An audience describes a first-time spectator at the hockey game in order to convince the readers that have never seen hockey for the first time. He incorporates tone shift, figurative language and parallel syntax to describe the first-time seeing hockey game live. The audience from the bench applies tone shift from confused to excited. At the beginning of the story, the audience saw the first-time spectator in the hockey game “to the innocent, who had never seen it before, it seemed discorded and inconsequent, bizarre and paradoxical like the frantic darting of the weightless bugs which run on the surface of stagnant …show more content…
As the game is to start, the first-time spectator did not know how the hockey game work. The audience the describe the player movement “a design almost beautiful as if an inspired choreographer had drilled a willing and patient and hardworking troupe of dancer” (17-20).

In “Its Time to Think About Visors,” Dryden exposes the fact that the stereotypes of risk in sport have pushed athletes to continue to compromise safety even with advancements in equipment worn. Dryden first explores this while talking about players from the minor leagues who have worn visors for all of their lives reaching the NHL and then stopping, stating, “Then most decide to play as they had never had before, with no facial protection at all.” This shows that even with athletes that have had this safety all of their lives they decide to stop when they reach the NHL because they see the stereotype created by the fans watching that push these players to risk their safety in order to bring a new excitement to the game. Even though the new rookies have been protected by visors the amount of influence of the huge fans of hockey pressure into danger that before they were safe from. In addition to this Dryden adds how there is appeal towards the dangers of life expressing, “People are attracted to risk. Near misses are thrilling.” This demonstrates that audiences don’t want to see players seriously injured but instead the close calls that come with sport and the smaller injuries that some equipment has gotten rid
As a youngster, Jessome played hockey with the stick on the local pond. “I was a goalie and I thought it was a goalie stick,” he said. “I played with it for years.”
Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but
The criticism relies on two assumptions. One, that rhetoric creates reality, and two, that convergence occurs. With regards to rhetoric creating reality we are to assume that the symbolic forms that are created from the rhetoric are not imitations but organs of reality. This is because it is through their agency that anything becomes real. We assume to that convergence occurs because symbols not only create reality for individuals but that individual’s meanings can combine to create a shared reality for participants. The shared reality then provides a basis for the community of participants to discuss their common experiences and to achieve a mutual understanding. The consequence of this is that the individuals develop the same attitudes and emotions to the personae of the drama. Within this criticism the audience is seen as the most critical part because the sharing of the message is seen as being so significant.
Artificial intelligence should not be continued. Artificial intelligence has many benefits to your society, humans and AI will eventually begin to replace people’s jobs, they have no emotions, and they will outsmart humans so we will not be able to control them.
The lights dim, as you cross your legs with anticipation of the show. You've had this ticket pre-ordered for two months! As the actors troop onstage to deliver the famed prologue to Henry V each passes your seat and you can see each miniscule detail. You notice the ruffle of cuff on the prince of France, you inhale the soft fragrance of the princess, you notice the gentle glint of reflected light bouncing of the false jewel embedded on Henry's crown. And when they stop in a loose semicircle, if you hadn't been taught better, you could have reached out and touched the hem of the actors cloak standing not four feet in front of you. As the show progresses the physical intimacy of the actors drags you deeper into the world of the play, so much so that when the curtain falls, you honestly feel that you were an integral piece of that world. What is so amazing is that almost anyone you meet can describe a moment like this. Whether it be a concert where they high fived the band member while being jostled by a hundred other crazy fans, or sitting in a dark, silent, planetarium and questioning your existence as virtual stars fly by at close proximity with amazing detail. When it comes to any performance, but even more specifically to Woyzeck by Georg Büchner, the power of proximity between audience and cast or set has a direct correlation on how audience members perceive and sympathize with a play.
When a speaker explains information to an audience, helping them understand it, then the speaker is practicing informational speaking. This rhetorical function is used to teach and inform. It is the speaker’s duty to be clear about what they are saying and on target. To not bore the audience, the speaker should make connections between the topic and the audience and discuss how it can be useful to them.
It seems to me that this final transformation in the audience is a very worthy goal to strive for in a production of this play. While being entertained by the magic and splendor of the production itself, I think it is possible for an audience to also be aware of the inherent ideals in the s...
Plays are a unique form of entertainment and literature, for they typically include scenes in which characters acknowledge and address the audience directly through various monologues and soliloquies. This adds an extra interactive layer of involvement where the audience can influence a character’s decisions. For instance, in Shakespeare’s Othello, the main character, a wily young man ironically dubbed “honest” Iago stops to tell the audience about his true intentions just as often as he tries to undermine other characters. Naturally, Iago would need some release from his deceitful planning. Therefore, the audience, by silently abiding through Iago’s speeches, must be his sidekicks – albeit unwillingly – the only people Iago trusts and feels

Studying a university degree is one of the biggest achievements of many individuals around the world. But, according to Mark Edmunson, a diploma in America does not mean necessarily studying and working hard. Getting a diploma in the United States implies managing with external factors that go in the opposite direction with the real purpose of education. The welcome speech that most of us listen to when we started college, is the initial prank used by the author to state the American education system is not converging in a well-shaped society. Relating events in a sarcastic way is the tone that the author uses to explain many of his arguments. Mark Edmunson uses emotional appeals to deliver an essay to the people that have attended College any time in their life or those who have been involved with the American education system.
Experiencing this form of theatre caused me to start thinking of theatre in a new light. I realized that theatre is not only about being entertained, but it can be a powerful tool to allow audience members to learn about different persp...

Any theatrical performance requires a two-fold exchange. The performers must act in such a way as to engage the audience and draw them into the story of the stage. However, the audience itself must yield to the imagination, allowing at times the irrational to take precedent over rational expectations. This exchange between performers and audience creates the dramatic experience; one cannot exist without the other.
There are many reasons it is important to actually attend live performances of plays as part of a course in dramatic literature. The script and text of the play is only the mean; the interpretation of the director and producer of a play through the acting, the stage, and all the mise-en-scene elements is the end. The live performance of a play brings the writing to life and is meant to incorporate all the senses of the audience. I learned how to pick apart all of these elements in viewing plays this semester and how to compare what my imagination created from reading the literature to how it was visualized and performed on stage. Being able to actually see all of the theatrical elements come together made the analysis realizable after visualizing all the aspects.
