     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

On the night of the show, one is filled with anticipation of seeing the play laced with a hint of ambiguity because of not knowing just what to expect. Getting dressed and arriving at the theatre brings about more enthusiasm; once the mixture of people with different cultures and expectations is seated in the theatre one experience an ardor of emotions. The interaction with the crowd sounds of low chatter and sight of the person's attire add to the excitement of being in a place that can make the magic happen.

In the play “Grand Concourse,” the talented playwriter and actress Heidi Schreck develops a plot based on the natural human conflict about the forgiveness toward unintentional actions. Heidi Schreck is a recognized writer who has been awarded with one-year residency by New York's Playwrights Horizons (Silk Road Rising 17,18). Named after the main street of the Bronx in New York City, the play shows the conflict that its characters face in the internal war between goodness and evil. The opposition between the actions of Emma (antagonist) and Shelley (protagonist) shows the complexity of human compassion towards the evil (sometimes unintentional) actions. Looking at the main actions of Emma in the play she egotistically seems to manipulate all the characters to feel better about herself. However, a deeper glazing indicates that her depression leads her to hurt people around her unintentionally; she tries to get forgiveness, but she realizes that the solution it is more complex that just an apologize.

This story begins to drive the sense of emotion with the very surroundings in which it takes place. The author starts the story by setting the scene with describing an apartment as poor, urban, and gloomy. With that description alone, readers can begin to feel pity for the family’s misfortune. After the apartments sad portrayal is displayed, the author intrigues the reader even further by explaining the family’s living arrangements. For example, the author states “It was their third apartment since the start of the war; they had

Powerful and well-crafted novels spin from archaic yet timeless tales. Thus leaving readers to find their solace between the conflicts and turmoil within the plot. A vast majority of stories contain paradoxical themes and morals that consequently, temporarily confuse the reader, and creating their interpretation of the novel. The Time Traveler’s Wife contains themes of love, fate against free will, time, and more messages written between the lines. Henry DeTamble has a genetic disorder called Chrono-Displacement, which causes him to become temporarily displaced in time against his will. Therefore, it is possible to meet his determined soulmate, Clare Abshire when she is six, and he is thirty-eight- also when she is twenty, and he is twenty-eight. Alternating between childhood and adulthood perspectives, Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife contains a problematic love story that portrays the consequences of isolation due to a predetermined belief in love, evident in Clare’s monotonous life. Moreover, the novel illustrates that living according to destiny oppresses a fulfilling lifetime. Many instances throughout the book that demonstrate this are The List, Alba’s conception, and Henry’s final letter.

Throughout two different chapters of the novel Let the Great World Spin, characters Claire and Tillie both endure the loss of their children. Given their opposing environments and circumstances, their coping mechanisms greatly differ. Claire spends her every waking moment thinking about the son she lost to Vietnam, attending group meetings between Park Avenue mothers like herself, who also lost their sons in the war. Her mind is scattered, anxious and constantly worrying about every detail of her daily life: If her house looked alright, what people would think of her if it didn’t, every little word she spoke, the tone of her voice, and so on. Her grief was depicted as long and painful, “She lay two…out of it.” (89) On the other hand, the middle-aged prostitute grandmother Tillie carries the guilt of being a failed and horrific mother. In her jail-time reflection piece, she admits her wrongdoings, “By the time…I made that.” (218). She had taken the fall for her

She moves out as a result of her husband abusive character. She tries to get accepted into the society that already has a misconception about her. That she is promiscuous. She was raped by her teacher, which is the reason of her early teen pregnancy. The society judges her as having no morals without the knowledge that her early pregnancy was as a result of the conflict that was directed toward her.

The visual that a play presents is a dominating factor in the quest to invite an audience member into a world of which they feel a part. In a play such as Bus Stop by William Inge, this is especially important because Grace’s Diner plays a primary role in the storytelling. Inge’s use of the iconic American diner to tell his story is ingenious. Simply setting eyes on the set inevitably evokes pleasant feelings of familiarity and comfort in the minds of most audience members. A diner is a place where people gather; a place where individuals from different backgrounds share a similar experience. Inge crafted his characters meticulously in order to create contrast, conflict, and chemistry that would drive the plot through the forced

Sense Claire’s father is very wealthy he just tries to buy Claire’s love and keep her happy. According to Steinberg, “ indulgent parents behave in an accepting, benign, and more passive way in matters of discipline. They demand’s very little, giving the child a high degree of freedom to act as he or she wishes” (Steinberg, 2017, p.106). This statement proves that Claire Standish’s father demonstrates a an indulgent parenting style because he drops off Claire and wishes her nothing but the best while in detention but yet does not seems to have much to say concerning Claire being in detention and her actions. As for Claire’s mother, who comes from a poor family and is a drunk, she gives Claire a very big lecture after finding out what her consequence were for her actions.

Pierre Duham was a French physicist and a philosopher of science; one of his beliefs unlike scientists before him that physics was not any less important than the belief of the omniscient and that physics should be studied completely separate from metaphysics. Speaking of physicists, most believe in the importance of conducting experiments in order to get complete accuracy. There’s the experiment of application in which physicists conduct to draw on theories, and then there’s the experiment that’s responsible to prove or disprove a law or theory. Well Duhem believes that experimentation in physics does not refute a hypothesis, all it does is show that there’s a mistake within that hypothesis. He believes that if
