Hamilton Play Analysis

This is a must watch Broadway show that makes your fine, terrible, or even boring day, an absolute blast. The Play That Goes Wrong has finally made its way to America and right at the heart of New York City near Times Square at the Lyceum Theatre. Therefore, the experience is a win-win situation for the audience. The Lyceum Theatre’s architecture is astonishing as it is filled with ornaments, I also realized the letter ‘L’ around the theater, but the most interesting fact is that it is a landmark. It has a proscenium stage while the audience is in the orchestra, balcony, or the mezzanine seats, like where I sat, and there is barely any space if you are a tall person. My seat was near the far end of mezzanine, I couldn’t see a part of the left side of the stage, so I found myself bending sideways to see what was going on, but I saw nothing. I found the side stage lights and a side balcony blocking my view and yet I had a great time.

The Setting of “Sure Thing” by David Ivis is important in terms of setting the mood as well as the context for the play’s main conflict. “Sure Thing” is set in a café where the the two main characters, Bill and Betty, awkwardly encounter one another. During their encounter, a ring of a bell continues to disrupt their connection. Despite the ringing bell, or because of the ringing bell, the two characters are able to establish a connection. The fact that they are ultimately able to establish a connection suggests many thing about relationships, such as that timing can play a major role in either beginning or not beginning a relationship. For instance, the bell (and the bell’s timing) suggests that

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but maybe they are worth far more than that. Pictures, although seemingly simple in nature, are extremely complex. Far too often, people overlook what a picture truly is. When a person looks at an image, they most likely see only the image, nothing else. Many people do not look deep enough into an image to fully comprehend the true meaning of it. However, when an individual begins to truly study an image in an attempt to understand the true complexity of it, they will be surprised at what they overlooked before. As stated by French Realist Painter, Gustave Courbet, “Fine art is knowledge made visible.”

I read the play Marvin’s Room by Scott McPherson. I chose this play from three plays Burnett offered because the cover was blue and blue is my favorite color. The play is essentially the story of a woman named Bessie who finds out that she has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Through this tragedy her family which was separated comes together again. The theme of this play is that family will always be family. Many people in this play have issues. Hank is in a mental asylum, Marvin is bedridden and dying, and Ruth has back problems. Despite their problems all of these people still care about each other because they are family after all.

Sadly, he passed

On Saturday, December 3rd at 4 pm, I watched the play “Tartuffe” at York College. “Tartuffe” is a classic French play written by Moliere. It was originally named “Tartuffe, ou I’Imposteur”. And it was first performed in 1664. The play is a comedy that centers around the character Tartuffe who is a hypocritical holy man. Throughout the play Moliere indirectly tackles many societal problems in his time.

Hamilton emphasizes the necessities for balancing the power among the branches by claiming the two points that are important to implement.

An American transplant from the Caribbean was Hamilton and Miranda’s family came from Puerto Rico. Lin-Manuel spent many days at his father’s offices where he had previously worked as an advisor to New York City mayor Ed Koch, while Hamilton once served as advisor to George Washington. Their linked history with political worlds and a penchant for using words to reach people helped Miranda relate to Hamilton while reading Chernow’s biography of the historic figure. He felt the connection and knew there was potential for “extraordinary drama” (Mead) in his story. With that first connection, Lin-Manuel Miranda began to construct a 21st century version of a piece of the American Revolution. Weaving past and present by connecting the two with modern-day musical genres and a mix of actors to represent current American society without sacrificing historical accuracy, Miranda has created “the first real hip-hop musical” (Hiatt) that brings history to life in a most entertaining way and is “transcending Broadway to become a full-on phenomenon.” (Hiatt)

His musical Hamilton especially, having massive amounts of fans and tickets costing around five-hundred dollars, this musical is definitely one of the most inspiring things Miranda has done. Obviously, with lyrics like “I am not throwing away my shot,” Miranda manages to use catchy lyrics that show history while inspiring almost everyone who listens to Miranda’s lyrics. The lyrics that were just stated were from a song called “My Shot” describing Alexander Hamilton’s fierce determination and inspiring his friends at the time--John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan, and the Marquis De LaFayette--to follow and complete their goals, which in turn can also inspire listeners to never give up on their own goals. Another song’s lyrics are, “I know that greatness lies in you,” from History Has It’s Eyes on You, sung to a young Alexander Hamilton from George Washington. The lyrics prove that even in the midst of war, listeners should have hope and know that people find inspiration in you and like you, even in hardship and while listeners are facing struggles. Another song, “Right Hand Man” sings, “Hamilton won’t abandon ship, yo let’s steal their cannons!” Clearly, this song occurs when Hamilton is offered a position as Washington’s ‘right hand man’, but still decides to fight in the war even if he didn’t have to. This gives listeners a chance to realize that they have to rise up to struggles and challenges

He was heartbroken, but eventually overcame his death

They took him to the Carroll hospital. They said he he passed out he hit his head really hard. They did some test and they came back. He had internal bleeding and it was not stopping. So they had to lifeflighted him to Mercy Medical Hospital in Des Moines. They got the bleeding to stop after a couple of days. But he did not want to eat so they had to put a feeding tube down his throat. He did not like it

In Hamilton the Revolution, which method of conflict resolution was the most effective? In the book, Lin-Manuel Miranda talks about a poor kid from the caribbean. Lin-Manuel combined hip hop, pop and R&B to tell the story of an immigrant who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States (Miranda back cover). Through rap, Miranda told the world about Alexander Hamilton. Lin went through a few things like Hamilton did.

“How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished, in squalor grow up to be a hero and a scholar?” The first lines of this year’s hottest musical, Hamilton, ask this question about one of our most interesting founding fathers. The story of Hamilton’s life is just as inspiring and interesting today as it would have been to his contemporaries at the time.

Hamilton felt that instead of having a state government, the political power should all go to the national government. He believed that being one with union and not having any states at all would be best for the country. He wanted to get rid of state rights and the states itself but he knew would never happen due to the amount of people who would oppose to that. Hamilton stated that the best government system is monarchy and wanted to lean towards that with his statement. So, he wrote a proposal stating that most of the power should go to the national government but still allow the states to still obtain some of their rights. That’s why he thought that the new Constitution was needed.

This was a very hard decision to make, Randolph, Wilson, Mason, Morris, and Hamilton all had an idea of how long a president should serve. They all liked their own ideas of course so they took this question to the higher ups and they decided to make the president server for 4 yrs and then can be re elected once more. The delegates decided that Representatives would be elected by the people, and that the Senators would be elected by the state legislatures. Well the delegates voted for the Constitution to allow the states to count 3/5ths of their population of slaves towards their total population for purpose of representation and taxation. Congress would come to the agreement that they would not have the power to ban importation of slaves.
