Why the past should not be glorified We should not preserve the past‚ we should look to the future. We are living in the modern era‚ where people are practical and realistic‚ optimistic that new inventions and discoveries will improve their lives. For most‚ it would be plain foolishness if one were to be so mindful about the past‚ when instead‚ one should invest his time and thought into building a better and more meaningful life in the future.

Similar Families and Similar Struggles "Fences" and "The Piano Lesson" are two extraordinary works created by August Wilson.

August Wilson did not name his play‚ Fences‚ simply because the dramatic action depends strongly on the building of a fence in the Maxson’s

Each show is one-hour in length. Both are police-based dramas. Each shows location is New York City. The action and events in the screenplays

Commentary – Piano and Drums by Gabriel Okara In Gabriel Okara’s poem‚ “Piano and Drums”‚ Okara expresses his feelings and thoughts of a primitive society in contrast to a western society.

The title of the poem itself‚ “Piano and Drums” displays a sense of dissimilarity and contrast as the instruments are so unalike in terms of sophistication.
