Question
The stage has a great impact on the presentations of the students. Justify the statement.
Solution
During the half-yearly report, as the students take the stage, it becomes very clear that they have made considerable progress not only as students but also as individuals. Even if Braithwaite had been aware of how his students had changed, the setting of the auditorium and the stage, with him as an audience member allows him to observe from afar, the rewards of his efforts. The stage is one of the aspects of the setting that is symbolic to the student's progress and their lives. By presenting their reports, the students are not just taking active participation in their school, but also coming forward to take control of their lives. The stage represents the perfect platform for the students to showcase their skills, and thus can also be compared to the stage of the drama, with the students being given the chance to charm the audience.
