Noises Off Response I really enjoyed the comedy aspect of Noises Off. I particularly found the first portion of the film, where the actors are performing a dress rehearsal, to be amusing. I think it highlights, in a comedic way, how difficult it can be to actually put on a production. Lloyds frustration is funny…

Inherit the Wind Response I found Inherit the Wind to be an entertaining read. I really enjoy the genre of ‘courtroom drama’ both in film and television shows, and this play certainly encapsulates much of what makes this topic so captivating to watch.

A boy was born and he became himself. I still remember seeing this little boy sitting all alone, playing all by himself while I was springing…

Youth and Time is what I have, it is something so precious that millions would kill for. Alas what good is a treasure if not in proper use. To know that something is precious and valuable but not know how to obtain its value, is a terrible burden. To know that something has to be…

Last Saturday, I went to Zoo Atlanta for my 21st birthday. I saw some giraffes, a red panda, bought a churro—all according to plan. About midday, I predicted that I was going to be hungry very soon, so I took one of my friends with me into one of the indoor eateries so that I…
