Time really is the essence of the play. Time is life. But time changes things and this is what the characters find they cannot cope with change. One wonderful and resonated text is relied on its typical characters. When we look back into the history of texts, we easily find that there are many timeless characters memorized by us. Summer of the Seventeenth Doll and On Our Selection are two classical examples indicating the legend of characters, which are meaningful and functional to the texts and

Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, by Ray Lawler was a ‘bottling’ performance. A highly effective use of lighting, set design, props and additional sensory stimulus; were powerful tools in creating a realistic production. The skilful use of the elements of drama; human context; language, movement, mood and dramatic tension, enabled the audience to relate to the characters and plot. The development of sub-plots also added to the creation of a realistic performance, by mirroring the human condition. Through

tragi-comedy but more than the ideas raised in the statement the play is about change and the inability for some to deal with it, the battle between dream and reality and loyalty and mateship. It also serves as a social document of Australia in the 1950s. Lawler uses symbols, the actions of the characters, the structure of the play and mise-en-scene to effectively portray his feelings to the audience. The main theme expressed in the play is change and the characters' inability to cope with this. Like many

Examining the work of Playwright Ray Lawler: Every once in awhile, an Australian playwright comes out of the fabric of time to capture the life of modern Australia. The work of playwright Ray Lawler includes three pivotal plays relevant to modern Australian society. These three plays are Kid's Stakes, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, and Other Times. These plays exemplify something that had not been done before. Namely, a description of Australian society in the 1950s as it was. The Summer of

After months of speculation and media hype, we’re merely a day away from Kell Brook squaring up to decorated champion Gennady Golovkin at The O2 Arena in London. Boxing fans around the world can’t wait to feast their eyes on what is set to be a huge fight. Brook, currently the IBF welterweight champion, carries an impressive unbeaten record (36-0) after 36 fights, winning 25 of them by knockout. Despite the stellar record he boasts, Brook will go into the fight as the underdog, seeking to pull

Chapter Four: Todd Grayson & lAPORSHA BROWN Todd grayson is unkind, courageous, jealous, and seemed to be showing a few traits of his father, Shawn. Todd always seemed to have a odd look on his face, as if he was hiding something. At only 6 years old he was caught shop lifting on numerous occasions and was already starting to hang out with a few of the bad kinds on the street. This put his mother Laporsha in a tough spot when it came to her parenting. She wanted all the help she could get for

Can you see the light? As the burning of petroleum-based fuels, natural gases, and coal continues, smog will continue to cover the sky. Pollution from said burning occurs as greenhouse gases and chemicals. Specifically, petroleum-based fuels, natural gases, and coal release energy when heat breaks the bonds between hydrogens and carbons, generating energy and releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. This energy often originates from stored energy preserved in organisms that eventually died

effects of a light ray reflecting at different angles of incident from a convex, flat, and convex mirror. In the second part a light ray will be refracted through a rhombus prism at different angles of incidence. We will measure the angles using a protractor. For the third experiment we will examine the indices of colors as light is refracted through the rhombus. Lastly, we will use polar lens to examine Brewster’s angle and polarization. THEORY PART A: REFLECTION When a light ray hits a point on

I have always been interested in the way light travels, not just in how, but also in all the other factors that affect the light rays, including the speed, the velocity, the distance, as well as others. In my past years of school, I had been able to explore areas of physics concerning light rays, as part of my physics course. However, I had previously only learned the basic principles, such as the laws of refraction and reflection. Because I chose to focus on Chemistry and Biology, I was not given
