Hamilton Extra Credit Assignment There is a vast array of things that I have learned through watching this film; from the writing‚ production‚ casting‚ and ultimately making it to Broadway let alone succeeding on Broadway. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s idea for creating Hamilton stems from an autobiography he read about Alexander Hamilton while on vacation. Flash forward to 2009‚ Miranda sings only one song that has been written for Hamilton when performing at the White House. Motivation and the creative

Instead‚ the prominent theme is simply life as a boy growing

After watching the “Lottery”‚ I was extremely in awe of how people treat charter schools. I myself never had the opportunity to attend a charter school‚ but I do never thought people felt so strong about them. The PTA were against a school system that could help better educate their children. Looking at the way the parents reacted was heart breaking.
