Carousel

J.D Salinger’s biggest request was to never make his literature a part of the meaningless hollywood world. He gave his readers hints in the book Catcher in the Rye“If there’s one thing I hate, it’s the movies," he writes. "Don’t even mention them to me.” this turned out to be very true because films are far from the truth and cliche. Scott Imad and Chris disobeyed Salingers request by creating a spectacular film that accurately depicts the book. The scenes we chose stood out the most in the…

his clothes at the train station and he needed to go get them. Finally, Holden misses Allie, his dead brother, all the time, and he wants to tell Phoebe about what he went through at Pencey Prep and he takes her to the Zoo and she rides the carousel and Holden watches her and cries, because this was a true example of innocence. At the end of The Catcher In The Rye, Holden says, “If you want to know the truth, I don’t know what I think about it. All I know is, I sort of miss everybody I…

for some reason her mind was set on looking for a yellow brick road to lead her out of a never-ending maze, and getting away from creepy-looking creatures. She looked around and saw her stuffed animals lining the shelves, with framed paintings of carousel horses hanging on the pastel-pink walls. She sighed in relief, taking in that everything was just a dream, and she was back safely in her room. Mikan got out of her bed, sinking her bare feet in the fluffy pink rug, and walked to her…

Traveling during the holidays can be hectic; and flying is no exception. WestJet airlines decided to do something different in 2013 for their passengers. They wanted to show their guest that they truly value them and go above and beyond customer service and give their customers a “Christmas Miracle”. The video shows passengers talking to Santa on at a kiosk station telling them what they wanted for Christmas. Requests ranged from a big screen TV to socks and underwear. Once the passengers…

Entry 1 I pull my red hunting hat over my crew cut. I wedge a cigarette between my lips. While I look out from the Thomsen Hill onto the football field. Most sixteen year olds are at the football game with a pretty girl on their arm while I’m walking down to old man Spencer’s house. I finally get to their street and knock on the door. It’s a pretty lengthy hour, so when Mrs. Spencer opened up the door she was in her nightgown and all. She greeted me kindly and escorted me into the study where…

want to preserve our virility in a museum, and see where the ducks go once they’ve entered the winters of concreteness. But, we could look at this through the tender eyes of Phoebe Caulfield, wearing her blue coat, in a cyclical movement on the carousel, voyaging between innocence and corruption. Keeping an equilibrium, and knowing that everything will be safe in adulthood. I’ve chosen to theorize with Phoebe, in my old raincoat, going around and around. Going from awareness to innocence…

In today’s society, musical theatre takes a huge part in giving both entertainment and excitement to people as they give different experiences to the audience compared to when watching a film. Musical Theatre is a performance where there is a combination of acting, singing and dancing which allows people to adapt and re-create famous films or plays like “Les Misérables” through the creative combination of all three elements of musical theatre.

When I was little(mostly while living in Southern Illinois), we owned what would now be considered a dinosaur of a computer. I loved that computer, and I would play videogames constantly. We had Pandora’s Box(a puzzle game) and Riddle of the Sphinx(My mom is the only one who has figured out at least some of the mystery). Some Call of Duty-esque games (that I somehow understood and liked to play when I was three) and, ironically, Candyland(which I still play today even though it originally came…

another half an hour to scan my ticket and go through security. I shudder glancing at those who didn’t pre-buy their ticket, forced to wait in that line too. Nevertheless, I finally breach Six Flags, gaining passage to the gurgling fountain and the carousel song, drawing in children and parents alike with images of uninhibited and serene…
