Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.

Cheryl E PrestonPublished 14 days ago in GeeksHow Sailor Moon Impacted My Life
For 30 years, this cosmic crybaby has warmed the hearts of many people inspired others, and still never fails to give people, courage, strength, and love. You could throw a dart at any movie, TV Show, or author that Sailor Moon has inspired.
Samantha ParrishPublished 21 days ago in Geeks5 Feelgood Stories Of Kids In The Entertainment Industry
Viewers everywhere are still reeling from the horrifying revelations in the recent documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids' TV. The depth of Producer Dan Schneider's inappropriate behaviour around the sets of his Nickelodeon TV shows is apalling, even more so the series of missed warnings and adult failures that led to then-child star Drake Bell's sexual abuse at the hands of his acting coach, Brian Peck.
Kristy AndersonPublished about a month ago in GeeksThe Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.
Annie KapurPublished about a month ago in GeeksMy Unpopular Literary Opinions
I have a vast amount of fairly unpopular literary opinions. From books that I feel have been overhyped to classics that I think are just people trying to sound intelligent without having any real value. From clichés and boring genres that take on no other form whatsoever to writers who are really not as great as everyone thinks they are. Here are some of my most unpopular literary opinions made flesh. I hope that you enjoy them and that we can maybe have a balanced discussion about it. (Also, please don't hate me. These are just opinions and are in no way representative of anything factual at all).

Marielle SabbagPublished about an hour ago in GeeksThe Marvels
When I reviewed Captain Marvel, I didn’t want to just say, “Hey, this film is bad and here are the bad parts.” I wanted to break down why it didn’t work from a storytelling perspective. More so that others don’t make the mistake and perhaps in the hope that maybe the writer of the film would read the review or at least so the point got back to her.
Samuel MoorePublished about 3 hours ago in GeeksShot of the Movie: Laura (1944)
This article is one of a series - Shot of the Movie - and may contain spoilers. In the early runtime of Laura (1944), you may be pulled in more by the dialogue than the visuals. I certainly was. Rich in subtext, with great banter between a no-nonsense detective and his elitist foil, this film's dialogue is sleek and has a rhythm that moves the film into its more interesting set pieces.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable progress in recent years, with advancements in areas such as natural language processing, machine learning, and computer vision.

In this article, we will explore Moravec’s Paradox, examine the differences between robotics and AI, discuss why robotics is lagging behind AI, and how Appventurez can help integrate these technologies.
