...the against side for vivisection. The reasons I have decided this are because animal testing is cruel and unfair, to all animals. It was, has, is and never will be reliable. It never should have been made so animals have to go through all the pain for nothing. Some people think you’re ”soft“ if you care about animals but what’s ”soft“ about wanting to stop this? • Animals are blinded, scaled, electrocuted, paralysed, burned, maimed, driven mad, turned into drug addicts, and given diseases in animal testing. • Animals are used to test a whole range of substances, such as weed killers, tobacco, cosmetics, polishes, hairsprays and drugs. • Dogs are poisoned to death to test the ”lethal dosage“ of such products as oven cleaners. These are force feed or injected with enough products to kill 50% of the animal. • ANIMALS SUFFER WITHOUT REASON. Can I ask you does a man learn anything – except how to be inhumane by being cruel to animals. Do politicians and leaders become noble and wise by completely disregarding the interests of lower animals when lower animals can feel so much suffering and pain? I ask that your charity stops supporting these abominations of animal experimentations. A charity is a wonderful thing, offering goodness but when a charity supports such awful experiments – when a charity offers donations to help scientists cause suffering to animals – it ceases to be a charity. This is my final view of vivisection, I know that people have their own view on the subject, but can I ask you to look at what you are saying, doing and supporting. Discuss The Importance Of Carol As A Character And How Willy Russell Uses Her In This Play, “Our Day Out” Paragraph 1 The play, “Our Day Out” was written by Willy Russell in 1976, set in Liverpool. Willy Russell was born in 1947 near Liverpool, he has also written other plays such as, Educating Rita, Shirley Valentine and Blood Brothers. The play “Our Day Out” was originally written for television and was televised on BBC 2, 1977. It is a celebration of the joys and agonies of growing up and being footloose, fourteen and free from school. But this is more than a romp - it points up the depressing present and empty future for these comprehensive no-hopers from the backstreets of Liverpool, for whom a day out is as much as they can expect. Willy was once a teacher for a while, this is significant because he knows what he is writing about. He knows a lot more depth, detail and understanding of the children in the play. Willy is concerned that the system in schools is failing pupils. This is what the play is trying to show and prove that point. The play is about Mrs Kay’s “Progress Class”, who are children from poor/deprived backgrounds and who are not very clever, are unleashed for a day's coach trip to Conway Castle and the Zoo in Wales. The character I will be focusing on in this play is Carol and how Willy Russell uses her in this play. The play has meaning today, as there are children living like this now. Which shows and proves Willy Russell’s point, that we to get something done about this. Paragraph Two Carol is the first person we see on stage. In Willy Russell’s stage directions he makes it clear that Carol is going to be a significant character in the play. He lets everyone see what she sounds like, looks like, her body language and her actions are like, which they really stand out! “Carol rushes along the street wearing a school uniform which doubles as a street outfit and her Sunday best” and “She is eating half a sandwich and clutching a supermarket carrier bag”. The quotes shows that she comes from a poor background were her family doesn’t really have much money to spend, or that her family doesn’t really care about Carol much. You can tell that she is not very clever by the way she talks to her friends and teachers “Miss is that in England, Eh?” This shows that she isn’t very intelligent and does not have a good education. This proves that the education system is failing children. When they are at the zoo, Carol takes an animal and decides to give it a name “I’m gonna call mine Freddy. Hiya, Freddy. Hello, Freddy. Freddy.” It shows that Carol doesn’t understand what she is doing is wrong, but she desires to have something all of her own to love, care and treasure. Carol realises what her life is like at home and doesn’t want to go back to that, which highlights the message of social deprivation. Willy Russell includes Carol because she is not like every other child in the progress class. Carol is kind and considerate and thinks about other people before herself. We think of it as only being the kids fault and not thinking about other reasons like money, poor background and the type of family they come from. Therefore we feel guilty because we want to help but can’t. Carol is one of the characters that get remember most by the audience because we see her first and last on stage. The ending becomes the beginning in the play, as we take in that Carol is perhaps going to stay in the progress class and not progress much in life. Willy Russell gets his point across to the audience by using words like “clutching” and “grasping” which shows that Carol doesn’t really have much in her life. Paragraph Three Carol’s relationship with the two main characters of the play is significant as it highlights their personalities. The way Carol reacts to Mr Briggs and Mrs Kay reveals a lot about the types of teacher they are. Mrs Kay is more like a mother figure than a teacher to the children, “Look Brain. You know I’d take you. But it’s not up to me.” She is kind, considerate and cares about the kids feelings. Mr Biggs is authoritarian in his approach to education. “Don’t worry, I’ve driven in my car behind school coaches and seen it. A mass of little two-fingered gestured to the passing cars. Yes. But we won’t do that will we? We will?” This shows that he thinks all kids are the same, naughty and untrustworthy. He thinks that all kids should be seen and not heard, and have rules and be disciplined when they are broken. The two teachers are completely different as you can see by this quote taken from part of the coach seen. “Mr Briggs makes his way down to the front of the coach and takes his seat next to Andrews. Across the aisle Briggs can see that Mrs Kay has taken off her shoes and had her stocking feet curled under her. Carol has her arm linked through Mrs Kay’s and is snuggled up to her.” Carols actions are completely different towards bo...
