Prologue: The play begins by revealing the setting as Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Seemingly important details are that the play is taking place during a scorching month of August, the home where the scene takes place is run down, and that any source that permits sunlight to come in has been taped down. The three characters revealed are Johna, Beverly, and Violet. Johna is a young, Indian woman who is being interviewed by Beverly. Her duties around the house will be to clean, cook, to take Violet to the clinic, and to live there. Beverly is a kind alcoholic, who wants to get help for his wife, Violet. Violet is addicted to pills, has mouth cancer, and reveals herself to be unstable and sporadic. Act 1: Mattie Fae, Charlie Aiken, and Ivy are the next characters presented. Mattie Fae, Violets sister, appears to be an obnoxious and rude wife, of Charlie, and mother. Through the first scene, Charlie and Mattie Fae are bickering and disputing many ordeals, including that Beverly has gone missing, while Ivy, Violets daughter, is impartially listening to their spat. Clearly, there are marital problems between Charlie and Mattie Fae. Little Charles is revealed as Mattie Fae and Charles’ son, Ivy’s cousin, and he seems to create hatred in his mother. The drama then turns its attention to the characters of Violet and Ivy. Ivy is always jubilant about helping her mother. However, her help and attention is forgotten and downright ignored. Violet is obsessed with her other daughter’s arrival,
Over 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust, 1.1 million were children and 6 million were Jewish. In the novel titled Night by Elie Wiesel, it tells about a kid name Elie Wiesel and his experience during the Holocaust. This novel will will also explain his thoughts/feelings during this tragic event. During the tragic event, Elie Wiesel lost his mother when the Holocaust started and lost his father at the end of the Holocaust. Three qualities that contributed to Wiesel’s survival was his intelligence, when he hid his left arm, his bravery, when he refused to separate from his father during the selection, and his determination, when he decided to not stop running during the flee.
Literature, is certainly the most influential playwright of the English Renaissance. Born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon in rural northern England, he was the son of a middle class glove maker. Competing against such illustrious company as Christopher Marlowe and Ben Johnson, Shakespeare quickly became one of the most popular playwrights in the city of London, and a favourite of the monarch, the powerful Queen Elizabeth I. Shakespeare wrote thirty-eight plays. "Twelfth Night" was written near the middle of Shakespeare' career, around 1601, and most critics consider it as one of his greatest comedies.
Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.
“Night” is a book based on the childhood of the writer Elie Wiesel and his experience during Nazi-Germany. He writes about his experiences from 1944-1945 the height and downfall of the second World War.
After reading the book “Night” I wanted to know why people try to put others down to make them feel better about themselves. I’m writing this paper because I don’t like that people are stereotypical and racist. This topic doesn’t really interest me, it just makes me curious as to why people are like this. Did something happen to them to make them hate on others? Are they just like that? Reading about the holocaust and how they were treated really made me want to why people treat others like that. In “Night” all the prisoners are treated as if they aren’t human, they’re treated like animals and I don’t know why the officers try to dehumanize them for their race but it is really sad. The prisoners had to run miles after not eating for
“The other night, during the full moon, I opened the shutters so I could watch you sleep. You were slumbering peacefully, like someone with nothing on his conscience. A little smile was showing through your beard. Your face made me think of the sun coming through the clouds, it was as though all of the suffering you’ve endured had evaporated, as though pain had never dared to touch the least wrinkle in your skin. It was a vision so beautiful, so calm, I wished the dawn would never come.” Page 42 Chapter 4
As the scene progresses once more, things start occurring out of the ordinary - a coat starts floating towards the child, doors start opening by themselves, and the child feels as if there is a monster in his room. Again, it is the setting that contributed towards the fear felt in this scene - as anyone watching this film can relate to the fear felt by the child, and this is the effect intended by Stephen T Kay. This is the ‘fear of the unknown’ and is contributed to through darkness and a paranoia that there is something nearby that you can’t see. A fear that most if not every child has, and means they can empathise and feel fear alongside the child in the film.
Dilsey Gibson, a black woman, serves as a mother figure for the children and a caretaker for the rest of the family. Dilsey feels as though she really is a part of the family. However, Mrs. Compson and a grown up Jason disagree and feel that she is easily replaceable. It goes against community and identity in the South to have a black woman step out of place, and Jason feels that she does step out of place quite often. Dilsey is shown as a stabilizer when she defends Miss Quentin. Faulkner writes, “‘[Mrs. Compson] come on and lay down now,’ she said. ‘I find her in ten minutes.’ Mrs. Compson shook her off. ‘Find the note,’ she said. ‘Quentin left a note when he did it’” (283). This is showing that Dilsey can figure Mrs. Compson out and wants to protect her. She believes that Miss Quentin will come back and wants to help spare Mrs. Compson some heartache. Even though Mrs. Compson treats her poorly, she still looks out for her. I believe that at this time in the South, black people knew white people better than white people knew black people. White people could not see past the prejudice. Dilsey also stabilizes the house when she looks after Miss Quentin. For example, Dilsey says to Jason, “Well, you tend to yo business and let her lone… I’ll take keer of her ef you’n Miss Cahline’ll let me” (254). Dilsey steps in and takes charge when it comes to carrying for the children. She knows that she is one of the few people that can calm Miss Quentin down. Dilsey also takes tender
The first time Codee had the dream was the night before he was due to set off with his brother, Dane, on his first tuna tow. Prior to that first dream, or perhaps more accurately nightmare, Codee had actually been excited about the trip. He’d forgotten all the nonsense with his mother and the tarot cards, and it had been three weeks since he’d even spoken to her. After the night of the tarot reading, she became distant. It was almost as if she’d left too much of herself in that inner place she went to, and could no longer service the body she left behind here. Codee had tried at first to talk her around, but the only replies he got for his talking were blank stares and pained, frozen expressions. He’d seen her go ‘catatonic’, as he called it, before, and he was sure she would come around eventually, so he decided the best thing to do was to give her some space. Besides, he really just wanted to put the whole doom-and-gloom predictions his mother had made behind him. So he kept to himself in his own room, and she did the same in hers. Somehow it worked. With his mother out of sight, all residual anxiety and doubt about whether she was telling the truth or not trailed off and disappeared like smoke in the wind. And somehow, in spite of his nerves about how he would cope out there with a job he knew next to nothing about, he even found himself looking forward to it. Until that first dream.
Pamela was the name given to her at birth by her mama which was her mama’s. That was thirty-eight years ago. Now a former prostitute from Miami, Pamela could barely remember her mother or the last time anybody truly loved her.
Every morning, he wakes up in his king sized bed with his silk sheets and stretches his
it 's mid-evening, and he 's roaming the emptied roadways all by himself; the streets like ruptured veins, the buildings spilling out like fractures of neon lights and ripped-paper kites. he 's blocks away from his own home, drifting amongst the dying wisps of an oil-pastel twilight, and as he kneels down, he can trace lightly along the countless cracks of the pavement; slowly, slowly, feeling the imperfections with the ridges of his own tiny fingertips, brushing against the jagged edges pulled apart at the seams. as he kneels down, there 's a buzzing in the stilted summer air, a hum in the restlessness as though something big 's about to happen; and oikawa finds himself breathless, if only for a lapse in all of time, because it 's beautiful, it 's so so beautiful, and still he 's unhappy, he 's so so unhappy.
Ariel gave him a small dark box. The device was designed to carry his voice waves. She said it was for communication. He was only half paying attention, as she taught him to press the image of her face, thus summoning her to him.
He drifted in and out of sleep throughout the night. His mind plagued with what-ifs. There had to be a way to compromise, as he had with the druids. However, there was so much fear instilled prejudice against magic users that even the peaceful nomads still faced persecution within various parts of his kingdom. He recalled the old woman whom he and Merlin had saved from the pyre in her village. The one who had given him the Horn of Cathbhadh. He knew nothing about her or what she had been accused of, but he 'd taken the ancient, magical object. Even after being warned, he 'd still used it without regard for the laws of magic and bringing about near-disastrous consequence.
One sunny morning in June, Taylor and Peyton had just got done with breakfast. They were going to see if their friends Ryan and Justin just next door wanted to go with them to the park that was just down the street from their house. They walked through the front yard, the grass was all dewy and wet from the rain the night before.
