Stephanie S. Tolan, the author of Surviving the Applewhites, could have chosen any musical for the applewhites to do but she chose for them to do The Sound of Music as a musical because of how the theme and family compares to the movie. The Von Trapp family had lots of order in the beginning, weren’t allowed to have fun, and had lots of rules. This was very different to the Applewhites who had very little order, respected each other's creativity, and didn’t have many rules at all.

Because the employer fired Elaine after her…

Whenever Apple comes out with new product people are filled with a strong desire to want to know what was made they scramble to stores to buy its latest gadget (Eadicicco, 2014).

In an interview after the courts ruling, The EEOC General Counsel, David Lopez stated, "We were extremely pleased with the Supreme Court ruling in our favor, which has reinforced our longstanding efforts to enforce Title VII's prohibition against religious discrimination," The EEOC continues to protect individuals against discrimination from employers, by investigating the accusations and trying to settle the charges.
