A Musical Fable of Broadway
On November 16,2014 I attended my first musical fable of broadway, at the Fox Theater in Redwood City.The Fox Theater presented Guys and Dolls that evening. The musical was choreographed by Adrienne Waiters and Molly Bell. There is about twenty seven performers in the whole production and out of all of them the four main characters are Sarah Brown, Miss
Adelaide,Sky Masterson, and Nathan Detroit.
The musical takes place in New York City, Nathan Detroit runs an illegal crap game and he is in search of a location for the latest game.Luckily he found one location to rent which is the
Biltmore garage.It was offered to rent for 1,000 but Nathan is broke.Therefore, he proposes a bet to Sky Masterson. The bet was for Sky to take Sarah Brown the lady that led the Save­a­Soul
Mission to Havana for dinner.Sky agreed and he gives a deal to Sarah; the deal was for him to bring one dozen sinners to her mission only if she went with him to Havana. Miss Adelaide is
Nathan’s fiancee she has been wanting to marry him for about fourteen years. Sky and Sarah are in love back from there dinner in Havana and all sinners attended the mission.Nathan lost the bet but yet he hosted his last crap game.It was his last because he finally married Miss.Adelaide and promised her he wouldn’t do it again.Sky and Sarah got married the same day as the other couple.Throughout the musical jazz and ballroom were the types of dances they performed.

The scene in the concert that certainly caught my attention was in Act I scene 8,
Havana,Cuba ­ A Dive.When Sky and Sarah were dancing the cha­cha,it caught my attention because I learned that type of dance throughout my childhood which I can’t remember the last time I ever danced the cha­cha .Thats why I really enjoyed seeing and remembering those steps because that was my favorite dance growing up.

The dance scene that impressed me the most was in Act II

    Sons and Lovers

    The Parallels Between Two Families "It is morning again, and she is still here..." These are the words D.H. Lawrence wrote to a friend describing his terminally ill mother in 1913. "I look at my mother and think ‘O Heaven-is this what life brings us to?' You see mother has had a devilish married life, for nearly forty years- and this is the conclusion- no relief." (Baron's Educational Series, 1993). At the time this letter was written Lawrence was fictionalizing his relationship with his mother, as well as the rest of his family, in the novel Sons and Lovers . In the novel the Lawrences would be named the Morels, but though the names are different there are many parallels between Sons and Lovers and Lawrence's own life. These parallels are what make the novel truly autobiographical. However, the strongest evidence of the autobiographical nature of this novel exists in the comparisons between Lawrence and his parents with their fictional counterparts in the book. David Herbert Lawrence was born in 1885, in Eastwood, England. Eastwood is an industrial town, the main industry being coal mining. In the novel, Eastwood becomes the town of Bestwood. As in the novel, Lawrence's family was poor and working class. Lawrence was a sickly child (Croom, 1996). He had bronchitis a mere two weeks after he was born, and lung problems would plague him all his life, eventually developing into repeated bouts of pneumonia which permanently weakened his lungs (Meyers, p. 248). Eventually, it was tuberculosis, which attacked his weakened lungs, that killed him (Moynahan, p. xiii). At that time, one of the few ways for a poor person to better himself was through education. Lawrence's mother Lydia recognized this, and encouraged it in young Lawrence. Lawrence started school at the early age of four, but it proved too much for the child. He was withdrawn from school and did not return until he was seven years old. The fact that he was older than the other children…
