The Sandbox: An Analytical Research Essay The absurdity of the characters in Mr. Albee’s “The Sandbox” is necessarily apparent from the beginning of the play. The play’s length of less than 15 minutes is sufficient to ascertain that the audience need not be further abused by the presence of these caricatures of characters. The playwright captured the essence of Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma in such an efficient fashion that there can be no doubt he had rehearsed the play in his mind for some time before
long, concrete ramp to the short, beige slide. A row of swings includes two blue chair swings equipped with seatbelts. The ground around all the equipment is squishy and blue. Misters are casually disguised as yellow umbrellas on the hill, and the sandbox is equipped with a water spout for some dirty fun. The blue merry-go-round is not an ordinary merry-go-round but rather a two-level jungle gym with space for children to climb inside and spin around. The park seems small, but even on a busy day,
Think back. I mean way, way back to when you were a child, maybe five or six, sitting in a playground sandbox, looking at the ground. You feel the warm summer air around you.

In many situations, people aren't treated with respect and dignity. In Sunday in the Park by Bel Kaufman, the wife, Morton, and their son Larry are disrespected by the big man and his son Joe. In Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, the main character Charlie is treated poorly by everybody around him because he is not of the same intellect as they are, and he doesn't know it when they are toying with him or making fun of him. Both authors use mood and inner thinking to indicate that just because

In 1989, Wright and Braun made an agreement with Broderbund to co-publish SimCity, but the game did not take off until after a couple months and because of the word-of-mouth praise, which included a full-page article by Time magazine (Keighley, n.d.).

Seeing my friends again was exciting, but what was more important was scanning the playground for what I could play with during midday recess before lunch time rolls around. This time, everything was game. The swingset, the sandbox, basketball hoops, monkey bars, and slides were all available to us now and we had to make the best of it even though we still had 5 years ahead of us. 11:30 rolls around and the whole class of 26 first grades stampede out of the classroom door,
