...back and forth.” The poetry of Wordsworth, one of her inspirations, was featured next to her watercolor representations of the countryside. She feels connected to Wordsworth’s poetry because, although Breeden uses a different medium, they both are inspired by the English countryside and convey it through their work. Sifuentes’ concept opened up new doors of inspiration for Adams House government, religion, and race relations residential tutor Barrett-Osahar Berry, who is both a poet and a photographer.

...balance or impartiality and jumps straight into the ring to tear apart the credibility of the pro-war brigade. This makes for a compelling, but wildly-biased, viewing experience. Directors Phil Donahue (yes, that Phil Donahue) and Ellen Spiro use a mix of small- and large-scale stories to convey their point. Scenes showing Young attempting to recover from the injuries he sustained after being shot just a week after arriving in Iraq are interspersed with footage from the Congressional debates over the war in October 2002.

...playwright: uncertainty, an unspoken struggle for verbal control, sexual tension, questions with no answers, and an exploration of the nature of memory. These characteristics make Pinter’s work wonderfully frustrating and absorbing, but at the same time create difficulties for the director, who must clearly convey the central ideas despite an often indiscernible reality.In this case, that burden falls upon not one, but three directors.
