Tim Robbins

Tom Robbins, 82, is a hyper-imaginative writer who watches his own life desirously. He writes his books that are unpredictable, wildly entertaining stories with solid social and rationality undercurrents. He 's also a New York Times bestselling writer, wrote eight books since the mid 70 's. His fourth novel, Jitterbug Perfume (1984), starts with four epic stories from past to future, themed around the quest for eternality. It takes us from old Bohemia and the Himalaya Mountains to present day…

Producing a product that is personal and unique to the company that sells it as well as the consumer that purchases it is a fiet on its own. In my opinion, Graeter’s has mastered both concepts. Since Graeter’s opened in 1870 the company has not strayed from it’s initial concept of dense and creamy, handcrafted ice cream made from the freshest ingredients. Thus, for over a hundred years, Graeter’s has produced a product that is personal to the company itself. By maintaining its roots through…

Working a Musical was performed at the Tillie Lewis Theater adapted by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso from the book by Studs Terkel directed by Ashlee Temple. Working a Musical was a play on the American working class which shined light onto the daily lives of the average American worker. It depicted some of the hardships that most of the American public have to endure, but the play also had a few wealthier characters. This play is not about working but rather what America is all about. One of…

Candy is a popular food that most people enjoy. The two top competitors in the candy business are Haribo and Trolli. In the Haribo commercial it takes place at a ice skating rink with hockey players and a coach. They describe the gummy bears using a little kids voice. Then in the Trolli commercial James Harden (basketball player) is at a basketball court and he uses his head to describe the gummy bears. The Haribo and Trolli commercials use pathos, ethos, and logos to help promote their…

Music therapy. A term that has grown so much over the past few decades. As a music therapist in training, when people find out what I’m studying, the common response is “wow, that sounds so interesting, what is it?” I then often struggle to find the words to describe such an amazing concept to people in such few words. The trouble is that “music therapy means different things to different people for myriad reasons” (Bruscia, 1998). The challenge in defining music therapy is that it is the…

Jerome Robbins was known as one of the great choreographers of all time, as a genius, as a friend to the rich and famous (and, indeed, “one of them”: He danced with Lauren Bacall at Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball), as one of the four closeted gay Jewish men who made West Side Story , as a person who enjoyed humiliating young male ballet dancers during rehearsals and referring to some of the female ones with the four-letter word that begins with a “c,” as an informer, and as co-founding…

From the origin of the American musical, a variety of creative teams have developed many methods to popularize now memorable shows. These methods were considered integral in the formula for developing the musical and were later deemed “conventional”. Composers and lyricists throughout the years eventually adapted these conventions and have created some of the most successful shows that are still relevant to this day, including Sweeney Todd and Les Misérables. Some of those inspirational…

this chain competitive. According to Baskin Robbins: Baskin Robbins famously offers 31 flavors of ice cream, which is both its slogan and a great attraction for their customers.

“It is amazing how much you have to do to prove you will treat a dog well, and yet anyone can have a baby.” I will never forget those words my mother said to me the day we were finally allowed to bring our Springer Spaniel puppy home. I was twelve at the time, and even then her words had an impact on me. Reading Wendy’s introduction, those words came to me. I felt angry and sad, how could a mother not want her child? How could a mother tell her seven-year-old daughter to leave and find her real…

One day in June, I can’t quite remember the exact date, but it was June 2015. As I was scrolling down my Facebook newsfeed one particular post caught my attention. The post consisted of a photo heading in big bold, all caps, red letters: BIGBANG 2015 WORLD TOUR [MADE] and underneath read: Los Angeles Staple Center Oct 3, 2015. I couldn’t believe what I was reading that I had to reread a few times. I knew they were on a world tour but there was no news on them coming to the United States. My…
