Drew Hurley/"Zorba and the Boss"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that examines Drew Hurley's eclectic play, Distraction. The writer argues that this play is rather like taking a spin course through the last several hundred years of Western literature and philosophy in a way that is both entertaining, thought provoking and comprehensible. Basically Hurley presents a brief history of the way that Western culture has viewed that slippery concept called "reality" over the last several hundred years. In so doing, he presents characters that the audience already knows, but he does so in a format that condenses their philosophy and contrasts it against other viewpoints. The writer concentrates on the portion of the play that features Zorba the Greek and a character referred to as "the Boss." No other sources cited.

Elements of Satire and Irony in Luis Valdez’ “Los Vendidos”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing elements of satire and irony in “Los Vendidos” by Luis Valdez. The play “Los Vendidos” by Luis Valdez uses a great many elements of satire and irony to show the stereotypes of Mexican Americans which have been created and are expected within American society. The play includes a Mexican American, Ms. Jimenez, who has denied her heritage and pretends she is ignorant to the Chicano ways while at the same time is unable to escape her own culture. In addition to the development of satire to expose Ms. Jimenez, Valdez also employs satire and irony to show how the government needs the support of the Mexican Americans but does not return that support and how the Mexican Americans themselves are able to play stereotypes for Americans in an attempt to obtain what they want.
