For many, the relationship they form with their parents establishes the standard for how the majority of their other connections will cultivate in their life. According to psychologist Sigmund Freud, these relationships -whether positive or negative- have a tremendous impact on how people comport themselves with others later in life. Additionally, the relationships maintained with ones’ parental figures become somewhat of a mirror of how one will act themselves in their adult life, any sort of trauma experienced during childhood can compromise your behavior. This Freudian analysis is apparent in the novel, We the Animals by Justin Torres. “Paps” as his own children tenderly refer him, is suggested to have

Taiwan and America have always had strong relations since the early 1900s. However, during the Cold War, they became even closer allies. During this time, many famous American dancers such as Alvin Ailey, José Limón and Paul Taylor visited Taiwan. They brought along the ideas of American-style democracy embedded in the art form of modern dance, which also expressed individual freedom. In addition, the United States’ aid to Taiwan during the 1950s and 1960s helped Taiwan create the booming economy it enjoys today. In the 1970s, the growth of economic changes allowed for the numbers of professionals and intellectuals to grow. This caused the middle class to expand, and the Taiwanese people became interested in their culture, religion, and art, and how it was distinct from that of China. Modern dance and Western classical music in Taiwan reflected the push for modernization in society. The United States became the top training destination for young Taiwanese dancers. Especially in 1987, after martial law in Taiwan was lifted, many dancers began setting up their own troupes. One of the most famous American-trained Taiwanese dancers would be Lin Hwai-min, who later returned to Taiwan and in 1973 founded the world-acclaimed Cloud Gate Dance Theater of Taiwan. However, this paper will be focusing on a lesser-known Taiwanese-American modern dancer: Nai-Ni Chen. Chen is currently a successful modern dancer in Fort Lee, New

In Ceremony, Leslie Silko ties the concept of transitions into the book. Transitions are used to describe and show the change that Tayo is going through during the whole book, or his ceremony. They show Tayo’s progress in his ceremony and also show his change of thinking. Silko mentions transitions when she wrote, “[Tayo] had only seen and heard the world as it always was: no boundaries, only transitions through all distances and time” (229). This shows that Tayo’s world revolves around transitions. They can happen anywhere, at any time. Silko also mentions the concept of transitions in the book when Betonie tells Tayo that “it is a matter of transitions. You see; the changing, the becoming must be cared for closely” (120). This

Storyteller by Carrie Underwood is one of her best albums yet. She is a phenomenal singer who won American Idol back in 2005 and has not left the top since. Although Underwood went from nobody to the top extremely quick, the media still portrays her as being level headed unlike many other celebrities. Her debut album Some Hearts was declared the best-selling album of 2006 in all genres. Underwood is the most successful of any Idol winner and is also the only country artist to have his or her first five albums all reaching first or second on the Billboard 200 chart. When she released Storyteller in 2015, I had nothing but high expectations from this magnificent vocalist. In the Storyteller album, Underwood shows her passion for her life through her songs. She does this with catchy beats and memorable lyrics that share her stories to listeners through her music and does so very successfully.

Through the usage of an exotic dancer in “The Harlem Dancer,” Claude McKay is able to juxtapose the preconceived notions of both the Harlem Renaissance and the Roaring Twenties, identifying them as interlocking entities that have merely been glamourized. Lines 7 through 14 illustrate the ways in which McKay is able to bridge the gap between the Harlem Renaissance and the Roaring Twenties. The poem’s beginning sets the stage of a nightclub. Coming in at line 7 the poem reads: To me she seemed a proudly-swaying palm Grown lovelier for passing through a storm.
