Soyinka has made use of these elements to forward the action of the play. Songs, dance and mimes are the major components in the play. Apart from that, the playwright sheds light on some of the indigenous customs like, marriage, songs, dance, mimes, etc. Some of the customs like, bride-price, polygamy, wife wooing girls for her husband, are emphasised much and challenged these outdated customs and traditions. The traditions and customs of Yoruba are typically presented in the play. The dramatic environment that Soyinka creates has been enriched with variegated realistic scenes portraying African life very exactly and fashions and characters holding a mirror up to nature and presenting life as it is. His works are based on society, culture, tradition and politics of Africa. He is a prolific writer and versatile genius of Africa.

The Flat Stanley books are perfect for newly independent readers thanks to the fun illustrations, short chapters and crazy adventures. Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-mill, ten-year-old: normal mom. There are benefits to Stanley’s strange predicament - he can slide under doors and be posted to his friends for a holiday - but it’s not always easy being different and, once the novelty begins to wear off, Stanley wishes he could be just like everybody else again. Complete Information About The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley in Central Pennsylvania at Gretna Theatre. Since the night a giant pinboard fell on top of him, he has been completely flat.

What started out as a bedtime story for author Jeff Brown’s sons, soon became a bestseller and there are now more than twenty Flat Stanley books, published all over the world. Flat Stanley is a classic American children’s book series for readers 5+. Brady is a millenial who has 2 lower-rung jobs and lives with his mother. We learn who the killer is almost immediately. (In 2009? Was the internet really so unknown back then?) He refuses to ask his own police department for help, (why?) and adopts a neighboring teen handyman, Jerome, who is good with computers, as his “cop buddy.” Jerome’s tech ability is fortuitous, as the killer wants to communicate in a chat room, and Bill is strangely lacking in tech skills. Hey, I know! What if a killer – a serial killer – taunts him about the case he never solved: the Mercedes Killer? (The killer had plowed the car into a line of job-seekers, 2 of whom we got to know briefly.) Bill immediately cheers up with this challenge and goes to work on figuring out this nutcase. There is a teeny tiny yellow smiley sticker on it, which I mention later! An umbrella only features in the first scene, so this object is not related to the book much, but still, makes a good graphic. He’s a little depressed - maybe a lot depressed - living alone, job over, ex-wife gone, only TV left. Bill Hodges, recently retired police detective, lives in some town in the midwest.
