The Seagull by Anton Chekhov and “Chekhov for Children” by Philip Lopate.

Chekhov's The Seagull is known to reject the conventional dramatic subjects that dominated the theater at that time. The intensely dramatic events are not seen on stage, and The Seagull brought about a fundamental change in not only how the plays were written but also how they were acted. Chekhov for Children by celebrated writer Phillip Lopate is an inspiring reflection about his experience with the child actors and how he teaches them. This is an assessment of the nature of childhood and evokes the question as to how does one demarcate between experimentation and self-indulgence. The choices made by ...

Young adulthood

Individual development involved how a person passes through various stages in life from his or her birth to his old age. Michael Williams is a 72-year old living in Texas. His lifelong development has proven resilience and persistence as he has moved through the hierarchies of poverty to develop a rich life to himself. During his young adulthood, Williams developed strong physical body muscles. He undertook many exercise activities, which made him masculine and well built. He was also tall, developing from 4ft upwards to 5.8ft by the time he was 22 years old. There were no observable changes in his physical functioning. ...

There is an ongoing debate of “nature vs. nurture” in the psychological field. How much of a person’s childhood experiences influence who that person becomes as an adult? Can a child with a happy “normal” childhood morph into a nefarious monster? Or could that child become a successful banker on Wall Street with a family of his or her own? However much the nature fact may come into play, it does not discount how strong a child’s experiences can play on his or her behaviors and interactions as an adult. In fact, it can be said that a child’s experiences can play just as big ...

This work captures a recount of an interview I conducted two different people. The first one was an American female of seventy years old. My second interviewee was a ninety-year-old male, and a Russia-born moved to South Dakota when he was two. I will settle for the woman while doing this reflection, and I will rely on the continuity activity theory, which states that people who get to the old age successfully continue the positive mind-set that they had at their middle ages (Kaptelinin & Nardi, 2012). Meaning that they remain confident about life and shows this in whatever they ...

I woke up late that morning. I had an intense feeling of tiredness. In fact, it was one of those mornings when I felt like doing nothing. But, it was the beginning of the day and as much as I would have loved to stay in bed I knew I had to get up. I reached for my lifesaver. I needed it to open my eyes fully and drag myself out of bed. And yes, it worked as usual. My morning coffee was always there to help me to start a new day. The freshness of that glorious coffee ...

Can you imagine living in a girls-only family? I mean a family that has only girls, no boys. I surely cannot! Firstly, the sight of many kids makes me feel anxious. I can imagine a house where when one kid cries and other kids follow pursuit. In addition, girls are more likely to cry a lot more than boys. I feel terrified just thinking of living under such circumstances. Pamela Vitela is a woman who lives in this kind of a Mexican family, and she is the eldest girl in her family. Why did I say she is a woman? Because she is already 18 years ...

Cultural diffusion and interaction is one of the conspicuous phenomenons that have characterized the world in the post-colonial era. However, the world has seemingly been inclined towards the Western culture. Salaman Rushdie is arguably one of the celebrated post-colonial writers who have managed to capture this phenomenon through his novella-“East, West”. Chekov and Zulu is one of the intriguing stories in the novella that satirically or rather, humorously demystifies how the Western culture has diffused into the Eastern world. The underlying story of how Chekov and Zulu are fascinated and affected by the Western culture in Britain exemplifies ...

The world of literature has changed tremendously over the past ten years. Long gone are the days when our Australian literary artists delved on the traditional stereotypes that encompassed gender stereotypes. Gone are those days that the artist’s concern was the role of man as a dominating factor in the Australian home: And the woman being thought of as the weaker sex: who could not work in the factories and take prestigious posts when they were allowed to work. As the short story writers, we should go beyond traditions into the writing for developmental purposes.
Nowadays I watch a ...
