Peter Ward Journey

Since Peter desperately wanted his freedom, he attempted to get it back through any means, rational or irrational; which his parents realize after he has done so: "'Wendy (Peter's sister) and Peter aren't in their rooms,' said his (George's, Peter's father) wife. 'No,' he said. 'They've broken into the

In this play Anne had made a relationship when she was trapped in a attic for two years. In this movie they need to see how Anne and Peter first met and reacted to one another. Then to the end how the felt about each other. Although the play and the movie have different actions. Both works contain the same major conflicts.

In July, lawyers advice Haringey council social workers that they cannot legally take Peter into care. Later on in July Ms Ward makes a pre arranged visit to the families’ home and manages to miss injuries as Peter was deliberately covered in chocolate to hide them. Police then hand over further reports to the CPS, including statements from 2 doctors saying that Peter’s bruising was suggestive of “non accidental” injury, but prosecutors decide that there is not enough evidence to start a case. On Aug 1st Peter is taken to a child development clinic where the paediatrician decides she cannot carry out a complete check as Peter was miserable and cranky, and on the 2nd Aug police tell Peter’s mother she will not be prosecuted. Finally on 3rd Aug a 999 call is made at 11.36am. Four minutes later the paramedics arrive to find Peter lying in a blood spattered cot. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. An attempt was made to cover the crime, as Peter’s clothes and bedding were removed and dumped.

Overall the book gives a level of depth and openness that was startling as an uninformed individual. As the book is a direct insight to Lori’s schizophrenic mind as she recalls in detail her thoughts and experiences revolving her stays in the psychiatric ward and halfway houses. Indeed the progression of Lori’s illness is reflected in the author of the chapters in her book. For in the middle of the book, where Lori is in the depths of her psychosis, the story is carried on by her parents

The intensity in our story develops when our narrator discovers she really doesn’t love Peter. It’s when he asks her if she fancy’s the waiter (151), when she understands, at that moment she does not love him. Here is when she falls out of love in Sarajevo. It is because our narrator has a certain abusive struggle from Peter, that she seems to change her mind about him in such an instance. But through out the story she doesn’t seem to mind the way he mentally abuses her, how he’s always putting her down, and she doesn’t seem to understand that he still thinks of his wife but is practically with her for the fact she’s a good “LAY”. Her constant thought of Mrs. Piper, Peter’s wife, although she never physically appears in the story, she seems to always be present in her and his mind, making it hard for her to be fully with her lover (Peter) and in this way further extend her fantasious love relationship. She seems to be in denial about what truly is going on, and how she wants to make this work, when in deed she’s only in it for the grade, but she doesn’t want to

The movie’s main theme tends to contrast two groups of people in the society. One group consists of people who come from the rural areas while the other group is that of people from the urban setting. The social norm of the people in the rural areas is based on simplicity and illiteracy. The story revolves around the murder of one of The Ward Brothers. The death of William occurs and his brother Delbert is accused of killing him. Delbert denies the allegations but before he is set free he is taken into custody and made to sign some forms.

The play was well interpreted by all whom were involved. Steven Wrentmore, the Director, kept the 1920’s feel by dressing in all 1920’s costumes and everyone spoke as if they were living at the

Peter is quiet and a shy boy. He has many duties chopping wood, fetching vegetables and potatoes from downstairs, and looking out for his cat. Anne thought he was boring and awkward. She later thought different and in up falling in love with him after she found him as a decent boy.

While the distance separates them, the specific dynamics of their relationship fade into the background, but if Ender were to suddenly return to earth, even five years later, even as a war hero, Peter would likely treat him just the same, because Peter doesn’t change. At the conclusion of the novel, Valentine takes it into her own hands to ensure that Ender never returns to earth, knowing that Peter, now gaining power in politics, would use and manipulate his famous younger brother to give himself further sway. This remains true because “the id… does not change with time” which has also proven true for Peter in other instances (McLeod). With Ender gone, the Wiggin family moves away, much to Valentine’s chagrin. She wonders how Ender is meant to come home, to find them, when home is no longer where it once was. Simultaneously, Valentine knows exactly why the family has moved: “It was for Peter, so that living among trees and small animals, so that nature, in as raw a form as Mother and Father could conceive of it, might have a softening influence on their strange and frightening son” (Card 151). The Wiggin parents had hoped that the calm serenity of nature might find root in Peter, and as far as they are concerned, it did. Upon moving, Peter seems better than before. He does well in school; he does not torment his classmates.

This scene in the movie poorly appropriates a very famous scene in the play and the movie continues thereafter to make clumsy and indiscreet representations of key events in the play; one has to wonder why he made a movie that hinges on so many poorly executed key scenes.

The common formula for these second act, rehashed tales often disappoint. The thrill is gone and producer’s resort to trickery such as, far fetched story lines and metaphors to capture our attention. They have to dig deeper into the psyche and personal lives of the leading cast, which often leaves a lackluster taste on our cinematic palates. It is very difficult to spin the same old tale time after time, this

Peter found that to live in this hostile world, it was better to conform with society and, as Jerry accused him, 'make sense out of things and bring order.'; Both the men's acceptance, however, led to the isolation of the individual, where Jerry felt alone not by choice, while Peter, even though he lived according to the rules of society, still managed to isolate himself because he lived in a household of females. He achieved his sense of satisfaction with the world by coming to the same part of the park to read. 'I've come here for years; I have hours of great pleasure, great satisfaction. And that's important to a man.';

This movie gives us a perfect example of how a conflict was not handled effectively because assumptions were made, the character jumped to conclusion, due to this the issue became worse than it should have been. The communication dynamics in this was always done through someone else therefore one person would get upset, because he misunderstood the person that was giving him information.

In Summary, with these three examples it is shown that the play and the movie contrast quite a bit. Most of the story line and the dialogue were very similar to the original story in the movie but some things were changed, possibly to shorten the story to be able to make

Overall I think the actors and everyone involved in the making of this play did a very good job, even though I liked the performance of some actors better than others. The fact that this translation of the play was a more modern version original play made it more fun to watch according to me. Unfortunately, the fact that I was not able to fully understand the actors’ dialog throughout the play made it less entertaining and agreeable for me to
