In response to Nora’s shock at his unexpected appearance, Krogstad should act calmly, when delivering the line “Excuse me, the outer door was ajar: I suppose someone forgot to shut it” so that the difference between the two’s feelings are shown, Nora is scared and shocked whilst Krogstad is calm and unnerved. To show his scheming nature, i would deliver this line quietly and slowly with his movement and tone of voice completely calm, stressing the word “forgot” and smiling as he says this word, to suggest that the door was not open and he opened it. Krogstad’s posture should be firm and straight, staring straight into Nora’s eyes, both his posture and eye contact should be intimidating. Krogstad’s apparent interest in Mrs Linde, shows his scheming nature, he is only asking after her because he wants to know if it is she that has take his job. “May i make so bold as to ask if it was a Mrs. Linde?”, when delivering this line I would speak confidently, in a strong and steady voice.
noticed that I did miss tying it into some of the trials and tribulations in the story, and now as I read over this I feel if like my experience between father and son is actually a lot like Odysseus and Telemachus. At a young age, my father left home and I learned to become a man of the household without him physically being present. The struggle of growing up with that weight on my shoulders I think definitely compares to that of Tele. in the Odyssey. My fathers departure was a major turning point in my life, it changed a lot of things for me and was very emotional.
The Hays Code forced the writer and director of the film, John Huston, to clean up the script and eliminate almost all sexual references. Huston tried to remain as faithful to the source material as possible in spite of this and eventually found ways to suggest what he could not show. Since he could not display Peter Lorre’s character’s homosexuality as the original film had done, Huston had to find ways around it. Huston did this by giving Lorre’s character, Joel Cairo, effeminate qualities that could make it past the censors and be comprehended by an intelligent audience. Cairo’s handkerchiefs are scented with gardenias and he is overly concerned with his clothing, even becoming hysterical when blood ruins his shirt.
This is why I believe lines 1-52 should be kept, as they are sufficient to show the audience the theme, and a major plot development. Lines 52-71, as I believe, may be eliminated from the play. It is continuous rambling from Polonius, and unnecessary for the production. Polonius is just [providing further advice] to Reynaldo, and it is not necessary, as it will become repetitive to the audience. Lines 53-55 only depict Polonius as being an idiot, for he loses his chain of thought.
Whenever I needed to schedule a doctor’s appointment, my dad always made me do it for myself. It bothered me that my dad would not help me with certain things. I felt as if I had matured way too fast. Looking back at it I realize I am more mature than most people my age, but this is a good thing. Meg goes through a similar situation when they must save Charles Wallace.
But, it was still difficult for me. I felt at a loss because much of my time had been devoted to their needs. My husband attempted to assist me by finding activities and travel to take my mind off of it. But the feeling of loss still lingered. My husband was neutral about them leaving home and though I knew this was the natural progression of life I felt myself presenting him because he didn’t understand and share my feelings.
When Gregor wakes up from his Metamorphosis, he acted as if nothing had happened. The first thing he thought of was about his family: how was he going to get to work because he missed the train. How he is going to work, and help support his family: “I’d have to try to with my boss; I’d be fired on the spot.” (4) He thought that his family would still love and support
Moving to New York was a major change but gave us what distance runners call “second wind”. It was definitely not an easy transition but we no longer had the constant uncertainty of what tomorrow would bring. It is invigorating to reflect on how we went from not knowing when our next meal would be, to the memory of my mother opening the door to our first home, and my older brother graduating from medical school. It has been amazing to witness my family achieve their goals as it serves as a reminder that the sky is the limit. I may have yet to achieve my personal goals but I know that the American Dream
I was scared death that if I did fail I would be a disappointment to him, but not just to him, but to my myself or even disgrace to the families name, see the place that I worked was called Thrasher’s arts studio. It was around my sophomore year and I was asked to help my dad. I worked the cash register, and was his secretary and if a new painting came out I got to pack gage the print. I did whatever I was told. As I got older I got to do a little more things like drive my dad around, and help deliver my grandpas paintings.
When that plan failed, the only other option, according to my parents, was that I move in with my boyfriend and his parents. Again, I was happy so I started packing right away. Living with him was not what I expected. We argued all the time. Often, he would leave me at his parent’s house all day while he was out with his friends.
