When reading a book, sometimes it becomes easy to see that a particular place in the book appears time after time. Because of its recurrence, the given setting begins to bear the significance of an individual character. In Annie Baker’s The Flick, the movie theater functions as an individual character for the three following reasons: it exists as the subject of conversation for the characters; it helps a character recall certain events that occurred in the theater; it acts as a mediator.

The use of technology has catalyzed society into an era that is increasingly interconnected yet impersonal at the same time. Despite technology’s endless list of assets, many fail to acknowledge its shortcomings when mentioning what is lost as a result of using it. Although in “Great to Watch” by Maggie Nelson, she is not afraid to share her skepticism of technology, as well as the role it plays in desensitizing individuals on a day-to-day basis. The internet is an invaluable resource to many because it is a public domain for sharing ideas, opinions, and knowledge that any and everyone can have access to. In a sense, it does not restrict what someone may see or do, and this can either be a good thing or a bad thing. The booming use of new media

It all started in 1939 when World War II broke out. Men were being recruited to go to war and were leaving their jobs. Who was going to take over for them while they were gone?

Between 1940 and 1945 the workforce increased by 10%. Then later on in the 1980’s the Rosie The Riveter poster was picked up and used in the feminist movement. Rosie The

Lilo and Stitch is a Disney animated movie that was released in 2002. It is set in Hawaii, and concentrates on a strong family ideal, revolving around a family unit of two orphaned sisters, Lilo and Nani. Even though ages were not mentioned directly in the movie, Lilo seems to be around 5 or 6 years old, and Nani around 18 or 19 years old. Their parents died in a car accident, and judging by their lack of change in appearance in a family photo that is referenced throughout the movie, and Lilo’s memories she shares, it seems to be a recent tragedy. In the movie, they are referred to as a “broken family,” and instead of the tragedy happening during the movie, we enter their lives during the transition period following the tragedy, where Nani is trying very hard to compensate for the loss of their parents and provide for Lilo while being visited by a social worker to determine if it is fit for Lilo to stay with Nani. While all of this transition and family struggle is happening, they go to adopt a pet at the local shelter and instead find themselves adopting an alien (even though they think it is a dog) who they name Stitch, and earlier in the movie is shown to be an experiment by an alien scientist and is programmed to destroy. For the purposes of this paper, we will not be going into detail about Stitch as an alien, and instead focusing on the family unit of Lilo and Nani, and their transition from being in a standard nuclear family to being just the two of them lacking parental figures.

At the beginning of the film/movie, it started with the ant colony picking and providing food for the grasshoppers. They operate by traditional agricultural labor.

This economy is based on a traditionalist economy. They stick to the way things have been for quite some time. There was never any thought of doing anything new because that could cause a huge amount of risk when it comes disrupting the way things have been smoothly running. The ants in the movie run/work off a rank system. Depending on their rank depends on what they do. There is the queen

It is no secret that dead celebrities sell. In many cases certain celebrities could rack in more bucks after their death than they did before it. But who gets this money? New York legislature knows this is an issue, and they are proposing a bill, S.5650/A.709, that calls for statutory right of publicity for the deceased. This bill, if passed, would extend the right of publicity for 70 years after death for anyone- not just celebrities. This would mean the name, voice, signature, image or likeness illustrating any person who was a resident of New York before they died would require a valid federal copyright and the permission from their heirs for use for “commercial purpose.” It protects artistic and creative works and allows books, plays, magazines, newspapers, music, film, radio, television and other media to use a living or deceased individual’s name or likeness in a range of fictional and non-fictional works.
