- 26161: The Ironies of 1984
- ... the first example of this irony is discovered when the main character, Winston Smith, uses the "Memory hole" to deposit things -- one would think that this would be where things are remembered ("Memory"), but it's actually an incinerator. The next example of irony comes when you learn about the departments of Government in Oceania.

- 26163: The Glass Menagerie: Amanda Wingfield Is Annoying
- ... Amanda Wingfield Is Annoying I found the character of the mother Amanda Wingfield really quite annoying to listen to after a few moments of hearing her. It brought back many memories of my ex-husband’s mother. She was just as much a nag as Amanda.

Like in Scene 1, where amanda asks Tom to come to the table, reminds me of when I used to hate dinnertime at Eva’s house. It was a real blessing when she went out of town. She would always instruct my son to not push food into his mouth, like Amanda said to Tom. A person could not ...
