i chose to base my “Boys of Blood and Bone” presentation around the theme of death and grief. The concept of death is a strong point that the author David Metzenthen brings into the novel as it gives the audience the idea of not knowing what you have until it’s gone. Death is a very powerful and traumatic experience. It can change someone’s life just as easy as someone can get over it this shown between both the narratives. Andrew Lansell fought for Australia in France in 1917 him as well as most

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas 1. My reaction to the boy in the striped pyjamas was that it made me feel a little scared about the future because something like this may happen again. I liked all the messages in the story that were inferred to the reader. Some of these were messages about how horrific it must have been for the Jewish people. Other messages implied that the Jews are still human and are really no different apart from their beliefs. My emotions changed by making me think

Collectively‚ my group decided on a central theme for the revised script: change. We wanted to focus on how every character went through some drastic change as the script progressed. We decided to start with Kate’s monologue. This monologue was a good way to introduce everyone in the play. It had a dual purpose by also showing Kate’s attitude and personality. In the script Kate says‚ “3‚000 happy Christians‚ cornbread on every table‚ and a pickup truck in every front yard.” This line‚ with the right

Being a girl trying to experience childhood‚ the girl in "Boys and Girls" was very restricted in finding out who she is‚ because of her dad’s expectations. Perhaps because of the way he was raised‚ he made judgments on her before she had even done anything wrong (or ’girly’‚ in his eyes). Before the day she let the horse out‚ her father seemed to be waiting for the day when she would slip. It was as if he expected her to let the horse out before it even happened. He categorized her as a foolish‚
