Any lame person could see this is the king, who continuously daunts high-class apparel and flashy jewelry.
It was an odd spectacle, yet I still me gazed and wondered at the sight.
His son is scent away to make his own life.
He is nothing more than a decaying corps.
I don't recall seeing many bright colors which is a good thing when we are dealing with revenge.
Spectacle was left to a minim in order to focus on the play.
The designs were large and elaborate, with spikes, boots, and hair.
The makeup clearly illustrates the immorality and levity of the characters. (she uses "levity" to describe a dead man. )
The designer used a skrim, an opaque screen that is taught. (in the theatre, a scrim is a taut piece of fabric which becomes transparent under certain conditions)
The lighting designer used varying colors to create a dramatic and ire lighting scheme.
On the other end of the spectrum are the costume which exercise nobility.
The characters wreak of betrayal.
Their final conflict sends him off into the word on his own.
Dreams of becoming poets, writers, and intellects were all impossible.
He witnessed his mother's suffering because of his father's unkempt promises.
The house created the obeisance of how isolated these women were.
You could tell the kind of character the playwright wanted to be.
She new how to act.
While their brother or father (I am not sure which) came back from war...
The narrator is still troubled by the summer when there was lots of love, and of loss because of the family apart of the family. (yeah. I dunno. Don't look at me.)
Surprisingly, Molly does not entire act much with Aaron.
This is the point where the end becomes inevitably.
The first scene is the climax of the play.
The climax of the play undoubtedly occurred at the end, or near it.
Seeing his wife in this state of condition upset him.
The highest point comes from when during the fistfight.
When this happens, he is finally pushed over the age.
In this play there is very much crisis.
Alex deems a complex character.
I can put more, but I assume this is enough.
...the wineful of poisn...
From that point on it's all dropping bodies.
The exact crisis is that everything goes wrong and everyone dies. (Wow. Way to be precise, yo.)
Hamlet dies from a small piercing.
The family struggled against the disgrace brought on my having a love child.
He kisses her friend as she peaks.
Every time he appears onstage he arouses his son in the way only a father can.
Certain things can be done alone but all warm-blooded people need a companion in the end.
In fact, the play was incredibly slow up until the arrival of the men.
His only purpose is to dance around all retarded.
This was a very well sought out play.
He has also breaded the protagonist, making this play even more unique. (I honestly have no idea what this person means here. None at all. Normally I have a clue; nope, not in this case.)
This was a very intuitive play that is filled with many different dialogue that is important to listen to. It was pact filled with great life lessons.
John Hawthorne is one of the antagonists and his name contains the word thorn which is never a good thing.
Further than that, at the hand of more research, I chose this play.
At the heart of Joe is a corrupt spine. He even divulges in a kiss with Louis.
I thought this project was very helping in getting me to think.
The bold and vibrant colors reflected the ear in which the play was set.
It displayed a certain heir of high social class. Chic dresses were worn and tuxedos with colored cumber buns were present.
When I attended the play I sat in an isle seat.
Sign language was a significant element in narrating the story of a young, def girl who is made fun of by the town. (Yes, they mock her 80's chic; she is just too def for them.)
The final section of the set was the tact room, where they kept all of their tools.
The black robe had plastic gems and a trim of gold lamiae. (lamiae are a type of Greek vampire.)
First, I felt close to the actors because I could wee their facial expressions.
This play was performed at a college in the middle of now where.
All of the actors had great facials and body movements.
Barnaby exemplified the look of a butler with his gold collar, black bow tie, and white testes.
He was outstanding at acting and making hypothetical gestures.
For example, the fake cardbord crocodiles aroused the audience with their unbelievable appearance.
Minus his age, Jason did a great job of portraying his actor.
This play was about a parliament being accused of killing the chauffeur.
Nothing turned the audience's buttons on more than the actors of this production.
This yellow light extenuated the idea of the sparkle.
Another big hit in the set design was the side effects, such as smoking.
One scene that caught my eye in particular was the scene that was done in the sewer for the floating crap game.
The lights created an underwater delusion.
Top Girls could be metaphoric in many of ways.
It is much harder for me to read a play and interrupt it.
I especially enjoyed her floofing. She constantly floofed her dress, she constantly floofed her hair. She walked like a floof, and let her hands flop (or floof) around.
The witty humor had me laughing so hard I feared I might loose the contents of my bladder.(Note to everyone ever in the universe: NOBODY EVER WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR BLADDER IN AN ESSAY.)
I felt that I could relate to her and her young style because she was a part of the youngest couple and had a winy personality, somewhat similar to mine.
I thought that everything she did was overdone, like her walking, talking, and nicotine addiction.
The lyrics of this play can be accredited for make this play so enjoyable. (this is the same girl who wrote me an email ALL IN CAPS LOCK and then, in her paper, never once capitalised AIDS.)
She expressed the verbatim with effective allusions designed to reveal everything, yet remain tasteful.
Also, the play kind of left me feeling dirty because they talked about sex. However, mixing in some sexual events made the play fun and exciting.
Life isn't fair because the world is run by the corrupted minds of men, and it can't be undone for the world itself is evil.
This play takes us back to the 16th century of Ancient Greece.
When first walking into the arena theatre, I wasn't sure if I was walking into an arena or a theatre.
The writing flowed as smooth as birds over fluffy white-knit clouds.
Towards the end I started to believe I was at some distorted Abercrombie and Fitch catalog shooting instead of a college play.
The show started after a big financial loss from fire damage, for that reason, I had good feelings about the play.
This was one of those plays that you'll remember for forever. (This comes from a student who DID NOT SEE THE SHOW.)
They end the scene with very little clothing on, making the show a real hit.
The mood was sad, yet happy.
The suits with little and tutus kept me entertained.
The sight of Jeff talking like a cat had everyone in splits.
On a play ostentatiously set in the 1940's: This play mixes love, friendship and mischief in the mid 19th century...
The setting wasn't as good as the acting, but it did put up a good fight.
The character of Willy Loman can best be compared to Ozzy Osbourne.
I would play the role of Theo because he is a young man who is married to a beautiful young woman.
Bears can come of harsh, but underneath it there is a sweet and sensitive side.
She takes her boyfriend Laurie, under her wings and helps raise him into the man her becomes.
I would cast Kelly Clarkson as Meg [in Little Women]. She is a little plum which Meg is described to be, but very mature.
I learned that you will get caught and women always figure it out.
The title means it's important to be serious and sincere, yet it's also just as important, if not more so, to be named Ernest.
I chose this play because it was short and easy to read.
Overall I enjoyed the play because it was odd and short.
The experience of the theatre is phenomenal and must not go untaken.
Just like Willy Loman in the play, my father wants me to have a successful and happy life. That is why I am in college, and that is why I am writing this paper.
And the "I got high before typing this review" award goes to: While I believe some actors did this very will I do believe some actors did not. One of these is [character's name], who I did not believe hold the same characteristics throughout the movie.
This person began their paper with: Luckily I do not have to write a paper on the acting in this play. I do not major in theatre arts but I was told by someone who did that the acting in this production was horrible.
I especially liked the kid who referred to Death of a Salesman as a domestic comedy. Yeah, that Arthur Miller, what a hoot he is. Didn't he write for Friends for a while?
One student described Anything Goes -- yes, ANYTHING GOES -- as "a little weighty for me". God I hope he doesn't really know what weighty means.
And this, my friends, is the entirety of one of the papers: [Name removed] is the driving force in the play. The cast includes his wife, children, and friend. To be honest I have only skimmed the play and I left my copy at home in the rush to leave. I can not remember what the conflict was.
But these sarcasms are my favourite:
I would have to say the highlight of the evening came when the waitress brought our food and drinks. The only reason I would go back is to have more of the delicious pizza served during the show.
The actors shouted their lines out at the crowd, and while this technique might work for an overenthusiastic professor lecturing in an auditorium...
I would not recommend this play to those who can still hear and see.
The play hit the ground walking and only proceeded to lose momentum from there.
This production was an epic of student-sized proportions.
This is not a play I would have recommended to someone to write an eight page paper on.
The lighting in this play was masterfully adequate.
This play was honestly a waste of two hours and forty minutes of my life that I would like to have back.
gems fromblythely: Undergrad Essays for Biology, Anthropology and Psychology.
It is important to consider the world in an evolutionary contempt.
If it is true that intelligence is heritable I think it would be dangerous for society. It opens the way to things that could tear society apart and threaten our basic rights, such as eugenics, the selective breeding of the human race is an awful thing to contemplate.
In summing up I conclude that intelligence is genetic, heritable and modifiable and offers no valid reason for total pessimism and thus conclude there are many valid reasons for optimism.
Psychology is an ever changing science, which is difficult.
In 1971, Robert Smith conquered another success in demonstrating the use of this technique.
I think that human evolution similarly to evolution of other organisms was mosaic and the intriguing field of anthropology is to piece together the beautifully mosaic picture of how Homo came to evolve into the complex creature that is each one of us.
The claim is surrounded by many viewpoints that has led biologists, psychologists, philosophers, evolutionists and many other academia wondering.
We are aware of our intelligence. We know who is smarter and who is not.
The intelligence that arises from an increase in brain size, substantially benefits all beings in their search for a better way of life.
Bigger brains enable the development of better tools and better weapons, which improves nourishment to the brain.
It was a long road to full bipedality and there were a number of steps long the way. (I gave this girl the red pen for her bad puns)
Furthermore, having able to migrate from Africa to Europe and Asia in those days was not an easy and simple task to do. (c. 2 million years ago)
Human adaptive advantage was acquired as the brain evolved functions that were both selectively important and ensured the survival of the species. (in a test answer for Explain the problems with "survival of the species"?)
For even the scientists to make such teleological statements, provides evidence that teleological thought is a module with no way of escaping its clutches (until such time that evolution decides to through another curve ball our way).
From the very begininng of human existence, it seems we have had a propensity to kill our fellow human beings.
May 2004 Update:
The play appeals to its audience because it has comedy, action, music, and death.
He attaches her with a rifle.
Her overal sexual appeal made for a very enjoyable viewing experience. Her desire-inducing body and accentuating wardrobe was not lost on me.
To convince the audience of his nerdiness, he uses a very whinny voice.
Death is an underlying film throughout the play.
Since recently becoming an avid theatre viewer, this is one of the best plays that I have ever seen.
He destroys because he can't bare it any longer.
I worked closely with the playwrighter; we incremented sounds into the script.
In the end of the play Marie dies in a horrible car accident near the school. After a night of heavy drinking Marie felt that she was in good condition to drive home and learned the hard way that she was not.
They looked like they were dressed for the artic.
This is a playwright about a young man.
This is a group of men and women who revolve their unfortunate around the street in which they live.
This actress looked the most evil to me because the approach the director took in making the actress look like a woman who was capable of doing evil things.
Dishonest people always loose in the end.
The play portrait it beautifully.
The tycoon is a very rich and snoody man.

October 2004 Update
I did not read this play. I read another play instead.
The characters that are in most conflicts throughout the play is between the father and his son.
I did not read the play. I won't bother wasting your time with what I "picked up" on the play five minutes before class. Your welcome.
This is all I've read up to so far. I was going to speculate further but that probably isn't a good plan.
For me thinking about death is always a conflict one I usually lose and just try to forget about.
In this playwright the whole conflict of the play is him against everything.
He has been plaqueged with conflict from his ancestors.
I did not read the play because this is my first day in this class and I did not get the book until I knew I needed it which was Sunday and in the email to me from you. It was said that I just needed the book.
The two characters who are most in conflict are most definitely the father and son. Though there is a lot of conflict, I feel the main conflict is between father and son. Looking back on the play's central conflict it is obvious that the conflict is between father and son.
Her promiscuous behavior is often made null by her corky attitude.
The ways he acts out are very funny, like he dropped the pant down in act two and also he slapped a woman's ass in act three.
I related to her in the fact that I as well have blonde moments even as a brunette.
When she gets the flowers, she seems just as frilled as if they were roses.
From the movements to the accents it all came together as one big art.
Plays give people the opportunity to let lose.
He is having difficulty finding work because he is in love, with alcohol.
I was bored with the first seen.
His portentiousness is so deep that he has no regard for pregnant women at all.
This play is about a group of people and their personal sha nan a gans.
I would like to get to the bottom of these questions someday, hint, hint :)
I was expecting a middle-aged drunk man, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that he was a slightly-older-than-middle-aged drunk man.
It is hard for a human to become an actor.
This play is a play with another play.
He plays two women against each other without their knowledge. I find this typical of male arrogance.
That is when the emotions start to fly.
The performance was entertaining and boring.
This play was witty, with parts that were just as funny as a Ben Stiller movie.
It reminded me of when I messed up during my Bar Mitzvah and nobody noticed.
His short tongue seemed to have a subliminal purpose.
He does anything in his wit to keep a bottle of booze in his mouth.
The sexual humour begins when she puts her head in his crouch.
These are introduced in a subtle manor.
An unexpected bonus for me in the theater was that I sat next to two beautiful girls. This was a large cause for inflating the rating that I gave this play, which was a nine.
If the company wants to attract more students, the play should present the cast in more revealing clothing and adopt a hip hop theme song. Of course this is just me adding my un-solicitated advice. (on a play set quite clearly in the 1970s.)
The production had a lot of minor and major quarks.
At first I felt the way I might if I were babysitting rambunctions triplets, but by the end of the show I felt like I had just run five miles while laughing.
One can tell he has great familiarity with being drunk.
This has alluded them for the entire play.
I have never been intrigued by plays. It wouldn't matter who was on stage, it just does not appeal to me as a person. That's just not who I am. I have always been more of an outdoors person; if I sit too long then I am not a happy camper.
To which I replied, "Aside from your dislike of sitting still (which I assume means you do not go to movies or watch much television), what about THIS PLAY didn't you like?"
Flipping through the program before the performance started I found myself dreading the next three hours. Eighteen dollars, a two page paper and a waste of a night is all that was going through my mind. The class does not apply to my major, and quite honestly I only took it because it was a perfect fit for my schedule and a student suggested it to me.
Note to students: It is not wise to tell your teachers you are only taking their class because it fit into your course schedule. We are likely to tell you we graded your paper whenever we could fit it into ours.
November 2004 Update
He staired at the camera a lot.
Derek chose to display his nervousness by walking around holding a quivering arm.
His monologue ended with him throwing the dagger off the cliff, not himself.
Hamlets, like snowflakes, are never identical.
He stands right before the mirror and thrusts wholeheartedly before the glass.
The man in the production, while all together, had alcohol and simple structures in the set design by scenic designer.
The emotions and the visuals appeals of the romance comedy fled through the designs of the costumes and sound.
There was no eye linear on her face.
The costume placed enfaces on the theme.
The servants all show their preference for life.
The use of color was very evident and portrayed many scenes in the mood of color.
The use of blush and the white foundation used brought out the lady within Aaron. The set director had to create bosoms.
This play reminded me of dating in grammar school.
Her dress was clearly the Titanic of fashion.
The costumes dignified the greatest issue of deceit in the play.
It was evident these men wear wealthy aristocrats.
She goes down on her niece for reading.
She was very skatter-brained.
She exposes her wealth to her suitors through her clothes.
The fact that her dress is one that does not hide but rather accentuates her breasts is significant. There has to be a reason aside from her money that she is so popular.
I am not an avid theatre patron but there was not much to the set. (hurh?)
This play is a large comedy involvement within the characters and their use of language.
The actors were design to were clothing.
The mens' pants were tight and they had panties on. (note: I saw this play. To the best of my knowledge the state of the mens' underthings was impossible to ascertain.)
It helped the actors to acting their characters at a different level.
The hairstyle he has on his head tells the audience what he is thinking.
The audience can easily define the different location of the play, it must be the remark of the set designer group.
It is important to realize that because the play is a comedy it should not end in tragedy.
I liked him because I saw so much of myself in him. Although he was an old man, he liked to drink a lot.
Movies do not allow me to feel as if I am part of the play.
I would rather be lying by the pool than sitting in a cold theatre.
The singers were all dressed to read. Many of them wore plaid or stripped clothing.
Apparently the money is going to support a local diaper bank. I'm not sure what that means, but I know this show needed a diaper, because quite frankly it was crap.
This is a very well don't performance that I would recommend to anyone.
Going into the play, I thought to myself "Two and a half hours of singing? How will I ever stay awake?"
Peter Pan was written by Sir James Barbie.
I have heard there was a book based on Oliver: The Musical but I wasn't able to find it.
It does in face take place at his home.
There are many reasons why to how I feel my character works.
March 2005 Update
This play was a mind trenching experience.
He is an Obstetrication.
She questions weather she took the proper action.
This play deals with guilt and how sometimes in life we make decision that we cannot take back and how forgiveness is a hard thing to do and how families interact under stress and pay for the mistakes others make and also addresses the question of whether or not it is ethical to take unnecessary risks with other peoples' lives. (oh my god STOP FOR BREATH.)
My favorite character is the bases for this theme. (ALL YOUR CHARACTER ARE BELONG TO ME!)
Many times family and friends must reinforce the beneficence in each of us.
He performs an emergency sea-section on the pregnant woman.
They carry on in a very vivid manor.
She seemed to be always watching from above, in a angelic manor. (Manor/Manner is apparently a common mistake...)
Her disease is a direct illusion to the problems eating away at her.
She is racked by inner turmoil.
The conflict between them has escaladed at this point.
Cory was recruited by a college couch.
These two but heads the most in the play.
She betrays her character, a pasture's wife, extremely well.
I am of coarse talking about the protagonist.
Death is an unpleasant ending.
He has been seeing a destitute instead of coming home to his wife every night. (While many prostitutes may also BE destitute...)
It has defiled all forms of medical treatment.
He was full of mal contempt.
April 2005 Update
Although the set remained the same throughout the entire play, the "bad characters" often had many people in toe as guards or followers.
The play, which I attended at the [name removed] theater which an excellent portal of the play by William Shakespeare. The playwright's thoughts and ideas came through his choice of design very well.
The use of the scrim helped with imaging events taking place in a much more dramatic level.
The royalty had very fancy looking clothes, and the poor woman looked very nappy and ugly. This differentiated also helped in signifying which ones were though highly of and which ones not. It really made a great distinguish with which one was characters were more respected, liked, and was thought to turn into something great when they were older.
I think that the play came out great and I felt the experience to see a great show with the great effects. (Tell me...was it great?)
William Shakespeare wrote this play and as with many of his plays, it is still being performed today.
The designer chose to shine water through a gobo to get a wavy effect onstage.
The audience understanding of the cause events taking place was necessity.
His pink pants were sort of gay.
Skulls are bad things and symbols of evil people.
Shakespeare wants you to do this, even when it maybe hard. (This is my new favourite argument. "But Shakespeare wants you to do this!")
The designers chose torn up costumes to show the characters' dirty conduct through clothing.
Alongside with this theme is the idea that endearment will bring good things.
His costume is made to endure rough challenges and evils.
Her snow white dress with glitters represents her purity and love that makes her shine with glitters.
She must overcoming the pressures of being in captive.
This evilness does not go undone.
The local Reparatory theatre.
A lot of afford went into making the costumes.
The set planed by the set designer was a simply setting.
The play surrounds a plot affiliating with murder and incest.
As the play took its course I began to become fond of its nakedness.
Kabuki theatre is Japanese most famous theatre.
About this time, Shakespeare was writing on the western front.
It is truly impressive to see fist hand.
The costumes were typical of those worn at the time of Shakesprear.
Shakespeare's story was unwrapped in humorous ways.
This costume represents his majestuocity.
He meets different adventures along the way to conquer these feets.
He was u and in power.
The costumes reminded me of the movie Troy, so I liked them.
Also, the devout young lady who serenaded me last time with an irrelevant but heartfelt discussion of the importance of the birth of Christ is back with an even less relevant discussion of an Old Testament classic:
This play reminds me of biblical story in the Old Testament called Jobe. In that story Jobe losses everything. He lost his family and his family and his fortune, home, and cattle. He never losses his faith and never takes Gods name in vein.
A black banana ties her hair back.
His dislike is not directed towards her, just her sandwich.
Clothing is second only to his desire not to get eaten by a bear.
Buenos Aires is associated with an exotic, fanatical place.
HI, I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I WON'T BE ATTENDING CLASS FOR TEH NEXT WEEK BECAUSE I HAVE GONE HOME TO CALIFORNIA WITH MONO. I SHOULD BE BETTER AND BACK AT SCHOOL AFTER THE THANKSGIVING BREAK. I AM SENDING MY REVIEW 4 TO A CLASSMATE TO TURN IN FOR ME, AND WANTED TO KNOW IF I MISSING ANYTHING ELSE. I ALSO STARTED TO READ THE PLAY LITTLE WOMAN AND WANT TO KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE OK FOR MY PAPER, BECAUSE TEH OTHER PLAY I WAS READING WAS NOT INTERESTING AND HARD TO READ...
I picked up one essay and read, as a thesis, "The customs of this play give a great representation of the personality of the characters, as the actors themselves provide an exquisite entertainment." I thought oh no, I'll have to mark her down -- "Customs" is certainly not on the list of elements that they can write about in the review. Then I read: "The customs represented each character's lifestyle. For example, [so and so's] custom, a fire red dress with red high heels..." All we can think is that she spellchecked it and hit "correct all" when Word suggested "custom" instead of "costume". That's what I want to be when I grow up -- a CUSTOM DESIGNER!

Highlights of recent scoring:
The Gay Cowboy Essay. Even leaving aside the fandom synchronicity, it was actually a damn good paper. We get a lot of papers by kids who are involved in rodeo sports or work on ranches. This kid talked about how his best friend, who came to work on his dad's ranch last summer, helped him realise that he was gay and that it was okay to be a gay cowboy because, and I quote, "People are scared you'll shoot them if they call you a faggot". Swear to god. It was awesome.
The girl who, with complete earnestness, wrote about her love for John Inman. Who is John Inman, you ask? He is Mr. Humphries on Are You Being Served. Yes. Mr. Humphries is the campy one.
A paper about a family of stray cats: the protagonist, Jack, wanted to be just like his older brother Spot. He even did drugs like his older brother Spot did. Yes, drugs. Cats doing drugs. And one day, while they were high on Crystal -- perhaps even crystal myth! -- a Great Dane ate Jack. That was when Spot discovered the diary that JACK THE CAT kept and realised he'd ruined his brother's life.
The story of the student's ESL teacher, and how he found her crying yesterday because she was worried he wouldn't do well on his essay. Basically, the essay could be summed up in the phrase "Please don't make my ESL teacher cry". It worked, too. I passed him.

Spectacle was left to a minim in order to focus on the play.
The designs were large and elaborate, with spikes, boots, and hair.
The makeup clearly illustrates the immorality and levity of the characters. (she uses "levity" to describe a dead man. )
The designer used a skrim, an opaque screen that is taught. (in the theatre, a scrim is a taut piece of fabric which becomes transparent under certain conditions)

This is the point where the end becomes inevitably.
The first scene is the climax of the play.
The climax of the play undoubtedly occurred at the end, or near it.

The highest point comes from when during the fistfight.
When this happens, he is finally pushed over the age.
In this play there is very much crisis.
Alex deems a complex character.
I can put more, but I assume this is enough.

From that point on it's all dropping bodies.
The exact crisis is that everything goes wrong and everyone dies. (Wow. Way to be precise, yo.)
Hamlet dies from a small piercing.
The family struggled against the disgrace brought on my having a love child.

In fact, the play was incredibly slow up until the arrival of the men.
His only purpose is to dance around all retarded.
This was a very well sought out play.
He has also breaded the protagonist, making this play even more unique. (I honestly have no idea what this person means here. None at all. Normally I have a clue; nope, not in this case.)
This was a very intuitive play that is filled with many different dialogue that is important to listen to. It was pact filled with great life lessons.
John Hawthorne is one of the antagonists and his name contains the word thorn which is never a good thing.
Further than that, at the hand of more research, I chose this play.
At the heart of Joe is a corrupt spine. He even divulges in a kiss with Louis.
I thought this project was very helping in getting me to think.
The bold and vibrant colors reflected the ear in which the play was set.
It displayed a certain heir of high social class. Chic dresses were worn and tuxedos with colored cumber buns were present.
When I attended the play I sat in an isle seat.
Sign language was a significant element in narrating the story of a young, def girl who is made fun of by the town. (Yes, they mock her 80's chic; she is just too def for them.)
The final section of the set was the tact room, where they kept all of their tools.
The black robe had plastic gems and a trim of gold lamiae. (lamiae are a type of Greek vampire.)
First, I felt close to the actors because I could wee their facial expressions.
This play was performed at a college in the middle of now where.
All of the actors had great facials and body movements.
Barnaby exemplified the look of a butler with his gold collar, black bow tie, and white testes.
He was outstanding at acting and making hypothetical gestures.
For example, the fake cardbord crocodiles aroused the audience with their unbelievable appearance.
Minus his age, Jason did a great job of portraying his actor.
This play was about a parliament being accused of killing the chauffeur.
Nothing turned the audience's buttons on more than the actors of this production.
This yellow light extenuated the idea of the sparkle.
Another big hit in the set design was the side effects, such as smoking.
One scene that caught my eye in particular was the scene that was done in the sewer for the floating crap game.
The lights created an underwater delusion.
Top Girls could be metaphoric in many of ways.
It is much harder for me to read a play and interrupt it.
I especially enjoyed her floofing. She constantly floofed her dress, she constantly floofed her hair. She walked like a floof, and let her hands flop (or floof) around.
The witty humor had me laughing so hard I feared I might loose the contents of my bladder.(Note to everyone ever in the universe: NOBODY EVER WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR BLADDER IN AN ESSAY.)
I felt that I could relate to her and her young style because she was a part of the youngest couple and had a winy personality, somewhat similar to mine.
I thought that everything she did was overdone, like her walking, talking, and nicotine addiction.
The lyrics of this play can be accredited for make this play so enjoyable. (this is the same girl who wrote me an email ALL IN CAPS LOCK and then, in her paper, never once capitalised AIDS.)
She expressed the verbatim with effective allusions designed to reveal everything, yet remain tasteful.
Also, the play kind of left me feeling dirty because they talked about sex. However, mixing in some sexual events made the play fun and exciting.
Life isn't fair because the world is run by the corrupted minds of men, and it can't be undone for the world itself is evil.
This play takes us back to the 16th century of Ancient Greece.
When first walking into the arena theatre, I wasn't sure if I was walking into an arena or a theatre.
The writing flowed as smooth as birds over fluffy white-knit clouds.
Towards the end I started to believe I was at some distorted Abercrombie and Fitch catalog shooting instead of a college play.
The show started after a big financial loss from fire damage, for that reason, I had good feelings about the play.
This was one of those plays that you'll remember for forever. (This comes from a student who DID NOT SEE THE SHOW.)
They end the scene with very little clothing on, making the show a real hit.
The mood was sad, yet happy.
The suits with little and tutus kept me entertained.
The sight of Jeff talking like a cat had everyone in splits.
On a play ostentatiously set in the 1940's: This play mixes love, friendship and mischief in the mid 19th century...

The title means it's important to be serious and sincere, yet it's also just as important, if not more so, to be named Ernest.
I chose this play because it was short and easy to read.
Overall I enjoyed the play because it was odd and short.
The experience of the theatre is phenomenal and must not go untaken.
Just like Willy Loman in the play, my father wants me to have a successful and happy life. That is why I am in college, and that is why I am writing this paper.
And the "I got high before typing this review" award goes to: While I believe some actors did this very will I do believe some actors did not. One of these is [character's name], who I did not believe hold the same characteristics throughout the movie.
This person began their paper with: Luckily I do not have to write a paper on the acting in this play. I do not major in theatre arts but I was told by someone who did that the acting in this production was horrible.
I especially liked the kid who referred to Death of a Salesman as a domestic comedy. Yeah, that Arthur Miller, what a hoot he is. Didn't he write for Friends for a while?
One student described Anything Goes -- yes, ANYTHING GOES -- as "a little weighty for me". God I hope he doesn't really know what weighty means.
And this, my friends, is the entirety of one of the papers: [Name removed] is the driving force in the play. The cast includes his wife, children, and friend. To be honest I have only skimmed the play and I left my copy at home in the rush to leave. I can not remember what the conflict was.
But these sarcasms are my favourite:
I would have to say the highlight of the evening came when the waitress brought our food and drinks. The only reason I would go back is to have more of the delicious pizza served during the show.
The actors shouted their lines out at the crowd, and while this technique might work for an overenthusiastic professor lecturing in an auditorium...
I would not recommend this play to those who can still hear and see.
The play hit the ground walking and only proceeded to lose momentum from there.
This production was an epic of student-sized proportions.
This is not a play I would have recommended to someone to write an eight page paper on.
The lighting in this play was masterfully adequate.
This play was honestly a waste of two hours and forty minutes of my life that I would like to have back.
gems from
blythely: Undergrad Essays for Biology, Anthropology and Psychology.It is important to consider the world in an evolutionary contempt.
If it is true that intelligence is heritable I think it would be dangerous for society. It opens the way to things that could tear society apart and threaten our basic rights, such as eugenics, the selective breeding of the human race is an awful thing to contemplate.
In summing up I conclude that intelligence is genetic, heritable and modifiable and offers no valid reason for total pessimism and thus conclude there are many valid reasons for optimism.
Psychology is an ever changing science, which is difficult.
In 1971, Robert Smith conquered another success in demonstrating the use of this technique.
I think that human evolution similarly to evolution of other organisms was mosaic and the intriguing field of anthropology is to piece together the beautifully mosaic picture of how Homo came to evolve into the complex creature that is each one of us.
The claim is surrounded by many viewpoints that has led biologists, psychologists, philosophers, evolutionists and many other academia wondering.
We are aware of our intelligence. We know who is smarter and who is not.
The intelligence that arises from an increase in brain size, substantially benefits all beings in their search for a better way of life.
Bigger brains enable the development of better tools and better weapons, which improves nourishment to the brain.
It was a long road to full bipedality and there were a number of steps long the way. (I gave this girl the red pen for her bad puns)
Furthermore, having able to migrate from Africa to Europe and Asia in those days was not an easy and simple task to do. (c. 2 million years ago)
Human adaptive advantage was acquired as the brain evolved functions that were both selectively important and ensured the survival of the species. (in a test answer for Explain the problems with "survival of the species"?)
For even the scientists to make such teleological statements, provides evidence that teleological thought is a module with no way of escaping its clutches (until such time that evolution decides to through another curve ball our way).
From the very begininng of human existence, it seems we have had a propensity to kill our fellow human beings.
May 2004 Update:
The play appeals to its audience because it has comedy, action, music, and death.
He attaches her with a rifle.
Her overal sexual appeal made for a very enjoyable viewing experience. Her desire-inducing body and accentuating wardrobe was not lost on me.
To convince the audience of his nerdiness, he uses a very whinny voice.
Death is an underlying film throughout the play.
Since recently becoming an avid theatre viewer, this is one of the best plays that I have ever seen.
He destroys because he can't bare it any longer.
I worked closely with the playwrighter; we incremented sounds into the script.
In the end of the play Marie dies in a horrible car accident near the school. After a night of heavy drinking Marie felt that she was in good condition to drive home and learned the hard way that she was not.
They looked like they were dressed for the artic.
This is a playwright about a young man.
This is a group of men and women who revolve their unfortunate around the street in which they live.
This actress looked the most evil to me because the approach the director took in making the actress look like a woman who was capable of doing evil things.
Dishonest people always loose in the end.
The play portrait it beautifully.
The tycoon is a very rich and snoody man.

October 2004 Update
I did not read this play. I read another play instead.
The characters that are in most conflicts throughout the play is between the father and his son.
I did not read the play. I won't bother wasting your time with what I "picked up" on the play five minutes before class. Your welcome.
This is all I've read up to so far. I was going to speculate further but that probably isn't a good plan.
For me thinking about death is always a conflict one I usually lose and just try to forget about.
In this playwright the whole conflict of the play is him against everything.
He has been plaqueged with conflict from his ancestors.
I did not read the play because this is my first day in this class and I did not get the book until I knew I needed it which was Sunday and in the email to me from you. It was said that I just needed the book.
The two characters who are most in conflict are most definitely the father and son. Though there is a lot of conflict, I feel the main conflict is between father and son. Looking back on the play's central conflict it is obvious that the conflict is between father and son.
Her promiscuous behavior is often made null by her corky attitude.
The ways he acts out are very funny, like he dropped the pant down in act two and also he slapped a woman's ass in act three.
I related to her in the fact that I as well have blonde moments even as a brunette.
When she gets the flowers, she seems just as frilled as if they were roses.
From the movements to the accents it all came together as one big art.
Plays give people the opportunity to let lose.
He is having difficulty finding work because he is in love, with alcohol.
I was bored with the first seen.
His portentiousness is so deep that he has no regard for pregnant women at all.
This play is about a group of people and their personal sha nan a gans.
I would like to get to the bottom of these questions someday, hint, hint :)
I was expecting a middle-aged drunk man, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that he was a slightly-older-than-middle-aged drunk man.
It is hard for a human to become an actor.
This play is a play with another play.
He plays two women against each other without their knowledge. I find this typical of male arrogance.
That is when the emotions start to fly.
The performance was entertaining and boring.
This play was witty, with parts that were just as funny as a Ben Stiller movie.
It reminded me of when I messed up during my Bar Mitzvah and nobody noticed.
His short tongue seemed to have a subliminal purpose.
He does anything in his wit to keep a bottle of booze in his mouth.
The sexual humour begins when she puts her head in his crouch.
These are introduced in a subtle manor.
An unexpected bonus for me in the theater was that I sat next to two beautiful girls. This was a large cause for inflating the rating that I gave this play, which was a nine.
If the company wants to attract more students, the play should present the cast in more revealing clothing and adopt a hip hop theme song. Of course this is just me adding my un-solicitated advice. (on a play set quite clearly in the 1970s.)
The production had a lot of minor and major quarks.
At first I felt the way I might if I were babysitting rambunctions triplets, but by the end of the show I felt like I had just run five miles while laughing.
One can tell he has great familiarity with being drunk.
This has alluded them for the entire play.
I have never been intrigued by plays. It wouldn't matter who was on stage, it just does not appeal to me as a person. That's just not who I am. I have always been more of an outdoors person; if I sit too long then I am not a happy camper.
To which I replied, "Aside from your dislike of sitting still (which I assume means you do not go to movies or watch much television), what about THIS PLAY didn't you like?"
Flipping through the program before the performance started I found myself dreading the next three hours. Eighteen dollars, a two page paper and a waste of a night is all that was going through my mind. The class does not apply to my major, and quite honestly I only took it because it was a perfect fit for my schedule and a student suggested it to me.
Note to students: It is not wise to tell your teachers you are only taking their class because it fit into your course schedule. We are likely to tell you we graded your paper whenever we could fit it into ours.
November 2004 Update
He staired at the camera a lot.
Derek chose to display his nervousness by walking around holding a quivering arm.
His monologue ended with him throwing the dagger off the cliff, not himself.
Hamlets, like snowflakes, are never identical.
He stands right before the mirror and thrusts wholeheartedly before the glass.
The man in the production, while all together, had alcohol and simple structures in the set design by scenic designer.
The emotions and the visuals appeals of the romance comedy fled through the designs of the costumes and sound.
There was no eye linear on her face.
The costume placed enfaces on the theme.
The servants all show their preference for life.
The use of color was very evident and portrayed many scenes in the mood of color.
The use of blush and the white foundation used brought out the lady within Aaron. The set director had to create bosoms.
This play reminded me of dating in grammar school.
Her dress was clearly the Titanic of fashion.
The costumes dignified the greatest issue of deceit in the play.
It was evident these men wear wealthy aristocrats.
She goes down on her niece for reading.
She was very skatter-brained.
She exposes her wealth to her suitors through her clothes.
The fact that her dress is one that does not hide but rather accentuates her breasts is significant. There has to be a reason aside from her money that she is so popular.
I am not an avid theatre patron but there was not much to the set. (hurh?)
This play is a large comedy involvement within the characters and their use of language.
The actors were design to were clothing.
The mens' pants were tight and they had panties on. (note: I saw this play. To the best of my knowledge the state of the mens' underthings was impossible to ascertain.)
It helped the actors to acting their characters at a different level.
The hairstyle he has on his head tells the audience what he is thinking.
The audience can easily define the different location of the play, it must be the remark of the set designer group.
It is important to realize that because the play is a comedy it should not end in tragedy.
I liked him because I saw so much of myself in him. Although he was an old man, he liked to drink a lot.
Movies do not allow me to feel as if I am part of the play.
I would rather be lying by the pool than sitting in a cold theatre.
The singers were all dressed to read. Many of them wore plaid or stripped clothing.
Apparently the money is going to support a local diaper bank. I'm not sure what that means, but I know this show needed a diaper, because quite frankly it was crap.
This is a very well don't performance that I would recommend to anyone.
Going into the play, I thought to myself "Two and a half hours of singing? How will I ever stay awake?"
Peter Pan was written by Sir James Barbie.
I have heard there was a book based on Oliver: The Musical but I wasn't able to find it.
It does in face take place at his home.
There are many reasons why to how I feel my character works.
March 2005 Update
This play was a mind trenching experience.
He is an Obstetrication.
She questions weather she took the proper action.
This play deals with guilt and how sometimes in life we make decision that we cannot take back and how forgiveness is a hard thing to do and how families interact under stress and pay for the mistakes others make and also addresses the question of whether or not it is ethical to take unnecessary risks with other peoples' lives. (oh my god STOP FOR BREATH.)
My favorite character is the bases for this theme. (ALL YOUR CHARACTER ARE BELONG TO ME!)
Many times family and friends must reinforce the beneficence in each of us.
He performs an emergency sea-section on the pregnant woman.
They carry on in a very vivid manor.
She seemed to be always watching from above, in a angelic manor. (Manor/Manner is apparently a common mistake...)
Her disease is a direct illusion to the problems eating away at her.
She is racked by inner turmoil.
The conflict between them has escaladed at this point.
Cory was recruited by a college couch.
These two but heads the most in the play.
She betrays her character, a pasture's wife, extremely well.
I am of coarse talking about the protagonist.
Death is an unpleasant ending.
He has been seeing a destitute instead of coming home to his wife every night. (While many prostitutes may also BE destitute...)
It has defiled all forms of medical treatment.
He was full of mal contempt.
April 2005 Update
Although the set remained the same throughout the entire play, the "bad characters" often had many people in toe as guards or followers.
The play, which I attended at the [name removed] theater which an excellent portal of the play by William Shakespeare. The playwright's thoughts and ideas came through his choice of design very well.
The use of the scrim helped with imaging events taking place in a much more dramatic level.
The royalty had very fancy looking clothes, and the poor woman looked very nappy and ugly. This differentiated also helped in signifying which ones were though highly of and which ones not. It really made a great distinguish with which one was characters were more respected, liked, and was thought to turn into something great when they were older.
I think that the play came out great and I felt the experience to see a great show with the great effects. (Tell me...was it great?)
William Shakespeare wrote this play and as with many of his plays, it is still being performed today.
The designer chose to shine water through a gobo to get a wavy effect onstage.
The audience understanding of the cause events taking place was necessity.
His pink pants were sort of gay.
Skulls are bad things and symbols of evil people.
Shakespeare wants you to do this, even when it maybe hard. (This is my new favourite argument. "But Shakespeare wants you to do this!")
The designers chose torn up costumes to show the characters' dirty conduct through clothing.
Alongside with this theme is the idea that endearment will bring good things.
His costume is made to endure rough challenges and evils.
Her snow white dress with glitters represents her purity and love that makes her shine with glitters.
She must overcoming the pressures of being in captive.
This evilness does not go undone.
The local Reparatory theatre.
A lot of afford went into making the costumes.
The set planed by the set designer was a simply setting.
The play surrounds a plot affiliating with murder and incest.
As the play took its course I began to become fond of its nakedness.
Kabuki theatre is Japanese most famous theatre.
About this time, Shakespeare was writing on the western front.
It is truly impressive to see fist hand.
The costumes were typical of those worn at the time of Shakesprear.
Shakespeare's story was unwrapped in humorous ways.
This costume represents his majestuocity.
He meets different adventures along the way to conquer these feets.
He was u and in power.
The costumes reminded me of the movie Troy, so I liked them.
Also, the devout young lady who serenaded me last time with an irrelevant but heartfelt discussion of the importance of the birth of Christ is back with an even less relevant discussion of an Old Testament classic:
This play reminds me of biblical story in the Old Testament called Jobe. In that story Jobe losses everything. He lost his family and his family and his fortune, home, and cattle. He never losses his faith and never takes Gods name in vein.
A black banana ties her hair back.
His dislike is not directed towards her, just her sandwich.
Clothing is second only to his desire not to get eaten by a bear.
Buenos Aires is associated with an exotic, fanatical place.
HI, I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I WON'T BE ATTENDING CLASS FOR TEH NEXT WEEK BECAUSE I HAVE GONE HOME TO CALIFORNIA WITH MONO. I SHOULD BE BETTER AND BACK AT SCHOOL AFTER THE THANKSGIVING BREAK. I AM SENDING MY REVIEW 4 TO A CLASSMATE TO TURN IN FOR ME, AND WANTED TO KNOW IF I MISSING ANYTHING ELSE. I ALSO STARTED TO READ THE PLAY LITTLE WOMAN AND WANT TO KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE OK FOR MY PAPER, BECAUSE TEH OTHER PLAY I WAS READING WAS NOT INTERESTING AND HARD TO READ...
I picked up one essay and read, as a thesis, "The customs of this play give a great representation of the personality of the characters, as the actors themselves provide an exquisite entertainment." I thought oh no, I'll have to mark her down -- "Customs" is certainly not on the list of elements that they can write about in the review. Then I read: "The customs represented each character's lifestyle. For example, [so and so's] custom, a fire red dress with red high heels..." All we can think is that she spellchecked it and hit "correct all" when Word suggested "custom" instead of "costume". That's what I want to be when I grow up -- a CUSTOM DESIGNER!

Highlights of recent scoring:
The Gay Cowboy Essay. Even leaving aside the fandom synchronicity, it was actually a damn good paper. We get a lot of papers by kids who are involved in rodeo sports or work on ranches. This kid talked about how his best friend, who came to work on his dad's ranch last summer, helped him realise that he was gay and that it was okay to be a gay cowboy because, and I quote, "People are scared you'll shoot them if they call you a faggot". Swear to god. It was awesome.

That was when Spot discovered the diary that JACK THE CAT kept and realised he'd ruined his brother's life.
The story of the student's ESL teacher, and how he found her crying yesterday because she was worried he wouldn't do well on his essay. Basically, the essay could be summed up in the phrase "Please don't make my ESL teacher cry". It worked, too. I passed him.

I think that makes the intent clear without completely rewriting? I mean, it's still an awful sentence, but reading it that way I got "narrator, love, broken family," which can be many plays, but if it's Theatre Appreciation, the odds of Menagerie are high.

Is there some error I just can't spot, or is it just an issue of style - or something else altogether? I'm not fluent in English myself so as far as I know I could be missing something quite obvious here.
