There is much to say John Hughes' marvelously crafted Sixteen Candles. Hughes' interpretation of what it's like to grow up a teenager trying to find themselves is impeccable. In this comedic, blissful coming-of-age film, the story follows Samantha Baker-- or Sam as she is most often called-- as she navigates through her sixteenth birthday; everyone forgot this very important day in Sam's life. This movie truly has it all: annoying little siblings, misunderstood teenagers, an older sister who sucks

To what extent did Katsushika Hokusai's art influence the works of Ando Hiroshige and what was its significance on Japanese art? Introduction: The raw power of nature has always been inspirational to artists all around the world. Art is associated to what we experience on a daily basis, however it represents some kind of transformation to the everyday, to something that is not actually entirely real, it can’t be found by simply locating it, it requires human intervention. Art maybe seen as

The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai is an important piece in the history of Japanese art because it illustrates how native Japanese aesthetics and beliefs continue to thrive in its own art, despite new, foreign influences and changing trends in what is deemed as beautiful. Similar to many other landscape woodblock prints, it demonstrates an influence from the west with its ability to produce a sense of realism, space, and depth. Such an influence, however, does not dominate over the

I read Make Lemonade (1993) by Virginia Euwer Wolff, and I viewed the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986). This project was an exploration of the similarities among and the feelings of adolescents in different settings, having varied experiences and through time. Many young adults, including me, perceive themselves and others in a negative fashion. Both Make Lemonade and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off examine the ideas of young adults overcoming challenges and changing their mindsets. In Make Lemonade

The Breakfast Club Noah Lane Ivy Tech Community College Abstract This paper is why everyone should watch The Breakfast Club. It tells a story of four teenagers battling with rebellion, drama, and love. Most critics will argue that it is not realistic, and no teenager is like that.

Lou Anne Johnson is a pop culture teacher played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the movie Dangerous Minds. Dangerous Minds was definitely a Hollywood movie, but still had some important character ideas serving relevance to what 21st century educators should still resemble today. The premise of the movie depicts that inner city schools often have students who are behind, (not exclusively, but primarily minorities), but with true passion, understanding, compassionate effort, these students can rise to astonishing

Everyone knows the iconic movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – the epitome of adolescent rebellion and independence – the benchmark of free-spirited insubordination that lies in the heart of all teenagers. Sure, the movie depicts skipping school as nothing more than a harmless and fun pastime, something that is enjoyable due in large part to its riskiness. But essentially it documents the day of a truant. A truant whose wild antics entertain, but a truant nonetheless. Like most things, Hollywood’s characterization

The Sneak I scamper through the 16th row in the bleachers at Progressive Field, Ohio. I trip over many feet and get shoved to the bottom of the stairs and then turn to make my way to the bathrooms under the scoreboard. I am looking for Jake who told me that he was going to be by the front entrance by the gates. I am currently at Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. This game is one of the most intense games ever in the sport of baseball. The Cubs have not won a world series in 108 years and the Indians

The Great Wave off Kanagawa was produced somewhere between 1830 and 1833, by Japanese Katsushika Hokusai, a painter, and a woodblock artist printer. Since he was a woodblock artist printer, there were between 5000-8000 original prints of this picture, although there are only about a few hundred remaining to this day. In the painting, you can see massive waves crashing into small ships. In the background, you can see Mt. Fuji, although it looks like another wave, you can tell it’s a mountain because
