The Second World War began when Germany violated international law and invaded Poland in 1939. When the war began, huge amounts of human rights were violated by the major powers. “The Table,” by Ida Fink is a play that describes the recording of statements given by multiple witnesses on behalf of a war crime that occurred. The prosecutor in charge interviewed 4 people who were present during the crime and took note of their testimony. The interview seemed more like an interrogation, since the prosecutor wanted every detail from that day. Although a work of fiction, the tales of atrocity provided by the witnesses in the play represent the magnitude of brutality the Nazis implemented on civilians.…
''POOF'' was an interesting play. I like how the play focused on the many problems that goes on in a abusive relationship. The crazy thing about an abusive relationship is that the person that's getting abuse usually blame themselves for there partners actions. They feel that it's there fault that there partners is doing this. The person that's getting abuse generally feels that their doing something wrong to angry their partners. In the play Loureen is saying it's her fault that her husband died and that it's her fault that this happen and Florence says '' What's your crime?, Speaking your mind?'' (pg.1566). Florence is trying to show her that what happen today wasn't your fault just because you spoke your mind doesn't mean that this was your…

In 1963 a play known as The Crucible by Arthur Miller, was written based on the Salem Witch Trial in the late 17th Century. Since then the play has been performed numerous times, the first of which took place on January 22, 1953 and since then has been readapted into a film directed by Nicholas Hytner. Although these two are very similar, there are several differences between the way the play is written and the way the movie adaptation presented it. This could be seen in the differences in Scenes as well how the Characters, and the settings all changed in various ways throughout the movie.…
Another example of an activity which could link into multiple developmental areas is role play in the home corner. Children acting out things they have seen in the home environment shows an understanding of their world. The children might use numbers when counting the number of apples they can find in the fruit bowl or how many bowls they need to feed all of the dolls. By playing together and sharing they are developing their personal, social and emotional skills. The children will talk as they play and make noises, meaning they are communicating.…
In the play “The Crucible” they did things in my opinion that were not humane, like killing people by crushing them with rocks, or hanging them. Both of them are not good ways to die. For one they would be very painful, and secondly your death could be prolonged. I do believe that our justice system has come a long way from hangings and such.…
I attended the evening performance of Guys and Dolls on Thursday 17. Directed by Leiz Moore, Guys and Dolls is cast from the Musical Theatre Crew, with appearances from guest performers Jeff Michael and Andrew Hawkey. It was shown at the Playhouse Theatre. Guys and Dolls is a 1950’s Broadway comedy. Nathan Detroit, a gambler, needs a location to play his crap game which he has supposably stopped organising, according to his fiancé Adelaide. The only location left that the game can be played is in an automotive garage. The owner of the garage wants a thousand dollars before the gamblers can use his garage. To get this money, Detroit bets a fellow gambler Sky Masterson, that he cannot take a “doll” to dinner with him in Havana.…
This educator includes activities in her lesson plan purposely for social learning. Children are presented with activities that require working together to complete a task, for example, using manipulatives to build or create something. Another area of focus to establish social skills is in the dramatic area. A lot of interaction and pretend plays occurs in the dramatic area. Children pretend play the roles of their parents. As Winter and Hollingsworth (2013) state, "practices that support those pretend play focused on setting pretend play scenarios and helping children play in those scenarios" (p. 1758). This author agrees with her statement. At Head Start, our first main goal is to encourage and model positive social skills. In the dramatic area, teachers spend time interacting and socializing with the children. This is a great opportunity to teach children how to interact and expand their pretend…
"For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth" (Bo Bennett). Arthur Miller once wrote a play that had a scandalous lie called, "The Crucible." A crucible can be a metal container where other substances may be melted or subjected to be very temperatures. It also can be a situation of severe test or trials. The play relates so much to the title because a crucible separates the good from the bad when pressure is applied, and due to that there was a trial going on in the characters lives that was a life or death situation. Characters in the play changed as individuals based on religion, fear, acceptance.…

Since the beginning of time writers haven chosen a variety of themes to include in their works. The most widely used and complex theme is love. Love is not a specified as a certain feeling or action. For centuries literary plays have employed love into accomplishing their intended outcome of their play. The theme of love emphasizes mutual love, mutual esteem and freedom to choose. Writers tend to make the theme of love become personal and understandable when coming to life in a play. Three writers made this possible in plays using the main theme of love. Three plays that show the complexity of love are “A Doll House” by Henrick Isben, “A Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams, and “A Midsummer…
Role-play: Having a role-play area in your setting can be fun for the children and help them communicate with other children. For example, in the role-play area in our setting it was a café, one child pretended to be the assistant while one child pretended to be the customer wanting to order some food. There was lots of conversations happening and gave me a chance to observe how well the children communicated.…
