After splitting, Alvy tries to date again, but he gets back together with Annie after she calls him over to kill a spider. Annie’s singing career begins to take off and she and Alvy travel to Hollywood. On the plane ride back, Annie and Alvy split up again, agreeing that their relationship is a “dead shark.” Annie moves to L.A. and Alvy, still missing her, flies out to ask her to marry him. Annie declines. They meet once more in New York, both dating other people now. The film flashes back to better times between the couple and the film ends with parting words from Alvy.

Over time, every one changes or transforms. Most often people transform after a traumatic incident or after a failure. Woody Allen’s film Annie Hall captures the changes of a man named Alvy Singer. Alvy is just coming out of a failed relationship to a woman named Annie Hall. Although Alvy is sad, he begins to learn from his mistakes. Alvy (played by Woody Allen) begins the film as a death obsessed comedy writer with a bleak outlook on life. He is consumed by the fear of death and the desire for physical affection. Annie Hall is the story of Alvy’s growth as a person after the relationship has ended. While sifting through the good times and old haunts of the relationship, Alvy begins to realize what he did wrong and what he can take away from the experience. As Alvy relives moments from the relationship, he realizes how he can change into a better person. The first change is Alvy’s outlook on life. By the time the film has ended, Alvy begins to live life with hope and not fear. Next, Alvy transforms from a closed off man, into an open guy. Alvy does this by trying new things and even writing about his personal life. Then, Alvy slowly begins to reach out to people in his life. As the film is ending, Alvy and Annie meet again for lunch, which helps bring closure and security to Alvy. Last, Alvy begins to come to terms with himself. He begins the film with a lack of self-confidence and an inability to let himself enjoy the world around him. But before

On the evening of July 27th, I attended a production of “Carrie: The Musical” based on the novel “Carrie” by Stephen King. The musical was performed by Near West Theater in Cleveland and directed by Devon Turchan. The main character who name is Carrie White is an outcast through the entire play and her entire life you learn this when the other students talk about past experiences with Carrie. The main antagonist in the play is her very own mother Margaret White. Ms.White is a very religious woman that wants to protect Carrie from the dangers in the world and even herself, very overprotective women and to what I believe very crazy. The plot is brought to life by supporting characters/actors in the play who names are Sue Nell, Tommy Ross, Chris Hargensen, Billy Nolan, Miss Gardner. The actions of all these people building up and resting on carrier shoulders throughout the play cause her to find out she has powers. The end of Act II is when everything comes together Carrie who was invited to the prom by Tommy Ross in a generous gesture that was purposed by Sue Nell. The prom was going very well and Carrie was becoming carefree and was seeing everything she missed out on. Things took things for the worse when Chris and Tommy pour pigs blood on her when she won prom queen. Carrie took all the frustration and years of bullying and the powers she found out about she burned everyone alive at the prom. When she got home she was covered in blood and was crying her very own mom took

Growing up, Americans begin to form dreams, or goals,based on where they want to go in life. These dreams may change over time, or remain the same, but they are always the focus of an American’s life. However, there comes a point in life when you must decide whether to continue chasing your dream or to face reality and give up and illusions you may have about your life. The plot of two American-based stories, “Sunset Blvd”, directed by Billy Wilder, and The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, revolve around this conflict of illusion, or dreams, against reality and facing the facts of life. Both “Sunset Blvd” and The Great Gatsby ultimately side with illusion and dreaming over reality, a decision which becomes solidified by the closing scenes in both tales, and the death of a main character.

Overworked, underpaid and underappreciated. Have you ever felt that way at one point of your life? Many people have felt that way before or currently in a job that make them feel that way.

The drama also deals with the challenges of friendship, love, and self-identity.
