Felix Ungar Research Paper

Oscar Madison’s change is much more evident than Felix’s is. He starts the show as self-centered and sloppy, a self proclaimed “husky man” (The Odd Couple, 263). By the end of the show, he tells the boys who play poker with him to “watch [their] cigarettes… it’s [his] house, not a pigsty” (The Odd Couple, 301). This is an important quote because at the start of the play he is the one dropping cigarettes all over the floor. It shows his complete 180 turn, even if it is just in this aspect. His switch doesn’t occur all at once, as even in the character’s famous fight-scene he is rude and unwilling to give up.

He was born in Marshall, TX to a father who was a minister and a mother who would stay at home. My intellectual development was simpler than that of James Farmer, due to the time period in which he grew up in that affected his education, the way he was parented and because of the color of his skin.

The United States Army Garrison Ansbach is no stranger to change.

Every March 17th, more than 150 million Americans put on their green hats, and begin celebrating in the memory of St.Patrick, the missionary who first converted the Irish isles to catholicism. More than one hundred years ago, however, such celebrations would have caused rioting- and even turf wars between Irish Catholics and ‘Native American’ Protestants. In today’s society protestant-catholic sectarianism is limited to the far flung corners of Ulster and Belfast. However, in the mid 1800s, cities like New York or Philadelphia were on the verge of civil war, stopped only by the toils, kindness and wisdom of ‘The Dagger’ John Hughes, the naturalized Irish born archbishop of New York in the mid 1800s.
