George Bernard Shaw’s “Arms and the Man”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses “Arms and the Man” written in 1894 and fitting into a category of his work that George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) called “Plays Pleasant.” This report presents the argument that the play is primarily a condemnation of the glorification of the military yet also tells the story of a remarkably short-lived yet bloody military engagement between Bulgaria and Serbia (in 1885). IT is also a romantic comedy that illustrates the foolishness of a person who is caught up in an overly romantic sense of self. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Others see it as being related almost exclusively to the issue of Irish nationalism and the relationship between that nation’s Protestants and Catholics. Yet others address it as a story that deals primarily with the overt religious issues that it explores. This report primarily addresses the religious components of the work.

Glengary Glen Ross.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). This 1992 movie is an adaptation of David Mamet's Pulitizer Prize winning drama of almost the same name. It is an intense story of real estate potential and sales, after the end of President Reagan's administration. Times are tough - how tough are they -Monday night football looks like a tea party by comparison. A stellar cast of Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon and Alec Baldwin do apt justice to Mamet's stinging dialogue.
