Since the Greece time until nowadays, theater has been used to entertain, to give message, and to express people feelings and emotions. Theater has been one of the principal art expressions. Nowadays theater is using also for charities. It is very important because through theater people can dramatize how they live, how they are, and, traditions. It is a healthy way to entertain,  to learn from others, and to have a good time.

“Homage to my hips” by Lucille Clifton

The poem of “Homage to my hips” by Lucille Clifton is a very good poem, and it has a strong tone and message.The tone in “Homage to my hips” by Lucille Clifton is confident and secure with who she is. She does not need to look like a model to feel beautiful. She is happy with her body shape, and it is the important. I think it is an important and useful poem for women. Nowadays we are living in a society where to keep a good body shape people goes to extremes consequences. I think she feels confident and beautiful.

“We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks

“We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks is an interesting poem. In this poem “We Real Cool”, the author Brooks gives us the reader a strong message about the life style of teenagers. He illustrates adolescents with serious behavior problems. They think that all of these criminal activities are cool; nevertheless, all of these activities almost always ending on fatal consequences such as imprisonment and death. I think is really important that people specially parents supervise the behavior and activities of their children and teenagers. I think is our responsibility to help them to avoid these activities.We also as society must watch them very closely because they are just children.

" My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun"by William Shakespeare

" My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun" by William Shakespeare si an interesting and complicated sonnet.  In this sonnet " My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun", William Shakespeare is insulting. He wants to show that a person in real life is better and more beautiful than the metaphorical person that many writes creates in literature and poetry. He also wants to show reality in his poetry. He loves her just like she is. In his second sonnet, William Shakespeare expresses that love is constant and he is not in favor with the changing love. He also thinks that people cannot change the way their love. In addition, he thinks that to love someone people do not need to marry. People should not see marriage as a mark.In my opinion, marriage is something to enjoy, and the couple invoved should be mutually agreed. 

" A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty

" A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty is an interesting story. In the story of “A Worth Path” , Mrs. Phoenix represents dedication in the whole story.

Through the story Phoenix has to deal with many obstacles in the road, animals, and the hunter with a gun. Another difficult thing that she has to deal is her old age. Finally, Phoenix represents the humble and poor part of that society. How black people lived and suffer. At the end of the story she got the medication for her grandchild.

“The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World: A Tale for Children” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

In the story of “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World: A Tale for Children” his author wants to separates what seems real from what seems fantastic. For example, Gabriel Garcia Marquez tells the story of a dead man(he is the real part). On the other hand, he tells that the man is the largest man that he has even seen.The size of the dead man is unreal.The author also explains how women fascinated by his huge size decided to make him clothes for he could continue through his dead with dignity. The symbolized the dead man in the beauty of life. In my opinion a dead person cannot represent a beauty of life.
