Purple Rain

Roberts. One of the main reasons was when I first read this question, she was the first actress to pop in my mind and I usually like to go with my gut instincts. I also did further research on her and found that she has done a Broadway play Three Days of Rain, for which she was praised so I feel confident in casting her as Jocasta. As Laius, I would cast Gary Oldman, because he is a versatile actor. I think he has some strong personality traits to portray the role of a former king. Lastly, as…

I 'm Still Pissed Off About the Oscars A funny thing happened on the way to the Academy Awards, A.K.A. the Oscars, in 2007. After early screenings with journalists and one at the Cannes festival, DreamGirls was widely deemed an Oscar frontrunner. It went on to be ranked 4th on the American Film Institute 's Best of 2006 list and won 3 out of 5 Golden Globes, including Best Picture-Comedy or Musical, Best Supporting Actor (Murphy) and Best Supporting Actress (Hudson). It also received nods and…

photosensitivity or differences in juvenility is required for the different climatic zones so that pod ripening coincides with the end of the rainy season in a given zone, regardless of planting date, which is often inconsistent due to the variable onset of rains in the various climatic zones (Steele and Mehra 1980). This will allow pods to escape damage from excessive moisture and pathogens, which can affect the…

first introduced to the audience. Whether the costume designer, Raven Ong, intended this or not, it is exciting to see that the colors of the three sisters represented their personality. Arlene Bozich, who played Goneril, was wearing a purple dress. This deep dark purple represents that Goneril is a confident character who craves power and nobility. Within the scenes, Bozich represented these colors with her dynamic attitude and utter desire to take her character’s father’s position. Natalia…

Palestinian American literary theorist and cultural critic Edward Said has written that “ Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” In “The Poisonwood Bible” Nathan Price the father of the price family has exiled himself from his family which creates a rift in this family which eventually separates the whole…

crumble and bright, multicolored, sugary gummy worms. For the last few years I was a recreational counselor for Henderson Recreation. Working outside, rain or shine, in the intense humidity and heat. My main job was coming up with fun crafts for the kids. One day was tie-dying shirts, which I ended up staining my legs and arms deep blue and purple for a week, and the next making reindeer hats. Art is an important factor in my life. Without my first art class I don 't think I would be the person…

hadn’t been so determined to make the others accept me and my words, I could’ve spent more time trying to sort things out beforehand. I could’ve prevented the entire massacre from occurring even before it began. The Texas morning was humid with slight rain. The sky was more gray than blue and the sun was hidden behind the heavy, thick clouds, no doubt the weather would get worse during the day. Most of the sparsely populated town was still…

One Perception Check Later A light rain comes to a stop as I walk up the slick driveway of my friend Aaron’s house. I push on the white, waterlogged, wooden fence gate to the backyard and stand just thirty feet from the open garage door. The backyard consists of two halves: the concrete path with a hutch housing rabbits and a grass yard with a brown, stone fire pit. A constant air of music plays from the wind chimes that hang from a vine-covered terrace separating the two areas. We take the…

Gradell’s bedroom, undetected and silent. Mrs Gradell was still sleeping as soundly as ever, and the words inched towards her, and disappeared inside her ear. A minute later, there was an almighty crack that shook the ceiling and caused spots of dust to rain down into the…

Survivor: Scared White Family Edition There’s a running tradition in my family. Every summer we go to Lake George, NY for a few days. Lake George is the birthplace of some of my most treasured memories with my family. My most treasured, and I must say most traumatizing, memory was the hike of our 2013 trip. This hike had my uncle going on about it hiking on a scenic trail in the mountains with a gorgeous view near where we were staying There’s a running tradition in my family. Every summer we…
