Rose Parade : The Rose Parade

The article “Toddlers in Tiara’s” by Skip Hollandsworth based off the popular TV show Toddlers and Tiara’s, converses the sexualization of the girls who participate in American beauty pageants. Hollandsworth parleys the effects beauty pageants could possibly have on those who participate in the pageants, such as development and emotion problems. Using the appeals of logic, emotion and ethics in a serious and informative tone he persuades his audience of parents, pageant participants and viewers of the widely known TV show the negative effects of being an American Beauty Pageant contestant. Hollandsworth gains credibility by referencing the opinions of different professionals and authorities. Before the death of JonBenet many Americans didn’t

Mardi Gras has spread throughout the ages, and will continue to expand. Festive traditions of Mardi Gras have spread overseas to New Orleans, Louisiana, Cadiz, Spain, Venice, Italy, and Rio de Janeiro. In the United States the celebration goes above and beyond. With the parades in New Orleans and the balls in St. Louis, the U.S is full of tradition. Krewes who work behind the scenes plan for months to prepare for the extravagant festival. Along with planning, they gather any thing green, gold, or purple to attach to their floats. All this work leads up to the insane party of a holiday which most people think is incredible and fun. Everyone is invited to celebrate , and to have a good time during Mardi

A mother is a woman that loves her children despite all of their flaws, insecurities, and fears. A mother is a woman who will always worry about her children no matter how old they may grow, from age zero to age fifty-five. A mother is someone that will go hungry so that her children can eat, will walk barefoot so her children will have shoes, and will go poor paying for her children’s needs. These characteristics all describe a typical mother but not all describe Rose Mary Walls, the mother of four children in the memoir The Glass Castle. Instead of acting in a selfless manner rather than selfish, Rose Mary’s attitudes and behaviors are childlike to the point that her children must assume adult responsibilities because she refuses to. Rose

The Krewe of Cleopatra is an all women crew that represents strength, beauty, and femininity. Earlier this month, I got to see the Cleopatra crew performed and it was an astonishing experience. I lived here in New Orleans for nine years, but I have never participated in a parade before. Even though it was a popular culture, I was always too lazy to go. This year I wanted to do something more than just staying home and play game, I wanted to go out and experience the atmosphere, but more specifically I wanted to experience the Mardi Gras atmosphere. It was a unique atmosphere that I certainly love to go again.

A Powwow is a congregation where Native American celebration, singing and dancing take place. Throughout the country there are numerous different powwows; though in this essay I will talk about overall powwows and in details the Jingle Dress Dance which by most accounts has its roots in the northern regions of the United States.

In 1989 Pete Rose, one of baseball’s greatest, lost all the respect he had gain in his successful career. That year, the league had brought to there attention that Pete Rose was a chronic gambler.

DCMB has participated in Denver’s Annual Parade of Lights for several years now, which is an incredibly feat, considering the difficulty in being accepted. Organizations need to apply months in advance, and decisions regarding the performance must have already been reached at that time. “The application asks for what you are going to wear, what the students are going to wear, what music you want to play, how many students are involved, who your chaperons are, and all kinds of questions like that,” explained DCMB Director Jason U’Ren. U’Ren added that

In summary, the parade included the police department, tractors, modern cars, floats, marching units, school bands, school clubs, and sport teams from different areas. The parade even carried the delta fair queen and maids. My favorite section of the parade were the floats considering some people get so creative decorating. The floats were awarded. First place won $1000, second place won $600, third place won $450, fourth place won $350, and fifth place won $250. Some people bring in their competitive side, which makes it really amusing to watch.

“True marionettes are those manipulated from above by means of wires, or strings, which give life and motion to the figures as they are handled by the operator, or puppeteer” (UP). Malisa Sweet tells a Sebirt, Golden Kite Award for Picture Book Illustration, and Orbit award winner bibliography about Tony Sarg and his love for “figuring out how to make things move” (UP), which lead to a love of marionettes and the first Thanksgiving Macy’s parade. In the back of the book Balloon Over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy 's Parade, on the sleeve, Sweet explains how she too shared that love when she was a child. Sweet connecting the main character’s interest to herself can allow lead reader to believe that Melissa Sweet is probably not an expert on who Tony Sarg is and marionettes, but wrote the book because of that common interest she shared with Tony Sarg. Although Melissa Sweet is not an expert, Sweet does have citations from other bibliographies and sources, and even a couple of websites. In the Author’s Note, Sweet even quotes Tony Sarg’s daughter, “quite simply, Tony Sarg just never grew up” (UP). Through Tony Sarg’s creativity, love for marionettes, and child like personality, Tony Sarg knows who he is and understands his identity. With that, Melissa Sweet is able to tell the story of how Tony Sarg is able to use his creative imagination and problem solving capabilities to start an American tradition that is still celebrated every year to this day.

We’ve all heard of the festival being a scene with women flashing for beads and I totally expected the streets (especially Bourbon Street) to be filled with half-naked drunk people. What I found instead, were elaborately dressed festival-goers of all ages celebrating, laughing and expressing themselves through music, art, and dance. While many costumes and signs were humorous and outrageous, I never once felt anything other than love and positivity around

The Flower Festival, is also a major attraction in Medellin. It takes place at the end of July and it lasts until early August. This huge annual event is opened with about 7,000 campesinos parading through the city on horseback. Groups or individuals may have a theme or motto, such as peace, but other prefer to linger along the route provoking cheers from the large audience. Others gallop, or dance their horses decorated in all types of colors and of different sizes for the duration of the parade which goes on for about eight hours.

The movie, “The Name of the Rose” is about apprentice Adso of Melk and his mentor, Franciscan friar William of Baskerville. These two men traveled to a Benedictine abbey to discuss the poverty of Christ. While at the abbey, there was a series of mysterious murders that continued to take place one after another. The abbey requested that William and Adso help to solve the mystery of why these murders were taking place. Through many trials and setbacks, William discovered that a secretive book was being passed from person to person. He learned that when a person touched the book with their hands, they later digested the poisonous ink. This poisonous ink that got on the victims’ hands was the cause of all the murders. Therefore, the movie does not have an accurate plot, however the historical background in the film is correct based on the sources.
