The Rant By Andrew Case

Our play uses variety of styles, mainly Brecht’s epic theatre as our play depicts political message. Our play is structured as montage as it shows different stages of George’s life in a non-chronological order, we effectively did this

By having Everyman interact with these conceptualized characters, the author externalizes his inner conflict. Perhaps this technique seems too obvious or almost condescending to our more literate age, but whatever the case, it effectively conveys the central message of the play.

Shakespeare’s plays often start out with a narrator describing the scene and the events to come in the story. Unlike most novels, plays somewhat describe the plot in its opening, which can be seen here where the narrator says “our fellow citizens had not the faintest reason to apprehend the incidents that took place,” showing how the narrator is telling of future events. This allows the reader to connect to the characters by being able to follow them through the events that the reader now knows are coming. Another example is when a young boy is dying in a hospital while being surveyed by the main characters to test a possible cure: “Tarrou had been keeping watch and noting, stage by stage, the progress and remissions of the malady” (213). Like a play, Tarrou is watching “stage by stage” the progression of this child’s death; Camus is comparing the boy’s illness to the structure of a story, he is pointing out components within his own novel. His illness starts out slowly, and throughout his stay in the hospital his condition “progresses and remissions” like that of a plot that gains in action and resolution. A final example is when Cottard and Tarrou are at the performance of Orpheus within the novel: “Some rather jerky movements he indulged in gave our connoisseurs of stagecraft an impression of clever, if slightly overdone, effects, intended to bring out the emotion of the words he sang” (200). The actor playing Orpheus over performs his scene,

Also the excessively violent actions of the characters shock the audience at times and works to show a bloody part of American history. Furthermore, the film feels as if you are thrown into history with wood constructed sets and men armed with clubs and knives. These elements work to enhance the thematic content of the play and the viewer’s intense experience of an untraditional period piece that relates a different version of American history, one darker and more anarchic. They sets, accents, and character actions all add to the authentic feel of the movie, which makes the film feel like it is a historical narrative, while also being interlinked with an individual story of vengeance that provides not only a historical account, but entertainment for the

“Presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever,” declared by past President William Howard Taft. Dated in 1789, the Judiciary Act by signed by Congress, which was demanded by the United States Constitution. This past principal court was ruled by a Chief Justice and five Associate Justices, accordingly today we still have a Chief Justice, but we currently have eight Associate Justices. The current Supreme Court has John G. Roberts, Jr. as Chief Justice, and the following are the current Associate Justices: Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr., Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. Clarence Thomas, a conservative, best known as the second

The movement of Bekert causes a reaction from the crowd and guards, who force him back down the stairs in a chaotic struggle. By allowing the rise and fall of Bekert’s emotions from calm, to shock, to complete panic, a pattern is established for the remainder of the scene and supports the control the criminals have over Bekert’s fate.

The play can be seen as a general statement on the effects that fear and fanaticism can have on human beings and how one person can cause such catastrophe. It

In the play “Tape” we are introduced with an unspecified person and unknown attendant. From the start of it all, there seems to be a bit of tension, but we don’t know exactly why. This is all fine but if the play had gone on longer, the readers would’ve had a chance to become more absorbed in the meaning, thus being able to relate. We find out somewhere

“I wanted to take off my body like a jacket and leave it at the hospital with everything else.” These were the words of a victim of sexual assault at Stanford University in January of 2015, often remembered as the Brock Turner case. Turner, a member of the Stanford swimming team, was found guilty by the jury after being accused of sexually assaulting another Stanford student (whose identity has remained confidential) and ended up with a short sentence of six months (Victor). The sexual assault victim in the turner case is not alone. 1 in every 5 women and 1 in every 12 men are sexually assaulted during their college careers (NSVRC). In other words, between 20 and 25 percent of college women and 4 percent of college men report having been sexually

The break-even analysis helps us understand the minimum operating levels of the property before the bottomline is affected. The break-even occupancy is sustainable according to the estimated rates. Alison Green has the lowest break-even point at 64.84%. Ivy Terrace, the other apartment building, is 67.07%. Stony Walk and the Fowler Building, the two office complexes, are at 76% and 85.92%, respectively. This puts the highest risk of uncertainty and their effect on the returns to the office buildings. The cash flow projects for the 10 year holding period helps us understand the IRR and NPV of the project. When looking at the IRR we have to keep in mind that it assumes the cash flows will be re-invested at the IRR. Interest rates fluctuate over time, so this is an unrealistic assumption. Thus, the NPV analysis is the best projection for these properties. Page | 6

Elaine Betts is addressing Mr. William McMurtrie about changes that might be necessary for the survival of Dana Hall. This imaginary dialogue is based on a case study titled Dana Hall: Funding Mission article by McFarlan, Leonard & Tritter, 2006.

For example, he swayed his hand to and fro while one lantern was centered on him, creating a shadow on the wall. When the narrator was executing his “ingenious” plan for murder, he slowly entered the room, crouching down for what seemed like an eternity, and opened the lantern to shine light on his victim, showing his vulture-eye, therefore giving the narrator the motivation to kill him and giving the audience an uneasy feeling. The narrator's body language showed tension as he was anticipating the right moment to kill the old man and as he was lightly conversing with the police officer. During the majority of the play, the narrator would laggardly ascend and descend the stairs which captured his increasing uneasiness. The actor's true skill in portraying his character was most perceptible as he carried out the murder of the old man. He kills and dismembers him happily, clearly showing the audience that the character is in an unhealthy mental state. Additionally, the narrator continually explains to the audience that he is not insane and attempts to prove it by explaining his master plan of murdering and hiding the old man. However, the more the narrator explains to us how sane he believes himself to be, the more we believe he is not. To represent a change in setting, the narrator opens an imaginary door and paces up and down the stairs. To show time progressing, the narrator
