    How Did Katherine Dunham Contribute To Dance

    The dancer I have chosen is Katherine Dunham. Mrs. Dunham born June 22, 1909, to an African American father and French Canadian mother. She was born in Chicago Illinois. She performed many styles of dance. One style she's famous for is going back to her roots and taking black culture and making it acceptable to all. Other styles she contributed too were folk and ethnic. Choreography. One big contribution Mrs. Dunham contributed was making African American and Caribbean culture beautiful to all. At a time when very, few African American's had a chance at "commercial success" she gave them hope. At this time, dance in America was very vague for the African American women, especially not when accepting your own heritage and culture. She changed…

    Life

    I think that these events foreshadowed Okonkwo’s and the Ibo tribe’s demise because every single one of the events affected Okonkwo negatively and led to some of change in his life. It starts with Okonkwo’s father being a bum in the tribe and neglecting his responsibility to his family. His death was also degrading because his body was thrown in the forbidden forest and Okonkwo always worked towards not becoming someone like him. However, at the end Okonkwo’s “burial” is the same and he becomes the failure he tried to avoid. He considered himself a failure because he was unable to rid the tribe of the colonists because he could see that the culture was diminishing but he failed to bring the tribe to fight after his exile. He was exiled because he killed a boy at the wedding which he was invited to after he killed Ikemefuna so that he could clear his mind with a distraction. Overall, every event led to something which foreshadowed Okonkwo’s demise as well as the tribe’s.…

    Personal Narrative: If I Went To New Orleans

    We were on our way to Biloxi, Mississippi when we decided to go to New Orleans to start our vacation off. We arrived in New Orleans at around nine o’clock in the morning after driving for sixteen hours. We immediately stopped and got something to eat. After we finished we were back on the road. We walked around New Orleans for three or four hours. On the way we saw numerous things. We stopped a couple of shops, went to see the Gulf of Mexico, and eventually got something to drink. It was ninety-five degrees outside and I thought I was going to die if I didn’t drink something. It was one of those get-me-out-of-here moments. New Orleans overall was very interesting and it was a great way to start our vacation.…

    The Devastating Tragedy Of Hurricane Katrina

    Hurricane Katrina was a devastating tragedy that changed the lives of many for worse. New Orleans was not prepared for the magnitude of such a disaster that would impact not only the city, but the people forever. The federal system was slow to evacuate people and did not emphasize the potential severity of the storm. In all “... Hurricane Katrina killed nearly 2,000 people and affected some 90,000 square miles of the United States”(Later). People did not expect for Katrina to be this deadly in thinking so they did not leave their homes and as a result many of them died. The Morial Convention Center was only capable of hosting a couple of thousands of people leaving the rest of the city to fend for themselves. Up to “tens of thousands of people…

    The Damage Of Hurricane Katrina

    On August 23, 2005, Katrina was formed merely as a tropical storm that the people of the United States thought wouldn’t do any damage. On August 28, 2005, cities in southern Louisiana and Mississippi started to demand a mandatory evacuation, but numerous people were stranded with no form of transportation or anywhere to go. Thousands were left waiting to see if Katrina would really strike as the weather stations had predicted. “That day, the National Weather Service predicted that after the storm hit, ‘most of the [Gulf Coast] area will be uninhabitable for weeks…perhaps longer’” (History.com 1). “For example, some 112,000 of New Orleans’ nearly 500,000 people did not have access to a car” (History.com 1). “By nightfall, almost 80 percent of…

    Sociology in Everyday Life

    One central and important study of sociology is the study of everyday social life. Everyday life and sociology are definitely two distinct terms and situations, but they hold a close relationship. While sociology studies human interaction, everyday life consists of everyday human interaction. Everyday life is filled by human beings interacting with one another, institutions, ideas, and emotions. Sociology studies the interactions with all of these and shows how mere interaction resulted in things like ideas and institutions.…

    Me and My Teenage Life

    My religious education has influenced my life in a really big way. My religious education has influenced my sports, family, and everyday life as a teenager. It all started when my mom became my religion teacher from the start of middle school, up until I graduated from middle school. My mom taught me everything about religion I know today. Religion has influenced my life through wrestling at Desales. Before every match I pray, and ask God to help me accomplished what I want to accomplish on the mat. Religion is one of the biggest aspects of my life. Religion has been the biggest part of my life to. What I have learned in all my religion classes, mainly my middle school religion class is about life lessons. I have learned how to accomplish things, achieve things, and what to do in certain situations from taking religion for so long. I have taken a religion class every year since I was in the second grade. I go on retreats each year as a student at desales. Freshman year the class went to the Flaget center. I experienced many things on this retreat, but mainly it was about meeting my class mates, and learning how to fit in at desales. Sophomore year we went to the Jefferson Memorial Forest. When we were at the forest, there was a huge 70 foot tall jungle gym tower. At this retreat we learned that we need to help our peers climb the tower. We also learned that we need to try to find the strength in ourselves to climb the tower. Junior year we spent the night at the retreat center called Cross Roads. At these retreat we helped recovering addicts, older people, poor people, and refugee immigrants. This was probably my favorite retreat so far, because I love to help people and make people…
