    Our Town Notes Act 3

    The stage has been set with three rows of chairs, representing gravestones. At the end of the intermission, Mrs. Gibbs, Simon Stimson, Mrs. Soames, and Wally Webb, among others, take their seats. All of these characters have died in the intervening years between Act II and Act III, and the stage has become the local cemetery, situated at the top of a hill overlooking Grover’s Corners. The Stage Manager appears and announces that another nine years have passed—it is now the summer of 1913. The Stage Manager talks about the dead, telling us that the dead lose interest in the living and in earthly matters. He says that “everybody in their bones knows that something is eternal,”and that the dead spend their time waiting for this eternal part of their selves to emerge.…

    Tookie Williams Notes

    The primary issue brought to the table by Tookie's supporters, myself included, is that he could be of more benefit alive than dead. Yes, there were other defenses of him made light of. But very few insisting that he would go down as the next Malcom X. That was a straw man created by his opposition, as was the noble peace prize defense. Most of Tookie's supporters knew the Noble peace prize nomination meant nothing. It was the right wingers on A.M. radio that took that point, made by, mind you, few people, and turned it into a huge straw man by making it out to be the primary defense of Tookie by his supporters. In case you've been in a cave since the year 2000; The Republicans have been known to do such things.The worst that has come out of this entire ordeal is that white America has proven that they know even LESS bout inner city life than what white America knew a generation ago.Viacom makes ghetto life out to be glamorous. Go to a ghetto. There's nothing glamorous. It's still as f'd up as it ever was. Don't let the music videos fool you. They're commercials. Nothing more. Commercials for sneakers, jewlery, clothing, cars; Commercials. Not a realistic portrayal of inner city life.What's happening because of this is that middle class whites see these rap videos and think, "Oh, why should I feel bad for black people? Look at these guys with their bling bling". The truth is, the only people with the 'bling bling' are rappers, athletes, and the drug dealers in ghettos that make up for about 2% of it's population. It's top ramen noodles and second hand clothes for everyone else. Turn the t.v. off, give Rush Limbaugh a rest, and visit South Central Los Angeles. Go in the morning, so you won't be too freaked out. Rather your view changes on Tookie's sentence or not, you'll likely, at the very least, have a different perspective on how the gang cycle really works than that of the perspective that has been drilled into your head by the advertising industry, the…

    Berkoff Use Of Action Mime

    For the same scene we had also used an action mime technique. Action mime is when an actor uses a motif of mimed movements to contribute to the development of their character. Action mime is key to Berkoff’s Physical theatre because the performance style has a focus on movement and the body. I found this technique particularly helpful when I tried to embody the words as Berkoff intended and when I was developing Joey’s monologue. Berkoff believed that even if all the words from the scrip were taken from your performance the audience should still be able to determine what was happening in the performance just from the actor’s actions.…

    Girls: Debut Albums and Meeting

    2 BACK AT WHYTELEAFE. ELIZABETH was excited. The long summer holidays were almost over, and it was time to think of going back to school. Her mother, Mrs. Allen, was busy getting all her things ready, and Elizabeth was helping her to pack the big trunk, "Oh, Mummy, it's fun to think I'll see all my friends again soon!" said Elizabeth. "It's lovely to be going back to Whyteleafe School once more. The winter term ought to be great fun," Her mother looked at Elizabeth and laughed. "Elizabeth," she said, "do you remember what a fuss you made about going away to school for the first time last term? Do you remember how you said you would be so naughty and disobedient that you would soon be sent back home again? I'm glad to see you so happy this termlooking forward to going back." "Oh, Mummy, I was stupid and silly," said Elizabeth, going red as she remembered herself a few months back. "Goodness, when I remember the things I said and did! Do you know, I wouldn't even share the cakes and things I took back? And I was so awfully rude and naughty in class-and I just wouldn't go to bed at the right time or do anything I was told I was quite, quite determined to be sent back home!" "And after all you weren't sent back, because you found you wanted to stay," said Mrs. Allen, with a smile. "Well, well-I hope you won't be the naughtiest girl in the school this term." "I don't expect I shall," said Elizabeth. "I shan't be the best either-because I do fly into tempers, you know, and I don't think before I speak. I'm sure to get into trouble of some sort! But never mind, I'll get out of it again, and I'll really do my best this term." "Good girl," said her mother, shutting down the lid of the trunk. "Now look, Elizabeththis is your tuck-box, I've put a tin of toffees in, a big chocolate cake, a tin of shortbread, and a large pot of black-currant jam.…

    Lit Notes

    The actions of the children’s fathers were not to blame alone; the unfaithfulness and the naivety off two mothers were held somewhat responsible for what took place. In The Boy Who Loved Ice Cream, had the mother stayed faithful, the over-protective husband that he is now would not have reacted the way he did at the fair to cause Benjy to lose his first chance at tasting something he thought about every day. Emma however, her role is less to blame, she cannot be blamed for her…
