What would Christopher Sly from the Taming of the Shrew use daily?
Q. For British Lit I need to create a box full of character for a character in The Taming of The Shrew. My character is Christopher Sly. I need to come up with 6-8 objects that he would use daily. Can anyone help me?
Asked by unknown - Sun Feb 21 09:37:51 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The play doesn't tell us much about Sly, as you'll see if you read over his relatively few lines. We know that he's a drunk, and we know that he's a tinker, someone who makes his living by mending holes in metal vessels such as kettles and pots. You could do a little bit of research about tinkers and try to put together an assortment of tools and equipment that somebody might carry with him to practice that trade.

A. So the Taino came out to greet them, as was their custom, and brought the travelers - who surely must have been tired and hungry - food, drink and gifts. Such strong swimmers were the Taino that some of them swam right out to the boats some three miles offshore. Basically, they greeted the "White Men" with food, and items and such.

How can I get a message to Christopher Hitchens?
Q. I want to say "Amen, Brother Hitchens!" His commentary about Jerry Falwell is spot on. First Anderson Cooper 360 last night, then tonight on Hannity and Colmes. I want to thank Hitchens for his forthright confrontation of Falwell's bullying, intolerance, and bigotry. Dying doesn't absolve responsibility. Speaking ill of the dead is fine when the dead have done so much damage. There is much in common between Christian conservatives and Al Qaeda. Christopher Hitchens, you speak for many of us.

How and why does Christopher Bruce use ballet in his choreography?
Q. I am researching Christopher Bruce, his choreography and his chosen dance styles. I have nearly finished this unit, however I am unsure about the final task: "How and why does Christopher Bruce use ballet in his choreography?" This can be a general answer, but would be better if it could be directed towards two of his pieces, 'Ghost Dancers' and 'Swansong'. This doesn't have to be a detailed answer but around a small paragraph amount would be fine.

A. I've never seen Ghost Dancers but I have studied Swansong... The ballet is fused with tap and contemporary, which makes it more layered and captivating for an audience to watch and it adds elements of originality and individuality to the choreography. Ballet is also one of the most strict styles of dance having specific positions and requirements of the body which cannot be manipulated without it becoming contemporary dance. This strictness and confined nature of the dance style could represent part of the plot of Swansong - for example: the strictness and precision or the movement could represent how strict the prison guards are towards the prisoner.

He taught history at a unversity and couldn't figure out why he first had to get his students to "unlearn" what they'd gotten from their high school American history textbooks. One reason is that these textbooks are not presenting history as it was; they are trying to teach patriotism and a sense of civic duty. Loewen calls this "civil religion." It's silly, and it does a disservice to everyone: teachers and students. Why not tell things as they were, warts and all? What the founding fathers did, for example, was monumental and unprecedented.
