A Doll’s House A dominant style in theatre for the past 120 years‚ representing sexual romance‚ violence and domestic disturbances is the realistic style. “The live production “A Doll’s House” by The Young Vic’s effectively uses realism to address gender equality in the 19th century‚ foregrounding the idea that women are bound by the social conception of the duty of a wife‚ this is shown through effective use of the elements of drama”.

As I stood‚ gazing at the scary house. I shivered‚ as though‚ ice had touched my spine. The cold air went through my entire body. The multiple layer of clothing could not protect against the freezing cold. The walkway leading up to house were cracked. Weeds and dandelions poked out from these cracks.

Despite the sweltering heat‚ and air so thick you could cut through it with a knife‚ my dad and uncle labored on to build me the most beautiful tree house I have ever seen.

Haunted House I have this fear of masks‚ haunted houses‚ and anything scary. It was a cool fall day in the month of October. All my friends were preparing for the upcoming Halloween festivals and trying to decide which ones to attend.
