Chicago

1. In Chicago there were many different ritualistic events and activities in which the people were involved, many of which thousands of people would gather just to hear about. “Two thousand people gathered on the sidewalk and street outside the offices of the Chicago Tribune…” The people were gathered to hear the news about the big fair that was coming up. This fair was deep in the hearts of the Chicago people, just as the superbowl is in the hearts of Americans in today’s world.

Living in a big city is a lot different than living in the country. Cities are compact , loud, and always busy; the country is usually isolated, tranquil, and underpopulated. In a city like Chicago, which is home to about 2.8 million people, there are so many things that contrast from the country. In Chicago, there are about 16 houses per block, there are about two schools within a five mile radius, schools are packed, sports aren’t well funded, and education was kind of like a repeat every year.

The choreography’s between these dances involved detailed and complex dance movements. Many of the song numbers used in Chicago were based off of earlier works used in during the 20th century. But Fosse turned it into something more modern. Some of Fosse’s signature moves in this musical and others were the slow burn, crescent jump, and the broken doll

CAAP gives incoming freshmen insight into the University of Chicago experience. CAAP softens the transition for students into the UChicago experience. CAAP allows you to have a head start in meeting new and amazing students. CAAP exposes students to the Hyde Park way of life. CAAP is right for me because it will prepare me for what is to come next within the next four years at the University of Chicago.

All of the actors in Miracle are cast appropriately. Each and every one lived up to the

The motivations for the Chinese to come to the United States are similar to most immigrants. These motivations are what most people call "The American Dream." These could be looking for a better life, having a better job, running away from political issues. However, for Chinese these American dreams were not too easy to achieve at first compared to other immigrants. Chinese suffered a lot more obstacles and discriminations because they are relatively small and easy to be targeted on. Even more the legal system passed a law in 1963 forbidding Chinese to testify against white men in court. This anti-Chinese action was most critical in the Pacific Coast; as a result, it caused the dispersion of Chinese that had settled in California to the

In Chicago, the main plot revolves around women who murder the men in their lives that have caused some injustice. Each woman has a story to justify the reason why the men had to die. Billy Flynn is a charismatic criminal lawyer that has never lost a case for a female client. The proceedings in jail and in the courtroom are anything but legal and ethical. It is clear that the plot is not serious. This justifies the fact that the female prison inmates are allowed to interact with each other in song and dance. Also the so-called warden can also act as a contract agent to get the girls their own Vaudeville act. The main purpose of the show is to water down the book plot and add individual entertainers. This is done to integrate the Vaudeville quality within a musical. In doing so the courtroom and jail is paralleled with a nightclub scene. The main purpose to maintain the Vaudeville quality is suggesting the cliché "all the world's a stage." In

For my city I chose Chicago. I chose this because I really like the city, it is close to home and it is the least vulnerable to climate change. Chicago is located in the Midwest. It is one of the largest city in the United States with a population almost at 3 million. Chicago is a huge city and a metropolitan area that stretches over 10,874km². As the center of the Midwest, Chicago is easy to find. This city sits right on Lake Michigan. It has lots of iconic sights and neighborhoods.

Chicago is based on playwright by Maurine Dallas Watkins, who was assigned to cover the 1924 trials of accused murderers Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner for the Chicago

Even though both pieces take place during different periods of time, that doesn't change people’s reactions towards the crimes and trials that are occurring in both the novel and musical. In “Chicago”, murder was a way many people got famous, it would end up in the newspaper, on the radio, and your name and face was everywhere. People looked forward to seeing who was the next person on the front page. When they would find out, they would make a massive spectacular. Once Roxie Hart killed Fred Casely, her name was known by everyone. Everyone wanted to see her, ask her questions, some even wanted to look like her. Despite the fact that she murdered someone, everyone wanted to be just like Roxie. As her trial was going on, no one could wait to hear if they convicted her of the crime or not. There were people that had made newspaper for both “Innocent” and “Guilty” as they waited to see what she was sentenced. Her crime, or anyone else before or after, was big entertainment more than anything else. But once she was pronounced innocent and was released, another woman killed someone, and she was completely

Since the 1950s everyone in America has known of the major problem plaguing southern and western Chicago streets: extreme amounts unnecessary of violence. This topic has become even more publicly known with the recent presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, where Trump spoke about the violence on multiple occasions as well as taking the topic to twitter a few times (Chicago Still Isn’t). Also, the number of murders, homicides, and other regular crimes all increased dramatically in 2016, breaking almost all statistics from previous years. Even though the violence does create jobs in the police force, the violence needs to be

The documentary ‘Chicago City of the Century’ tells a remarkable story about a city that underwent a horrific event, the people that did not want it to perish, and the enterpenurs that helped revive the city and proved that you can change a bad situation into something good.

On May 1st, 1893, the political and economic elite of the city of Chicago spared no expense when they host the Columbian Exposition, which showcased the technological, economic, and social capabilities of the United States of America and the City of Chicago to the world (Hoyt, 2003). For the United States, this cultural, technological, and economic showcase was an example of the massive capabilities of the country that now rivaled—perhaps even surpassed the capabilities of Europe. For Chicago, the hope was to cement a change in its social and cultural appearance to the outside world. Although one of America’s fastest growing cities—as well as one of the largest, Chicago was having immense struggles with its image as its impoverished and marginalized

Very interesting report, and I do have a few questions, and the first one is do you think that they can strictly enforce the gun laws? I ask that question because, I do not believe this can happen. There are way too many ways to buy an unregister weapon, be it online, a friend of a friend or sealing it from an owner who never reported owning a weapon in the first place, and that is just for starters.

The story of my transnational migration to Chicago is like many others. I was born and spent a large part of my childhood in the coastal city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia with my family. Living there I spent a lot of time with my parents and other little girls in my neighborhood, we played together while our moms ate date pastries and our dads talked separately with espresso in another room. The boys always played outside, but sometimes we played tag together. It wasn’t until I came to America that I realized how different life in Saudi Arabia was. I realized that my own family had changed our daily behaviors and learned to become accustomed to the institutions of America. I realized the different way that religion, gender roles, and social expectations interacted within society to create cultural dynamics was vastly different in America, specifically in terms of gender roles and gendered behaviors.
