A Study of Perspectives Livingston's documentary Paris is Burning inspired an awareness of being that I had not previously experienced. The film urges the spectator to reevaluate not only one's breadth of knowledge of the black gay culture in the 80's, but also the perspectives from which one views the film. Personally speaking, the easiest evaluation of the latter topic would be the perspective of a privileged white straight female born into a sheltered and socially traditional household. This

“Ay, Ernie. This isn’t your kitchen.” “I’m cookin’ ain’t I? As far as I’m concerned, that makes this my kitchen. Now, get outta here.” Just then, Ernie noticed CC and I watching. He walked over and hugged CC. “Cierra, so good to see you again.” He turned to me, extended his hand, and said, “Hello, I’m Uncle Ernie.” “I’m Catherine.” I did not say much else. So much was going on around me, and there were so many strange people; I felt much more comfortable as an observer. Thankfully, Aunt

Many courageous people emerged from the shadows during World War II, it was a time of much sorrow and terror, yet heros were found all over. Ernie Pyle, a simple reporter that traversed the United States writing short 1,000 word articles ended up making a decision that changed how reportering was done and how it was viewed. He was the first ever embedded journalist that wrote about the lives of simple soldiers and showed how no matter your rank or where you're positioned, you have the ability to

know all of their admirers, they can serve as an inspiration for many of their followers. For some, the connection with a star may be forged at a very young age; that was the case with me. Since I can remember, I have looked up to Ernie Banks. The success story of Ernie Banks, which resulted in him going down in history as one of the best to ever play the game of baseball, was improbable. However, his impressive accomplishments on the field are not what inspire me. Banks’ ability to overcome adversity

Ernie Davis was born into poverty in Uniontown, a Pennsylvania coal mining town in 1939, before moving to Elmira, New York at the age of 12. Once in Elmira, Davis played halfback/running back for Elmira Free Academy. He was so quick and well-conditioned; he was nicknamed the Elmira Express. The movie "Express" is a true story based on the life of Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), a football player who fought for equality and respect during the late 1950's when there was a great deal of turbulence and the

Should college athletes get paid more money?      There has been a constant debate the past few years on whether college athletes, particularly football players, should get paid. In 1988, the Nebraska legislature passed a bill that would allow the University of Nebraska football players to receive better cash incentives. The bill was later vetoed by Governor Kay Orr, who was governor of Nebraska at the time (O’Toole etal. 2). . The dispute comes from coaches, parents of the

Created just a century or so later than the Pseudo- Apollodorus accounts in the Bibliotheca 2, this mosaic titled “Heracles & the Nemean Lion” was created in the third century C.E. Located in the National Archeological Museum of Spain, neither the catalog number for the museum or the Beazley Archive number are given. More than 700 years had passed since the creation of figures 1-4, and the story is still the same. Although in this mosaic, Heracles is standing up and strangling the lion, not on the

Watching everyone walk up to the 18th green, after hitting a beautiful approach shot on the green five feet from the pin. Watching him make the putt for the birdie and the victory, celebrating, and getting awarded the coveted green jacket. This is the scene of the Masters on the final day of play. Recently the world of golf has changed, all of the greatest golfers, have been displaying qualities that have been very similar to each other. One thing that is necessary to be a great golfer is hitting

they are not taken serious. Either that or the adults scold their children for being so reckless and irresponsible. ”Ernie Breaks” is the story of a young girl named Cara, whom also suffers under that. As the story inexplicitly conveys, the main theme is exactly about the horrors of losing yourself in these responsibilities and expectations. She and her brother Jed gets a turtle, Ernie to take care of and the mother uses it as a way to see if they are responsible enough. It seems they were not quite

Ernie Pyle’s War Synopsis As with many other countries at the time, America’s ranks during WWII were filled with what many would describe as “the common man”: men from farmlands, small towns and big cities. As detailed in James Tobin’s Ernie Pyle’s War detailed, there was no man more respected and trusted to accurately portray what these men went through than the war correspondent Ernie Pyle. Pyle’s upbringing in the Midwest, his unassuming “aw shucks” demeanor, and pre-war experiences touring the
