The Music Man Response
‘’The Music man’’ Response ‘’The music man" is a play that was written for entertainment to make people laugh which is a good thing, because it helps to release stress. The play was not just entertaining it was romantic, touching and unique from other musical plays I have seen. Yes, the play was not based on realism, for example in real life we don't see people doing choreography with the same moves.
It’s funny because I still saw some real life situation in the play portrayed this in a non-realistic way which made it feel like some life situation can be viewed from a different perspective. Most of the time we view life in just one way but the play made it seemed like sometimes our non-realistic thought about

    Just by reading the play, we, the readers, understand that despite the evidence that may be presented or the setting and state of being a person might find themselves in, factors such as prejudice and individuality or conformity will somehow end up leading to mob mentality and/or a strong emotional bias. No matter how hard one may try to avoid the inevitable, they will never be fully successful in doing…

    Characters in both of the plays must choose between following what society says is the right thing to do and following what they believe in their hearts to be the right thing to do. Often, choosing to follow the conscience is the more difficult road to walk. For one of the two plays, identify the difficult choices the characters make and analyze the effects that these choices have on the characters’ lives…

    It brings in to play that every decision that you or I is making, right now, could be affecting the way that we live out the rest of our lives. In the same way that a small decision can negatively impact a person… the opposite can be true as well. The author Wes Moore lived in a neighborhood with just as much of a drug influence as the other… yet somehow he managed to disconnect himself from it and thrive in his situation. Both the author and the other had mothers who wanted the best for their sons… with absent father figures. The idea that a single parent could put everything they had into their kid is really inspirational. The other Wes Moore’s mother, Mary, worked hard to keep her kids in comfort, but her efforts ended up fruitless. The author Wes Moore’s mother Joy, worked multiple jobs in order to send him to a private school… and that ended up making all the difference in his life. He was forced to work harder and become interested in school, and he put his energy into more productive things such as basketball, or hanging out with friends, but he never let it get to the point where he was roped into the drug game. “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his.” I agree with this statement, and I think that the story “The…

    I do agree that the characters in this scene are portrayed in a very ambiguous manner. At this point in the play, many of the characters are masking their real feelings; this is usually quite apparent in their language and behaviour on stage.…

    This conflict between truth and appearance is illuminated in Act 3 Scene 2 via the 'play within the play'. The 'acting on all levels' in this scene causes the play to become highly reflexive and meta-theatrical, audiences are alerted to its constructed nature as "twere a mirror up to nature" yet also cautioning audiences over the "masks" that are constructed by people to disguise truth. The scene's reflexive and modernist techniques allow us to contemplate upon the nature of 'appearances' demonstrating the iconic relevancy of the…

    Comparing the plot and the play, I was able to see a parallel to some very basic human emotions and dispositions such as unrequited love, deception, and lies. Once the actual story was revealed I was able to gather a myriad of human experiences and see that they are still relevant and prevalent to me in the twenty first century; to list a few, religious prosecution, adultery, deception and scams, mob mentality, love, mankind evilness towards one another, pride, and…

    Media changes people's perspective on right and wrong. To start it is obvious that Music Can change the mood of most people it is reliable for making people feel different ways. From Up beat songs making people happy or feel good to Sad songs that make people sad as they should. Now for it to change people's perspective on right and wrong i think that for a young person to hear the modern rap music that idealizes drugs and an inappropriate lifestyle i think it can sway a younger person to see the world differently. It may also lead them to try things because they think it's right.…
