The Full Monty

Yorktown versus Denbigh It was my junior year of high school, I had just woken up. Unfortunately, I saw a baby blue room when I opened up my eyes instead of the off white walls I had grown so accustomed to. Getting up, taking a shower, and finding something to eat before shoving off to the school bus at the other end of the road was commonplace. The ride to school was as quiet as one would expect a school bus to be. The group in the back was being loud and obnoxious whiles the people up front, where

Gatsby in the book The Great Gatsby was both a hero and a corrupt individual. Gatsby looked over the harbor and saw the green light, making him a hero. He was corrupt because he planned to go meet Wolfshiem, for the business lunch in. Some people wonder why Gatsby is such a bad individual, which is what I will be trying to explain in the next few paragraphs. Thank you for your patients and please enjoy. Gatsby showed that he was a hero many times throughout this novel. But I really couldn’t find

and old, male and female all wanted to get a photo or autograph from Sims, and she was more than happy to accommodate every request. Countless groups of young children – particularly young girls – sat in the seats and on the grass in front of the Monty Porter stand to watch on a team of women that they can call their heroes now that the women’s game is on centre stage for all to see. There are advertisments on bus shelters and billboards all across Sydney promoting the Women’s Rugby League World

“Choose your future. Choose life.” This week, audiences will once again hear the famous mantra to the 1996 cult-classic, “Trainspotting,” in its new sequel, “T2 Trainspotting.” The delivery of those last lines from Ewan McGregor’s opening monologue was a moment that will live on forever in film. The words illuminated the understated, emotional punch that the frenetic, thinly-veiled comedy delivered more than 20 years ago. An adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel, “Trainspotting” told the story of

In a test of strength, success, dedication and power these men battle what it means to gain triumph in a society that has negative perceptions of black masculinity. In both plays Topdog/Underdog and Detroit 67, the main black men of each play express means of claiming “territories” whether it’s business, women, hustle, or family. With Topdog/Underdog, Lincoln and Booth both fulfill stereotypes of black masculinity when competing with one another for the position of alpha on top. In Detroit 67, the

The famous but also infamous General of the 7th Army General George S. Patton would help lead the Allies to a victory in Europe on the Western Front. The way General Patton would lead his army would help him become a good soldier, strike fear into his enemies, and he had ended up being harsh leader. Patton was a good soldier because he had wanted to always win the battle so he had strived to be the best he could. Patton was able to strike fear into his enemies because he and his army were one of

“It’s not fear it’s excitement.” Slowly the pit in my stomach became an adrenaline rush. I heard my cue and stepped on stage. Yes, I am in theater, or I was, but I wouldn’t consider myself a “theater person.” Sure, I enjoy classic movie nights of Monty Python, Spinal Tap, Mel Brooks and Donnie Darko. I enjoy my theater friends, and I enjoy theater itself along with all the other humanities, but I’m not very dramatic. In fact, I spend most of my life trying NOT to be reactive or dramatic. And, I don’t

The No Translation, Translation Dilemma: What to do When Items Don't Translate Science and math have an advantage when it comes to translation. Most of the signs, symbols, and lexeme associated with these fields are relatively universal. Other fields, especially the arts, are not nearly so fortunate. Translation becomes increasingly difficult if literary elements such as meter, verse, or rhyming are included in the source text, or if there are specific sounds associated with a culture.

“V for Vendetta" is a movie about freedom, about human struggle against the state, the government of the sacrifice of a symbol. V for Vendetta was born from the successful combination of a sudden, seemingly incongruous things: out of the comic’s conventions and the anti-globalization pathos. I think this movie is a combination of the of Lewis Carroll’s abstract absurdity and George Orwell’s totalitarian nightmare. Alice meets with Hitler. Evey dressed up and went out on a date, but instead of rabbit
