After same sex marriage became legal the amount of same sex ‘families’ increased but that’s because two single men might not be considered a family in society. The play “Cat on a hot tin roof” addresses a lot of these household barriers and that was made decades ago. In that time period (50’s) it was absurd to love someone of the same sex and one could be very mistreated for admitting such a thing. Luckily that is one thing everybody…

a time when new music was gaining popularity. That form of music was known as Tin Pan Alley and it was becoming a success with their different form of writing. Tin Pan Alley songs were based on romance and privacy which was very rare during those times. During that period of time many individuals faced racism and discrimination. With that kind of music around it was capturing the attention of many people. I believe Tin Pan Alley composers wanted people to hear music that gave them a different…

Furthermore, I will mention how the art of the play resonated with me, and what I learned from the play about theatre. Williams’ play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof follows a climactic plot structure with a…

Milan Kundera’s The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is diffuse with, tone, plot, and characters seem to wander all over the map. Gunter Grass’ My Century is constructed in a similar manor. However, both novels carry a strong thematic and emotional content. Kubdera’s shattered, oblique approach to narrative, and Grass’ step-by-step march through the years. This essay will comment on the effectiveness of…

“There’s no place like home.” For my remix analysis I am focusing on the phenomenon that is the Wizard of Oz and how it became the starting point for so many different remixes that are very well know today. First off, the 1939 movie that was directed by a few different directors but in the end was finished being directed by Victor Fleming. This movie, being one of the first movies to use color, brought L. Frank Baum’s vision of Oz to life. Secondly, Wicked, the musical with music by Stephen…

Throughout the movie the Wizard of Oz the Scarecrow would say “if I only had a brain”. However, the Scarecrow didn’t even need a brain; he already had what he wanted. This was shown in multiple scenes of the movie; one being when Dorothy tries to pick apples from the tree. In the movie, the Scarecrow’s smarts are shown by how he gets apples for Dorothy.

L. Frank Baum's, The Wizard of Oz, is very different from the way Disney portrays it. There have been many different versions of the famous writer's work, L. Frank Baum. He is perhaps remembered even…
