Romeo and juliet
Dines Selvarajah Essay Title: How does Shakespeare use dramatic devices in Act 3 Scene 1 of 'Romeo and Juliet` in order to make it an exciting scene and a turning point in the play? Romeo and Juliet is an exciting play because, it begins with a public brawl between two families called Capulet's and Montague's. The scene grabs the audience's attention, it is very lively and unpredictable, and it almost makes you jump of your seat. Act 3 scene 1 echoes the theme of hatred and violence amongst the families. It is also exhilarating and moving because, it has an energetic feeling, you can anticipate something bad might happen. The fighting scene sets an aggressive atmosphere, which may shock most readers. It almost makes your speechless and static as you are drawn into the scene, which creates a climax that gradually unfolds the turning point of the play .The two directors Baz Luhrmann (old version) and Franco Zeffirelli (new version) have interpreted the scene differently as where Baz Luhrmann has made it as Mercutio was killed by accident, in Franco Zeffirelli we know he was killed straight away by the gun shot. In Baz Luhrmann's version dramatic irony was used as a close up of Tybalt's sword was shown with the blood so we all knew Mercutio was dying while the characters thought it was all a joke until Mercutio was dead. At the beginning of the scene the atmosphere was soft
Shakespeare.
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon on April 23rd, 1564. John Shakespeare, William's father, was a Glover and a Whittaker. He was a highly successful and respected man of high status. His father held many public official positions: mayor, town council man, and justice of peace. Shakespeare's father could not write. In 1576, John's business went down. He stopped attending meetings and social events. Shakespeare was twelve at this time. Shakespeare's mother was Mary Arden. She came from a wealthy family who paid a handsome dowry to marry her off. While living on Henley Street, she had eight children with the Shakespeare name. Shakespeare went to Stratford Grammar School where he studied classics written in Greek and Latin. His teachers gave him the incentive to read. He was taught by two Oxford graduates, Simon Hunt and Thomas Jenkins. Shakespeare had an unusual keen observation of both nature and mankind. His education was said to have ended here. On November 27, 1582, Shakespeare married Ann Hathaway who was twenty-eight years old. On May 26, 1583, Ann bore their first daughter, Susanna. In 1585, a set of twins were born, Judith and Hamlet. Hamlet died at the age of eleven in 1596. No evidence was found of Shakespeare between the years of 1585-1592. These years of Shakespeare's life were called "The Hidden Years". During Shakespeare's Hidden Years, many people

Drama Evaluation - Theatre In Education No Smoking. As a group we were confronted with the task of creating a piece of drama, for educational use. We decided to choose a 9-10 year-old audience, as found in a last year class of primary school. As a result of the audience, we chose a topic, which they will, or already have covered; this topic was the dangers of smoking. The theme was a 1950's comic superhero style. We created very animated characters, such as Dr. Cigaro, and Will Power, whilst using frequent humour to soften a usually poignant topic, which involves serious illnesses including death, and are very heavy topics for 10 year olds. Our base aim was to prevent children, who are highly influenced from becoming a victim of peer pressure, and smoking. We outlined and focussed on the areas, which involve the ideas that smoking is not a healthy habit, and that it makes you smell, and an irritable and angry person, trivial qualities compared to death, nevertheless we felt it would not have been appropriate to mention this to year 6 children. We essentially wanted to create a piece, which demonstrated the dangers of smoking, and fore-warn the children so that they know the facts, and can be mature in a situation much like Nicky Nicorettes'. However 10 year olds are hardly likely to be spurred by reels and reels of facts. So we had to create a story that they could relate
Which sources of knowledge- books, web sites, the media, personal experience, authorities or some other- do you consider most trustworthy, and why?
Prescribed essay Topic 10: Which sources of knowledge- books, web sites, the media, personal experience, authorities or some other- do you consider most trustworthy, and why? All human beings acquire knowledge, in one way or another. Some of these ways are trustworthier than other, based on their accuracy, preciseness, coherency, and facts...for example. Not every person gets the same knowledge from the same information that is given to other person. Each of us has our own way of acquiring and assimilating information, which sometimes may coincide with other people's or not, depending on how we understand it. I am going to explain which sources of knowledge are those that I prefer, although each of those has not only got positive aspects, but also negative. No matter how accurate a source could be, there would be some negative aspect related to it. On of the sources that I think is one of the trustworthiest is one's experience. Your experience through life will determine a basic knowledge that will be a very good help when you have to deal with new choices ahead of you or when facing new issues. I will talk about the aspects of experience together with the features of senses. Although they are not exactly the same issue, both of them relate to one individual, and this person has a very subjective view of these two. Senses are quite similar to experience in that both of
What are the critical differences between content and process theories in motivation?
Kathryn Perkin UBU number: 001017620 Question 3: What are the critical differences between content and process theories in motivation? Work, Employment and society Peter Prowse Word count: 1994 There are many different things which influence people's behaviour and performance. Different things motivate different people and affect how each person performs. There are many different theories on motivation, which have all been subject to criticism and findings which contradict the original theory. We need to look at what people feel and how they think in order to help predict their behaviour in given situations. To study motivation you need to examine the two main theories: Process and content theories. Content theory: Attempts to explain specific things, which motivate people in different situations. It is concerned with identifying people's needs and strengths. It looks at what motivates a person. Process theory: Attempts to identify relationships among variables which make up motivation. How it is initiated and sustained. It looks at the process of motivation. Content theories There are four main theories of motivation. -Maslow's hierarchy of needs model -Alderfer's modified need hierarchy model -Herzberg's two-factor theory -McClelland's achievement motivation theory Maslow's Hierarchy of needs model This theory was originally published in 1943 and examines
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare The Globe William Shakespeare was one of the most famous play writers of all time. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in England more than four hundred years ago. At the young age of eighteen Shakespeare wedd a woman by the name of Anne Hathaway whom was eight years older than him. Together they had a daughter called Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. Shakespeare decided to start travelling and to go to London. Luckily for Shakespeare just before he went to London, theatres had been opened for travelling actors for they weren't respected and a man by the name of James Burbage wanted to change that. He did this so that actors could gain more dignity. This led to the first public playhouse being built in England. This playhouse was a great success and was very popular so gradually more and more were built. In a playhouse there were three tiers of galleries which looked down to the yard where most of the audience stood. For it was only a penny to stand in the yard whereas in the gallery benches it was two pence. To sit on cushions in the gentlemen's rooms it was three pence and for six pence the well-off would sit in the Lords room. The stage came out into the yard and was open to the sky. Over the back of the stage ran an upper stage and beneath the upper stage was what was known as the tiring house. The tiring house was concealed from the audience by a
William Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare It is believed that William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, on April 26th 1564, but in fact this was the date he was baptised and there is no evidence of the date he was actually born. His father, John Shakespeare, was a whittawer by profession and held several important town offices. His mother, Mary Arden, was from a fairly wealthy family. Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway got married in 1582. William was 18 and Anne was 26. Anne and William's first daughter, Susanna, was baptised on May 26th 1582. A set of twins, Hamnet and Judith, were born two years later. In 1596 Hamnet died at the age of eleven. It is believed that Shakespeare did not have a very good education. He attended Stratford Grammer School, a school that specifically served prominent citizens. It is not known how long Shakespeare attended, but it is assumed that this is the only education he received. Between 1585 and 1592 no records of Shakespeare were found. This period of his life is usually referred to as "The Lost Years". Some have speculated that he either became a schoolteacher, became a butcher's apprentice, or he was running from the law during this time. The first evidence of Shakespeare after 1592 was in London. Here he had established himself as a play writer and actor and had found a sponsor, Henry Wriothsley. However Shakespeare's work in
