...A miIn Act 1 Scene 2 I will set up the scene with Peter Quince in the middle on a box stool having him already set out to the audience as being very drama queen like showing to the audience how interested he is in making this little play happen. Then from Peter Quince’s view I will have all the other actors in a semi circle facing both the audience and Quince , this will tackle moving and space and not make it seems like the actors are afraid to use the space ; also by having the actors in this position will propose that each actor has their own space and their own characteristics that no other character can interfere with or take away from. As a director I want the audience to instantly recognise that Shakespeare’s portrayal of Nick Bottom’s character as hilariously overt. In Act 1 scene 2 I will take Bottoms line ‘ An I may hide my face, let me play Thisbe too. Ill speak in a monstrous little voice: ‘Thisne,Thisne!’ ‘Ah ,Pyramus,my lover dear; thy Thisbe dear and lady dear.’ I will have Bottom interrupt Peter Quince before as he says ‘An I may hide my face’ . I will do this because it will already show how humours Bottom is in a very eager way as he cannot wait to interrupt to let out how eager he is to play all characters. When Nick Bottom says this first word I will have him burst out quickly into the centre with his arms open. I will do this because having him walk in the middle will show the audience that he is purposely taking the centre stage because he wants all...

...No Fear Shakespeare – A Midsummer Night’s Dream (by SparkNotes) Original Text -1- Modern Text Act 1, Scene 1 Enter THESEUS, HIPPOLYTA, and PHILOSTRATE, with others THESEUS and HIPPOLYTA enter withPHILOSTRATE and others. THESEUS Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour Draws on apace. Four happy days bring in Another moon. But oh, methinks how slow This old moon wanes! She lingers my desires, 5 Like to a stepdame or a dowager Long withering out a young man’s revenue. THESEUS Our wedding day is almost here, my beautiful Hippolyta. We’ll be getting married in four days, on the day of the new moon. But it seems to me that the days are passing too slowly—the old moon is taking too long to fade away! That old, slow moon is keeping me from getting what I want, just like an old widow makes her stepson wait to get his inheritance. HIPPOLYTA Four days will quickly steep themselves in night. Four nights will quickly dream away the time. And then the moon, like to a silver bow 10 New bent in heaven, shall behold the night Of our solemnities. HIPPOLYTA No, you’ll see, four days will quickly turn into four nights. And since we dream at night, time passes quickly then. Finally the new moon, curved like a silver bow in the sky, will look down on our wedding celebration. THESEUS Go, Philostrate, Stir up the Athenian youth to merriments. Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth. Turn melancholy forth to funerals. 15 The pale companion...

...Date: April 16, 2013 Time: 8:35 am Homework #5 1. The End Racial Profiling Act of 2004, among other things, says: In the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, many Arabs, Muslims, Central and South Asians, and Sikhs, as well as other immigrants and Americans of foreign descent, were treated with generalized suspicion and subjected to searches and seizures based upon religion and national origin, without trustworthy information linking specific individuals to criminal conduct. Such profiling has failed to produce tangible benefits, yet has created a fear and mistrust of law enforcement agencies in these communities. The purposes of this Act is to enforce the constitutional right to equal protection of the laws, pursuant to the Fifth Amendment and section 5 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; to enforce the constitutional right to protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and to enforce the constitutional right to interstate travel, pursuant to section 2 of article IV of the Constitution of the United States. My feelings on the End Racial Profiling Act of 2004 are based on my own personal observations of the world around me since September 11th. Numerous events in the news and television have demonstrated that African Americans and Hispanics are stopped in traffic and searched far in excess of their share of the population...

...The title of the play itself sets this tone from the outset, that subconsciously, even before any obvious metatheatricality has occurred, the piece will be alternating between a fictional and a tangible reality – a fictional fantasy within a fictional piece. This unconventional playwriting is maintained throughout, and is particularly notable in the last act. When Peter Quince and his cohort are performing their play, other characters make artistic criticisms about their performance, noting how Quince ‘does not stand upon his points’, a reference to persistent malapropism -‘points’ being a euphemism for punctuation- and sloppy syntax within his delivery. This serves as another example of how Shakespeare breaks conventional boundaries, players criticising players on their delivery of a fictional play within a fictional play, ensures the tone is self aware and full of very sharp wit. Shakespeare finds a divide between the world of the play, a metatheatrical existence full of frivolous paradox, and the concrete world of reality, a world that exists to observe his fictional world, and succeeds to draw...

...M2: Assess the hazards identified in the health or social care setting. D1: Make recommendations in relation to identified hazards to minimise the risks to the service user group. A risk assessment is used to assess the hazards and risks that can cause harm to individuals in an environment. I did my risk assessment for my placement which is a day nursery setting called Quince Tree. Many parents and their children visit this health and social care setting daily and a risk assessment was needed to make sure their safety was to a high standard. There was five hazards at Quince Tree that I had recognised which could have put the service users and staff at risk, most of these hazards was at a medium risk and only a small amount were high. Firstly there was a slip and trips hazard this could have caused harm to someone who may suffer from vision impairment or to the younger age group of children who don’t have much awareness, and would easily walk or run into them or even decided to climb up onto them. The reasons for this would be that there had been a recent delivery for necessary items such as nappies, wipes and paper etc. the boxes was left in the walk way at the entrance to the main room for children aged 3 to 5. This occurred as the manager had become quickly occupied with another task. I rated this risk at a medium level as it could have caused harm to any of the service users who may have fallen over these items although it could have easily been resolved. To resolve this...

...Doody, C. M. 2012). This transfers over for the nurse leader, for effective leadership, nurses must have charisma based on personal traits such as self-confidence, persuasiveness, and interpersonal skills that entice and aspire others to commitment to their vision and goals (Ward, 2002; Sullivan and Decker, 2009). Leaders look to be admired for high moral standing and consistency to their mission (Bass, 1995; Northouse, 2010). This is shown greatly in their approach and consistency when managing staff and staff issues (Doody, O., & Doody, C. M. 2012). Leadership development is not just the responsibility of the University, but also the health care system as a whole (Quince et al., 2014). Therefore is important that leadership development is embedded in undergraduates from an early stage in their career (Quince et al., 2014). Management roles are similar in many ways to those of leadership, however management tends to focus greatly on the tasks associated with driving an organisation to succeed and carries out tasks ‘how they should be done’ (Solomon, I. G., Costea, C., & Nita, A. M. 2016). The functions of a nurse manager are to create an a adaptive learning and social system, to focus on the organisation and alignment of resources, tasks, stratagems and staff issues. The nurse manager also enables and manages the conditions that invite innovation, adaptability and the progression of research and knowledge (Uhl-Bien M, Marion R, eds 2008). Other roles and responsibilities of...
