I walked with stiff pie-encrusted legs. I was on my way to work from McKinley high school. The scene of the crime, where the miniature cherry pie took flight from Jessica Rabanne's lunch tray (and landed on my favorite jeans) to even further deepen my hatred for that lip-gloss-wearing beast.

George, Elaine, Jerry, and Kramer are engaged in a friendship held together by a complete lack of empathy. By refusing to be romantic, Seinfeld enabled itself to become a comedy of manners (39). This narrative route allowed the show to focus on life’s minute details,…

The copyrighted visual work I have chosen to infringe is the logo for the National Basketball Association. It represents the men’s professional basketball team in North America for a total amount 30 teams, which doesn’t include the women teams at all. America’s basketball association doesn’t exclude women teams to an extremity but there are some concerns. These concerns are the reason why I am trying to come as close as possible to infringing the NBA logo. The following concerns are why do the…

Walt Disney and his eponymous company have been juggernauts in the entertainment industry for over half a century, and as such have solidified their place in American culture. In fact, Disney’s characters have become just as iconic as the founding fathers themselves. Americans often like to idolize iconic figures and Disney characters are certainly no exception.

Naturally (due both to the close proximity to the Civil Rights movement, and to the setting of Virginia), this was a highly controversial change that was met with opposition both externally from the…

Tom, why can't you just read and study instead of going around the neighborhood instead of going with me?“ “I like Halloween. It’s fascinating isn't it, Jerry?“ Tom asked. “It sure is!“ Jerry exclaims. Then, they kept talking until… “Hey, where are we?“ Brandon says. “I don't know, but I see a house nearby. We can ask for directions,“ Tom told them. They rushed to the front porch of the house. “It…

famous works. A prevalent motif in American literature and movements is that of the animal. Two exceptional examples of pieces that use animal motifs successfully are, Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston and The Yippie Manifesto, by Jerry Rubin. In both of these compositions, animals appear as meaningful motifs, in order to bolster a scene or movement's emotional weight and significance and to provide the audience with connections to the outside world. In Hurston’s Their Eyes…
