Her house was damp, dim, and dowdy, located in the middle of a field, unfinished. Upon entering school, Elaine’s childhood seems inadequate, for her peers inhabit these luxurious homes with seemingly endless possessions, initiating depression in Elaine’s life. Elaine soon deems herself unworthy of such a lavish life, for her father does not retain such a lofty position at is place of work-- why would she deserve such things? Additionally, as a young girl Elaine only had one friend, Carol, which prompted her into thinking about how her only friend is invincible, while she has to sleep on a cot at home. Soon enough, she meets her other two childhood friends, Grace and Cordelia, and they too populate these so-called mansions, playing with hundreds of toys and dolls, only to return home to an estranged setting. In comparison to her friends, her life is superficially worse, which digs at Elaine’s mental

The parlor is described as “sparsely furnished… a lack of warmth and vigor” showing that the family doesn’t care about material belongings such as expensive furnishings and accessories (Wilson 1). The setting reflects the values and attitudes of the characters. The setting notes place the Piano at the heart and vocal point of the room. The grand piano dominates most of the decoration because it holds the most value to Doaker and Berniece. The piano’s legs are covered with mask-like figures, artfully carved in the manner of African sculpture. The stair case that leads upstairs gives Berniece and her daughter Maretha a separate place to live while her brother and his friends crowd the kitchen and living room. The small house is perfect for these 3 people but things start to get interesting when their family and friends jump in

In the opening of the play, analyzing the exposition consist of a rundown shotgun one way in and one way out the house. The door and panel around the windows are as antique as the exterior of the house. The walls hold the bare minimum and are plain. The furniture, consist of several tables and chairs that are pushed up around the tables. Then they have this dirty, undesirable calendar hung on the wall with a worn due to wear and tear piano in the corner against the wall. The lighting is poor because the scenery set to a kerosene lamp that reflects and clashes up and down these walls. In the rising action the characters are briefly introduced, for example, there is Nunkie, Too-Sweet, Peckerwood, Black Baby, Sack Daddy, Tush Hawg, and Aunt Dilsey and each of them lived all had unique roles. In the first passage, the author

The physical world of the play looks old and simplistic. The Prozorov household looks grandiose but empty, the interior furniture and wallpaper are simple and quaint. The emptiness of the house reflected the three sister 's yearning for their return to Moscow. Most of the furniture seen around the house, such as chairs and tables, are made out of wood. A simple white laced tablecloth was placed over the rectangular dinner table. Silverwares and cups were neatly placed in front of each chairs as guests filed in the living room one by one. When guests entered the room, they are greeted with candles from the chandelier as lunch was being prepared. The smell of

The challenges to match sockets to fully light the tree, searching through numerous tubs to find the decoration needed for the dinner table, debating on where to place the ancient Twas the Night Before Christmas novel, but nothing beats the satisfying feeling when seeing the house dressed in its holiday best. A mixture of spices, pine, and sweets devour the air along with the spirit of St. Nicolas.

At Canterbury, I soon observed it was simply another school, not unlike my infant kindergarten. I believe that is the Teutonic name for such infant nurseries. My vision of grandeur was accurate in imagining the enormity of it's halls, but that was in architecture, in human experience it was more like a gaol. On entering it's library I resembled one who sees the ocean for the very first time, my heart rose in my breast. When not at my studies, or chumming with the other boys, this bibliotheca became my home for two years. If my writing merits any worth, it is not from what I was tutored, but from what I have

In her doll house where [a fire burns in the stove] Nora can see “it is winter” outside from her small window frame, which is her only way of seeing the outside world. (Ibsen 3) Ibsen uses contrasting imagery with fire representing a comfortable life, and winter symbolizing the world’s harsh reality. However, Nora does not realize the severity of winter and only appreciates it as a pretty season glimpsed upon through a small window frame. The difference between her childlike view of the world and its reality shows that Nora’s perspective, like the window, is restricted and narrow. Again, Ibsen asserts that Nora will never fully broaden her constricted perception of the world unless she raises her awareness by having real experiences. The audience can perceive the symbolic meaning of the window as a psychic prison from which is impossible to expand one’s vision of the world and how her life might function outside the familiar domestic

A Christmas Carol is set in London during the Christmas holiday where people are bustling about getting ready to celebrate the wonderful season; everyone but Ebenezer Scrooge. The play tells the story of grumpy old Mr. Scrooge who hates happiness, love, and most importantly Christmas. However, on the Christmas Eve, Mr. Scrooge will meet three ghosts that take him on a life-changing adventure where he learns the importance of family, generosity, and the magic of Christmas. The more important characters in the play include; the poor clerk Bob Cratchit, Scrooge’s nephew Fred, and the three ghosts of Christmas past, Christmas present, and Christmas yet to come. The production team for A Christmas Carol did a breath-taking job producing a play that touched the hearts of each audience member as they were reminded of the beauty of Christmas. On the car ride home, each person will question the importance of money and greed during this joyful season. Unfortunately, the time and effort required by the production team to create such a wonderful play often go unthought of by most of the audience members. There are many crucial roles that work vigorously to create a production like A Christmas Carol. The three

At the fireplace, I picked up one of three presents wrapped up in royal blue paper, crinkling the crisp edges under my grip. It was solid, and didn’t respond to my vigorous shaking. Exasperated, I gave up on my search and made a defeated trek back up to my room to wait for the other.

At first, Jae stared at the creature with unbelief. Based on its physical appearance, Jae surmised that it was a female outsider, and a rather beautiful one too. She told him to keep quiet and pleaded with him not to expose her. Jae was surprised because he could actually understand her pleas and when he spoke to her, she understood him. OMNI told them that they could never understand the Outsiders since they do not have any intelligible language. Jae’s first instinct was to expose her to his officials so she can be publicly executed but after a while, he was overcome with curiosity. Questions soared through his head. How was it that they can communicate effectively, why do they look alike, and most importantly, why has OMNI been lying to them? Jae learned that her name was Ida.
