Dirty Dancing

The tangy sea breeze of the early morning filled the room with the aroma of salt and fish. As Debbie woke up she looked at the sea blue curtains on the right side of the room, the sun shining through made it resemble a waterfall. Just above the bed on the ceiling, a beautiful mermaid with sunny blonde hair swam above her. An orange starfish smiled over her shoulder. This was her safe haven and waking up in her room at her dad’s shore house always made her smile. Her grandmother had worked hard…

whom are seen cleaning up the theater after a screening. Avery, a 20-year-old bespectacled boy, is clearly a new hire and loves movies. Sam, a 35-year-old bald white man, is an experienced employee and is seen teaching Avery how to clean up after the dirty patrons…

It is move-in day for the Youngers. Ruth shows Beneatha the curtains she has brought for the house. Ruth tells Beneatha that the first things Ruth is going to do is take a long bath in the new house. Walter walk in and starts dancing with Ruth. Beneatha teases them and they joined in. A middle aged man named Karl Lindner appears at the door. He is a representative from the Clybourne Park. He tells the Youngers that there problems with them moving in. He tells the Youngers that…

including her attackers Chiron and Demetrius dancing around her in the mud and mocking her, perhaps the most disturbing is the fact that she has been put on display for anyone to find. When Marcus comes upon her (starting at 1:06:45), the camera pans from him to a wide shot of Lavinia alone, standing on a stump in an open field, as if put on a pedestal. As he moves closer, and we switch to the camera’s gaze, we see more clearly that she wears a dirty white slip, that her hands have been cut off…

During the 1950s, fraught with the paranoia of communism and the tensions of the Cold War, there were a number of novels published, but one that stands out amongst the others is Lord of the Flies, authored by William Golding. Golding, an Englishman who worked as a school teacher and author, served in the Royal Navy during World War II (), and witnessed the rise of autocracy, communism and totalitarian dictatorships in Europe in his lifetime, and seemingly much of his views on society and…

We can deduct from this example that God has every right to give you moments of great victory and humiliation in the same physical location. While he was living like a refugee, he penned two of the Psalms. Psalm 34 is a reminder to praise God and thank him for his deliverance. Though David's antics were questionable, he nevertheless did give God the praise for his deliverance and wrote a song concerning it. Psalm 56 was the second song written while running away from Saul. It encourages the…

The seductress/dark lady considered by Ramirez Berg as the female Latin lover was originally played by the beautiful Dolores Del Rio (Pg.76).

Del Rio was born Durango, Mexico and came from a Spanish-Basque heritage. Hollywood already at an early age had established what they felt was a universal representation of all…

When the white settlers first came to America they were looking for gold and a better life. They were not the first habitants of the land. The Natives, who were there first, in many cases help the settlers by showing them how to hunt, how to survive the weather, showing them new types of crops like corn, squash, potatoes, use plants as medicine. The natives and the white settlers lived around each other and even adopt some of each other cultures. The Choctaws, Chickasaws, Cherokees, Creeks and…

Frida Kahlo “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best” (Kahlo). This quote sums up entirely why Frida Kahlo was the best artist to choose because many can identify so much with her and the feelings that she displayed to the world. Though many didn’t go through the events that she did in her childhood or anywhere in her lifestyle, people still do feel connected to her ideas, her thoughts, and also her art which made it a little easier to choose two…

At one point, while Lila had been staring into space, letting the music fill her senses, it shifted into a quieter, softer song, and she snapped her head to the pitiful dance floor in the corner of the bar, where the patrons stopped their wild dancing and slowed it down, moving into each other, arms around waists, around shoulders. She looked particularly at one couple who were kissing as they swayed back and forth. Their smiles looked forced…
