The IT Crowd

Brett Elderedge, had just finished performing and Keith Urban would soon come on. The crowd also became aware of this and shouts of “Keith” began filling the stadium. The stage lights illuminated through the sky in different spectrums of colors. This was the moment I’ve been waiting for. The night was becoming darker as the sun eased closer to the horizon. The roaring of an electric guitar filled the air. The crowd went silent as Keith Urban walked up onto the stage. Cheers so loud boomed…

she says “you really couldn’t get me out of this?” and her father goes on to mention how she got in trouble for skipping school to go shopping. Right off the bat you realize that she is “popular” according to Milner’s chapter, in the section “some crowds and their rankings.” She was also wearing dressy clothing, and in a BMW with her father which explains Milner’s sections of “money and status symbols”, and “phones, backpacks, and cars.” Next, it shows Brian, pull up in the car with his mom, she…

my teammates to arrive to the game. Coach Tom, coincidentally also my brother's name, supplied the team with brand new jerseys. As tip-off came closer and closer, the nervous feeling in my stomach grew incredibly. Imagining the booming roar of the crowd made me even more anxious. Tons of people were packed tight like a can of sardines(eww!) into the…

much, but when it is time for their children to grow their wings and fly away, the constant support dwindles. It is tough being the smart kid, the one who sticks out from the crowd. Parents do not always notice this; they give their unconditional support, but they forget how hard it can be sometimes to stick out in a crowd. A passage from The Scalpel and the Silver Bear, “Walking a Path Between Worlds”, Lori Arviso Alvord expands on this feeling- the one the parents do not even think about.…

consists of six people in total, that do many activities together (p.158). Because the film takes place in a high school there are a lot of crowds that are made visible at parties or large gatherings at someone’s house (p. 159; Lesson 6). Charlie begins to contextualize his crowd as less popular as he is surprised when Brad, who is part of the popular crowd comes to one of his crowd’s parties (Lesson 6). When Charlie sees Brad,…

Septimus reaches out for help and vocalizes his intent to kill himself amongst a crowd of people and the only one to bat an eye at the remark is his wife Lucrezia, who already cares deeply for him. Conversely to Lucrezia’s sympathy, the crowd just stands in “veneration” of the car as it strolls away (16). The lack of reaction from the crowd shows a fundamental apathy within modern people and highlights the societal neglect for the troubles of other humans. The…

Goldstein touched base on a variety of issues in his article. He made great points in regard to the police force, undocumented immigrants, society, and activist anthropology. For instance, as for the police force; he told in great detail of his experience with them. He even mentions how he now understands why some individuals dislike the police force because of his experience with them. The arrival of the first police car in the article is described as the most intense moment of the display of…

Standing underneath the Friday night lights is always nerve-wracking, but this time it was even more so than normal. It was the first time I have ever performed on the football field as a majorette; which is a very big accomplishment for me. As the drum major calls the band to attention, I pose and try to calm myself down. When the band starts playing, I start performing, but the thing is that it was nothing like doing during practice. This time I was not even thinking. Every move was strictly…

were trying to get into the school, couldn’t get in. A force of 150 guardsmen were assembled and placed to assist the police at Central but they weren’t called on. The Arkansas National Guard’s actions were actually applauded by some people in the crowd. The superintendent of Little Rock Schools, Virgil Blossom, said, “I have nothing but praise for the Guardsmen and the manner in which they performed a trying job under difficult circumstances.” Ten days later in a meeting with president with…

Theodore Roosevelt. He was the 26th president of the United States and is known as one of the best. Today is actually just my first day as a tour guide, so go easy on me! (laughs nervously) Let’s see who’s on the tour today! (museum curator looks through crowd of people) Oh wow what a variety! We have a group of children on a field trip, a few families, a couple...hello! What’s your names? Couple: *silence* Museum curator: (laughs nervously)... ok! Well let’s just get the tour started! Right…
