School Bag

I must say the play "School Bag" was a very organized, thrilling and educational play. It shows of alot of troubles students go through on their academic journey through school. It spoke strongly to me beause some of the struggles presented in the play were problems that me and friends had problems on our way to 5th form and graduation. We fought it out and most of us made it.
As I was saying earlier the play was very intriguing, the characters performed well and showed almost as raw as it can get problems faced by students on their way to graduation.
The use of props was very good, the classroom and all. The guns, gang tattoos, books and even the food were used very well... to be continued...

Brother Man's Symbolism (revealed)

In the book Brother Man by Roger Mais, the main character John Power alias Bra' Man is a big symbol. In terms of symbolism Bra' Man is a symbol of Jesus. Even on the book cover the picture of Bra' Man looks like Jesus and in the book his actions are like Jesus too. Just like Jesus Bra' Man lives a simple life. He puts others before himself without any regret just like Christ. Even when the same people whom he had helped and prayed for turned on him and insulted him, taunted and beat him, his heart was too big to get angry with them and he easily forgave them and still wanted to help them, just like who?... just like Christ.

Much Ado About Nothing (9/11/09)

Act One, Scene One
BENEDICK: The savage bull may; but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it, pluck off the bull's horns and set them in my forehead: and let me be vilely painted,and in such great letters as they write 'Here is good horse to hire,' let them signify under my sign' Here you may see Benedick the married man.'
Translation- Although one day, even the savagest of bulls can be tamed and tied down, it will never happen to Benedick because he does not go back on his word. If I do go back on my word and be married, take the horns of the bull, and stick them on my forehead. Paint me up horribly and place me in the market where everyone can see. Place a sign which says, "Here is a horse for hire" and in fine print let them know that this is Benedick the married man.
Significance- This strong declaration is significant because it shows how strongly and determinedly Benedick holds his beliefs against love and marriage. It holds the readers' attention and raises there curiosity to find out if Benedick will truly hold his oath or not.

Act Two, Scene One
BEATRICE: What should I do with him? dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting-gentlewoman? He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man: and he that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him:...
Translation- What would I want with a husband who has no beard, put him in my dresses and make him my lady-in-waiting? A man with a beard is too old and a man without is still a boy. Therefore an old man is not suited for me and I am not suited for a young boy.
Significance- This shows that just like Benedick, Beatrice is strong-willed against affairs of love and has also proclaimed that she would die single. The significance of this is to also rise the readers' suspicion and begin to question if Beatrice to will be able to hold her will as the play goes on.

The title, Much Ado About Nothing.

Much Ado About Nothing is a Shakespearean play. The phrase "Much ado about nothing" is another way of saying that there is a big fuss about something trivial. In the play in the first Act alone we see this coming out, we see Don John making a fuss about his brother although he admits that his brother has been good to him. Another thing is a plot that is starting to present itself where a rumour has begun to spread that Don Pedro is planning to court Hero. This plans to cause a big mix-up over something which if people had minded their business would have ended well.
