The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

    Right after the battle at Lexington and Concord, around 20,000 men, specifically Minutemen, surrounded Boston, clearly outnumbering the British troops. With high hopes that the English King would address the Americans’ grievances, the Second Continental Congress decided to meet in Philadelphia. They, however, had no concrete intention of being independent from Britain. To make sure that their voices were heard, they sent a second list of their grievances to Parliament. They also decided that they needed money for a new navy and army, selecting George Washington to be the commander of the army. Despite the fact that Washington had never commanded a full on army, he was tall and looked like a leader, which gave the colonists hope. He possessed many of the qualities that a real leader needs: patience, courage, self-discipline, and a great sense of justice. He was quite fit to be a leader, and a great one at that.…

    In 1876, King Leopold II of Belgium began plans for international benevolent committees for the people of the Congo region. Though originally accepted as multi-national, scientific, and humanitarian propositions, they have of late become anything but. Soon after their conception, Leopold used these organizations to establish a sphere of influence and eventually Belgian sovereignty in the Congo Basin. The region is rich in ivory and rubber, and Leopold made use of those resources and others in expanding trade. Now, rubber is the colony's most profitable industry. However, the Congolese people benefit little from this.…

    The lighting and set design performance by Kristin Chenoweth looked more professionally overall compared to Ben Hensley’s performance. In Chenoweth’s performance, she was positioned stage left, and had calm blue lighting in the background with a grand piano. Additionally, the main focus was on Kristin, the camera person had an up close view that had lighting that flattered her face. On the other hand, Hensley’s performance was distracting because he was not the main focus. There were too many stimuli, you could hear a baby during the performance, the audiences’ heads, and on stage there were way too many people while Hensley was singing. There were choir groups and also an orchestra or band on the stage. I had a difficult time focusing on Hensley, and I believe all the distractions took away from his performance.…

The narrator’s family was never too involved in the Christmas pageant. Father complained about going and the narrator's brother had to be forced to be in it.

Typically, all the parts are played by the same kids year after year and mother plans to do everything the same way as it had traditionally been done.

    William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night introduces a wise fool named Feste. As a licensed fool, Feste plays an integral role within the plot of the play. Feste acts as the voice of reason in a play filled with cross-dressing, disguises, confusion, trickery, and chaos. Feste has the ability to break down the barrier between the cast on stage and the audience members, while also embodying the festivities of the feast of the Epiphany and the beginning of Carnival. Even though Feste is called a fool in name, he becomes the only character to not be foolish in nature. Shakespeare uses the character of Feste to provide a running commentary on each of the characters while also participating in the action that is unfolding on stage.…
