Ever since I began my high school career, I’ve been interested in the art of persuasion. In fact, my three favorite clubs are Debate Club, Mock Trial, and Junior States of America. After visiting a wide range of colleges, it is obvious that Emerson is the best choice for honing my skills. Choosing a major in Marketing Communications would allow my ideas to reach a larger audience than what my high school experiences provide. The Honors Program would also keep me academically challenged and help…

childhood. It was about ten years ago, when I was three, when I came to realize that I had to be more careful. Since I was two years old, until I was five, I took dance lessons. At the studio, there were multiple classes for different levels and for different styles of dance; every year every dance class in the studio would get together and have a recital. It was the day of the recital, and I was more than ready to perform. The auditorium chairs couldn’t hold me in, just as I couldn’t hold in my…

American attendance began to decline do to the simple fact of Independent filmmakers. Once independent filmmakers where allowed the right to show their films, a whole category of competition began stir the melting pot in the post War era. Hollywood had to actually try to be creative with the work they threw out to people. Hollywood production companies were so used to being on the top of the world with no competition. Films were just being shot out to the world with no thoughts or creativity.…

It’s not fair to get forced to buy food at the movies! I think you should be able to bring your own food to the movie theater. People are getting kicked out of movie theaters all over, just because they are bringing their own food! This is what I think about it. You save a lot more money if you bring your own snacks. You could get a giant bag of pretzels for the same price as 1 pretzel at the movies. One bag of popcorn could be $5.00 at the movie theater and only $2.00 for a box of popcorn at…
