Analysis Of Sure Things By David Ives

A short play is usually filled with a theatrical energy of diverse anthologies. The time allotted may be only ten or fifteen minutes, so it must be able to capture and engage the audience with some dramatic tension, exciting action, or witty humor. Just as in a short story, a great deal of the explanation and background is left for the reader or viewer to discover on their own. Because all the details are not explicitly stated, each viewer interprets the action in their own way and each experience is unique from someone else viewing the same play. Conflict is the main aspect that drives any work of literature, and plays usually consist of some form of conflict. In “Playwriting 101:

Drama often generates levels of meaning that are not directly stated (sometimes called sub-text). Explore some examples of the presence of sub-text and its dramatic importance in at least two of the plays you have studied. (May 2014)

The dramaturge explores the inner and outer world of the play and how the use of Design can be appropriate to the plays context and accurately portray the playwright’s intention while still conforming to the conventions and practices of the period.

Plays were used for entertainment for many centuries. Starting with the Greek theaters, and lasting to this time in many different theaters, stages, and halls for the performance. One of the most proclaimed playwriters of his time is William Shakespeare. He could write his plays in such a way, everyone can have a different look on the characters and how the plot unfolds while they watched or read the plays. A great example is the play, “Hamlet” in which the main character Hamlet believes to go mad. Elizabethans used the term “mad” as losing one’s sanity. Many people believe in his madness, but there is prove it is a lie, when he talks to Ophelia causing her to believe he is crazy, how he uses it against the King and Polonius to hide his real intention of murder, and how he able to convince his mother

Novels and plays are two different forms of literature that are both capable of delivering similar messages. A novel is a type of literature that is meant to be read and excite the imagination as is shown in the novel “The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse.” On the other hand, a play is another form of literature that is meant to be acted and is based on conversations as is displayed in the play “fareWel.” Although both of these forms are uniquely different, they both are connected by the fact that they each are capable of telling a story and include a sequence of events. Therefore, a novel and a play may seem like total opposites yet they have the capability to produce similar messages to the readers.

From Burke’s explanation of dramatism comes the pentad. The pentad is made up of five major dimensions: act, scene, agent, agency, and purpose (4). It is a requirement that all of these areas be addressed when describing any symbolic act (4). The easiest way to approach each of these areas of the pentad is to associate them with the questions that they aim to answer. Burke clearly identifies what their specific goals are:

One major difference between the play and the movie occurs in mood and the various background scenes were drives the unique technical aspect applied in order to acquire the interest of the audience. While we read the text, it diverts our notion into different gesture and it basically depends on how reader grasps its concept but in movie the audience can feel the same as they have seen in the

Plays from around the world have similar situations and characters; but what a play different are the cultures and regions the plays are performed and written in. This affects the structure and the stages of the plays; examples of this are Noh Theater and Ancient Greek Theater, both different but have some similarities. Euripides and Zeami both apply different techniques in their theater ways, but both help apply each theater practice a way to make the audience more reactant of the characters, the story, and the stage. In example, The Bacchae by Euripides and Atsumori by Zeami are similar in how both use influences of their belief system and integrate in the play, however they are different culturally and they both have distinct stages for

Plays have lack of props and details compared to books. For example, in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the actor playing Ichabod Crane didn’t have a horse. He was just galloping around like a little boy. If he had a horse it would have been easier to understand and interpret the story correctly. Again, in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the Headless Horseman was nothing like he was in the book, creating confusion. Although plays lack details, you can still visualize them better than books. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavaras County book, had more details, but it was harder to visualize because of the older words we don’t use much in books nowadays. However, the play was easier to understand because you could actually see what was going on and hear

When Shakespeare sets the characters in both plays in front of a place he has them as the audience of what they have experienced.

Despite the fact Shakespeare having written two plays from two unmistakably distinctive genres; I have been able to investigate the ways in which the plays are homogenous, which indeed suggest that they are both unique inside their own particular rights. Love, apprehension and extreme emotion are all present throughout the story of 'Romeo and Juliet' similarly included in the Merchants of Venice. In the play Romeo &Juliet written by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet's fates are interlaced from the moment of their birth. Shakespeare's use of dramatic structure in the play including the switching between comedy and tragedy intensifies tension in scenes and brings the audience closer to the two youthful partners as we witness their relationship

Chapter two begins with describing what a play is. A play is an event, or an action. A play usually presents conflicts and actors that can serve as role models. Finally, a play is acting out a story, dressing up, and using props.

The second oldest form of literature after poetry is drama. Dramas have changed a lot over the years. They use to plays that were wrote to be performed in the theater, and now they are mostly written to be performed in a movie or a television show. There are many dramas today that most people would not considered to be drama. Before reading the information in our text book, I thought drama was basically just a story or movie between people who had problems with each other; but that’s not completely true. Dramas can basically be anything that has a hero or dialogue to a certain extent. For this paper, I choose to write about the drama in the movie The Hunger Games. This movie is not just only drama, it is also adventure and sci-fi movie.

Throughout history literature has changed into many different forms and styles, it has also stayed the same in many different ways, literary techniques and elements are key to a good piece of writing, a perfect example that shows us just this is in, A Midsummer Nights Dream, where we will further explore the different literary elements that were used most notably the plot. The plot of a story lays out the foundation and the background for the entire play to come, we'll compare and contrast this element and look at the different sub elements which are produced. We will define similarities and difference in these elements form both the play o the film. Taking a look at things such as climax, play incidents, and the conflict will all give us

Drama and dramatic performances have consistently been present throughout human society, both as a medium for entertainment as well as a forum for education and critique. Aristophanes, the “father of modern drama”, was the first to really successfully amalgamate these two ideas together within his dramatic pieces, as can be seen in his works Wasps and Frogs. Shakespeare was the next great dramatist, and arguably the great dramatist, and he has evolved Aristophanes’ ideas and methods and developed them to greater extent. These can be seen in works such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, King Lear and Hamlet, but are present in the large majority of his works. And with
