People might use music to dance, or enjoy it, on the other hand Andy and Anita both connect the music and relate to every single word of the…
Some people have the opportunity and easier access to make the American dream a reality, for others it remains just a dream. A dream that is deferred by many obstacles and such. Larry Hughes poem, a dream deferred describes this situation. In Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun, the Younger family each have dreams that they want to fulfill but is disrupted because of family selfishness and family issues. Each character had different dreams of their own. Big Walter, Walter Lee, and Mama Younger and the effects of their dreams on the family’s morale. Hughes uses a metaphor of a raisin to describe neglected hopes and dreams, which in turn is reflected in Hansberry’s exanple of the Younger family and their greed to fulfill the American…

For my MLK activity, I watched the famous “I have a dream” speech, “But if not” speech, and read articles about Martin Luther King’s life and his career as a clergyman, activist and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement.

Has the American dream changed from what it used to be in the 1960's? In the 1960's the American dream was gaining equal rights for women and people of minority races. During that time Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King jr. gave a speech simply stating that people who have been neglected rights that were clearly stated in the Declaration of Independence saying, "that all men are created equal..." The very act of taking away rights from men of color and women in general goes against that declaration. Women rights activist Carrie Chapman Catt played a key role in the passing of the 19th amendment that allowed women the right to vote. Now today with the passing of the 19th amendment and the civil rights movement the American dream has changed…
Elvis Presley was not only the “King of Rock and Roll”, but could also be said as the king of his time period. “He brought together American music from both sides of the color line and performed it with a natural hip-swiveling sexuality that made him a teen idol and a role model for generations of cool rebels.” (Pareles 438). Elvis Presley made a huge difference in the music world. There is no quesion about it. “Teens related positively to his sexiness, especially the suggestive way he swiveled his hips as he sang.” (Rubel 772). To make a difference is to make someone else’s life change greatly. Elvis changed all of music. He made rock and roll come alive. Along the way, Elvis had plenty of influences and great stories which made the amazing career he had come to a beginning. Elvis Presley sang rock and roll like no one ever had before.…
The most important message of A New Kind of Dreaming is that everyone needs someone to relate to. Do you agree?…
Preparing and presenting for this scene not only deepened my understanding about this section but moreover it created understanding of the play. In preparation my character, Walter, was analyzed deeply. I found quotes describing not only the way he acted, but what he looked and sounded like. By digging deeper I was able to become Walter and understand the way he thought and acted. This preparation work made the scene easier to understand because I could almost feel Walters joy when there was the knock on the door by Bobo when he was expecting great news about the fortune he was about to obtain. I could also understand his frustration when Bobo presented the awful information about Willie disappearing, Walter had his life staked on this deal,…
He wanted to depict simple scenes of how people could meet each other and what they could discuss. Some films would be of just one actor, smoking or eating, because people go to the movies usually to see the star. They were very raw versions of film. Andy wasn’t doing experimental film; he was really experimenting with people and the way they behaved as a character. Warhol enjoyed making movies that had no script, especially no plot because if it had a plot and you have seen it once, then you wouldn’t want to watch it again because you already know the ending. But if it is just a conversation between two people, then you can catch things you missed the first time. A major theme in all of Andy’s work is that he enjoys seeing the same image or scene over and over again. He has been called boring because he likes the same things but whether it’s in his prints or films, you can catch something new and different that you may have noticed the first time you saw them and it might evoke a different feeling upon seeing it again (Andy. The subjects of his movies were unlike those being made in the present day. They were really quite simple. What he created promoted the consumer’s interests, he created for himself but the public fell in…
