Perfect Day Research Paper

Decent Essays
My vision of an absolutely perfect day takes place in New York, NY. This day would be a breezy, crisp fall day. It starts off by waking, and getting ready for the exciting day ahead of me. I would take the subway to my rehearsals for “Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway. After I get out of my rehearsal for lunch break, I would go to Tony’s Di Napoli Italian Restaurant. My meal would be composed of scrumptious mushroom ravioli for my entrée, and cherry tartufo for dessert. Subsequently, I would stroll in Central Park a few hours before my “Phantom” performance. Some people absolutely hate the Big Apple. Some say the natives are grouchy, while others say the food is overpriced. I can agree to several of these statements, although, NYC is my dream home. …show more content…
When I go to Central Park afore my Broadway performance, I would lie on the grass, luxuriating in the yellowish-orange leaves. I would listen to serene music, alleviating myself. At five o’clock, I would commute by a taxi to Majestic Theatre, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. As I arrive the theatre at five-fifteen, my dresser greets me, and brings me to the dressing room. My makeup artist does some magic. After that procedure, the hairdresser puts my cap and curly-haired wig. Lastly, I get into my first ensemble, the “Hannibal” costume. After my opening numbers, I would go offstage to change into my bulky hoop dress. When I sing popular hits like “Phantom of the Opera,” and “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,” I look up at the immense, dazzling stage lights. I realize that I am actually performing on the Broadway stage I fantasized about as a child and teenager. It hits me that this is the absolutely flawless day in my

    When we take the time to observe our community and realize the effects of our actions, there is a greater chance people will take action to improve the problem of overconsumption; which is why the Buy Nothing Day is important. It would help spread awareness of the negative effects of overconsumption on working conditions. Due to the high demand for numerous products, companies become more concerned for quick production of goods at low costs, and less concerned for working conditions. This is especially evident in U.S. companies abroad where cheaper labor is available. Foreign workers, working for Nike, Gap, or other American companies, face overbearing pressure to produce large quantities of clothes, shoes, and other products in a short…

    It all started on the morning of September 2nd. The thick, foggy air gave off a somewhat mystifying feel to it. Not in a bad way, but in an adventurous, thrill-seeking way.

    Within this essay, I shall be discussing the rehearsal process of my final major performance of ‘Rent’ the Musical, written by Jonathan Larson. ‘Rent’ the Musical, is a successful, rock-influenced musical, where Larson explores and “follows a young group of young, East Village idealists over the course of a year” (Wollman, 2010, p. 170) set in the 1990’s. Where he was inspired by “Puccini’s La Bohéme…” (Wollman, 2010, p. 170) and “explored the travails of struggling artists, bohemians and drug users in contemporary New York” (Channel, 2014).…

    In the words of Ronald Reagan, one of the most respected US Presidents: “Republicans believe that every day is the fourth of July, but the democrats believe that every day is April 15”. This statement made by him implies that he believes that Republican conservatives believe that every day is the 4th of July which is the celebration of our independence, and Democrats believe that every day is tax day, which is a day where the government can come and seize your property. On that note, I am arguing the fact that we need a republican president to serve the next term. This topic is important because it shows the kind of image that the next president should portray and the mark he or she should leave for the next generation. Our last president…

    The college years are a combination of social and academic challenges or opportunities to find out who you want to be and what you want to do. Barden University has much to offer but their main draw for many new and current students is the prestige of serving as a member of the many acapella groups on campus. In Pitch Perfect, there is fierce competition and embarrassing moments, as well as developing relationships, realizing the power of teamwork and compromise as well as the numerous highs and lows of life. Director Jason Moore (with writer Kay Cannon) did a fabulous job selling the idea that staying true to oneself is possible even with compromise, and that sometimes making small changes to your thinking can have a big impact on your success. Pitch Perfect is about just that, the idea that with hard work and an open mind, a group can find their way in a world calling for modernization while honoring…

    The heat from the stage lights, the watchful gazes of the audience, and the sweat dripping off of our faces as we struggle to remember our lines, these sensations of being on stage are what caused the performing arts to become not only an activity, but also a passion and an unexpected source of personal growth. Through my experiences in drama and music I have been able to discover my own meaning of fulfillment and define who the person behind my appearance truly is. My passion in the performing arts started when I was a young child first learning to play the violin. Picking up the violin at the age of 6, I became stuck on one of the most basic songs for almost a whole year. At that time no one believed that I could play the violin, my teacher thought that I was too hyperactive and even my mom attempted to convince me to quit.…

    Void There are 365 days in a year. There are only 365 days in a year. There will only ever be 365 days in a year. Every time I try to rephrase a sentence it gets progressively more severe; how do I sound less eccentric, how do I tell people what I mean without rambling? I believe that if I get my point across it doesn’t matter in what time frame, if it takes me a year and a half to tell you about the time my dog ran across the road and almost got hit by a car, then it does.…
