pleasure of watching on January 15, put on by El Diamante High School. The musical was directed by John Sorber and Michael Tackett. This amazing production included many talented actors such as Maverik Dakota Raven starring as Frank Abagnale Jr., Kiley Hoffman playing Brenda Strong, and Jonathan Johns as Carl Hanratty. This incredible play carried a strong lesson. As was seen the protagonist ran from his problems and pretended to be someone who he wasn't. The plot of this story showed us that we can't run from our problems, for that only worsens the situation and is a snowball for our problems.

  • Gender And Gender Roles In A & P, By John Updike

    1307 Words  | 3 Pages

    By them going against their gender roles and being inappropriately dressed in A & P, they also create the possibility for tragedy to occur. The manager of A & P, Lengel, an old Sunday school teacher embodies what is expected to be the male gender role of that time when he publically chastises the girls for being dressed in that manner in the store. Despite the girls’ attempts to justify their actions of being dressed in this manner by saying that they only came in to buy one thing, Lengel maintains his masculine gender role of keeping women in line. Lengel states quite matter-of-factly, “We want you decently dressed when you come in here.” (Updike 234). It is at this moment that Queenie pushes the envelope even further in going against her gender roles, by answering back Lengel. Queenie’s response of “We are decent,” (Updike 234) shows her somewhat rebellious and disrespectful nature, and her disregard for Lengel’s patriarchal authority. She instead would have been expected in this scenario to possibly apologize to Lengel and leave the store with her friends since he was not only male but senior to her thus demanding her

  • Analysis Of The Movie Jack And Jill

    In addition, the intended audience is identical twins and can also be related to brother and sister siblings. Furthermore, there are two types of humor that are portrayed throughout the film, Slapstick and sophomoric humor. Moreover, the plot of the movie was not bad; however, the cheap jokes and themes portrayed such as the role of female character being offended and dishonored, various stereotypes were seen throughout the film, and inequality to gender role made the film more offensive and distasteful instead of humorous and fun. This being said, Jack and Jill is a film not worth time or money and I would not recommend

  • An Imagined Modern-Day Setting for "The Importance of Being Earnest"

    As I have set the play in the 21st century, I would dress Cecily, another one of the four main characters, in a flowery pink dress. I have chosen the colour pink as it is a calm, pastel colour and shows Cecily's girly, childish innocence; also as we know Cecily is meant to be very pretty, the whole notion of being `pretty in pink' emphasizes on her beauty. The flowers on the dress represent the fact that she lives in the country but it is also another feminine factor. The style of the dress would be quite fashionable and casual yet at the same time elegant. I would give her a pink designer handbag in order to show that she is rich and posh. She would wear pink dolly shoes again symbolize her youth and innocence. If I were choosing an actress to play the part of Cecily, I would choose someone fair skinned with blonde hair and quite flat chested to show the innocence and purity of Cecily.

  • Sex In The City Movie Analysis

    Perhaps it’s said best by Roger Ebert when he wrote that “the characters of Sex and the City Two are flyweight bubbleheads living in the world which rarely requires three sentences in a row.” (Sun Times). For the Sex in the City series each lady is featured with her own story line, main character Carrie always has the main plot. The same was true in this movie. Carrie’s plot happens to be the same plot many are living out in their daily lives, a marriage that has gotten stuck in a “rut”. One would hope that after some two years of marriage, living in the city that never sleeps, having no kids and what seems like an endless supply of money that this wouldn’t happen. The remaining plot lines are for the three
