Chapter 8 THEATER We sit in the darkened theater with many str.docx
Chapter 8 THEATER
We sit in the darkened theater with many strangers. We sense an air of anticipation, an awareness of excitement. People cough, rustle about, then suddenly become still. Slowly the lights on the stage begin to come up, and we see actors moving before us, apparently unaware of our presence. They are in rooms or spaces similar to those that we may be in ourselves at the end of the evening. Eventually they begin speaking to one another much the way we might ourselves, sometimes saying things so intimate that we are uneasy. They move about the stage, conducting their lives in total disregard for us, only hinting occasionally that we might be there in the same space with them. At first we feel that despite our being in the same building with the actors, we are in a different world. Then slowly the distance between us and the actors begins to diminish until, in a good play, our participation erases the distance. We thrill with the actors, but we also suffer with them. We witness the illusion of an action that has an emotional impact for us and changes the way we think about our own lives. Great plays such as Hamlet, Othello, The Misanthrope, Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Long Day’s Journey into Night can have the power to transform our awareness of ourselves and our circumstances. It is a mystery common to much art: that the illusion of reality can affect the reality of our own lives.
Aristotle and the Elements of Drama
Drama is a collaborative art that represents events and situations, either realistic and/or symbolic, that we witness happening through the actions of actors in a play on a stage in front of a live audience. According to the greatest dramatic critic, Aristotle (384–322 BCE), the elements of drama are as follows:
1. Plot: a series of events leading to disaster for the main characters who undergo reversals in fortune and understanding but usually ending with a form of enlightenment—sometimes of the characters, sometimes of the audience, and sometimes of both
2. Character: the presentation of a person or persons whose actions and the reason for them are more or less revealed to the audience
3. Diction: the language of the drama, which should be appropriate to the action
4. Thought: the ideas that underlie the plot of the drama, expressed in terms of dialogue and soliloquy
5. Spectacle: the places of the action, the costumes, set designs, and visual elements in the play
6. Music: in Greek drama, the dialogue was sometimes sung or chanted by a chorus, and often this music was of considerable emotional importance; in modern drama, music is rarely used in serious plays, but it is of first importance in the musical theater
Aristotle conceived his theories in the great age of Greek tragedy, and therefore much of what he has to say applies to tragedies by such dramatists as Aeschylus (ca. 525–456 BCE), especially his trilogy, Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides. Sophocles (ca. 496–406 B.

From contextual factors to references (needs revision)
This document provides contextual information about Jose Campeche Community School in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico and summarizes the school's strengths and challenges. It notes that 66% of students are lower-income and many students with behavioral issues attend Jose Campeche after being rejected from the more selective vocational high school.

Case study phase i
This document provides background information on a student named Anibal Miranda Ortiz. It summarizes that he is 17 years old and studies at Jose Campeche Community School, but has faced behavioral issues. It describes Anibal's home life, interests in sports and cars, academic performance of average grades except for lower marks in Spanish and English, and future aspirations to study law. The school counselor indicated there may be additional undisclosed factors influencing Anibal's behavior.
Comparison with initial handling of the problem
The document compares the initial handling of Anibal's problems to the realization that he needs more support from his parents. Initially, the author tried different communicative approaches to understand Anibal and help with his lack of study skills and responsibility. However, the author realized they were not Anibal's parent and he needed the long-term support that only his parents, especially his mother who lives with him, can provide. While teachers and tutors can help, Anibal spends more time with his family outside of the 5 hours he is in school each day.
Case study phase iii
This case study examines Anibal Miranda Ortiz's behavior over several weeks. [1] Anibal initially seemed to be making progress but then his grades dropped significantly and he began disrespecting teachers. [2] Meetings were scheduled with Anibal's mother to address his behavior, but she did not attend. [3] The teachers want to help Anibal succeed due to his intelligence, but his behavioral issues are a major concern and risk of suspension or failing to graduate.
Case study phase ii
This document summarizes Michael J. Sosa Cardona's case study of student Anibal Miranda Ortiz. It provides a new analysis of Anibal's problems in school, comparing it to the initial handling. It finds that Anibal struggles with English and loses interest in classes, but can focus when under pressure. It also outlines Anibal's home life challenges and lack of parental involvement. The work plan chart details Michael's activities with Anibal from February to March, including progress reports and a home visit, finding Anibal absent from school and needing more family support.
New analysis of student
1) The student, Anibal, often disrupts class but to a lesser extent recently.
2) Anibal has issues outside of school like family problems that influence his behavior and ability to focus in class. His parents do not spend quality time with him.
3) Getting to know Anibal better, the teacher discovered he has a very active social life outside of school that causes him to lose interest in school. His family issues are the root of his behavior problems.

NEWSPAPERS - QUESTION 1 - REVISION POWERPOINT.pptx
Suspense, thriller, and horror
- 1. SUSPENSE, THRILLER, AND HORROR
- 2. WHAT IS IT? According to the dictionary, “suspense” is a state or condition of mental uncertainty or excitement. In literary works, it is that quality that makes the reader or audience uncertain or tense about the outcome of events. Suspense makes the reader ask "What will happen next?"
- 3. Suspense is greatest when it focuses attention on a sympathetic character. For example, you read or see that the character is hanging off a ledge. How does that make you feel? Another example would be a character tied to railroad tracks and a train is coming fast. Do you get the chills?
- 4. Sometimes, suspense is also associated with thriller and horror. Note that suspense is not to be confused with bloody films and such. Suspense and horror makes the fear come out of you. Blood, however, makes other emotions come out.
- 5. A thriller provides the sudden rush of emotions, excitement, sense of suspense and exhilaration that drive the narrative, sometimes subtly with peaks and lulls, sometimes at a constant, breakneck pace thrills. In this genre, the objective is to deliver a story with sustained tension, surprise, and a constant sense of impending doom.
- 6. Q U O T E B Y J A M E S PAT T E R S O N ( AU T H O R O F A L E X C RO S S S E R I E S ) “...Thrillers provide such a rich literary feast. There are all kinds. The legal thriller, spy thriller, action-adventure thriller, medical thriller, police thriller, romantic thriller, historical thriller, political thriller, religious thriller, high-tech thriller, military thriller. The list goes on and on, with new variations constantly being invented.
- 7. In fact, this openness to expansion is one of the genre's most enduring characteristics. But what gives the variety of thrillers a common ground is the intensity of emotions they create, particularly those of apprehension and exhilaration, of excitement and breathlessness, all designed to generate that all-important thrill. By definition, if a thriller doesn't thrill, it's not doing its job.” —James Patterson, June 2006, "Introduction," Thriller
- 8. Suspense Movies Suspense Literature Authors Psycho Edgar Allan Poe (The Raven) Stephen King (The Stand) The Borne Ultimatum James Patterson (Alex Cross) Red Dragon Dan Brown (The Lost The Woman in Black Symbol) Dean Koontz (Odd Thomas) Shutter Island Insidious
