Passing Strange is a Broadway production that explores the life journey of Youth, a brave young man, who is doing the impossible to achieve his dream. At first he is presented as a shy guy, who does not have enough courage to declare what he desires. His mother is the one that worries about his life and his feelings, because she wants the best for her son. However, Youth decides to go on a journey far away from his mother, from his old lifestyle, far way from everything. He travels to foreign lands, meets new and interesting people; he is living the dream. Everything looks unreal, because indeed it is. Youth forgets that only love is real and everything else without love is empty. When he recalls what love is, it is already too late

One of the questions I asked him was “When growing up, what was your first pet you ever encountered?”My dad’s reply was highly entertaining. He explained his story of his first pet. My dad started out with a brown and white hamster named Felix. His brother had a twin hamster named Frances. Soon, the hamsters both escaped, so my dad got a new hampster which he named Kinnikinnick. That hamster also escaped, so my dad got a third hamster called Kinnikinnick 2. Upon hearing this, I bursted out laughing, I couldn’t believe the names that my dad gave them as a child. My father laughed with me as he continued his story. My dad said that the first family pet was a Siberian Husky named Chinook

They are soft and cuddly. If we get one I can get rid of my stuffed animals that I sleep with. It can sleep with me in my bed. I can pet it.

My parents got my dog in 2001, (before both me and my sister were born) so he was like my brother in dog form. We called him Tori instead of Torino most of the time. Tori

We called him Tank. He was just sent to the Fort Myers ASPCA from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was alone and homeless after the Hurricane Katrina destroyed his hope for a future. It was fate that he was meant to be with our family. Seeing all of the good that was done to get my new puppy a forever home struck a place in my heart and made me appreciate all of the awesome work that this organization has done, not only for my dog, Tank, but also for the millions of other animals desperate for a better future. This is why I chose to feature the ASPCA and the many things that they do to make a difference in our world

Franklin D. Roosevelt stated in his second inaugural address that “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.” The Great Depression was the deepest and longest-lasting economic downturn in the history of the Western industrialized world. In the United States, the Great Depression began soon after the stock market crash of October 1929, which sent Wall Street into a panic and wiped out millions of investors. The U.S. could not emerge from the pit of a national crisis without profound social and cultural changes. This era affected people through spending cutbacks and unemployment, but also brought the American people closer to their

I decided to pick my teddy bear as a child. His name's Wally. Wally Wallace actually. The funny thing is originally this bear wasn't mine. It belonged to my brother, Kelvin. If I recall correctly he made it on a field trip his class took to Build a Bear. He had Wally (or whatever name my brother had for him then) and I had my own. I was 4 years old, and was visiting Accra, Ghana with my mom to meet some relatives. I never left the house without my bear. So I brought her along, which happened to be a really bad idea. One minute I had her and as I entered the airport she was gone. Nowhere to be found. My mom helped me look for her, but we had a limited amount of time. We had a flight to catch. I

Topper wagged her way into my nine year-old heart on the porch of my family's new country home. Here, life allowed room for dogs and cats to replace the turtles, parakeets, and gerbils of town.

Milne gave Christopher Robin’s stuffed animals life, portraying them in the “Winnie the Pooh” book series on adventures and thrills. “Pooh” was the main character throughout the books, following other characters such as Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger. The books became best sellers, giving Milne a recognizable name

In the first six chapters, the third-person adult perspective provides extra dimension because some of the characters, especially Tom, are immature, so the third-person adds a sense of adulthood and maturity. The address of Mr. Walters was calm, so that he could get the children's’ attention and they could settle down. Although it was calm, it also had a serious tone. He was introducing the Mayor and his family into St. Petersburg and had to be professional, although he was very excited to have them there. Reverend Sprague’s sermon was also very serious. It was this way because he was preaching in a church to a lot of the people from the town. In churches, there always tends to be a serious tone because religion is important to many and it

I remember when I was little when I got my first pillow pet. I used to see them all the time on commercials. We went camping in Wisconsin, my mom and I went to Walgreens to get something and right in front were pillow pets. I got the dog one because dogs were my favorite animal. Later on, I got this pink leopard pillow pet. Then, I got a Chicago Bulls pillow pet at the United Center. The pillow pets were invented by Jennifer Telfer. (TD Monthly) She invented them in 2003, but they started to be more successful during Christmas season of that same year. Although there are a lot of pillows out there, the pillow pets are fun for kids to play with and are comfortable to sleep with. The pillow pets are comfortable and some are big enough to be used

I wish I could see “Goofy” again! Goofy was my old best friend about 3 years ago. He and I were like Batman and Super Woman. Goofy was his nickname and we called him goofy simply because of his facial features that resembled those of the cartoon character “Goofy.” His actual name was Robert, but he will always be know as Goofy to me. Goofy was the type of kid who you would look in his eyes and see no type of hope for the future. Goofy and I were raised under the same circumstances but he chose another path to take. Goofy and I were made and molded by the struggle around us but instead of seeing such demising circumstances and choosing to try to make it out, Goofy chose to embrace the struggle as his only path in life. I would always look into

Eeyore, bouncy tiger Tigger, kind kangaroo Kanga and her baby Roo along with the wise

We've found the owner!!! I was hoping to see the eyes of little boy or girl light up as I reunited a little tyke with their stuffed animal, but looks like the world threw me--and everyone else--a curve ball! Kate Wearsch, 22 yrs. old sent me a picture of the little guy in her bedroom. She had Poe during her two years of being in and out of hospitals. Kate named him "Poe" because when she says, "Hi Poe!" it sounds like "hippo". When she rolled down the window she didn't know Poe had fallen

My mom said, “Toby is cute when he runs, he looks like a fluff ball.” Toby always runs around the house, and when he comes in he looks like he ran a marathon. Toby hates baths, so he always glares at us when we bathe him.
