Sam and Mary are in they’re early twenties. They have been dating each other since early high school.
Sam
Sam is a quiet male in his early twenties. He is the guitar player and main songwriter for Mary and his band. In Mary’s Song, Sam is the protagonist. Sam’s key flaw is; he sees life as a fantasy instead of a reality. Throughout the film we will see how this rationality destroys everything he holds dear, like his relationship and his band.
Mary
Mary is an outgoing female in her early twenties. She is the head and lead vocals of Sam and her band. In Mary’s Song, Mary’s key flaw is she gets too caught up in the moment. In the film we see that Mary is able to get by on her charisma and charm instead of hard work.
Significance
The target market for this film is people in twenties and early thirties. This film is relatable because most 20 or 30 year olds have experienced a first love and have probably have had their first love exit their lives. By using Sam and Mary as a high school sweetheart couple who become distant we can spark emotional reaction into the audience. In return the audience will feel emotionally connected to Sam and start to root for him. This target audience is ideal because they will be the most interested in the musical content. By focusing on indie music the film has a stronger appeal to a younger
Mary is 39 -year-old LPN and single mother who is attending a local community college to prepare for an A.S. degree in nursing so she can then become an RN. Mary has not been feeling well for several months. She has had bouts of nausea, a low fever, and has found that she no longer enjoys eating and smoking as much as she used to. She has also noticed that her urine is darker than usual and she has yellowing of her eyes. She has noted that she has a puffy appearance. Results of blood tests at her doctor’s office reveal that her ALT, AST , alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin levels are elevated and that she also has an elevated count of lymphocytes. Further tests reveal that she is positive for the presence
It is a well known fact that experiencing war changes people; there is an innocence that is forever lost. In Tim O’Brian’s, “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong”, Mary Anne Bell is an unusual example of the innocence that is lost in war because unlike the rest of the soldiers, she is a woman. Mary Anne’s transformation from innocent “sweetheart” to fierce warrior left readers with mixed emotions because although Mary Anne felt at peace with her transformation, she was also disconnected from reality.
Mary Anne is portrayed as the best woman in the book. She is only seventeen and her high school sweetheart, Mark Fossie, arranges it so
Within the realm of philosophy, new ideas are formed, applauded, often questioned, and most carefully analyzed. These new ideas are what provoke thought, and help move progressive thinkers forward. This can be said to be true in Frank Jackson’s case, with his essay “What Mary Didn’t Know”. Jackson presents an argument that challenges the thoughts of physicalism, physicalism being, “…the challenging thesis that [the actual world] is entirely physical” (Jackson 291). Jackson creates what he calls the ‘knowledge argument’. In his essay Jackson presents the example of Mary, a woman who lives in an entirely black and white world. She is confined to her room, and everything is controlled so that all that Mary views is black and white. It is
The topic I chose for this paper is the article What Mary Didn’t Know written by Frank Jackson. Essentially, What Mary Didn’t Know focuses on a woman, Mary, who is confined to a room where nothing contains any colour, everything is in black and white. She is educated this same way, strictly through means black and white tools. She is taught every possible thing there is to know about the physical nature of our world. Jackson concludes that physicalism must be false, for when she is let out of that black and white room, having complete knowledge of the physical world, that she will learn what the colour red is. Jackson believes that through his article, he has disproven physicalism. This paper will prove why Jackson’s article is false, and
When she enters the bedroom, her voice changes from present to past tense and she starts to reminisce and begins to talk about her mother and aunts. She seems happy to remember her mother’s room and introduces her aunts to the audiences. Mary delivers her dialogue saying that the dressing table and the small elephant statue figures are all same. When Mary gently touches her mother’s photo, she delivers a sad tone. Her performance conveys to the audiences that she misses her mother. The tone of her voice represents that she is a gentle, innocent and a loving child. Her verbal and non-verbal interactions conveyed the viewers with a message that she is an orphan.
Billie Holiday, whose real name is Eleanora Gough, was born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania in 1915. She grew up mostly in Baltimore and always loved jazz. Billie was born to very young parents. Her mother was thirteen when she was born and her father just fifteen. (www.numberonestars.com, 2010)
During this scene, you hear the disappointment and the curiosity in the children’s voices. They haven’t seen their father, MacGregor, in a while and seem a bit distraught. They even ask their mother if their father is coming to their new home with them. Mary is all over the place with her emotions, but is trying to keep it together for her children. In my opinion, I feel bad for the children. They don’t know that their father has been caught and sentenced to death, they don’t understand why their village was burnt down and their mother isn’t fully there, due to her own pain she has gone through recently. Nonetheless, the children still seem content that they have a roof over their heads again and are waiting for their fathers return.
In the end, the two boys are faced with the grim reality that the girls have no desire for their company. This is their awakening of themselves. It shows how despair can be both disheartening and uplifting at the same time. The gifts each young man offered his love interest are not well received. No matter their efforts, both young men fail miserably in their attempts to win their respective ladies. Sammy knows what he has done will change his life forever and that nothing can change that now but, is also
Yet, both Mary and McGregor, show the love they have for one another, exempting all other emotions for the time being, until the love goes back to the pain and sorrow each one has. The song, “Hallelujah” is supposed to depict the love, sorrow and pain both of them are forced to endure.
Mary Hutchinson was by far the most glorious and loving person through-out the novel, and loved by all that knew her, “We all loved one another but somehow every one of us had a special work with Polly. She was so bright and cheery and brave” (Pg.7). She was a young seamstress who lived a simple life, making an honest living and was very close to her loving family. She had been pursued by her co-worker the young Jack Wilson, who fall in love with her (or so she thought), but it was normal for people to be attracted to her beautiful nature. After years of courting they had finally gotten married and had children of their own, although the second would not be born until the “father” I say vaguely had left the country. This once highly sought after woman would now be left to care for two young children while her husband moved countries to find work (not to mention flee embarrassment). This was the moment that would change her life for the worst, only she hadn’t known it yet.

As Mary’s story unravels, she continues to suffer long hours of work, starvation, and separation from her family. She reads her holy bible and is constantly reminding herself that God is with her and will see her through these trials. Her spirits are lifted her master agrees to sell Mary to her husband, and her mistress begins the journey with her, but before long the mistress decides not to go any further and they turn back. Not long after, she starts to loose hope that she will ever be reunited with her family. She becomes discouraged, and her spirit
At the same time though, Mary Keane’s expression of her life being lonely signifies that she wants to and has tried to pursue love. This is also clear because of the fact that she dates her brother’s friend George, although he soon disappears. All this establishes the fact that Mary Keane has been struggling to pursue love. Most of this has been done through references to Mary Keane’s past love life. The fact that she is dating but yet feels lonely clearly establishes the fact that Mary Keane is struggling internally in pursuing true love.
