Ellington, including geographical suites, dances and portraits, and parodies and homages that helped to shape the orchestra’s sound and further its legacy (Giddins 257). He was also able to contribute to many theatrical productions, like Brown and Beige and Beggar’s Holiday, by composing song and many long-form suites (Billy). In addition, he created a re-interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, considered groundbreaking and innovative at the time. Through his many accomplishments, he…

My initial reaction to the story A&P, written by John Updike, was that the narrator was very vivid and expressive when he described the girls. He mentioned “Queenie” had on a “dirty-pink beige top with a little numble all over it,” her straps hanging on her shoulders, and that she had black hair. He stated that other girls think that Queenie is “striking” or “attractive.” (pg. 164) He also talked about the other girl as well, one being “chunky,” with “a bright green two-piece with seams on the…

Lady Gaga’s Born This Way was released on February 2011 as an outlet to empower disenfranchised communities. In this way, the song strongly correlates with sociology. However, in the beginning of the song, it can be seen to relate to anthropology or psychology: Cause you were born this way, baby Lady Gaga suggests that someone is the way they are immediately from birth and that they should embrace this fact. For example, one way of categorizing personalities is the trait of…

were at Walmart that day waiting for her shift to end. As I walked alongside my mom, fascinated by the way her walkie talkie rang with static noises, I thought about what it would be like to work alongside her when I grew up. I pictured myself in the beige Levi pants and the navy blue collared shirts living a simple life. That sounded alright to me. I thought it was a good idea. My mom, on the other hand, did not. As soon as I voiced what I was thinking, my mother took my face in her hands, and…

parallel to the level of stratification (floor cut), the design is much like a circular plate; if the cut is perpendicular (cross cut), you will see the sedimentary stratification of the stone. The color of onyx is rarely uniform. The color is mixed (beige, orange, brown, pink, red, green, blue, yellow) with white by impurities of different chemical composition. Onyx is a structurally unstable material and is often reinforced with artificial supports or with epoxy resin impregnation. It also has…

way that only they did. They would turn the handle and push the door into the frame right before letting go of the handle gently. I never understood why they did that but I was more concerned about the house next door. My tiny fingers perked up the beige blind shutters and I peeked out at the house from my window and knew that the fire was stubborn. No matter how much water the firefighters were spraying on the fire, it would not die down. I could hear whispering but could not make out the…

slaved hours in the heat for labor or athletic reasons. No one thinks that a brown brother can have an extensive background in medicine or maybe that genetics cause ones dark pigmentation. A woman with light skin can catch the boss’ eyes simply by a beige complexion, consequently a darkskinned woman may struggle to keep her foot in the door. Statistics show that dark-skinned blacks in the US have lower socioeconomic status, more punitive relationships with the criminal justice system, diminished…

Once someone walks in the door of the library, they can right away notice the beige creamy walls making the students feel calm and peaceful. The length of the room is wide for everyone to feel content with their privacy. The noise level is quiet as a mouse, which is a perfect environment for students to focus on their schoolwork.…

had transformed from a crisp, cerulean color to an inky, onyx. The stars were diamonds in the sky; there were trillions of them glistening in the jet-black sky. Also, I observed a massive deer prancing majestically through the woods; its stunning beige fur coat attracted my attention. It was a marvelous creature. I realized that the deer was an independent creature that was not in a state of vexation in regards to anything regarding itself. The deer was entirely at ease; I pondered for a moment,…

One aspect of utopia is access to information, independent thought and freedom. Access enables humans to improve and strive closer to utopic perfection. Yet, the pursuit of access is made problematic due to the failure to reach a complete idealized perfection through the creation of inequality, discrimination and entrapment in the process; paving the formation of a seemingly more dystopic societal construct. Tension arises between the push and pull between utopian and dystopian perspectives…
