I went to the Minskoff Theatre in New York City expecting to be very bored. I had never been to a Broadway play, and The Lion King probably wouldn’t have been my first pick if left up to me, but my wife had wanted to see it since she was a little girl. When I went to get concessions before the play started, the concession worker asked me if I was excited about the show and when I didn’t seem too enthused she mentioned that the show had been going on for 14 years, so it must be good to keep…

To Live The movie “To Live” explains the life of an average Chinese family through the feudalist Warlord Era, the labor-intensive Great Leap Forward, and the communist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. “To Live” shows how China moved from a feudal system to a communist system during the twentieth century. This family consists of Fugui (the husband), Jiazhen (the wife), Fengxia (the daughter), and Youquing (the son). At the time, China was struggling to unite. This…

In the essay Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work by Jean Anyon, she explores how different social classes influence education. She achieves this by observing five different 5th grade classrooms that she divided into the categories of “Working Class,” “Middle Class,” “Affluence Professional,” and “Executive Elite.” A “Working Class” school is a school that values order and gives the teacher complete control over the students. These classrooms mainly work on copying and rote…

In 1603, William Shakespeare wrote a tragedy called Othello about a Spanish moor that ultimately fell victim to his own skepticism and emotions and murders his wife due to the machinations of Iago. Iago is the most interesting character in this Shakespearean play and actually has more speaking parts than even Othello himself. A man that can even convince his own wife to help with his masterfully manipulated puppetry of Othello, Desdemona, Rodrigo, Cassio, and Emilia is an exquisite character.…

We all know the story of Pinocchio: the wooden puppet who becomes a boy. However, what parts of Pinocchio make him “human” and which parts held him back? Similarly, we find Offred in the beginning of the book as a puppet of the state and carved into their ideal version of a woman. Offred’s story in the book The Handmaid’s Tale, by Margret Atwood, is a story of survival in a harsh world where women are subjugated to the rules and standards of the government in Gilead. With no real identity to…

The other day in class, we watched a video on Youtube. This video was called Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared. This video was about the concept and ideas of creativity. The video started off and looked like a video for children; the happy music and puppet-animation style created a child-like mood. The video had three main characters and a guest; a green bird, yellow kid, and red-stringed man meets talking notepad. The notepad starts to sing a song, and creativity was its topic. The music and mood…

technical expertise. When it came to expert power, we all related to this power at some point in the exercise. I personally possessed this power, as well as the other group members when asked to demonstrate a social work theme and incorporate it in a puppet show. Having the knowledge or information of social work themes allowed us to have the authority of expert power. I believe this power was used consciously because we all had to access the knowledge that we have learned to complete the task.…

development mature make believe play as they move from mastering simple acts of putting on their clothes or brushing their hair to applying these acts to their dolls and stuff animal”, which was what I observed a little girl playing with her dolls and puppets. It is very important to recognize the importance of play in child development both physically and mentally. In schools, instead of reducing play and gym hours, play should be preserved and nurtured as one of the “uniquely preschool”…
