Narrative: The Night of the Prom Essay

While many will agree that Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is critically acclaimed to be one of the most entertaining and well-liked pieces that he has written, there tends to be a discrepancy over how the characters in the play are portrayed when it comes to the importance of gender roles. After reading James C Bulman’s article over the Globe’s more recent performance of Twelfth Night and Shakespeare’s original written version, I realized that there are many ways that this famous piece has been portrayed and each has its own pros and cons.

Prom is supposed to be a very exciting night. I think finding a date for prom is even more exciting. You see my school has this thing called grand march and you have to have a prom date/ friend to even participate in the walk. So if you are a loner you can’t go. Well my experience finding a prom date so I wouldn’t be a loner was quite the adventure.

Well I'm more awake than this morning, and I'm braining better. Since the prom spread is Megan x2, Emily, and Mine's I just was wondering if you know what Dani has in terms of prom-posal pictures, or information. Next class I would like to gather those resources so that we're not scrambling next Monday. Also since this is Dani's spread should we keep the title and layout, and everything and just plug in pictures or take creative control. I'm fine with any of them but I don't want to overstep/understep my boundries.

“Hey, what are you doing.” Chloe said as she walked over to Kara on the track behind the school after school was over.

After we told her some stuff about us we had to leave for a meeting. We all walked across the large field and to a building that served as a nurse’s station. The back of the building had a big deck that overlooked the gigantic lake. Kids from the saxophone section were already sitting on the deck. I saw my friend William and waved.

“Yeah, I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other again real soon, Sara Singer from Saraland.”

I have been involved in the Youth Council for about one year. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Being in the Youth council has really taught me a great deal and has given me a new perspective. Before joining the Youth Council I was seldom involved in any community service activities outside of my school. I was fortunate enough to find out about the Youth Council through a family member and quickly signed up to volunteer.

Blake and Kelsey both smiled. Neither girl knew what to say back, so they took a seat on the smaller couch and waited. For the first few minutes they all just played on their phones, and small conversations were exchanged between the two friends. Before things could get too awkward, Blake turned towards James and tried to start a conversation.

Prom at Belleville West has been in the same place for the last 20+ years, Belleville West lunchroom. The tickets for Prom last year were $60, this year the tickets have increased by $15, but the location for it is still the same.

In Shakespeare’s play, Twelfth Night or What you Will, the characters are involved in a plot complete with trickery, disguise, and love. Each character is defined not by his or her gender or true identity, but by the role they are forced to take because of the complicated situation that arises. Unlike their gender, the speech the characters give an insight to their true personalities. In the Twelfth Night, the character Duke Orsino uses flowery and over-dramatic language, long poetic sentence structure, and melodramatic metaphors to display his overemotional romantic nature despite the different emotions in his various speeches.

Whether it was a wonderful experience or a terrible one, if you went to your high school senior prom, I am sure that it was a night to remember. For so many teenagers the prom is the highlight of high school. It is the one thing so many students look forward to. Many see it as a rite of passage into adulthood. For Amy L. Best, the author of "Prom Night: Youth, Schools, and Popular Culture", the prom is a perfect opportunity to explore teen identity and individuality. It is also a place to look at how this event speaks so much about today's kids.

Although he doesn’t seem to learn or develop much through the duration of the play, Feste is no dull character. In fact, Feste is known as one of Shakespeare’s greatest, most interesting and well-written characters. The complexity of Feste’s speech and each of his interactions with other characters reveal multiple important perspectives and roles that help contribute to the play. In Twelfth Night, Shakespeare puts a spin on the importance of Feste’s role by casting him as Olivia’s licensed fool, the play’s commentator and a connection joint towards the reality of the audience as well as for the play’s storyline. Through his frequent witty comments, Feste’s extensive intelligence of the other characters shines through as he pinpoints their

Graduation day arrived and I had butterflies out of this world. It seemed as if I misplaced everything. I could not find my dress. My family came from one state to another. I finally got to the church were the commencement was going to be held. I

In the United States, a promenade dance, informally known as prom, is commonly described as a semi-formal black tie event usually for high school juniors and seniors. For many, prom night of firsts: the first adult social event as a teenager, the first time kissing someone, maybe the first time being out after dark, or even the first time dressing formally. Specifically, prom serves as a significant milestone in an adolescent teenage girl’s life as she makes the transition into womanhood. On the site, Stage of Life.com, a young student blogger described prom as “a happy celebration for the top classes’ years of hard work that got them to where they are going.” While most would agree to all the statements previously made, just as many would agree that prom can be very pricey and even a waste of money. Prom costs in recent years have been known to spiral up-to $1300 for just one night. This example may be an extreme but even expenses as low $200 could be considered too expensive for some families. Sadly, there are many teenage girls who do not even attend their senior prom because of the costly expenses associated with prom. At A Night to Remember Inc., we believe no young lady should have to miss out on her night of important “firsts” and her chance to celebrate her hard work and dedication as a student.

I think the reason Olivia quickly falls in love with Cesario because he is not like other men. He understands her in the emotional way that many other man, such as the duke can not. This is something all women crave from men, but rarely are able to achieve. Not only this, but because Viola (Cesario) has no interest in Olivia, he’s able to speak freely and however bluntly he desires. Which would be refreshing for Olivia after having all these men try to seduce her, by showering her in complements from the duke. I believe she would enjoy the chase of making Cesario fall for her, because she’s finally found someone who doesn’t want her the way all the other men do. I think another one of the reason Olivia falls in love with him is because he’s not always down her throat about the duke, due partially because he (Viola) likes the duke himself.
