A Close Analysis of Act Two Scenes Four and Five of Educating Rita In Act Two Scene Four, we see Rita coming in late to Frank's tutorial, which leads to a discussion about whether she should come or not at all. In the end of that scene, Frank gives her some poetry to criticise, the author of which turns out to be him. In Scene Five, when Rita bursts into his office unannounced, she tells him that she loves his poetry. This, however, due to Frank's sarcasm, leads to an argument that sees Rita storming out, which leads the audience to thinking that maybe their so called 'relationship' is over. In Scene Four, Frank tells Rita that he called the hairdressing shop, where she worked: '…When you were so late I phoned the shop…The hairdresser's shop. Where you work. Or should I say, worked…' and Rita replies that she now worked in a bistro. Frank then says: 'You didn't tell me.' And Rita replies 'Didn't I? I thought I did. I was telling someone.' This implies that she now tells other people things, whereas before she used to tell Frank everything. He points this out, and Rita seems surprised that Frank cares so much about where she works. This shows dramatic change in their relationship, compared to the beginning of the play when Frank seemed to be Rita's confidante. When discussion moves on to Rita's workplace, Frank makes a reference to a previous character talked about at their tutorials: Tyson. Prior to this scene, Rita talked about him in admiration; '…Tiger they call him, he's the mad one. His real name's Tyson but they call him Tiger…' (Act 2 Scene 2) to which Frank replies; '…Is there much point in working towards an examination if you're going to fall in love and set off for the South of…'.

“The minute our train leaves the Hong Kong border and enters Shenzhen, China, I feel different. I can feel the skin on my forehead tingling, my blood rushing through a new course, my bones aching with a familiar old pain. And I think, my mother was right. I am becoming Chinese. (179). In the story A Pair of Tickets by Amy Tan, the protagonist character, Jing-mei, finds herself in several difficult situations due to how her social and cultural upbringing has shaped her. She finds herself pulled between her Chinese DNA and her American background. While she was raised being told that she was Chinese and “it’s in her blood”, she does not identify as such, because she grew up in America and only sees herself as an American. After her mother’s passing,
The Addams Family’s set, costumes, and lighting all collaborate to create an amazing play that boasts both comedy and drama. There were many decorations and props that stood out to me, but immediately upon entering the lobby of the theater; I was able to view a scene that included a mounted buck and many other eerie decorations. Following the opening of the curtains and the beginning of the play I was able to see a large tree covered in neon green and purple paint on stage right and a cemetery scene with various tombstones in the middle of the stage. In addition to these props there was a large gray moon strategically placed directly above the cemetery. In the corner of stage left there was a large doorframe with a padlock holding it closed. After multiple scenes using this scenery the curtain was closed a for a short minute and when they were opened the backdrop was flipped and showed a mansion scene that included a small painted mantle with round hung portraits above it. The costumes that the characters wore during the play played a huge role in making The Addams Family great. For example, Morticia’s black long witch like dress along with Wednesday’s black dress with white rounded collars added to the gloomy nature of the play. Furthermore Gomez’s black pant suit, Fester’s black
The community described in The Giver has many similarities compared to ours. One of these similarities is having a government. The role of the government in both societies is to make decisions concerning rules or laws. Another similarity is the fact children have to attend school. The schools in the Giver also have announcements over the intercom. Children in The Giver have rules that they need to follow, just like we do. In the schools described in the book, if someone said a word wrong while they were being taught how to speak, they would get a smack. Although students do not have as harsh of a punishment as being smacked for pronouncing a work incorrectly in our schools, they are disciplined for breaking rules. The names are not the same,
The play Sisters, by Wendy Lill, is set in 20th century Nova Scotia at an Indian Residential School. The play focuses on a hopeful 17-year-old farm girl named Mary who was dating Louis at the time. Along with the present Mary who is currently in interrogation with, the duty counsel, Stein. She has been accused of torching down the Residential School, the place where she worked for fifteen years. There are various factors contributing to the impulsive reasoning behind Sister Mary’s act of burning down the Residential School such as, the actual truth to why she committed the sin, the contrast relationships with others that reflected upon her actions, and the overall punishment she should receive.
A particular section of Act 5, Scene 1, could be seen as the denouement of the play, Much Ado About Nothing. Perhaps it is more accurate to say the climax of the denouements - at its conclusion, all that remains for the play is a happy ending. It is here that the perpetrator is displayed before all the interested male parties, and here that Leonato can be assured that his belief in Hero's innocence was justified - and perhaps more importantly, that it can be seen to be justified: armed with Borachio's confession, and Claudio and Don Pedro's half-acceptance of guilt, he tells them to 'Possess the people in Messina here How innocent she died' (l. 282-283). This continues the play's concern with appearances and reality, the nature of truth and evidence: it seems that the revelation of the deception instigated by Don John, despite being accepted by all the relevant parties, doesn't count unless it is displayed publicly - even performed, for Claudio is told to ...
In the beginning of the play, Rita is introduced as a talkative woman who is very capable of expressing her thoughts in a straightforward fashion. Based on Rita’s casual dialect and her lack of discipline, it is clear that she has had limited education prior to this encounter. On the contrary, Frank is a “bona fide lecturer” who is knowledgeable in his field of study. (4) Ironically, Frank is very dissatisfied with his occupation, and the same negligent attitude can be found in Rita’s personality. (16) Their relationship flourishes immediately because of this similarity, establishing a welcoming environment for Rita. The office becomes Rita’s sanctuary as she slowly reveals her lack of confidence. Rita expresses her disbelief when she received her acceptance notice. In Rita’s mind, Open University must be an inferior college and they must have lacked applications this year. (4) For Rita, if it were any other tutor, she would have “packed in” and left. (9) Frank is the reaso...
Macbeth was written by William Shakespeare. It is considered one of his darkest and most powerful tragedies.The Play takes place in Scotland, And the basics of the play is that people should be carful not to let power consume them because it can have terrifying consequences. A good example of this would be Wes Craven’s Wish-master where one man’s lust for power and wealth would lead him to his demise at the hands of the powerful Djinn.
Michael Hoffman directed William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and it is an enchanting new version of Shakespeare's most magical comedy. It has dangerous potions, fairies and strange romances. It is a tale of a wondrous single night in which wicked spirits turn the world of love on its head. First I have to make it clear that I have never really thought much of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I have always considered it fairly frivolous and not too important in William Shakespeare's career. I really do not know why, it just is what it is.
1. A trifle is something of little value. The title, "Trifles," refers to the seemingly small, unimportant details that women focus on both in solving the murder case, and in regular life. These small, domestic details focused on by Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, and overlooked by the men in the story, are the evidence that the men are searching for. Because the men see these trifles as insignificant, and only for women, they never get the evidence they wanted. The women did not only look at the obvious aspects of the murder, like the men. Because the women were more intuitive and sensitive to Minnie Wright's life (or lack of), they were able to solve the murder with the trifles, which were actually extremely valuable. The men and women were exposed to the same clues, however the men were too blinded by the "role of a man" and disregard for the important role of a woman to realize the significance of the clues (trifles). The first clue was fruit preserves that were broken because of the cold. These preserves symbolized Minnie; surrounded by the coldness of her husband, she shattered. Th...

Since this is a review and its based on my opinion, I would have to say this was one of the worst plays I've ever seen in my life. I wasn't entertained by the play at all. The only good parts were the good-looking girls in the play. I like the main character Marisol based only on her looks. She played on ok job of acting. I realize she had a lot of lines to memorize which she had down, but she just didn't get to me. I think the costumes were ok. They had nothing special, or out of the ordinary except for the angel's wings, which were pretty nice. I didn't like the lighting or the scenery. I didn't know where the scene was supposed to be at some points.
After reading the play Trifles, I have several assertions. Mrs. Wright felt controlled by Mr. Wright, so she killed him. Mrs. Wright felt trapped by Mr. Wright. Mr Wright’s killing of her bird is what caused her to kill him.
Both passages have great reasons for both free time to engage in imaginative and creative play, but also how important to ensure that children participate i organized activities. I would say helping children play creatively is important especially in a young age. Creative play teaches them how to express themselves, to think on their own and to open up their minds in their own way.
