been able to see‚ by far my favorite is Wicked. I have always been drawn to plays that are fantasy-based versus those that focus on realism. Wicked is a complete fun-ride of fantasy from beginning to end. From it’s variety of outrageous characters to it’s musical score‚ each aspect of drama is clear and defined in this play. Theme‚ music‚ and spectacle will be the focus in this essay‚ but that is not to say each aspect does not have a role in the show. Wicked presents the aspects of drama in a way

Jesus is an authentic relationship with God featuring ups and downs‚ and yet a desire to worship in the midst of pain and struggle.” Your statement made me realize that I had completely overlooked the Lament Psalms impact on those who do not have a saving relationship with God. I agree that the Lament Psalms are a great example of an authentic relationship with God and that those who are not Christians tend to appreciate that kind of authenticity. If those around us can somehow observe us as we interact

29 February 2012 “London’s ‘A Wicked Woman’: A Reading Response” Jack London’s “A Wicked Woman” is a short story depicting the troubled love life of a young woman named Loretta. London rapidly introduces the reader to a large cast of characters in the first two paragraphs. I found this story similar to a modern pulp fiction romance novel.

ANZAC Parade (or Distant Fields)‚ written by Rhian Gallagher‚ and Lament (lament is known for being a sad song or poem) for the Country Soldiers (written by Les Murray) are both similar and diverse. Both poems carry the Australian landscape as a backdrop. Both poems use words that you can envision in your mind. I like how Gallagher uses contrasting words and repetition. The use of paradox’s in Murray’s poem makes it very remarkable‚ because naming opposites can make the poem feel sort of ironic

BOOK REVIEW Wicked As She Wants (Blud Book #2) by Delilah S. Dawson I still don’t know how I feel about this world in general. It sounds like Hell and honestly would make me think twice about not signing a will that said if I’m in a coma let me die. There’s nothing that makes me want to live in it for very long‚ which makes reading books set in this world hard. Dawson decided to rework the story of the doomed Anastasia and her family‚ and does a good job merging the familiar with her world.
