The Container Analysis
What better way to go to the theater then to watch a play on the stage, in the flesh of the actual actors. Clare Bayleys’s play “The Container” had a total of 28 seats for the audiance. Performed in a hot, dark, stuffy and smelly 40ft shipping container, as you watch scared annd anxiously awaiting to see if the refusges make it to the UK. Tom Raybould's sound plan makes you feel as if you are stuck in a truck moving, shocking, shivering to an unpropitious stop. The entryways, hammered and catapulted, underline the feeling of shaky detainment. You actually begin to feel as if you are there. Each immagrint having thier own story to tell , some refuges trying to find their way home to there child and wife or simply trying to make a better life for themselves, and others a hope to work as a servent for the queen of England! The container taking place in a shipping container forces the audance to sit in the darkness, while they hear and smell just as the immigrants did. This giving off a …show more content…
This demand uncovering the lengths they will go keeping in mind the end goal to achieve their objective. You begin to feel the discomfter and the struggle as they begand plead I have already given you everything! As if the setting wasnt upsetting enough the audience is then subjected to a young pregnant Afghan lady getting grabbed and is thrown out, not able to to meet the care of a sudden demand for more cash, her screams then filling the compartment with excruciating insinuations of her destiny. In conclusion the container creates a real life heart wrenching experince filled with sadness and a helpless feeling unable to react. Sitting in the shipping container with the actors is an absoltly perfect way to give the play a real life effect, and deffeintly forces the audience to experience the issues that the immagrents have faced or are facing. I really enjoyed

    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: The Rooftop Lesson,” Rich Orloff explores these common elements of plays and creates an original by “gathering all clichés into one story and satirizing them” (Orloff as cited by Meyer, 2009, p. 1352).…

    The first chapter of ‘The Shipping News’, written in 1993, by Annie Proulx, exposes the modern reader to the development of what everyone has experienced before; the development of their childhood. The chapter, a flashback-like image of the main character – Quoyle, displays his development into a resigned, submissive character, and one who is often under the object of cruelty. The interactions of Quoyle with a hyperbolically cruel world reveal to the reader Quoyle’s ‘walk-upon’ status by others. My context has positioned me to see that Proulx expresses the effects of a hyperbolically cruel world, the inevitable tendency to be judged on physical basis’ and the fear that many people experience to experience new things in life. It is through the use of figurative language, tone and allusion the reader may infer the effects of cruel surroundings on the shaping of a repressive and unconfident personality.…

    The play, After the Ball by David Williamson, is primarily about the disappointments and realities that test a suburban Australian family in a time of mystifying social revolution. Much of the dramatic action within the play derives from misunderstandings between characters and their opposing beliefs about what it means to be Australian. These differing beliefs lead to tension of relationships between the characters Stephen, Judy and Ron. The conflicts and dilemmas within these relationships lead to Stephen's progression to enlightenment. This action can be analysed through the elements of drama. However for the purposes of this essay, the focus will be on the human context and tension, and how they worked together to create the whole experience…

    Alan Bennett uses a number of methods throughout the play in order to raise pertinent issues and fully convey his concerns, and I believe many of these are present within this extract; varying from his common language and structure techniques to the ever running themes of conflicting pedagogical philosophies, sinister pederast undertones and the drive for acceptance at Oxbridge.…

    The story “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien is an enormously detailed fictional account of a wartime scenario in which jimmy Cross (the story’s main character) grows as a person, and the emotional and physical baggage of wartime are brought to light. The most obvious and prominent feature of O’Brien’s writing is a repetition of detail. O’brien also passively analyzes the effects of wartime on the underdeveloped psyche by giving the reader close up insight into common tribulations of war, but not in a necessarily expositorial sense.. He takes us into the minds of mere kids as they cope with the unbelievable and under-talked-about effects or rationalizing death, discomfort and loneliness as well as the themes of heroism, physical and mental pain, and a loss of innocence. Obrien achieves this through extended description, imagery and tone coupled with an intimate relationship with the stories main characters.…

    The staging of Australian Drama and Theatre allows an enhanced understanding of ourselves and our different cultural and social contexts. Dorothy Hewett’s (1972) play, The Chapel Perilous and David Williamson’s (1971) play The Removalists both reveal sometimes disturbing social and cultural contexts within Australian society of the time of the play’s production. While either playwright adopts quite different staging techniques, both plays focus on the nature and misuse of authority, as well as personal freedoms, violence and gender inequality, thus creating insight into our society.…

    DRAFT Rev 0 Container In-Security Initiatives: Getting Risk-Based Supply Chain Security Right “I believe that we should treat every container destined to enter or pass through the United States as a potential weapon of mass destruction; every ship that carries it as a delivery device; and every port and point inland as a potential target”, Rob Quartel, chairman and CEO of Freightdesk Technologies and former member of the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission told the Government Affairs Committee of the U.S. Senate on 6 December 2001.1 The emergence of a terrorist threat to the United States of America has directed the attention of security professionals and politicians alike to the vulnerability of the supply chain to terrorist attacks, be it as a target of or a conduit for such attacks. The response has been a flurry of security initiatives led by the U.S. Most of these take a risk-based approach to supply chain security. The new security measures have been adopted and implemented with varying degrees of enthusiasm by U.S. trade partners. One reason for the muted response is that the U.S. focus on terrorism has transformed the perception of supply chain security from making it more “theft-proof” to making it more “tamperresistant“. The two issues are not as complementary as they seem to be at first glance, but that will not be the object of this discussion. Thus, I will be leaving aside the arguably more tangible problem of cargo theft and cargo diversion. Instead I will discuss the merits of actual and planned measures for the increased and targeted screening of containerised cargo in the context of counter-terrorism. Another issue I will focus on is the implementation of a preferential treatment system for “trusted” or otherwise vetted, certified, or approved-of shippers and participants in the global supply chain. This is actually a manifestation of the riskbased screening and inspection approach and is a recurring theme in the various container security…

    The play "Summer Of The Seventeenth Doll" is a mixture of people's inability to grow up and let go of dreams, in a typical Australian atmosphere in the nineteen fifties. Ray Lawler focuses on showing the characters finally waking up to their lives and realizing they don't live in "heaven, " within in a simple plot. These techniques allow readers to connect and understand the disillusionment suffered by these Australian's in this time.…

    At last, when the ship we were in had got in all her cargo, they made ready with many fearful noises, and we were all put under deck, so that we could not see how they managed the vessel. But this disappointment was the least of my sorrow. The stench of the hold while we were on the coast was so intolerably loathsome, that it was dangerous to remain there for any time, and some of us had been permitted to stay on the deck for the fresh air; but now that the whole ship’s cargo were confined together, it became absolutely pestilential. The closeness of the place, and the heat of the climate, added to the number in the ship, which was so crowded that each had scarcely room to turn himself, almost suffocated us. This produced copious perspirations, so that the air soon became unfit for respiration, from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the slaves, of which many died, thus falling victims to the improvident avarice, as I may call it, of their purchasers. This wretched situation was again aggravated by the galling of the chains, now become insupportable; and the filth of the necessary tubs, into which the children often fell, and were almost suffocated. The shrieks of the women, and the groans of the dying, rendered the whole a scene of horror almost inconceivable. Happily perhaps for myself I was soon reduced so low here that it was thought necessary to keep me almost always on deck; and from my extreme youth I was not put in fetters. In this situation I expected every hour to share the fate of my companions, some of whom were almost daily brought upon deck at the point of death, which I began to hope would soon put an end to my miseries. Often did I think many of the inhabitants of the deep much more happy than myself; I envied them the freedom they enjoyed, and as often wished I could change my condition for theirs. Every circumstance I met with served only to render my state more painful, and heighten my apprehensions, and my opinion of…
