Agent Blue

answer. However, a silver lining rose to help pass the time, Blue Hawaii had just come out. Imagine, beaches filled with warm sand and surfers testing out waves in the distance. Not to mention, the perfect sunny days and streets filled with smiling faces. Mary and her best friend Pat longed to see the new movie starring Elvis Presley, but, neither of them could drive. At this point, it seemed like there was no way they would be able to go see Blue Hawaii. How would they ever get through those…

When trying to determine whether someone is an agent, child or not, there are many ways to come to a conclusion. A method that I am a fan of is to define ‘agent’ and then see if the subject will fit the definition. Agent as defined by our text book, is ‘A person who acts freely and knowingly’. Free will is defined by our textbook as “the power of acting without the constraint; the ability to act at one's own will, a gift from God’. In order for this to be true, you must have the ability to make…

"The Matrix" is one of the most commonly known blockbuster films released in the year 1999. Viewers commonly identify it by its fascinating video effects as well as the unreal (yet real in the movie) acts performed in its scenes. The idea which I aim to explore in this essay dwells on the usage of cinematographic elements, the theme of fate and the stylistic use of literary elements within the film as well as in the scene where Neo meets Morpheus. The movie is well known for the advanced…

Orientation Event During the first session, Purple started to share their experience with full time work and the internal battle that they were experiencing on whether or not they should stay in the job. For me it was interesting to see that this one story so clearly resonated with almost every member of the group. Our body language changed. It was like the group was coming together for the first time to rally around Purple so that they could feel like they were not alone in their experience.…

at New York’s Couture’s 1956 Fashion Show! In a riveting, platinum blonde swirl-curled bob, a completely diamond coveted bodysuit, high black meshed stocking, and nothing more, yet nothing less, than Dior’s latest pumps with Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue” orchestrating the walk, I was strutting. (Close scene) Sophia Miy…

affected by the depression, people began staying “home and listening to the radio, instead of spending their money and going to nightclubs” (History of Jazz). In effort to save the jazz music and its popularity, “symbolic relationships” arose between agents and musicians during the creation of the “music business”. Working together with the new music business” came many musicians that influenced the beginning of the “Swing Era”. Benny Goodman and Billie Holiday…

America during the 1950s was introduced to a new type of genre of music, rock and roll, which infiltrated society in either negative or positive way - an issue which is debated by scholars Altschuler and Oakley in Taking Sides. Their positions are controversial, Oakley states and affirms that while rock and roll brought juvenile delinquency up in the American society, it in fact was not a major enough movement to dismantle America’s traditional family. Although on the other hand, Altschuler…

The Pearl of Great Price is an ideal place to learn about agency because it shows us the story of our first brothers and sisters to practice using agency in the flesh, through Adam and Eve’s experience falling from the presence of God and exercising their agency outside the Garden of Eden. Additionally, we learn about how we had agency even before we came to Earth and received our bodies through the knowledge we can gain about our preearth life, and our specific choice to follow our…

Without African music we would not have some of the most popular genres of music that we have today. African music influence helped create genres like jazz, gospel, blues, soul and even hip hop and reggae. The traditional song and dance created by native Africans spread all over the world as its fusion with other type of song helped create the music we all know and love today. The spread of the African music can be traced to the slave trade that shipped Africans all over the world. The one thing…
