    Nichols and May’s skills as storytellers lie in their understanding of human relationships, a mastery that is expressed in the sketch through their delivery of character. The improvisational nature of Nichols and May’s dynamic is apparent in the conversational tone of this sketch. Nichols and May play off each other well and develop the relationship between the mother and son in a short amount of time. The dysfunction of this relationship drives the scene by creating conflict, which the characters exploit to the fullest extent. For instance, the mother in the sketch begins the call normally and proceeds to guilt trip her son with hyperbolized ¬¬reactions. May’s delivery emphasizes the nagging, worrisome traits of the character. The exaggeration of her character’s dysfunction is the focus of humor in the skit. However, once the sketch breaks down to reveal the emotional truth of the characters, the growing distance in the relationship between mother and son, a sense of gravitas hits the audience and asks us to consider our the…

    “Everything passes” is a statement that Nayeli’s father Pepe wrote to her (47; ch.7). Was he implying that eventually all the priorities in life aren’t as important as they once were?

    The playwright Our Town features a wide range of philosophizing that one would not usually expect from such a traditional and classic play. The play’s author, Thornton Wilder, does an exceptional job characterizing his characters, with many seeming completely normal yet others clearly extraordinarily wise. The two main characters, characters George and Emily are both consistent sources of wisdom and clarity throughout the play. Throughout the play, George’s parts resonated with me the most, and he ended up being what I regarded as by far, the most relatable character. George is always collected, he knows what he wants and he knows what he has to do, even when other people around him may not. George helps to convey the overall message which…

    While reading the book, Early Autumn, by Robert Parker, I liked many of Spenser’s qualities that he showed throughout the book. He made sure that he didn’t leave Mel’s house without Paul, he made Paul stay with him instead of his mom to keep him safe, and he got Paul into shape and away from the TV. During the book, I liked how Spenser handled trading Paul for his mother. I also liked how he disciplined Paul, and changed his outlook on life. I think Spenser is a character who can be a role model for anyone who reads about him.…
