Realistic Joneses By Will Eno, And Directed By Scott Yarbrough

     The other view that Glaspell shows in this play is a sympathy that the reader grows for the women. How they are forced to follow the men. Like when they are asked to get close to the fire, they do it even though Mrs. Peters

Wild Style (1983) was a film that documented the real world of hip hop before most people even knew what hip hop was. This movie brings about the four crucial elements of hip hop - emceeing, graffiti, break-dancing, and deejaying. These features are the backdrop to the story of a graffiti artist named Raymond who lives in the South Bronx that goes by the name “Zoro”, who is played by well-known New York graffiti artist Lee Quinones. The movie goes through the tribulations of his life and relationship with Rose, while showing some of the historical aspects of hip hop.

This creative use of allegory by Williams significantly supports the theme of sexual intimacy and desires of the play due to its impactful sequence of literal events connoting the protagonist’s life. (322)

1.At the outset of the story, what are the gender roles of Delia Jones and Sykes Jones? What does the “bull whip” signify? (73-74)

One of the many conflicts in the play that relates to the theme of the play is the conflict of gender roles. Mr. Hale and Sheriff Peters make a big deal about the roles of what the woman should do in the house. They also make sure to point out what Mrs. Wright does not do a good job of to meet the needs of Mr. Wright. This in turn creates a conflict between the men and woman in the play that brings forth separation in the investigation. Instead of following the law the ladies decide to side with Mrs. Wright in understanding why she murdered her husband. This conflict is very important because in the end it leaves the murder a mystery and leaves the men with not enough evidence to convict the murderer. Another conflict in the play that contributes to the theme of isolation is the inner conflict of Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Wright is very isolated from the public by not having any friends, not talking to anyone in the public, and by not having anyone to talk to when she needs it. This conflict is very important because it leaves Mrs. Wright feeling very lonely and shows her isolation from the rest of civilization. The theme of isolation is presented through some of the conflicts that are presented in the

The relationship portrayed by Albee is one that is captivating and complex. It shows that underneath all the hate, there is also love; And the middle aged couple truly do understand and appreciate one another. Both characters depicted in this play have mastered the skills and use their

Comedy and tragedy would not seem to mix well, as they have opposite conclusions of happiness or sadness. To have comic and tragic plots within one play, then, can be argued as being too distinct to be coherent. In The Insatiate Countess, however, it is the differences between the tragic plot of the countess, Isabella, and the comic plot of Abigail and Thais, that strengthen the play’s message supporting loyalty in friendship.

Williams’s play is a tragedy, and one of quietude. He once expressed that “Glass Menagerie is my first quiet play, and perhaps my last.” It is a play of profound sadness, and through relationships between characters, portrays the “cries of the heart.” There is no cry more powerful that the cry and inner desperation of the heart. Williams’s has very little social context, but rather focuses on the conflicts within a domestic family. Such a focus is powerful, and the playwright expresses this power and importance implicitly through the estranged relationship between Amanda and Tom Wingfield.

Jasper Jones is a novel based Australian mystery and drama filled film directed by Rachel Perkins, which premiered in 2017. The protagonist of the plot is a 14 year old boy called Charlie Buctan whose life changes when the town’s only Aboriginal boy approaches his window in the middle of the night for help in covering the dead hanging body of Gywn Wishart from a tree. Charlie reluctantly helps in drowning her body into the lake, beginning their adventure to find the true culprits of the murder while unravelling many secrets and social issues. The film explores and shows its audience its genres of mystery, drama and thriller using the themes surrounding racism, secrets, guilt and sympathy through the use of cinematography techniques, sounds and the plot. These themes and genres of the film are supposed to be depicted in the collage titled “Charlie’s Mind Map,” which I constructed to show a finished product of the mind-map Charlie started in the film, yet with the addition of portraying its themes and genres to the audience of teenagers whom may have possibly viewed the film.

All relationships go through both good and bad times. Some last through the ages, while others quickly fall into nothing. In Terrence McNally’s “Lips Together, Teeth Apart,” the heart of this haunting play is a dramatically incisive portrait of two married couples—the Truman’s and the Haddocks. Uncomfortable with themselves and each other, they are forced to spend a Fourth of July weekend at the Fire Island house that the brother of one of the women left his sister when he died of AIDS. Though the house is beautiful, it is as empty as their lives and marriages have become, a symbol of their failed hopes, their rage, their fears, and of the capricious nature of death. The theme of love and death in relationships is quickly developed, as

The play begins in Mrs. Wright’s kitchen. The Sheriff, county attorney, and a few neighbors are there because Mrs. Wright’s husband has been murdered. The question is, who murdered him and why? Could Mrs. Wright be a tragic hero? The men are in the process of investigating the murder, but the women are more worried about the appearance of the house. While the women are in kitchen discussing the appearance of the kitchen and the fact that Mrs. Wright was worried about her fruit preserves, the county attorney makes the comment, “I guess before we're through she may have something more serious than preserves to worry about.” (3) Mrs. Hale responds with, “Well, women are used to worrying over trifles.” (3)

During the 1940's, children's strictly grew up by standards of the parent's. Enduring the constant years of smothering and stuffage, relationships starts to fall apart, especially in families. In order to gain freedom, those children's rebel. Through the analysis of Tom from the Glass Menagerie and Biff from Death of a Salesman, one may recognize that both characters develop the common theme of dreams, hopes, and plans are necessary to survive. Furthermore, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller explores these themes and the similarities the main character's have in the plays; The Glass Menagerie and Death of a Salesman.

In the fictional play Our Town written by Thornton Wilder, he uses a stage manager, Mr. Morgan, to tell the story. His idea was to use a metatheatrical style in his work. Wilder uses modern stage presentation by experimenting with a scene-less stage, flexible jumps in time sequence, and imaginary props. There was no scenery nor a stage curtain used in this play. Wilder’s purpose in using a bare stage was to set his audience free from the meaningless particularity of the box-set. This play explores traditional American values of religion, and the simple pleasures in life. He tells us the story of a small town life back in the 1900s. This is a world that most of us have never experienced before. For example, there

August: Osage County is a well-acted play that is generally about a family that falls apart. That is something that almost everybody has in common. This play could very well be realistic according to the situations that were being displayed, dialogue being used and the setting of the play. The play speaks about real people in everyday situations, dealing with common problems that almost everybody’s family has once had to deal with such as suicide, divorce, children growing up faster than expected and much more. These types of situations go on in our everyday lives. Also, within this play it presents an everyday conversation in a succinct, direct way. The dialogue hits with full force within the context of the play and the drama plays out between the characters. Additionally, the most realistic factor in the play was the set design. The setting is in a large county home outside of Pawhuska, Oklahoma which reflects the society and culture in which people live. The set design fitting in with the play being almost a three-story home with a kitchen, dining room, Violet’s room door and an attic. This everyday setting helped contribute to the power of the play, making it easier for the audience to be able to understand and relate to.
