the first line in Langston Hughes’s “Harlem,” a very interesting social commentary on Harlem in the early 1950’s.

A lot of people across America have different hobbies they like to do. Mine is running. But, running you may ask, I just do it for no particular reason. I run because I know that it is good for the body, and I find it fun. Running is a self motivator that does not consist for you to depend on anyone for it. The most that I have trained for an event is a running distance of 3.1 miles or 5 kilometers, which is also known as a 5K. Many runners have different ways to train for a race but mine is just
During the run of She Kills Monsters from February 11-21, I was lucky enough to see this amazing show multiple times; once on opening night, a second time on the Friday after their dark days, and a third time for the show’s closing matinee performance. Each run was so different from the one I’d seen before, and a big factor of this was in the actors’ voices. On opening night, all of the actors had great articulation. I was able to clearly hear each of them during any scene if they were projecting
shivering and raw, I stumbled to my feet, dazed and confused, with no idea of where I was. The skeletal trees were grasping at the pallid sky and as I stood in the midst of this empty hell-hole a sudden burst of realisation hit me that I was on the run. Running from the demons who took my innocence, but deep down, I knew they would find me. I shook of the pessimistic thoughts and pulled myself together the best I could. If these monsters wanted me, they will have to kill me first. I knew what I

This book is about Luke Reid, which is fifteen years old, who had been under arrest for theft more times than he can remember. His talent of picking

of my car and survey the parking lot. Not too many cars. That's the way I like it. I take a deep breath and savor the frsh air. Already, I can feel the pressure of deadlines lifted off my chest. I strap my skis on, and prepare not just to tackle a run but other situations in my life as well. I skate over to the first pitch of the double diamond slope, and map out where I will take the first couple turns. It is almost like I am assessing my goals in life: getting accepted into Syracuse, owning a house

Distinctive images are harnessed by the playwright and director by using significant symbolic
