How do the texts differ from one another in content, form, voice, and genre?Which seem like the “best written”? Why?

Text wrestling Analysis
To practice critical, analytical thinking through the medium of writing, you will perform a text wrestling analysis and synthesize your findings in an essay driven by a central, unifying insight presented as a thesis and supported by evidence.
Assignment
First, you will determine which text it is that you’d like to analyze. Your teacher might provide a
specific text or set of texts to choose from, or they may allow you to choose your own.
1) If your teacher assigns a specific text, follow the steps in the next section.
2) If your teacher assigns a set of texts to choose from, read each of them once. Then,
narrow it down by asking yourself,
a. Which texts were most striking or curious? Which raised the most questions for
you as a reader?
b. How do the texts differ from one another in content, form, voice, and genre?
c. Which seem like the “best written”? Why?
d. Which can you relate to personally?
Try to narrow down to two or three texts that you particularly appreciate. Then try to
determine which of these will help you write the best close reading essay possible.
Follow the steps from #1 once you’ve determined your focus text.
3) If your teacher allows you to choose any text you want, they probably did so because
they want you to choose a text that means a lot to you personally.
a. Consider first what medium or genre would be most appropriate and exciting, keeping in mind any restrictions your teacher might have set.
b. Then, brainstorm what topics seem relevant and interesting to you.
c. Finally, try to encounter at least three or four different texts so you can test the
waters.

Within complex and ever-shifting realms of power relations, do we position ourselves on the side of colonizing mentality?

the essay question is :

‘Within complex and ever-shifting realms of power relations, do we position ourselves on the side of colonizing mentality? Or do we continue to stand in political resistance with the oppressed, ready to offer our ways of seeing and theorizing, of making culture, towards that revolutionary effort which seeks to create space where there is unlimited access to the pleasure and power of knowing, where transformation is possible? (bell hooks, Yearning: Race, Gender, and Cultural Politics: Choosing the Margin as a Space of Radical Openness (New York, London: Routledge, 2015) p. 145). Discuss this quotation in relation to at least TWO examples of performance from at least TWO weeks on the Culture and Performance A module. Be sure to give equal weight to each performance you analyse.

Why and how the characters change from ancient creatures to the people of today?Does the identity of each character change between the first and the second part?How and Why?

Needs to pass through turnitin plagiarism. Directions. By now you have learned much about various kinds of theatre and the process of staging a play. You have also read Is the One I Love Everywhere (Links to an external site. https://www.freecultureinvisible.com/product/is-the-one-i-love-everywhere/) and seen a video of Seven Stages (Links to an external site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1WeoXcHQ9s). This essay must be 1500 words in length. In this essay, you should utilize what you have learned throughout the course to write about the process of staging a theatre production from the beginning (the script) to the end (performance in front of a live audience.) So, first, read the play Is the One I Love Everywhere? carefully and entirely. Then watch the 1991 theatre production of this play which is titled Seven Stages. You may have to watch the production and/or read the script more than once in order to capture details in writing your essay. Remember, this essay carries 1/4 of your course grade. So pay special attention to details. The following are some points that may help you in writing this essay:

What genre of theatre would you place this play in and why?
Does this play have a message? What is that message? Do we, as the audience, take away (learn) anything after reading/watching this play? What?
Who are the characters in this play? Do they resemble certain individuals or are they archetypes? Why do you think so?
Why do characters speak in different languages during the first stage? What does that signify?
How does the prologue (written in English in the play, but spoken in Persian in the production) help set the stage for the rest of the play, both in the script and in the production?
The play is in two parts. The first is set in ancient times and the second in modern times. Explained why the playwright chose to set the play within these two periods. How do the two parts relate to one another? How does dividing the play into two-part help foster the message of this play?
Why and how the characters change from ancient creatures to the people of today?Does the identity of each character change between the first and the second part? How and Why?
The 1991 production of this play was subtitled “a journey in process.” Now that you have read the script and watched the production, what do you think they meant by labeling the production as “a journey in process?”
A critic called the play “simply spiritual.” Do you agree with this critic? Explain why you do or do not agree with this critic?
This play was created 30 years ago, yet the script is published now. How is the play relevant to both time periods? How did it relate to the time when it was produced (1991), and what is its relevance to today?
In the textbook, we learned that acting is about wanting. A character always wants something, and during the play, s/he tries to achieve what s/he wants. If this is correct, then what do these characters want? How do they go about achieving what they want?

Create and upload a meme here about how you understand the “dilemmas” faced by women’s roles in European drama.

Select an aspect of our social life or culture that once held religious significance, but has now become secularized. Using this secularized piece of culture, and through your research, create a list of social factors that contributed to the religious elements diminishing over time.

Compose a short paper on how these social factors evolved over time to result in the “script” we have inherited of the piece of once-religious-now-secular culture we understand to exist today.

Assignment 3-Character Biography B

Assignment 3 – Write Character Biography B (Three-page Cultural Context Journal). This three-page paper requires that students examine a major character in School Girls within its historical, political, and social context. The paper then needs to be written from the viewpoint and in the voice of the chosen character.

Here are some questions to consider:

What are the major social/economic/political events that impact the character during the play?

What life experiences (given circumstances) have impacted the character’s outlook on relationships and other issues in the play?

How do images and/or experiences of America (compared to their homeland) impact the word view of the character?

You will need to do research into the period of the play and understand important events in the play to gain an understanding of the cultural context. It is best to focus on a particular event or issue than trying to generalize over a broad range of subjects.

Les Blancs (“The Whites”) is an English-language play by American playwright Lorraine Hansberry. It debuted on Broadway on November 15, 1970 and ran until December 19, 1970. The play was Lorraine Hansberry’s final work and she considered it her most important, as it depicts the plights of colonialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is her only play that takes place in Africa, and it uses both dance and music as signifiers of black and African cultures, a concept called the Black Aesthetic.

The play is about the experience of settlers, natives, and an American journalist in an unnamed African country in the waning days of colonial control.

The title is an echo reference to Jean Genet’s 1959 play Les Negres (The Blacks), which Hansberry saw,and critically reviewed, during its 1960 U.S. premiere run.
