Themes Of Sa 'Sa. Wannous And The Glass Café'

In the memoir, The Glass Castle, it was evident the Glass Castle was not just a physical object itself, but holds a deeper meaning of symbolism towards the author, Jeannette Walls. After completing the book, it has been noted that the Glass Castle symbolizes the constant reminder of Jeannette’s hope that one day both her family and house will be in a stable, working position. Throughout the novel, the Glass Castle was vaguely mentioned as the Walls family continued their journey through the United States. However, through their ongoing journey, Jeannette’s view of the Glass Castle changed, as it was inevitably just a vision that her father had implanted in her brain but never actually built in reality.

A short play is usually filled with a theatrical energy of diverse anthologies. The time allotted may be only ten or fifteen minutes, so it must be able to capture and engage the audience with some dramatic tension, exciting action, or witty humor. Just as in a short story, a great deal of the explanation and background is left for the reader or viewer to discover on their own. Because all the details are not explicitly stated, each viewer interprets the action in their own way and each experience is unique from someone else viewing the same play. Conflict is the main aspect that drives any work of literature, and plays usually consist of some form of conflict. In “Playwriting 101:

Throughout the work, Poe employs a seemingly simple ebony clock to symbolize the destined time of life, which no one can control. The clock is first introduced by describing the pendulum’s “dull, heavy, monotonous clang”, which automatically gives the idea that the clock is oppressive and evokes fear in both the readers and guests (Poe). As the story goes on, the characteristics of the clock unfold even more and reveal the emotions and actions it suggests. For instance, the clock’s “chiming imposes a start-stop movement on the festive

During the late 15th century by William Shakespeare, or more commonly known as Shakespeare wrote the play A Midsummer's Night Dream. Shakespeare was both a playwright and a poet, producing many famous pieces such as Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and the infamous Romeo and Juliet, along with over a hundred sonnets to name a few. In the play A Midsummer’s Night Dream, he writes of four young lovers who wander into the woods, and the trials they endure along the way. Within this story, Shakespeare also shows that it is not possible to control another person's actions because the two characters keep trying and failing to do so.

According to a 2017 study done by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, “More than 10 percent of U.S. children live with a parent with alcohol problems.” The author Jeannette Walls uses the book, The Glass Castle, to talk about her childhood struggles of growing up with an alcoholic father. The reason this book was appealing was because I grew up with an alcoholic father as well and I found it interesting to read about someone who had gone through similar situations. In the first 90 pages the author tells us about her chaotic family life. Her father, who is weary of civilization and authority, packs up the family camp often to roam around the desert. Due to their frequent moving her father is not able to keep a stable job,

Watching the play to kill a Mockingbird was a wonderful production that captures the audience attention. A playwright is a person who writes plays for that stage and also they create scripts that tell stories through the words and action of characters. Most of the playwright’s people work alone and some of the time they share the work of creating script with the actors and directors.

Subsequently, Jeannette Walls uses three initial themes to effectively convey her message to her readers. The first theme being the idea that families have the tendency to let each other down at some point. After a typical day of Rex vanishing from the house, Walls blantly states “I waited on the front steps until bedtime, but he never came home” (Walls 132). While this event alone may seem like a huge deal, Rex’s actions that night spoke volumes. Jeannette had asked for her dad to stop drinking for her birthday and, for a while, he had succeeded.

Plays were used for entertainment for many centuries. Starting with the Greek theaters, and lasting to this time in many different theaters, stages, and halls for the performance. One of the most proclaimed playwriters of his time is William Shakespeare. He could write his plays in such a way, everyone can have a different look on the characters and how the plot unfolds while they watched or read the plays. A great example is the play, “Hamlet” in which the main character Hamlet believes to go mad. Elizabethans used the term “mad” as losing one’s sanity. Many people believe in his madness, but there is prove it is a lie, when he talks to Ophelia causing her to believe he is crazy, how he uses it against the King and Polonius to hide his real intention of murder, and how he able to convince his mother

Suzan Lori-Parks emphasize that she does not think about theme, motifs, or a messages when she is writing her plays. She states that “a lot of people write twith ideas in mind. But I never really have ideas per se.. I have these movements, these gestrures, then I fifgured out how to put these gestrues into words”. She emphasizes that all her work is already in her head that she only has to let it out when she is writing. We can see Lori-parks emphasies on “just writing” by the 365 days-365 plays, which shows that she just writes, which helps her let out all the plays trapped in her mind. She is strongly influence by greek myths, which is seen in her play Venus, as well as the American Story. Her influences are shown in the play that is somewhat

Suzan-Lori is an American playwright, screenwriter, and novelist. Innovative and occasionally controversial and she is one of the most highly acclaimed African-American woman playwrights in contemporary theater. Reading the excerpts from Suzan-Lori Parks’ essays actually helped me because her main purpose in her writings is to guide newcomers (play writers) by offering some background information and ways to help on how to appreciate plays. Such as the Element of Style essay which is intended primarily for the new generation of theater makers. One thing that I liked the most about her way to guide new playwright that she never tells you what to add or not what to add in your plays. The only thing that she really emphasizes is that a playwright should ask themselves why they feel whatever they are writing have or should be a play? According to Parks “ the words “why”, “have” and “play” are key. If you don’t have an answer then get out of town. No joke. The last thing American theater needs is another lame play.” (Pg. 7) One thing that we should always do about playwriting is not to take anything for granted.

In Jinch Malrex the youth actors researched and created a play about different at risk teens. They each research different youth and draw on personal experiences and came together to write a play. In the play The Farm Show the actors in Miles’s theatre group all research what it was like being a farmer in Canada. In The Drawer Boy you got to see Mile’s experience researching what it was like being a farmer. Overall each play was written after researching and learning about the characters being

The craft of writing is a complex one, filled with characters,setting,plot and surprises. A book will take you on a journey through many different lands real or fake, this journey is filled with twists and turns stopping at the end of the road. Ishmael Beah is a writer who took readers on this journey twice.

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.

There is a “…gigantic clock of ebony” in the black room, its sound is described as “…clear and loud and deep and exceedingly musical, but of so peculiar a note and emphasis” (421). This suggests that the clock has importance, as it is a physical reminder of death. If the story did not use imagery, the reader’s interpretation of it would be completely different.

One of literature’s most distinguished plays, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, was written by the highly acclaimed William Shakespeare. Shakespeare was an individual of many talents; among those talents were poetry, acting, and playwriting. During his life, Shakespeare wrote a total of thirty-seven plays, one-hundred-seventy-four sonnets, and invented more than seventeen thousand of the words used in current English. A great number of those plays and sonnets have been translated in over eighty languages, some of which include Chinese, Uzbek, and Bengali. William Shakespeare’s works have been so widely used in the English language that he has become the second most quoted author in English. Because of Shakespeare’s great success, The Tragedy of
