From The Plains And The City

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:

The Plain Indians had interesting geography and landscape to learn about. The Plains were located from Texas to Montana and all the way to Canada. The location causes good weather for farming year round. In the exhibit the location is shown by the Rocky Mountains on the bottom of the exhibit and the Mississippi River on the top of the exhibit. Trees were scarce in the Plains. The trees supplied wood for the Indians so they could make new weapons. In the exhibit this is shown by the Mississippi River. Rivers helped out the Indians by supplying them with fresh food, water, and good soil for farming. In this exhibit the river is shown on the top. In conclusion the Plains Indians rely on natural resources to live a structured

Native Americans that lived in the Great Plains had to have been part of one of four tribes. The four tribes were the Cheyenne, the Lakota, the Osage, or the Pawnee. The region in which they lived was the Mid-West, areas in which we now call Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, etc. The weather area is very harsh, considering the tornadoes and other absurd weather conditions. Since there are many tornadoes in those areas, they had to figure out a way to make extremely sturdy houses. Their main source of food on this flat land was hunting. They would hunt deer, elk, buffalo, bear, and wild turkey. Most of the tribes had their own language, two of which being Siouan, which was for the Osage tribe and Caddoan, which was for the Pawnee tribe. Some of the

With the Treaty, the United States became a continental empire (Greenberg 25). It was in total possession of the terrain between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Nomadic societies of the Great Plains held title to the majority of lad through binding treaties with the United States. They exerted physical control of massive stretches of the west, but to white spectators, the claims were illegitimate. In 1851, the United States allotted territories to numerous Plains tribes to lessen the frequency of intertribal conflicts (Greenberg 25).

I don’t know a lot about theater, and I can’t name many plays. But, it is easily recognizable that The Laramie Project is a particularly important piece of theatre. It entertains its audience, as any other play can do, but it simultaneously sheds light on a terrifying reality many easily ignore. It is a profoundly moving play that has a vital message, a brilliantly distinct style and in most aspects an exceptional production.

August Wilson was born Frederick August Kittell, later adopting the maiden name of his mother, Daisy Wilson, not only to disavow his father, but to represent a significant rite of passage marking both his discovery and celebration of ties with Africa. He grew up in the “Hill”, a small district in Pittsburgh that was populated by poor African-Americans. His life was filled with a childhood of poverty and hardship along with discrimination from attending a predominantly white Catholic school. An analysis of the life of August Wilson reveals the various themes portrayed in his play, Fences, which discloses the strains of society on African-Americans and their aspirations as well as the plight of their place in America.

Not only that but he also focuses on the problems that are arousing on the frontier, describing the different classes of people that live here and the challenges they overcome or encounter. He also describes the events of the actual was itself, to give us a better understanding of everything else that is going around at that time. The ways he sets up the book chronologically really gives the reader the opportunity to understand more than the war itself. Slaughter also focuses on the problems on the frontier as we mention he dedicated a whole chapter to the problems that the Native American tribes bring to the Americans while at war. Slaughter also focuses on the problems and disagreements between the people of the East and the

Thesis: A person has to have a lot of strength to live on the plains, and women hold the most strength in the plains, as shown in “The Hired Girls.”

TOPIC: Many plays and novels use contrasting places (for example, two countries, two cities or towns, two houses, or the land and the sea) to represent opposed forces or ideas that are central to the meaning of the work. Choose a novel or play that contrasts two such places. Write an essay explaining how the places differ, what each place represents, and how their contrast contributes to the meaning of the work.

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.

The elements of a play are setting, irony, plot, characters, and theme, which will be discussed in the essay.

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

Action packed, suspenseful, and full of well known actors and actresses, State of Play immediately captures its audience's attention and proves to be a movie worth seeing. Under the direction of Kevin Macdonald and Russell Crow’s outstanding performance, State of Play turns out to be a suspenseful drama that shows its audience the struggles of a journalist trying to investigate the death of the assistant of his friend.

Even though the actors are well rehearsed when it comes to moving around the stage, they do it so effortlessly that it’s not a distraction for the audience. The movement of actors may be considered a small thing, but it’s what make a play realistic or not. For a realistic play, the way the actors behave makes it seem they are not worried about the audience and being in their way. They talk, walk and act in a manner similar to that of our everyday behavior. In “August: Osage County” the actors are so believable that we as spectators forget it’s a play but rather seeing a glimpse into someone’s family.
