Charles wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843. This short novel has a Christmas theme and has been popular since it was first published. This moral story is about an old man called Scrooge who hates Christmas and is mean to everyone, but he is transformed. The lessons he learns are as much for the reader to benefit from as Scrooge.

Art has undoubtedly become a decisive aspect of our culture; embedded in the way we learn and grow on a daily basis. Art forms such as music, television and dance dominate our society as an outlet of freedom of speech for humanity. The evolution of music has rapidly exceeded its original classifications, developing new genres with greater appeal to an audience, hence its influence on society has expedited. In recent times, lyrics (specifically rap lyrics) have been introduced into the court room as a form of documented confessional evidence, evidently challenging law’s authoritative nature. This essay will closely follow the genre of rap and its relationship with law, through cases based in the United States of America (USA). In addition, the trial of Simon Bikindi in Rwanda and Smith v The Queen will be used to form an acute analysis on the influencing factors of relevance, identity, freedom of speech and current constitutional law.

During the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, there was a lot of positive and negative communication that influenced the main character’s life decisions. The story is about a young woman, named Toula, that is of Greek decent who is fearful of being stuck in the life she is now living.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is a story about a man who is stingy, rude and solitary. His name is Scrooge, and he gets taught many lessons. Scrooge comes out a changed man who is optimistic and happy. The lessons he gets taught is not only for him but also for Dickens' readers. Throughout this text, there many situations where usual readers can relate to. In other parts of the text, there are moments that are rare and have a massive impact on Scrooge's life. A Christmas Carol's messages are for the readers because Scrooge is a metaphor for the wrongdoings in life, these lessons could happen to anyone and because the book was created so that no one should go through the experiences that

Music is part of everyday life and serves as the center of many cultures across the world. Music brings out the best parts of a movie, a car ride, or even a special event. The purpose of music varies from artist to artist and different cultures. Every piece of music carries a unique message, but a song, in particular, carries meaning. “Runaway Love” by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige, exploits the struggles of young girls by using rhetorical techniques, such as pathos, ethos, logos, tone, and visual rhetoric throughout the music video to raise national awareness about youth runaways.

“Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.”( Erich Fromm) In the story, A Christmas Carol, By Charles Dickens. The main character is a greedy man named Ebenezer Scrooge who has no Christmas spirit. Scrooge starts off in the story with no joy in his life. He is then visited by the ghost of his former coworker, who says that the Scrooge will be visited by three spirits who show him the past, present, and the future. There are many similarities between the drama and the movie.

Andrea, I am a fan of CCR too. I also found this plagiarism case strange. John Fogerty was sued for plagiarizing a song from CCR which was basically plagiarizing himself. I realize he had signed over his publishing rights to Saul Zaentz who was the head of Fantasy Records in order to get out of his contract when CCR broke up, but I'm glad that he did win the case because I think that it is unrealistic to say that someone else could own his style of composing music. I believe the defamation charge against Fogerty was due to a libelous song that he wrote and recorded supposedly about Saul Zaentz because of this case that was called 'Zanz Kant Danz'. Afterward, Fogarty changed the name of the song to 'Vanz Kant

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.

Picking Up the Pieces is the film being produced to document my life. I have never put much thought into how my life would be portrayed or even documented. However, as I sit here thinking about what music I would use for the soundtrack, I start thinking about all of the things that I have been through in my life. All of those hurdles that I had to climb over and the songs that have so much meaning start to flow through my mind. There are many songs to choose from, but I narrow them down to the top four that I feel set the mood of how I have picked up the pieces of my life from a tragic divorce and moved on to now being a thriving non-traditional college student seeking to become a Hospitality Manager.

The case I chose to write about is Pharrell Williams hit 2014 "Happy". The song was released in 2013 and has accumulated over 46 million views on YouTube since then and has won various awards and nominations as well as appearing in the popular animated movie Despicable Me 2. Although the case as of now has not been taken to court, the track’s rhythm sounds oddly familiar to a song written by Marvin Gaye in 1965 titled “Ain’t That Peculiar”. The family of Gaye has had previous issues with Pharrell and other popular artist plagiarizing as well. In 2013 the family sued artist Robin Thicke and Williams for their song “Blurred Lines” on the grounds of copyright infringement for sounding almost exactly like Gaye’s song “Got To Give It Up”. Early

On the evening of July 27th, I attended a production of “Carrie: The Musical” based on the novel “Carrie” by Stephen King. The musical was performed by Near West Theater in Cleveland and directed by Devon Turchan. The main character who name is Carrie White is an outcast through the entire play and her entire life you learn this when the other students talk about past experiences with Carrie. The main antagonist in the play is her very own mother Margaret White. Ms.White is a very religious woman that wants to protect Carrie from the dangers in the world and even herself, very overprotective women and to what I believe very crazy. The plot is brought to life by supporting characters/actors in the play who names are Sue Nell, Tommy Ross, Chris Hargensen, Billy Nolan, Miss Gardner. The actions of all these people building up and resting on carrier shoulders throughout the play cause her to find out she has powers. The end of Act II is when everything comes together Carrie who was invited to the prom by Tommy Ross in a generous gesture that was purposed by Sue Nell. The prom was going very well and Carrie was becoming carefree and was seeing everything she missed out on. Things took things for the worse when Chris and Tommy pour pigs blood on her when she won prom queen. Carrie took all the frustration and years of bullying and the powers she found out about she burned everyone alive at the prom. When she got home she was covered in blood and was crying her very own mom took
