The Boys Next Door Analysis

The technical aspects of the production such as scenery, properties and costumes also played a keynote in the productions success. The scenery was fabulous it truly made the play. It was very realistic and extremely vibrant. Almost the entire play was performed in one setting, except for the railcar and dance scenes. The house, the main setting, was magnificent with painstakingly placed detail in every corner. All elements in the house matched wonderfully, for example the furniture, the photos on the wall, the telephone and even the trash can. Little bits of detail were everywhere adding to the beautification of the set, for example the lace decorations on the chairs, the etched glass above the front door and even the Christmas tree.

An individual’s growth is induced by their experiences of and response to discovery. The extent of their discovery is determined by their will to embrace the process and the connections made. Discoveries can provoke unexpected emotive responses, as did the journey undertaken by the participants in Ivan O’Mahoney’s documentary Go Back To Where You Came From. Else, they may result in the desire to re-evaluate perceptions of the world, made evident in Tim Winton's short story, Neighbours. Both texts explore the experience of self discovery through which the development of profound new understandings and perceptions allowing the individuals to form deeper relationships with themselves and the world around them. These ideas are made evident

The set was designed in a way that was very versatile and yet, still convey a serious message. By versatile, I am implying that the open-stage with two ramps crossing each other in the background was plain and simple but served a purpose of several scenes -- such as a bar, church, and even a funeral. A set prop that were a key pieces in the play were the wooden benches, these made it possible for the actors to switch scenes. Some examples on the usage of the benches were when they stacked two benches one on top of another and turned it into a bar, they turned the bench in a vertical position and created a podiums to express different religions, or setting the benches in a close and aligned design to create a church. Other props that influenced the scenes were snow, umbrellas, then using the umbrellas as angel wings, and of course lighting. Instead of building entire sets, or making the audience use their imagination with no props included in the play, the set designers and directors created visuals that were ordinary objects and interacted the audience to use their imagination and "build" the appropriate set for the scene in their minds. I believe by keeping a low budget, the designers of The Laramie Project accomplished a bigger impact on the audience with a simple-low-budget set rather than an expensive-big-fancy set.

Justin Rollins, raised in the streets of South-London, was deprived of a childhood where he fought for purpose in a world filled with racism and violence. In his book “The Lost Boyz” he tells us the crucial events which occurred throughout his upbringing which shaped his journey through his teenage years. This essay will critically evaluate the theories and explanations for Rollins’ offending behaviour using a wide range of criminological perspectives.

The Outsiders is about the Greasers and the Socs seeing their differences in a new way and learning that they aren’t as different as they think. The theme of “The Outsiders” is ‘crossing over the gap between the rich and the poor’. The author conveys this through character, symbols and events. S.E. Hinton shows the theme by everyone having their own personal suffering.

St. John argues that when individuals fear change, it creates more problems and conflicts. However, if people were to embrace change, then this would enhance the lives of all people involved.

The movie Boyz in the Hood premiered in theaters in 1991. It was written and directed by John Singleton. It was also nominated for best director, and best original screen play. This paper will explore the four aspects and causes of gang violence.

Boyz in the hood depicts gang culture and demonstrates it though the story line protagonist, Tre. This movie shows the life of the character Tre and what he observed while growing up in south central L.A.

She ultimately makes the decision to have him live with his father. The scene opens with a young Tre fighting at school. There his teacher believed so strongly in him that she worried about his future. To therefore Reva decides to send him to his dad. Another scene shows where doughboy, Ice Cube went to jail for stealing and years later when he was released he joined a gang.

The set was designed by Amy Campion's who did a great job of placing the actors strategically in the center of the raised stage with an overlooking balcony, that gave an added dynamic to the scene changes. Brett Maughan's was responsible for lighting the show and using spotlights to add to the conflict happening in any given

The play took place at Edmonton, Alberta in January (placed on the calendar) during a snowstorm. This was a one set production, set in a kitchen, with a dining table with multiple foods such as ice cream sundaes, and souvlaki dinner. I found that they had an amazing set up, it looked genuine and real. They did a great job in creating a detailed kitchen set with a fridge, sink,

Terrifying concentration camps with hostile leaders. Battling Hitler in the Olympics. These frightening and dramatic novels explore the topic of whether either the protagonists in both Night, by Elie Wiesel, and Boys in the Boat, by Daniel James Brown, can truly fight back from adversity. In Night, a heart-wrenching tale is told of a young boy and his family being stolen from their homes and forced into cramped camps. Little by little, we see young Elie Wiesel growing up to slowly lose everything he once had and completely changing as a person, yet gaining heaps of resilience in the process.

The social stratification of people can be affected by many things. In most cases people are affected by economic factors. In class we watched documentaries that shows different economic struggles and other structural inequalities. The documentaries were Violence Next Door: Growing up in the Favelas and The Other Side of Immigration. They both showed different economic factors from different places.

The play was performed on a black box theater, no props and only the sound effects one man can make by himself. I liked how minimal the play was, really just a good storyteller with some lighting effects; no costumes or

A relationship between a father, and a son is normally really strong, but in the road it has to be even stronger and they have to trust each other if they want to survive this post apocalyptic wasteland.

The set and props where very compact and were built and moved on and off by the cast because they are designed to be transferred by one person. The props where all cleverly done, for instance they made a bridge out of three ladders, a train out of four boxes and a house from just one door. The door I thought was one of the best props used because the cast managed to make a fairly small stage appear huge just by moving the door and pretending each time that it was a new room every time they passed through it. At one point in the play Richard and Pamela ask the scottish landlords for a sandwich and they come back with a loaf of bread cut in two with one slice of lettuce in the middle, this was such a simple idea but made a big deal and a laugh out of it

The setting on this play all took place in a house. Kilgore College did a great job coming up with this set and it actually looked like the inside of a house. From the kitchen to the bedrooms it was all around a great design. I enjoyed the set of the play and everything was perfect. Every little detail was added and Kilgore did not cut any corners on the set of this play. Every bedroom had posters and the couches had pillows. Small things like that all make the play seem more real and Kilgore did a great job all around with the set.
