soon unfold. Is it right for someone to change the meaning of a thing you created, or is it right for you to express yourself by doing so? With that sense, when an artist copyrights their work, is the idea of their work protected under law? In 1989 Arturo Di Modica created Charging Bull amid a economic recession (NY Times).

The year is 1977 in El Salvador, a time of deep public and political unrest, where injustices are high among the people and there exists a great divide between the rich and the poor, it is during this time that the Vatican elevated Oscar Romero to the position of Arch Bishop of San Salvador. Romero is elevated in hopes that with his quite, passive demurer and diminishing health that he would accept the status quo and not cause a military dispute; however, much to everyone’s surprise, Romero became

about the play; it does not necessarily tell them the message of the play ‒ that is up to the viewer to decide.

He had a resolute intent to do what is right, true, and just, which made him the Archbishop that people remember and make movies about.

Justice in "Romero" The influential and gripping film, " Romero", directed by John Duigan, portrays the life and death of Archbishop Oscar Romero. The movie shows the world through the eyes of the El Salvadorian people during the 1980's, when poverty and military rule flourished over the people. The country of El Salvador was run by an elite group of few who controlled most of the power and money, leaving the majority of the people deprived and powerless. This imbalance in the social system left

This phenomenon was replicated at the University of Michigan’s SMTD performance of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, written by Bertolt Brecht. This play told the story of the rise of gangster Arturo Ui and the corruption of the cauliflower business in order to satirize the rise of Hitler. Despite this being a play, rather than a musical, the use of Copland’s “planes of listening” still apply. Theater-goers can still view the work with different approaches- either purely surface level, meaning-driven

He then went back home to Italy to retire in 1923 but he was invited to teach at La Scala (this was his lifelong dream) by Arturo Toscanini. Enrico Cecchetti was 78 when he was teaching a class and then collapsed. Later that day on November 13, 1928 he had passed away.
