West Side Story 1. Point out how the general setting of the play is established. Give at least two examples. The play West Side Story takes place in a suburb on the West Side of New York City. We can conclude that we are talking about a socially disadvantaged suburb as the surrounding area is described with high brick walls, not very attractive and by the presence of the two gangs – the Jets and the Sharks. We are also able to say in which time period the actions take place. As an
‘West Side Story’ is one of the most famous musicals in Broadway history. It is a re-telling and more modern remake of Shakespeare's ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ The same love story is there, just a more modern take on it.

Arthur Laurents is the author of the original book with the setting taking place in the upper west side New York city in a blue-collar neighborhood during the mid-1950s.

West Side Story is about a conflict between two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, which comes to a head when Tony, a former Jets member, and Maria, the sister of the leader of the Sharks, fall in love. Although the play centers around Tony and Maria, the character of Anita (played by Karli Dinardo) caught my eye since she revealed her purple dress which was different from the reds of the Sharks and blues of the Jets and I found myself drawn to her in each scene she was present in. I also found

1. Video “Here Be Dragons” by Brian Dunning (5/14/18) Brian Dunning does a great job informing the viewers about the red flags. The one that sticks out personally to me is Appeal to Authority, Ancient Wisdom, and Red Herring. Appeal to Authority consist of giving credibility based on a degree and schooling. For instance, someone in a white such as a doctor; people will assume since they are educated they know what they are talking about but they are not always right. Ancient Wisdom is a big NO!
The CBS reboot of the popular action-comedy film series “Rush Hour” premiered yesterday amidst much speculation and anticipation. So, detectives Lee and Carter are back, but the creators have given them some makeover to suit the taste and sensibilities of the contemporary audience and it is a good move as per sources.

In any case, Corin hits each and every
