Live Performance Paper #2 My second live performance paper was done at the same place as the first paper‚ Tate Street Coffee on Tate Street on Thursday December 4th. I know that we are suppose to go to a different venue‚ but I ran out of time and I was happy to see that the musicians that were performing that night were different than the first time I attended. With that being said‚ Tate Street Coffee is a very small venue tucked in to the middle of a very busy area on UNCG’s campus. I got there

Two major themes in Of mice and Men - foreshadowed by the reference to Burns’ mouse within the title - are loneliness and dreams. These two conflicting themes interlock: it is apparent that people who are lonely have the greatest need of dreams to help them through. This is particularly evident within the cases of George and Lennie and Curley’s wife

hardly realistic; he thinks of nature as full of fluffy and cute playthings. He has no notion of the darkness in the natural world‚ the competition and the cruelty. He wouldn’t have the faintest notion how to feed himself without George. In this too the men balance each other: George sees the world through suspicious eyes.

They long to live the American Dream but they‚ like all the other workers‚ will never reach their dream that seems to be just beyond their fingertips.

I heard a lot of talk about how these activists were entitled‚ lazy‚ and selfish. It was around this time I began to understand politics as well‚ and began to comprehend what was meant by terms like “liberal” and “socialist”. I started to agree with what Johnny Oleksinski meant in his article written this year “I’m a millennial and my generation sucks” when he said “Millennials are the worst. I should know — I am one.” (Oleksinski). Now maybe the reason the
