The true horrors of World War I are difficult to convey through traditional written word. David Malouf’s Fly Away Peter is a novella which uses relatable characters and stereotypes to provide a window for audiences to engage with warfare. This is enhanced by an array of poetic and descriptive language with vivid imagery to truly channel the anguish and confusion of soldiers in war to the audience. Juxtaposition is Malouf’s greatest asset, along with religious symbolism and allusion add subtext to the novella. These techniques allow Malouf to condemn war, create a novella of dualities and illuminate the true meaning life.

“The Tired old carriage, pulled by two tired old horses, rumbled onto the wharf its creaky wheels bumpety-bumping on uneven planks, waking Peter from his restless slumber.” This is the first sentence of the book, Peter and the Starcatcher by Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, and the illustrator Greg Call.

In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey, the climax occurs when Nurse Ratched, the antagonist, forces the men who return from the boating trip to shower, causing a violent melee that leads to the book’s resolution. McMurphy, one of the protagonists in the story, arranges a special boating trip to let the other men in the ward have a sense of happiness and independence. As Nurse Ratched discovers that the men interact with a prostitute, she furiously demands the men to cleanse their bodies. George expresses his disapproval of the nurse’s demand due to his phobia of cleanliness, and McMurphy and Chief Bromden physically fight the nurses as a part of their protest. In the end McMurphy and Chief Bromden relocate to the Disturbed Ward for their extreme behavior: “They kept talking like that, to cheer us up and make us feel better, about what a fight, what a victory—as the Big Nurse helped the aides from Disturbed adjust those soft leather cuffs to fit our arms” (234). The main theme of the novel, the overthrowing of authority comes to a close, and Nurse Ratched finally captures McMurphy, the man who encourages the rest of the patients to resist her oppression. This climatic scene contributes to the resolution: the weaker party, or the patients, win by proving their point of intolerance towards authority, yet Nurse Ratched remains the ultimate person in control. Shortly after the incident, Nurse Ratched metaphorically and literally sucks the life out of McMurphy with

What is star-stuff and what is bravery? When is someone brave? Star-stuff is magical dust that allows you to fly, heals, changes people and turns animals into different stuff that is unique. Bravery is being ready to face and endure danger or pain in a quest, a challenge or task. When someone is brave, they are trying to save something valuable to that person to protect, and if it the right thing to do at that time for you or someone else. The theme of Peter and the Starcatchers is bravery, shown by Peter, Molly, and Leonard Aster.

The production, The Drowsy Chaperone, is a jovially musical full of bright fun colors and a comical parody of the American Musical Theatre circa the ‘20s. The production had managed to place me in the appropriate era through the use of costume and sound design. The works of Kayla Lopez, as the Costume Designer and Josh Azoulay, as the Lighting Designer, all, respectfully, contributed to my overall “willing suspension of disbelief”, as an audience member. Both the lighting and sound design, worked together in order to differentiate between the two worlds that were present on stage, the one the older man was in as well as the one the main story was placed.

The director also used many elements of design but the ones that I thought were very obvious were color, shape, and texture. One of the very influential design elements in the film was color. The main factor for this was the color of their houses and cars. Each one of the townspeople's homes were all colors with pinks, yellows and blues. The homes were also very nice and had the prettiest lawns and very clean houses inside and outside.

Thesis: It is the intent of this paper to dig into the life of Peter and see just who this man that passionately followed Christ was. As we dig into the life of Peter we will examine his character strengths, his weaknesses, and overall how Peter was transformed by Christ. We will see how God took a man who more often than not acted without thinking and transformed him into a passionate follower who’s words we read today in God’s very words to us.

During the process of envisioning and designing a film, the director, production designer, and art director (in collaboration with the cinematographer) are concerned with several major spatial and temporal elements. These design elements punctuate and underscore the movement of figures within the frame, including the following: setting, lighting, costuming, makeup, and hairstyles.

The Scenic Design paper will be based on the Broadway show “39 Steps”. The 39 Steps is adapted from the 1915 novel by John Buchan and the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock. The original concept of a four actor version of the story was by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon. The 39 Steps performed with a cast of only four. One actor plays the hero, “Richard Hannay” Then theres an actress or sometimes a actor who plays the three women of the play. which our hero has romantic intimacy with. Then we have two other actors play every other character in the show like heroes, villains, men, women, children and inanimate object. This often requires lightning fast quick-changes and occasionally for them to play multiple characters at once. The 39 steps was a

Including kids in the show was a great touch, It made the village look lively. Other than Belle’s home looking flimsy, The set was great, The gigantic painting of the beast made the Beast’s castle look elegant, appealing, and realistic. In the West Wing, I thought the bookcase and the magic rose made the entire play come together really well. I could tell the director put a lot of effort into the acting, and emotion that was exhorted to the crowd. The technical director’s work was very noticeable and I really enjoyed noticing It. The lighting was fantastic and you could tell there was a lot of effort and time put into It. The lighting in the “Mob Song” was really nice, with the flashing

The lighting techniques used in the scenarios shall differ, while on one set the cinematographer and director shall play along with low-key lighting, the other scenarios base shall be that of natural light or hard light. The filters that shall be used in the scenarios shall only be set once the script is complete. There shall be a difference in décor, as both these scenarios will not be correlated. The same can be said about the costumes. The placement of the camera, the amalgamation of the type of shots required shall further help provide scenic realism and help derive a desired emotion. The goal is to understand these elements better by further research and practice.
