    Acting I October 27‚ 2012 The Bear I found The Bear by Anton Chekov to be oddly entertaining; it had an almost realistic humor about them. The way the Mrs.Poppv pawned over her husband’s death even though he had cheated on her numerous of times were hilarious to me because I’ve known people like that who would stay with someone just to keep face for society. They would suffer and pretend to be happy just to say they have a husband. There was a lot of bizarre situation in this play that was unconventional

As civilized and noble human beings‚ it’s important to dissect and criticize the traditional values in the society described in the story "The Lottery" and others

    The story‚ "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is about tradition. A word usually tied to happy events like anniversaries‚ family vacations‚ and holidays‚ Jackson presents the concept in a much more sinister light. While there are hints of what is to come‚ the events portrayed are similar to what one would expect to find in a small village’s long standing custom. The first‚ misleading bit of evidence lies in the very first paragraph. The day is described as "clear and sunny"‚ with "flowers
