Analysis Of POOP By Chong Tze Chien

In my opinion, the key theme of this play is tyranny. How is tyranny exerted by a small group that is able to manipulate the situation for their own ends? One clear example is how the court arrests many people on the word of the girls alone. Contrastingly, Rebecca Nurse and Elizabeth Proctor are shining examples of people who insist on the truth, regardless of the

     The other view that Glaspell shows in this play is a sympathy that the reader grows for the women. How they are forced to follow the men. Like when they are asked to get close to the fire, they do it even though Mrs. Peters

The bond between the women is like a knot just like the knot tied around Mr. Wrights neck when he was strangled and also how the women will 'knot' tell even through they solved the murder. This theme of the knot is crucial to the plot of the play. The other helpful explaination was of the preservative jars. I thought of the obvious symbolism behind it but Smith discusses how there is one jar left like the remaining secret of the motive. The specific pages I listed for this work were definitely the most helpful.

The way someone acts or makes decisions says a lot about a person because it shows their personality, and defines a character. Grandmother plays a very large role in the family's life. Love and care is constantly displayed throughout the story, especially since their grandmother lives with them and makes strong connections which builds their relationships. Through the story the character of the grandmother

The first words you hear are “punch me” which blows your mind. It makes you ask, “why would someone want to be punched?”. As the play goes on you find out why and it makes you take a step back to realize just how serious this topic is. Just like the production A Chorus Line, you felt for the characters and that connection you had with them only developed more and more throughout the production. One example of this would be how one of the main characters, “Amy” felt throughout the duration of the play. Amy felt that she was alone, and no one would be there for her while she was enduring something that no child should ever have to undergo by themselves. The second example would be “Ester” who was so willing to do anything Amy asked because she wanted friendship and acceptance so badly. The beginning of the play was filled with Ester constantly asking if she was punching her correctly or could do anything to help Amy. This really connects to us as young adults and adolescents because we are constantly looking for acceptance from our peers. This was shown very clearly through the characterization of Ester throughout the

In Margaret Edson’s play, W;t, tells the story of Vivian’s experience with her cancer treatment. Through her treatment, Vivian recognizes her humanity and her lack of understanding life and death. By recognizing that being incredibly smart was not the answer to everything, Vivian looks back on her life and is able to reflect on her character. Edson’s use of aside, flashback, exposition, foreshadow, irony and foil allows Vivian to explore different themes. Through the use of these dramatic devices, Edson is able to convey themes of language, death and humanity.

Firstly let us consider conflict. In each act of the play, we see the overpowering desire to belong leading to a climax of conflict

The stories would not have the same effect if they were from anyone else’s perspective as they put the reader in place of people who are uneducated. The seven players lack of education serves as their downfall, while the reader learns with Sylvia through Miss Moore’s lesson.

At first glance, Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” Susan Glaspell’s Trifles, and Henrik Isben’s A Doll House seem to have nothing in common. However, the short story and plays have many similarities. Particularly, five women from these tales— Louise Mallard, Minnie Wright, Mrs. Peters, Mrs. Hale, and Nora Helmer—make drastic decisions that appear to be motiveless. Without context, any reader could be confused by Louise’s death, Nora’s departure, and Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale’s unanimous effort to cover up the murder that Minnie Wright committed, which also seems to lack serious motive. However, all of these women’s settings, situations, and lives have connections that make their motives similar. Emotion motivates all five women—not just

For while the men are looking actively for the "smoking gun," the women are confronted with more subtle clues in spite of themselves and even try to hide from each other what they intuitively know. But they do not fool each other for long, as Glaspell describes, "Their eyes met - something flashed to life, passed between them; then, as if with an effort, they seemed to pull away from each other" (295). However, they cannot pull away, for they are bound by a power they do not even comprehend: "We all go through the same things -  it's all just a different kind of the same thing!...why do you and I understand? Why do we know - what we know this minute?" (303). They do not realize that it is intuition they share, that causes them to "[see] into things, [to see] through a thing to something else...." (294). Though sympathetic to Minnie Wright, the women cannot deny the damning clues that lead them to the inescapable conclusion of her guilt.

To begin with, in this play the author unfolds family conflicts that involve its characters into a series of events that affected their lives and pushed them to unexpected ways.

By using a play by play of the scenes in the play, the article pays close attention to the “trifles” the women paid close attention to while the men ridiculed them for it. The article also mentions how, “women’s responsibilities and concerns tend to remain somewhat distinct from men’s.” Because of this

Urine and feces are not the only waste products produced by the body. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and inorganic salts are also waste products produced by the body. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen are released from the lungs when you exhale through the respiratory system. Inorganic salts may be excreted when you sweat or urinate, through the integumentary and urinary systems, respectively. Misconception: Feces is eliminated from the body, and so it must be a part of the excretory system.The excretory system only removes metabolic wastes produced by the cells. Feces are not made of wastes produced by your cells. Instead, they are the indigestible remains of food that you have eaten. Feces are eliminated from the body through the digestive system. How

The main character of this story is Emily Grierson. The author does a good job of introducing her to the story noting in the first sentence, “When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral…” (Bohner 404). From the beginning the reader gets a sense of interest in Emily and that she was played an important role in her town. Emily’s character as described by the narrator is very consistent. She was raised as a person of wealth who was sheltered from the outside world. Emily seems to have a lack of finesse when dealing with other people finesse, a person of wealth and class should have. Emily’s character was strong yet weak at the same time and the narrator notes this in her altercation with the druggist. “She carried her head high enough-even

The setting of the play which takes place in the early twentieth century has established the theme that women have been looking down by men. ‘Trifles’ that is used as the title of the play has further foreshadowed the theme of the play in which discrimination of women will happen in the play. During the investigation of Mr Wright’s death, the men that involved in finding out the murderer have despised
