Language represents the world has been long. As the means of

In other words, behind of speaker utterance has been acting and action. It means that speaking language is performing an action such as stating, asking, warning, and ect. Speech acts are acts of the communication. Speech acts are also considered in which to say something is doing something. Based on the Austin theory an utterance has three types of acts, that is, locutionary act which the utterance itself has meaning, illocutionary act is speaker meaning behind what he is uttered and the last is perlocutionary act is the effect of speaker’s intention to hearers. Furthermore, speech acts could be found not only in the social community conversation but also in the utterance which is uttered by the characters. Even, basically the utterance which is used in the play text is not natural. So, the writer chooses the ‘Devil and Daniel Webster’ play text because the Devil and Daniel Webster are based on a patriotic short story of the same title by Stephen Vincent Benet (1898-1943). The short story talks about a farmer living in New Hampshire, who is bored with his poor life, Jabez Stone. This study is important because it provides insight into utility of human communication.

Stephen Vincent Benet: The Spirit of Patriotism in His Poetry
Full text linkAfter reading the background of Benet\u27s life, the writer found it necessary to choose, study, and interpret facts that would apply to the subject of patriotism. This was not particularly difficult and far from tedious. A new approach seemed to be introduced by Benet in expressing his feeling as his country grew and developed or as his historical character or event took shape in each particular piece of his literature. It proved a most fascinating study in which to pin-point a man\u27s point of view and to give credit to him not only for his poetry but to the expression of American loyalty. Thus the purpose of the thesis is to show Benet\u27s spirit of patriotism as it is brought out in much of his poetry
A Production Thesis of Stephen Vincent Benet\u27s John Brown\u27s Body
Full text linkThe year 1961 marked the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the statehood of Kansas and of the beginning of the United States Civil War. Throughout the country, writers of fiction and non-fiction, poets, playwrights and musicians unearthed or wrote anew accounts of the Civil War. Patriotic Kansans staged a variety of pageants to commemorate the birth of their state. Coincidence in the times of the beginning of the Civil War and the statehood of Kansas often allowed coincidental celebrations--pageants depicting events common to both. Apropo to the celebration of these two anniversaries, the writer chose to produce and direct a dramatization of Stephen Vincent Benet\u27s epic poem, John Brown\u27s Body as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for a master\u27s degree in Speech at Fort Hays Kansas State College
