The play A Memory of Lizzie is a fictional look at the childhood years

For Play assignment #1 I was fortunate enough to experience a play by the name of “Lydia”, by Octavio Solis at the Blkbox Theater on June 16th 2016. This play portrays a plethora of themes throughout its performance. Perhaps, the most important theme shown throughout this play is family relationships and secrets and it is shown multiple times throughout this play. Other themes like homophobia, sex and the “Perfect American Family” were all seen throughout this play as well. However, they all had one vital connection which was the importance of family and secrecy. During Act 1 the Flores family welcomes Lydia into their home. Lydia is an undocumented woman who is there to take care of their daughter Ceci who is immobilized due to a car accident

What would you do if you were forbidden to meet your friends because of their race? What would you do if your loved ones were facing racial oppression? While it seems extremely hard for me to imagine that situation, however this truly happens in Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, a thoughtful novel written by Gary D. Schmidt. There are several central idea the author brought up in this powerful story, such as racism, friendship, and family relationship. In my opinion, the most important idea that run the whole story would definitely be social justice. Taking a consideration on the American fundamental beliefs and values, people are making sustained efforts to achieve the attainment of the common good through social justice. The world will never be destroyed by those evil, but by those bystanders who literally do nothing to stop the violence. In order to fight for social justice and protect his friends, Turner decided to stand up to the authorities, so did Mrs. Cobb, his mom, even his dad, the minister of the town who was once part of the destruction plan. Mr. Buckminster changed his side over time and even died for it

“Fact has been suppressed by fiction, and the fiction is much more interesting to a lot of people.” Lizzie Borden, a thirty-two year old daughter of Andrew Borden and step-daughter of Abby Borden, was accused of murdering her father and stepmother. Lizzie Andrew Borden was innocent. She did not kill her father and stepmother for a number of reasons. Lizzie Borden was innocent because there was no physical evidence, she wasn’t nervous during the investigations, and there was no reason for her to kill them. Lizzie Borden was an innocent, desolate woman who deserved better than being accused for a serious case. Lizzie Borden did not injure her father and stepmother for the same reasons you wouldn’t kill your parents.

On a hot morning on august 4, 1892, Mr. Andrew Borden and his wife, Abby Borden, were brutally murdered. A daughter of the victims, Lizzie Borden was arrested, tried and acquitted of the crime. “ She was a woman of spotless character and reputation, and more than that she was educated, refined and prominently connected with the work of the Christian church in the Fall River”(Gates 2).The town and the country were divided in their opinions of who could commit such horrifying murders. Many theories have been made to explain that day; the finger has been pointed in every direction- even a Chinese Sunday school student of Lizzies. To this day people are unsure as to weather or not Lizzie brutally murdered her parents.

There have been many female serial killers throughout history. Two stand out in particular, Hannah Mary Tabbs and Lizzie Borden. Both women, brutally dismembered their victims before they killed them. Both women were tried for their murders and both went to jail for their crimes. Lack of forensic evidence helped both of these women in their cases. Even though it is pretty clear that these women were responsible for the murders. There was no proof that they actually committed their crimes. Judges often are more lenient on women. Why? Is it because they think that women need a lighter sentence? Could it be that the judges think about the roles of housewife or mother? Women, no doubt should be treated equally to men, especially when it comes to a sentencing. If the woman was man enough to do the crime, she is man enough to serve the time.

On April 9th, 1940 Germany penetrated Denmark, it was an event that would change the course of Lizzie's life forever. For being engrossed in war is what most of the 1940s is known for.

Doll's House Lit Analysis Paper Even though this play was originally written 1879 it still remains a classic and is taught in many classrooms still. This play was very “out there” at the time it was written considering it covered subjects like STD’s. It also talked about the patriarchal society that was in place at the time of writing.

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice published in 1813 has boundlessly inspired individuals to adapt this story in various creative contexts. The story divulges the adversities lashed against women in an era where class elucidated your social position and marriage was an absolute necessity. In the story, Elizabeth Bennet is a catalyst that transcends these injunctive boundaries of a customary marriage based on one's social position by vanquishing her prejudices against Mr. Darcy’s arrogant pride to redefine the true meaning of love. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries are a 2012 American drama web series created by Bernie Su that was adapted from the novel Pride and Prejudice.

Jane Studdock has presented the overall theme of time, memory, and transformation throughout the novel. The timing of her dreams and visions constantly showcase events that seem to always take place in the past or near future. It presents to us that the past, and even future, is always out of reach and how “...time is more important than we thought.” (279). Timing can prevent and or shape different outcomes if computed just right. Yet, Jane displays an absence of the regulation of time for she cannot conquer or manipulate it. Her memory is often seen as remembering very important information and associating that with the present situation she is in. As well, we are also presented with her thoughts and dialogue within her mind due to feelings, emotions, and speculations she won’t dare react to in real life. Her memory is very sacred to everyone around her as she typically connects her memories with her visions to help with St. Annes.
