How do the different classes (upper, middle, working) throw birthday party? Before I talk about how they throw their birthday party. Im going to explain my experiment is going to talk about how they react differently in their party. And when I say classes I mean rich people who their parents give them money, and middle class who are barely getting through, and working class are who went to college, but most likely she/ he dropped out of school/ collage to start work for he/ she family. The hook that I pick is social cuing. What is social cuing? In Opening Skinner 's Box: John Darley and Bibb Latane experiment of the smoke coming from the vent is a hook is social cues." They, decieded, based on the social cues of the confederates, rather than the material evidence, to interpret the emergency use harmless failure of the air-conducting system, and under the spell of that story, they just k=hacked away until many minutes had passed, and there was a fine white film in there and , in their lips, and the examiner came in and called it off"(104). So social cuing mean is like doing/imitation and like what professor Clark says" monkey see monkey do. So if you do it the other will do the same thing too. In you 're head, maybe you 're going to say why I pick class? So I 'm going to explain it, I pick class because to see how they react difficulty to upper class to working class or working class to middle class.

Harold Pinter belongs to the group of the twentieth century absurdist playwrights who came to become known as the innovators of an Avant-garde style in their playwritings by breaking away from the old concepts of morality, religion and sentimentality. The post world war playwrights and writers such as Beckett, Eugene Ionesco, Genet, Adamov and T. S. Eliot became well aware of the social, political and economic tribulations that jeopardized the existence of modern man. The utter helplessness of man and his futile efforts to escape resulted in the emergence of the theories of absurdism and existentialism, and there was a shift in the definition of what was considered the real and the unreal. Harold Pinter’s play “The Birthday Party” explicates the sense of absurdity of human life trapped in a claustrophobic atmosphere. The theme of absurdism in Pinter’s “The birthday Party” consists in the playwright’s implication that there is no logical progression of the plot.

The party started to take place in an outdoor location and the police attended asking for the party location to be moved on, this was agreed to happen and did.

All I can remember is my piercing red blood dripping on the bone-chilling surface of the ice skating rink. I restrained myself from looking down at my hand, knowing I wasn’t going to be pleased with the results. The thought of being fingerless traumatized me. I laid my hand on the cold surface where I had fallen, hoping that it would numb the pain. I said to myself, “It shouldn’t be that bad, just take a look.” I began to slowly move my head downward, thinking about the worst possibilities. Once I set my watery blue eyes on my finger I let out a roaring scream.

It was July 17, 2015 (My birthday). I got to choose who came to my to my birthday party and who did not.My mom told me that I could only invite 10 people. I did not know that when she meant 10 people I could only invite nine because I was one of them. I was upset because I had 10 people on my list to come to my birthday and I did not know that my mom counted me as one of them. I to choose which friend to not invite it was between Coal Reasoner or Craig Kepler I New Cole more than craig so I chose Cole over Craig.I felt like there was a lesson in this moment. Voice to never let your mom outsmart you.Even though Craig was not at my party I had really fun we went to the bowling alley and I got a bunch of strikes.Craig never knew about this party but he might seem suspicious because the next year at my birthday party I invited him and he asked me why did you not invite me last year. I acted like I did not hear him and kept on putt putting.It was almost the end of the whole Craig and I were tied and it was the 18th hole. no one else was even close to Ours scores we were only plus +3 and everyone else was like + 8. Because it was my birthday everyone was cheering for me to win. I didn't really care but I felt like I did not have as much pressure as Craig did. I was up first because we chose birthday boys to go first I was up I am to my shot and it did not go in it was a par 6 so I was fine I was about 15 feet away with a sand dun in my way. My next shot I got past the sand dun

“Something is WRONG, why can’t I find my Iphone!!!” The year was 1954 September 23rd, my 32nd Birthday. I was really nervous about something very important, this was my first annual family reunion. Some of the people coming to this event are Mary Kelly and her cute golden retriever Sir Rocky. Mrs Agothy and her husband Mr Mathers and their two children Nick and Tiffany.

Here I go, Splash! That was an epic cannonball. I was so excited when my 11th birthday rolled around. I woke up, scrambled up the stairs and yelled “ everyone in the car NOW! We have a party to get too.” When we first got to the campsite at Yogi Bear, I got my bathing suit on and jumped in the lake. When my friend, Harper, showed up we both got on the lake then we went to the JUMPING PILLOWS! I love the jumping pillows although I did get banned from them when we left because I was doing FLIPS! Oops.

Growing up i learned that i needed to mature at a younger age compared to my peers. I understood that a low-income, minority i needed to work hard to achieve my goals. One experience that shaped my life happened this past year. My family and I were evicted from our home a couple of days before my birthday and right before the holiday season. This made me stronger but it also changed something inside me. I learned that life isn't a game and that i should be grateful for what i have, because one day I could lose it all.

Technically, silence can be defined as the absolute absense of sound. In human interaction, however, the boundaries of this definition may fade. In that case, it is not the total absense of sound but the absense of speech that determines the silence within a conversation. According to Harold Pinter, this conversational silence can be divided into two categories: "one when no word is spoken. The other when perhaps a torrent of language is being employed". In other words, one kind of silence occurs when two people are quiet and not talking to one another. The other, the "torrent of language", concerns what can be read between the lines, or the real truth behind what is being said. This latter may not be a genuine silence, but in Pinter's plays,

On our way from the professor’s office, it was so dark in the streets I almost tripped on the end of the sidewalk. Then I remembered that it was our Birthday today. I was so excited because all of our family was there. Our house was all decorated with sports stuff, like banners, streamers, and balloons all over. We both turned around and said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." then "JINKS."

'I can 't bare to tell them the truth, it 's, it 's uh, too, scarring. I fucking killed my own best friend, at her own birthday party too. ' That horrid memory has been eating me alive since I was three, 'Yeah when you killed her. '

It is important to pay attention to the style of the play for enhancing its discussion. Harold Pinter is commonly associated with the movement called the Theatre of the Absurd. Dramatic works of this movement have their own philosophy and differ a lot form traditional plays.
