A major similarity between “The Piano Lesson” and “Fences” is that both plays stick primarily to the same setting.  A lot of each play’s meaning has a lot to do with its setting.  In

Also‚ the feeling of catharsis at the end-which is proper of tragedy‚ was clearly identifiable. I. Fences fits into the tragic genre based on the points given by Aristotle.

    During the fences harkness last week i learned many interesting things‚ not only about the book but also about my classmates and how they see the world.

A good example of this is when they discussed whether or not Troy was a tragic hero. While some of my classmates thought that he fit the definition of a tragic hero well‚ others

    AUGUST RUSH’ ESSAY A scene I enjoyed in the film was Evan being bullied at the orphanage. It showed the harsh reality he was living in before he escaped and became an amazing musician. My reasons for enjoying this scene are the lighting‚ dialogue and camera-work. Firstly‚ the camera shots and techniques were used cleverly to impact the viewer’s emotions. The scene starts off with a shot of the moon. Moon-shots allude to horror and give a foreboding sense. You get a glimpse of Evan’s reality
