The Second Shepherd Analysis

The script shows ordinary people with everyday situations that many people would be able to relate to on one level or another. The experiences on display throughout the play can be understood by those who may live in small towns like the one in the script or those who reside in major urban areas.

Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night is based off the traditional Christian holiday – a day on which the normality of the world is turned upside down. On this particular day, the normal order of things is disrupted and the social standings of lower and upper social class members are reversed. The title is delightfully fitting for the play, as the storyline is comprised of comical disruption within the social decorum of Illyria. In this essay, I will examine how the carnival atmosphere of the Twelfth Night holiday is reflected in the way the play is constructed. Shakespeare introduces a topsy-turvy world where metaphoric boundaries are crossed with the created ambiguity of gender and the act of deception.

G.M. Shepherds illustrates through Bill Cummings his central points on sport being taken too seriously in Australia. Shepherd uses Bill to demonstrate how sport can bring out the worst in someone; at Bills’ son, Nicks, football game, his “rabid” behaviour over his sons unpromising sports career implies how it is essential for boys to succeed in sport for their parents to be proud of them. Shepherd demonstrates the disregard of diversity in disciplines as a country by highlighting the seriousness Australians demonstrate in regards to sport, implying how Australia could become a greater country if it concentrated on other objectives as well as sport. Ultimately, Shepherd centrals his views around being an open minded

Pastor David took an interesting approach to preaching this particular passage in which Jesus' feet are washed by the sinful woman who cleans his feet and anoints them with perfume to the ire of Simon the Pharisee. Jesus uses this as an opportunity to use a parable to teach about grace and its availability to everyone. After reading the passage he began to break down the different perspectives of the characters in the story as if analyzing a play. He examined the perspective of the woman, Simon, Jesus and the others at the dinner.

Firstly let us consider conflict. In each act of the play, we see the overpowering desire to belong leading to a climax of conflict

Let’s talk about the world about 2,000 years ago. It was a world where the mass of people were illiterate, taxes were extremely high, and the leaders would cheat and kill to feed their ever growing need for power. We all can relate to having a good storyteller in our lives, most were read to at night by their parents or are parents themselves that read to their children. What is the purpose of storytelling? It’s simple, comfort. A good story can ease your psychological unrest as well as offer a moral purpose. Sometimes you can even relate a story to your own life and offer an explanation to something you may be experiencing. This is exactly what the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were. They told their stories of Jesus to offer comfort to their people in a time when people could not pick up a story and read it themselves. It is part of human nature to have the desire for a good story. This paper will describe several events that were written by great storytellers in the bible.

This part of the play also shows that the family is not as happy as

Of all of the writer’s crafts, symbols represent my favorite craft. The multitudes of symbols in the play all helped me find the heart truth. That reason being, that each symbol embedded inside this play was there for a reason, it was there to be guiding points for the reader, me, to see what the author, Miller, wanted each reader to find and interpret themselves. The bible in the play represents the human’s downfall of their uncanny ability to make something out of nothing. On is the bible, “I have no knowledge of it; the Bible speaks of witches, and I will not deny them” (Miller 69).

production, the town seems to focus on the works of God versus the Devil. The play is about

First and foremost, the plot at the beginning of the stories starts at different points in time. In the play, the audience is immediately brought into the action and we already see the whole cast. Glaspell introduces us to the scene, describing the setting and each of the characters. The county attorney begins with words “This feels good. Come up to the fire, ladies” (558).

Novels and plays are two different forms of literature that are both capable of delivering similar messages. A novel is a type of literature that is meant to be read and excite the imagination as is shown in the novel “The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse.” On the other hand, a play is another form of literature that is meant to be acted and is based on conversations as is displayed in the play “fareWel.” Although both of these forms are uniquely different, they both are connected by the fact that they each are capable of telling a story and include a sequence of events. Therefore, a novel and a play may seem like total opposites yet they have the capability to produce similar messages to the readers.

Whether you drowned in the text in your final year of school, or saw it in that one ‘Simpsons’ episode in 2009, everyone at least, kind of knows the story of that curse’d Scottish Play. Yet, what you might not know is that the hardest part to nail about the play isn’t the language, but instead, the complex themes that run through the story. Throughout this tragic tale, countless characters succumb to the pressures of maintaining their macho-man status, while others use their new-found ‘manliness’ to accomplish unbelievable things. Masculine ambition is a theme that underpins the entire plot and is the unfortunate downfall of many great (and not so great) characters.

In the play Seven, the actors told the stories of their characters and opened our eyes on how much abuse all these seven women went through. One by one took turns explaining their stories, not all at once, but in a way to where they all intersect with one another in which I believe made the play even stronger. To begin with all of their stories went through every face of fear, humiliation, and torture. Yet, the women showed courage and fought back for what they believed was right. The first thing that I found very interesting was the walking around before the play even started.

To begin with, in this play the author unfolds family conflicts that involve its characters into a series of events that affected their lives and pushed them to unexpected ways.

shall firstly do a summery of the play and give a basic image of what
