A musical film is a genre of film that consists of songs as well as dialogue. This type of film became popular in the 1930’s and is around today. Musical films started being created when the technology of sound became advanced enough to put music in a film. Musicals that would normally be performed on a stage in a theater could then be made into a film.

I had a feeling that I was about to go on a magical journey and Mr. Robison was my Willy Wonka or the “Cat in the Hat”. The author did not disappoint. He manages to temper despair with a touch of comic relief and tells his stories of anger, want, pride and joy with honesty. I read three-quarters of the novel that first day. Mr.…

My dad was a heroin addict and Mom was a rage addict. Everyday there…

I was not incredibly surprised when I learned that Matt’s “real” name was John Doe, and his friends were named Johnny Appleseed, Peter Pan, Willy Wonka, and Nigel Thornberry. Equally unsurprising was when each of their identification numbers started with a nine, when all University of Connecticut identification numbers begin with either a one or a two. At this point, there was nothing more that…
