The first thing that I put on my poster was the map. I chose the map because I want to travel the world. There is so much more to the human race than what is in the United States. I want to know about other cultures and learn the ways of them, I want to try new foods and listen to new music. I’ve fallen in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met. The next thing on my poster is the sand and seashells. I am in love with the ocean, I want to be a divemaster after I graduate…

In this paper we will explore the different aspects of each song given to us. This will allow us to break down the beauty within many musical pieces, giving us the chance to explore the deeper meaning of music. The Silk Road Ensemble, is what I would consider to be a unique piece of music. This song immediately caught my…

have been disproportionately represented. Dating back to the 1920s, black women have successfully been “contest[ing], protest[ing], and affirm[ing] working-class ideologies of black womanhood (187)” through the blues. Notable blues singers, such as Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Ida Cox, paved the way for women MCs today to speak out about their experiences of being a black working-class woman. The four categories of women rappers that have emerged are: “Queen Mother,” “Fly Girl,” “Sista with…

Before 2007, if a tension existed between volume and quality, the culture tilted towards maintaining production volumes. We wanted to instill a new culture for employees to solve problems as they arose, eliminate defects, and reduce health and safety incidents even if these actions cost money and decreased short-run production output. tC Carsteen Isensee, 50, became VWB’s CFO in 2007. He had worked in planning and finance throughout his VW career, including joint venture projects in…

All of a sudden trees start swaying and falling down. It was summer in the late 1800’s. One day after eating, Teddy asks his parents, “Can I please play outside?” His mother replied, “Sorry Teddy it’s too hot and it looks like there may be a summer storm coming.” “Uhh, you never let me play outside,” he yelled while he ignored his mom and went out the door.

While Deli wanted to be respected for making the money and working rigidly: “Mah tub of suds is filled yo’ bely with vittles more times than yo’ hands is filled it” (565). Yet, in both stories they get cheated on and the men are unaware that the women are in fact strong; until the end. Rose had her realization when Troy brought home baby Raynell, “This child got a mother. But you a womanless mas” (Act II Scene III 1873 Rose). While for Delia it was over all the abuse and reticule, “She lay…

In the previous quotes, a huge part of dialogue between Delia and Sykes is about white people. “Sykes clearly is Delia's antagonist, but part of the reason he resents her is ‘because her work makes him feel like less than a man. He resents her working for the white folks, washing their dirty laundry, but he does not resent it enough to remove the need for her to do so.’” (Champion 67). Sykes knows that he is below the white folks, unfortunately for the African American people, this was an…

The dancer, Rachel Trotter, were costumed in a purple leotard, ballet skirt, tights, bare feet, and hair pulled back in a ponytail. Trotter performed on the dark bare stage in white “specials” as she pirouettes diagonally from stage left to stage right. During the piece, Trotter would often leap across the floor…
