    For the live theatre show, I decided to watch “A Christmas Story, The Musical” directed by Valerie Easton at Vancouver Arts Club Stanley Industrial Aalliance Stage. The show focuses on a child named Ralphie, who wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas.Valerie’s production captured the happiness and cheerful atmosphere during Christmas and also focus on emphasizing Ralphie’s desire of a BB Gun as his Christmas present. During the show, I was impressed by many design and technical production elements. For example, the quick changes, the adequate use of theatre stage and also the use of sets to change from fantasy and reality. However, the most striking elements to me are the set piece of Ralphie’s house and the sufficient use of rigging system.…

    The overall structure and plot of the story plays a part in how Wolff viewed his own life within the characters. It opens with a simple yet intriguing statement: "Tub had been waiting for an hour in the falling snow" (Wolff 1). Immediately, this hook does its job drawing the reader into the story and making him wonder what is going on. In the same paragraph we find that Tub is walking down the street, carrying a rifle and seemingly, shooting the breeze. But then a car comes from nowhere, nearly killing Tub and forcing him to leap off the roadside. Inside the truck, Tub's friends, Kenny and Frank, wait laughing at the apparent "joke" that they had just played. Tub doesn't seem quite as amused, stating, "You could've killed me!" (Wolff 5). Then, the three friends begin to make their way towards the woods to go hunting for…

    David Guterson’s Snow Falling On Cedars is an outstanding book with an amazing story. It is very detailed. The book begins by making an absolute dispute for animosity, talking about the citizens of San Piedro Island. The setting of the book is very dark in the foggy winter of December, during a thick winter storm in 1954. In the courtroom, a murder trial is held against the accused, Kabuo Miyamoto, for supposedly murdering Carl Heine. As the story goes on, it goes back in the past to figure out the real story behind this “homicide”. Later, it is revealed that there is a deeper dispute between the Anglo-Americans and the Japanese people. This is just one story to the book. The other story is about love and the past. The past is never forgotten by a white boy named Ishmael Chambers, who is deeply in love and heart-broken by Hatsue Imada (the wife of the accused).…

    Snow is a difficult poem to read because it doesn’t read. At the point when held up against the unusual wonderful convention, E.E Cummings, snow just looks silly. Entire words are covered up inside of the muddle. They spark like signals on a dark runway.
