Fall 2017 Performance Review On September 29, 2017, I saw the play “Rhinoceros” directed by Billy Houck at Fremont High School in the Shannon Theater. The play was about the appearance of a rhinoceros in a small town. People were quarreling about these rhinoceros; if there was a rhinoceros, if it had 1 or 2 horns, and if the rhinoceros with 1 horn came from Asia or Africa. However, people slowly started to turn into rhinoceros and rampage all around town. In the end, only the main character, Bérenger

In “Waiting for Godot”, written by Samuel Beckett, absurdism is a major theme within the play as an existentialist view of human reality is hugely reflected. The play revolves around the mocking of religion and faith in regards to futility. Ironically, however, the play would not exist without this idea that life has no meaning. The first example of the absurdism present in the play is how the main characters, Vladimir and Estragon spend the entirely of their time waiting for someone who they do

By calling him a rhinoceros, and he states that you can’t teach a rhinoceros tricks, he saying in other words that Bernard didn’t respond properly to conditioning. Because of this way that other people look at Bernard he is not happy, in their society everybody is meant to be happy but in some rare cases that is

short story published in 1957 and first performed in Paris,France at the Odeon Theatre, Rhinoceros remains one of Eugene Ionesco’s most commonly produced plays. The popularity has not worn off since and there are many criticisms that can be applied to Ionesco’s work, such as biographical criticism and New Historical criticism. There are many parallels of Ionesco’s biography in his fictional story created in Rhinoceros. The play is also used as a mirror to reflect the society and its issues that it was

Not all species consist of the same traits. Due to variations and adaptations that occur within a species, the characteristics of organisms may vary. These traits are inherited from an organism’s parents to the offspring and can mutate for future generations. Not all organisms survive long enough to reproduce. If an organism isn’t selected to have fit traits, their likelihood of survival is very slim. Therefore, organisms with beneficial traits have the ability reproduce because they survived through

A federal law exists that prohibits killing wolves in the United States. This law was made because, many years ago, wolf populations were decreasing, and many people were worried that wolves would become extinct, just like the West African black rhinoceros (that was declared extinct in 2011) and the do-do bird. But I believe that some hunting of wolves ought to be allowed. First, there are many livestock ranching problems because of wolves. One problem is that wolves have decided that they would
