We can determinate in both stories that definitely the outside conditions can determinate and influenciate the protagonists decisions and the ways they finally choose for the rest of their lives.

Barrio boy and No gumption have a common point: the external conditions are extremely unfavorable for life development of the main characters: in Galarza´s tale, the family had to emigrate to another country due to violence generated for revolution, and in the case of Baker´s autobiobraphy is the big depression the main reason which his mother searched a job as a newspapers seller.

Even we can find a very clear difference between stories: In Galarza´s story, the main character found a real interest and genuine curiosity about his fate, the fact to constantly traveling and face another cultures; while in Baker´s tale, show us a kid totally unhappy with his job that confirm us an evident lack of interest for the one.

Finally we can highlight that, in barrio boy, constantly travelling and the workers world contact and their daily live give to the author the opportunity to become in an union worker and in that way fell himself identified with their cause; In No gumption the author when he finally found out he is not a good newspapers salesman, not even care to try it to be a good one, find the way to begin to write and finally realized he is a good writer.

In 300 words or less, explain how ancient Greek Drama is different from our contemporary experience at the movies or at the thea

uranmaximum [27]

There are many differences. Greek theater had a chorus, which sang and likely danced. The arrangement of the stage was completely different, featuring a single building with a large entrance on to the stage, a crane to bring divine characters in on a higher level, a dancing area for the chorus, and so on. Actors were all male and performed in masks; there were few actors available for the playwright's use (two or later three could be on stage at a time). Plays were put on at civic/religious festivals, not as standalone productions, and cycles of four plays (three tragedies and a comic satyr play) by the same author were performed. The list could go on for a while.
