The Partridge Family

It was great that she was in the film. Shirley Jones plays my mom--it's incredible. So no, we don't have any scenes together. Growing up, it was her and Julie Andrews when I was little--oh my gosh! Oklahoma! and Carousel--that was the Shirley Jones I really loved, the musical theater Shirley Jones. Of course, Partridge Family, but it was those characters. When I sat down and talked to her, it was like, "Oh my gosh!" I wish that I had had the chance to work with her, but at least I got to meet with her and talk with her. We would talk in the make-up trailer and go on and on and on. She's just an icon. Yes, and I'm with you as far as the musicals go. I think the first thing I saw her in was Music Man. Then I saw Oklahoma! later. So then it was many years later when I heard about and watched Partridge Family. I had missed that show 'cause I grew up on all the musicals since I was a music person. {pause} Well, maybe they'll bring Shirley Jones back for a film, and you can be with her in another film. I hope so. And that's the great thing about Hallmark. They have really great casts. They're getting a lot of really talented actors, and so I can only…

parts; happy or stressed. When I say happy, it's more or less how one would appear if in a good mode. Having a spring in their step. Remember the Brady Bunch characters? They were all nauseously like that. The iconic family show would be in my estimation how Barry learned that. When I say stressed, it's uptight. In one scene he's dialing a cell phone. Imagine doing so using all your fingers. Looking like a spider is coming down for the kill.I looked at my wife and said; he's not calling anyone…

The people in our lives play an important role in our personal growth. Relationships with others allow us to understand and see ourselves more clearly. In Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, Sal is able to accept her mother’s death through the influence of Mrs. Partridge and Gram and Gramps. Sal is impacted and changed by her relationship with Mrs. Partridge; the mysterious woman was the person providing the messages left in front of the Winterbottom home. In one message she wrote,”In a course of a…

gorilla, so absolutely the student applying for the job is panicked and screams for help. In other words the student was choked up and cursing for mankind to come to the rescue. These lines give us a basic summary of the actions the student took once applying for the job. “ “Ishmael is a gorilla who can telepathically teach about the culture of leavers and taker, dies while part of a circus sideshow. The Narrator spent most of life searching for a teacher to help him save the world, can be…

previously thought she would not be able to make it this Christmas, arrived. After the customary series of hurrahs and salutations, karaoke continued, and she frantically handed out boxes from the tote bags at her feet. You know how this ends. It lecherously stared up at me from the white Macy’s gift box in all of its white, wooly splendor, as if to say, sultrily, “Hey Tiger, long time no see. I yearn to envelop your neck within my restrictive billows.” The next day, I tried it on. I had to give…

The researchers bathed the lambs in artificial amniotic fluid with electrolytes, connected to an oxygenator. Only one animal lived 108 hours with complications. This was not enough Over the months with the help of surgeon Emily Partridge and fetal physiologist Marcus Davey, they experimented again. This time, they used non circulating artificial amniotic fluid and in a sealed system. Also they used a pumpless circuit which oxygenated the blood of the lambs. It was connected to the fetus lamb…

American Society have sensed changed from the Leave it to Beaver, nuclear family of the 1950s and sixties. From the suburban household with a husband at work, wife at home and their children, playing in the front yard. Brought upon many changes in the past couple of years to the staple of the nuclear family. Yet the traditional family still survives today, only to integrate and become a category among the varied families that now shape the new American society. This melting pot of families has…

another, how our families are formed, and what classrooms look like today. I believe more behaviors are endorsing gender norms than challenging them. Language is something we learn at a very young age, what we do not learn is that it is filled with gendered biased words that have become second nature for us, as humans, to use. Other languages have masculine and feminine nouns to help indicate the difference in words, the English language not so much,…

just prior to my birth. As a result, I was raised with an English cultural background. However, due to the similarities between Australian and English culture, stemming from the colonisation of Australia by the British in 1788 (Moreton-Robinson, 2003), English culture and its role in colonisation means that it is the dominant and privileged culture in current Australian society (Moreton-Robinson, 2003). Therefore, it is hard for me to identify any cultural differences. Consequently, I began to…

For many years our government has not been able to accommodate for the needs of millions of foster children in our nation. Simply our leadership has failed to construct a system that provides nurturing home for the children that have been abused or abandoned. Andy fights his way through the system, attempting to create a name for himself other than a foster child. He undertakes lots of agony as he placed in a foster home with a family named the Leonard’s. At the Leonard’s house there was several…
