    In the eighth grade, I auditioned for a youth production of “Once Upon a Mattress” at the Morgan-Wixson Theater. It was my first time auditioning for a show in which I wasn't guaranteed a role. Being certain of my abilities and craving a challenge, I auditioned and landed a role in the ensemble. A week into rehearsal one of the leads dropped out, and the director called back members of the ensemble to replace her. After performing just a quarter of the monologue I was recast as a lead character. However, I was oblivious to the stress this character would end up putting on my life. I had only ever played romantic leads who had sweet demeanors, and this character had anything but. The villain and antagonist of the story, Queen Aggravain is an…

    Feeling sorry for someone, but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime. In the book The Awakening, by “Kate Chopin” Kate Chopin sympathizes with the main character Edna but doesn’t pity her. I agree with Kate, because even though she’s married with Leonce a man that she doesn't love and has children with him, she is still free not attached to him at all. Another reason I agree with Kate is that she doesn’t pity Edna. She spends time and loves Robert rather than loving her own husband.…

    The state of humanity is a debatable topic, as it constantly has its ups and downs. For example, while humanity is moving forward in areas such as knowledge and technology, there are still many displays of ignorance and stupidity that make people wonder if progress is being made at all. Lorraine Hansberry, the praised playwright behind A Raisin in the Sun and The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, has experienced both the good and bad aspects of humanity and expresses it through her work. Although the majority of the characters and plot of A Raisin in the Sun suggest that humanity is repetitive, Hansberry uses some of her other characters,…

    Bartleby is described as completely emotionless. He wrote on silently, palely and mechanically, at first when he wrote. He is also described as a ghost. It should be pointed out that the narrator’s problems with his other employees have to do with their unreliability, sloppiness and flaring tempers. Turkey and Nippers are quite the opposite of Bartleby, yet the main conflict that “Bartleby the Scrivener” presents is an internal problem. The narrator cannot deal with someone who appears to be void of any human attributes. In the descriptions of Turkey and Nippers, there is some sort of organic mechanization in the way they work, and how their temperaments change: “Their fits relieved each other, like guards. When Nipper’s was on, Turkey’s was off; and vice versa”. “Ah, Bartleby! Ah, humanity!” is the closing sentence in Melville’s short story “Bartleby the Scrivener”. It is a strong claim about what it means to act according to a certain concept of humanness. The author may be saying that it is human nature to have faults; however losing the ability to emote and connect with one’s surrounding world is…
