Location Essay

The Greek Amphitheatre
Louisiana State University has amphitheatre which has a circle stage, seating for what seems like a million, and it is an ancient grey color. It is almost like the Shamu show at SeaWorld, minus the pool of water and the killer whale. It took me back to the day I was in Delphi, Greece visiting one of the old amphitheatres that were used to perform famous ancient plays in, and also reminded me of the Shakespeare Globe theatre in London, England. When I was sitting in what seemed ancient amphitheatre it gave me a sudden sense of happiness. It was a beautiful fall day and the trees were clashing together from the wind. Leaves were blowing onto the ground as if it was the winter snow falling. The sun was glistening down onto the circle stage like a spotlight shines onto an indoor theatre stage. It is a perfect place for a play to take place. There is plenty of seating, but the play would have to be at night-strictly because lights do not exist around the amphitheatre. A day like the first of October would’ve been a perfect day to hold the play I suggested because it was absolutely beautiful out. The birds were chirping as if they had seen a pile of food lying in their nest. The amphitheatre is an example of a good place to go when you need peace and quiet or when you need to relax. It is a stress relieving place and gives you the opportunity to enjoy the nature that surrounds you and the amphitheatre. There are many other places on Louisiana State University that are just as pretty, but the amphitheatre, I think, is the most enjoyable and beautiful place to be when you’re looking for a quiet stress-relieving place. The amphitheatre might even be a good place for someone to go do homework or study.
