Tony Frenchu And Melanie Bratsch's Song 'S Wonderful'

The Vietnam War was an event with lasting effects. The U.S. troops participated from 1961 until 1975 where over 58,000 Americans were killed according to the U.S Department of Veteran Affairs. This war created a divide amongst the American people with so many opposed to the war because they claim that the cost of war and casualties was too high. Many believed, in addition, that the U.S. should not have involved themselves because the war did not directly affect America. For these reasons and many more, it caused a lot of traumas; not only for veterans but even regular citizens. Due to this, when U.S. involvement with the Iraq War started in 2003 (Riedel), many began drawing parallels between it and the Vietnam War and Anna Quindlen was among them.Anna Quindlen, an opinion columnist with a Pulitzer prize for commentary, wrote an article titled “We’ve Been Here Before.” Her overall goal, in this article, is to convince the reader that the Vietnam and Iraq War are alike as well as catastrophic. Her argument that the two wars are alike is erroneous in nature since there are many significant differences to be listed. Quindlen lacks reputable evidence because she lets her emotions write the article so she spews out personal attacks; there is a clear tone of anger. She accuses the president of wanting the Iraq War to only be about policy without backing this stance and she uses her friend’s statements to support her argument though he isn’t an expert on the matter. Quindlen makes a few good points in the article

When I saw Hairspray the Musical there were three things that I noticed that were important in making the theatrical performance. Those three things were the acting, production, and how the actors made us, the audience, feel. Each of these things contribute greatly to any performance. I feel that this production of Hairspray hit each of these notes very well.

Suggesting that no one is really special because nothing is truly permanent, in her 2011 essay “Song for the Special” writer Marina Keegan explores the many reasons as to why individuals of every generation seem to find themselves unique, looking at how even at a young age children are exposed to the idea that everyone can make a difference, and then abandons that ideal by revealing the truth that there are so many people on the planet that being “special” is nearly impossible. Her purpose is to reveal just how tiny one individual actually is in the colossal network of the impermanent present day in order to invalidate people’s need to feel special when there is a good chance they may never accomplish anything in the grand scheme of things.

Ava Buras played the role of Annie Cannon. She was my favorite actress because she had the best emotion and was absolutely perfect for that role. Sarah Dean played the role Henrietta Leavitt and she portrayed it amazingly. She used her emotions to sell the character and she accomplished that. Jessie Duplantis played the role of Williamina Fleming and she also did amazing. She used hand gestures and face to portray this character perfectly. Katie Kitchen played the role of Margaret Leavitt and she had the best facial expressions. In my opinion she had the very best emotions and I think this because I really felt like I was actually watching real life. As a whole, all the characters did an amazing job and they all had very good emotions.

They really played up the stakes they were given; especially the Baker and his wife. Their urgency to need to lift the curse off of them was played up and caused the audience to relate to their needs. Julia Wilkinson’s portrayal of the Witch was outstanding, not only did I feel fully emersied in the world she had created with her performance. Her singing ability made her part in “Prologue” memorable and made me excited for the rest of the production. I also felt like Chase Guthrie’s performance as the Baker was on par with Julia’s. Not only was his character funny and a sense of comic relief; but in the moments of pain Chase really made the audience believe him and empathize with him. He seemed fully given over to the character which made the highs in the plot higher and the lows even more heartbreaking. I however I felt as though some of supporting cast took away from the performance. It was apparent that the director and cast decided to play the supporting characters in a more comedic way; which for the most part was great and gave a lighter tone to more intense pats, but sometimes caused it to come off as surface level performances. For the most part I felt as though the performances were outstanding throughout and only the added ill-timed comedy took away from the

Their costumes were amazing very realistic and funny, again love their creativity, especially how they added little bits of modern comedy and the narration was great. When the audience had the break and coming back in their setup was still great everything was perfect nothing falling or hanging off. As well as the switching of lights in the beginning middle and end it was beautiful and smooth.

In everyday life, everyone experiences racism. Whether it is a humorous racial stereotype joke or to something offensive like asking how Asians can see or asking an Asian person if he or she is Chinese. What we need to remember is that no one is born racist. Racism is either taught or learned. The definition of the term race that was created socially which signifies and symbolizes social conflicts and interests by referring to different types of human bodies. The definition of race is how we use it. For example the label “white” instead of using Caucasian. Racism still exists today because is how we distinguish people by their pigment of the skin.

The acting and singing was well done. Especially the singing, which was catchy and groovy.

All of the actors in Miracle are cast appropriately. Each and every one lived up to the

     The Friday, January 29 performance that I attended contained many extraordinary performances, especially that of Frederic, Mabel, the Major-General Stanley and the Pirate King. Although the entire cast was good, these performances stood out the most.

Our time is up far exceeded my expectations. It was funny and heartwarming all in a short amount of time.

Jacquelin Romero Katrina Van Tassel's has a spoiled life, is a pretty blooming lass, and she needs a hero. The first song on Katrina’s playlist is “Spoiled Girl” by Carly Simon. In Legend of Sleepy Hollow it says that, “She wore the ornaments of pure yellow gold,”(33), which indicate her wealth. The song “Spoiled Girl” displays how a young lady desires many things. Katrina, throughout the story, had many expectations as an only child.

Nonetheless, excellent performances ensued, naturally (shout-out to Dominic Zamprogna, A.K.A. Dante). My personal favorites were from West and Wright. Ava 's tortured breakdown on 10/11 after hearing Morgan died was the stuff of soap dreams and West 's innate passion was the perfect ingredient for it. Mascara covered tears fell down her face, as guilt-ridden flashes of her removing the pills seesawed with memories of their tawdry love affair, causing her to obliviously drop her martini glass. She sobs while picking up the shards, realizing she 's involved in killing the only man she 's loved since being in PC. Overtaken, she flings the pieces and screams, "What have I done?!!" She bumps into Bobbie the next day, who asks if she ever truly loved Morgan. Ava replies "Yeah, I loved him...very much. There was a time when he was the only one who saw good in me at all. Now I suppose anyone who ever did (veiled reference to Nikolas?) is gone," and dashes off to crumble on the elevator. Carly 's bouts of rage were everything (I can 't come up with a suitable adjective, so we 'll go with "everything"). On 10/12, Sonny got it about Julian 's hit. Before smashing a childhood photo of Morgan, she fumed, "...A bomb blew him up. You couldn 't help yourself could you? You had to be the one to finish Julian. And now...our beautiful little boy is dead, and you killed him!!" An Emmy reel

Each year, as many incoming freshman prepare for college, their ideas of what it will be like stem from a variety of college-centered movies. In Krista M.Tucciarone’s “Cinematic College”, themes that give an unrealistic expectation of college are analyzed. These themes of male and female relationships, campus destruction, and pranks differ from the themes of social issues found in Pitch Perfect. Upon analysis of Pitch Perfect, directed by Jason Moore, I found that characters socialized by making jokes about sensitive subjects: gender roles, race, and sexual orientation.

Thank You for Smoking is a movie that revolved around how particular word choice-diction can be. Nick Naylor is the VP of the Academy of Tobacco Studies for a company called Big Tobacco, a smoking company. Being the representative he can persuade, convince, or discredit anyone or anything by his speech. First, before anything else, George Orwell in his novel 1984 develops this idea for doublethink, which is essentially doublespeak, but in your mind. In this novel, "Big Brother" knows everything you're thinking, and to think anything against Big Brother, you are considered a rebel and they will torture you and maybe even kill you. Throughout this book, on every corner there are posters of Big Brother that say "Big Brother is watching you." This
