Although the play was intense and amazing from start to finish, a few moments dazzled all of the other audience members and myself. In what was known by many as “The Star Scene”, lighting was again used to the director’s advantage when they projected different age-old star systems upon all of the 3 cycloramas. By giving us a more telling insight into what Christopher’s imagination is like, the audience can also imagine the scene more – as it has been marked spectacularly. This further helps us…

Our family tradition of Saturday movie night is led by my brother and I, each choosing the designated movie every other week, usually that one. We would play the film on a computer while eating ice cream kept cold by the freezer in our house and previously Safeway. Two hours later, my brother and I would trudge off to bed and turn on the AC in the summer or the heater in the winter. Everything that I did,…

It appears that Picard demonstrated the view of Emergentism and Maddox views the Dualism theory. According to Hasker (1983), in reference to Emergentism, “the human mind…

The concepts we use shape the conclusions we reach because the concepts we use are the routes we take to where we get. The route an individual takes will ultimately and completely determine the conclusion that person reaches. The routes we take and the conclusions we reach are one hundred percent dependant on each other, taking one route of thought will get you to a completely different mental conclusion than another. This led me to an important discovery of self-knowledge. By claiming that…

Usually new restaurants are disorganized, employees have no idea what they are supposed to do, and the managers are frequently unsure of their business structures as well. I was not expecting too much, but since it was a restaurant a friend of my host parents recommended I was hoping for a good experience. From…

Two hours before he ventured before more than 6,000 fans at the Greek Theater, the ex-Beatle, not exactly a week short of his 76th birthday, respected a guest into his changing area as he loose in a seat, dressed monochromatically in a smooth dark coat, thin dark pants, coordinating T-shirt and sneakers. "The visit is incredible," he said of his most recent All-Starr Band, which wrapped a 21-show 2016 U.S. visit show with the…
