How does Hill create atmosphere with her description of Eel Marsh House? Hill creates atmosphere with her description of EMH largely with the descriptions given by Kipps. Because the reader is following Kipps’ descriptions, our opinions of the house and the setting change as his do, thereby involving the reader successfully. Initially, the house is a safe place for Kipps, and a place where he feels much better than in the ‘oppressive fog’ of London; his first description of EMH is ‘gaunt, but handsome’, which is very optimistic. Hill further builds up a calm atmosphere by expressing Kipps’ admiration of the house, with the quotes ‘I rather liked this lonely spot’ and his description ‘isolated, uncompromising, but also…handsome’.

Runner, written by Robert newton, is a historical novel set in the Richmond Slums of 1919. The plot throughout the story was not completely dark and downhearted. Charlie Feehan, as the protagonist of the book, was a sixteen year old boy who suffers from great poverty, the loss of his father from the Spanish flue makes his situation worse and other characters struggle to raise their families. However, Charlie’s complicated problem twists into a well concluded ending; this indicates that teenage novels are not always gloomy, but may have a saddening storyline and setting. Charlie Feehan had a hard life before he won the Ballarat Miles competition.
It is “…so easy to disappear, so easy to deny knowledge, so very easy in the smoke and din to mask that something dark had taken root” (Larson 12). The Chicago fair is captivating for many people. “Something dark had taken root” represents the danger of the fair. Despite these apparent dangers people keeping coming back for me because of the adventure that comes with it. Once a person enters the darkness, which represents the Chicago fair, it is hard to get out of this darkness because it is so easy for a person to immerse himself into it.
The way the characters used the space was very nice, both Max and Andrew walked around a lot, and moved between the two sides of the stage. This added a level of closeness, as if they were in the same room as us, and in the same space. To me, the set was one of the most remarkable parts of the play. I also really enjoyed the way the blue light was used to show a time lapse, or a scene change. That was amazing.
Plays are not usually one of my interests, but when I went to the Woods Theatre to see Beth Henley’s, “Crime’s of the Heart” I felt more comfortable than I thought. The building was very inviting due to the fact that the theatre resembles a house. The fact that the theatre looked really similar to a house I’d see in my neighborhood made me feel at ease, calm and at home. The lighting on the inside made me feel relaxed and eager to watch the play because it was dimmed while the lights on the stage were bright, attracting my attention. I enjoyed the fact that my fellow classmates were involved in putting on the show.

It was during that time he was given the nickname “Teddy” by his parents, and he hated it (Biography.com). Theodore was weak as a child, but did not let it stop him, in fact; it encouraged him to work on ways to strengthen his muscles to become stronger. Theodore and his family traveled to Europe and the Middle East when he was ten and again when he was fourteen (Biography.Com).
