The Music Of Dolly Parton. Hey everybody how you are doing? Well I know you guys love music and I'm glad to see that you guys made it here to hear my speech. Some of you music lovers say that Kitty Wells and Jean Shepard were the best country singers in the 60’s. (Pause for the audience reaction) they are WRONG while they were on the charts, Dolly Parton was the number one hit. You might be wondering who I am. I am Dolly Parton's sister ~Stella Parton~ This is important for me to talk about because I believe you guys need to know the FACTS. Now! Dolly Parton was born in January 19, 1946. Dolly became famous when she started being a songwriter in 1964. Dolly loved being a songwriter, but she also loved being a singer too and she liked to act as a actor. She decided to keep writing, but not for other people. She started to be a songwriter for herself and sing her own songs. Now you may say, "so what does that have to do what we think". Well one of Dolly Parton's songs she wrote was “9 to 5“, “Say Forever You’ll Be Mine”, “To Daddy” and “Together You And I”. Out of those songs to me “9 to 5” was the best hit, everyone loved it and today people still sing the song. “9 to 5” was originally a song by American country music artist my sister Dolly Parton. Dolly wrote that music piece and also performed it for the 1980 Comedy Film. In addition, it appeared on the film soundtrack. The song was a centerpiece of Dolly's “9 to 5” and “Odd Jobs” album, in late 1980’s. The…

Though they have…

Shut up & Sing is a film directed by Cecilia Peck and Barbara Kopple that tells the story of the Dixie Chicks, a country girl band, and the career changing event that took place.

Nations for their cooperation. (Salomons, 2009) The people of the Stoney Point tribe were promised their land would be returned to them but even long after the war ended and the world moved forward, the land now known as “Camp Ipperwash” was occupied by the government. This is where the situation becomes violent and where I, as a resident of Ipperwash Beach, find myself unsettled and in disbelief. On September 4th 1995, approximately thirty members of the band, accompanied by children, stormed…

Peter Weir’s 1998 film, The Truman Show, explores a variety of themes, but the one that will be followed throughout the paper is simulation and simulacrum, which is seen through the filming techniques.

Truman is better off making the choice to leave the constructed reality because he deserves a life just like any other human being. Christof taking Truman when he was a baby and putting him in this constructed reality was cruel and out of his decision. At the end when Christof was trying to persuade Truman to stay at his constructed reality he made it seem as a utopia place when in reality it isn’t because his whole life was a lie. Christof would have done anything to keep Truman in that…

Hydrangea is a short film that shows the contrast between a perfect life on TV and what actually happens when the cameras are off. Sometimes when we watch a TV show or even a commercial, it can be easy to forget that the people acting on screen aren't the people we're seeing. With every situation fabricated and every reaction scripted and the actors given chance after chance to react perfectly, the audience can see a presentation of reality that simply isn't true. Each actor has a life outside…
