In the short story The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant, by W.D. Wetherell, dramatic irony and flashback are utilized to communicate that one should never change themselves for the sake of another. Set during a summer in New Hampshire, Wetherell’s work is from the perspective of a young boy who becomes infatuated with a girl by the name of Sheila Mant. As as result, the narrator sacrifices the opportunity of a lifetime on his fruitless endeavor to win the heart of the girl. To begin, an excellent example of the effect of the irony and flashback is present at the end of the story when the narrator reflects upon his decisions and says, “ There would be other Sheila Mants in my life, other fish, and though I came close once or twice, it was these
The song “Skin(SaraBeth)” by Rascal Flatts has a similar story with “The Michelle I know” by Alison Lohans. They also have differences. The similarities of the song “Skin(SaraBeth)” by Rascal Flatts and “The Michelle I know” short story by Alison Lohans are: both characters from the story and the song have leukemia or cancer, they both have boyfriends, and they lost their hair because of the disease.

Its a challenge to have a disease like cancer or leukemia, because cancer can kill anyone, and a small amount of people survive of cancer.
Sheila even reveals to the inspector that ‘If she'd been some miserable plain little creature, I don't suppose I'd have done it’, which perfectly summarises how Sheila’s selfishness towards others and how she cares more about people’s appearances than their actual worth as human beings. Next, Gerald Croft is shown to be selfish towards Eva Smith as he met her at a bar and began a romantic relationship with her, but he was not serious about her and eventually ends the relationship,
Though Eva Smith didn’t say anything to her, Sheila’s mind automatically thought bad of her. It highlights that she thinks people like Eva Smith are always up to no good. It also displays to the audience that the rich are very insecure despite their wealth, and that they rely heavily on the public’s admiration of them as a way to increase their pride, ego

The character of Sheila Biding is presented as initially frivolous and superficial, but capable of change. She is preoccupied with her engagement to Gerald Croft, and is initially unconcerned with the fate of Eva Smith, whom she had sacked from her job as a shop assistant. However, when she learns of the devastating impact of her actions on Eva, she is deeply affected, and begins to question the morality of her own class. Sheila's journey is symbolic of the possibility of personal growth and social change and reflects Priestley's belief that individuals have the power to make a positive impact on the world around
In the beginning of the play, Priestley presents Sheila Birling as an immature , jealous and superficial character as she refers to her parents as “mummy/daddy”. These words can be seen as words a child would say which shows her immaturity and that she is childish. Moreover, this could potentially show that she is spoilt as she refers to call them in that manner and that they would take care of all of her needs and wants. Priestley then talks about how in the shop (Milwards), Sheila Birling gets jealous of the worker called Eva Smith because of how pretty and beautiful she is.
Savannah Live was a musical preformance held in one of the oldest continuing theater halls in the nation. The theater, appropiately named the Historic Savannah Theater, origionally opened in 1818, yet do to years of wear and tear and several fires, the modern theater was retrofitted to look like its 1940s, art-deco self. Although the stage was in the traditional Proscienim style, the play was anything but traditional. The stage hall itself seemed like something right out of the hay day of Broadway, with lights surrounding the procienian arch, red velvet chairs and carpet, the hall was like a time caplse bringing me back into the 20th centry. Mimicing the transformations of the hall throughout the years, the musical took the audience on a journey through musical, and theatrical history.
Bobby V is on the scene again and boy does he sound good! After a while without that Bobby V sound, he has now come out with a couple of new songs and features. We recently heard him deliver an outstanding performance of Ryan Leslie’s “MZRT” album on a song titled “Sounds.” He is now making a solo appearance with a brand new song titled “Hollywood Hearts.” This song is from an upcoming movie project Bobby V is working on and I must say it is quite a pleasant sound from the long lost Bobby.
Danielle Evans, the assistant professor of the English department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is the author of the Paterson Prize winner Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self. In her collection of short stories, Evans includes “Robert E. Lee is Dead,” a story of a teenage girl named Crystal and her best friend Geena Johnson. Crystal gains popularity when she becomes Geena’s friend. However when their friendship ends, Crystal becomes the antisocial girl who did not fit in with the cool teenagers anymore. Crystal perfectly fits the definition of a morally ambiguous character because she cannot be classified as purely good nor purely evil.
Sheila seems quite girlish and immature to start with but yet seems to be quite perceptive of certain things, for instance when Sheila says to Gerald "last summer, when you never came near me." This suggests that she is not senseless and shows that JB Priestley is already starting to show early signs that Sheila is quite intelligent and that Sheila is going to have
Who Was to Blame for the Death of Eva Smith? There were many events that lead to Eva Smith’s death and the members of the Birling family and Gerald Croft all had a part to play in her death. It started with a chain of events which eventually drove here to suicide, through them being selfish. Eva Smith originally worked at Mr Birling’s factory. She was a good worker however Mr Birling fired her because she had asked for a slight pay rise.
Sheila’s insecurity and jealousy led her to believe Eva Smith was laughing at her as she tried on a dress at in a local shop. Sheila abused her family's “power” to get Eva fired. On reflection Sheila “felt rotten”. She understood that the the misuse of her family's social stratum was wrong furthermore she took responsibility for what she had done and showed maturity on the other hand her father who is older and supposedly more mature denied all accusations against him. This step forward occurred because of the entrance of the Inspector.
In contrast to her parents, who are delighted to discover the inspector was just a ‘hoax’, Sheila remains contrite about her role in Eva Smith’s death. Priestley has Sheila accuse her parents of not learning anything, saying ‘I guess we’re all nice people now’. The sarcastic tone in Sheila’s words demonstrate how infuriated she is with her parents for being so willing to forget the actions they took, revealing that they were simply concerned with their own reputation, and have not learned the errors of their ways. Additionally, Priestley has Sheila accuse her mother of ‘trying to build a wall’ between the Birlings and the inspector. This metaphorical wall symbolises the insight Sheila has gained into the huge divide between upper and lower classes, suggesting she has realised how unwilling many upper class people are to recognise their responsibility to others.
