Camp Harmony, written by Monica Shone, tells a story about her life in an internment camp. During World War ll, Japanese Americans had to move into internment camps, they had no choice. The camp that Shone moved into was called Camp Harmony and it was ironic how the name wasn't even close to how the camp really was. "Our home was one room, about eighteen by twenty feet, the size of a living room." (Shone 320)

Hats are customarily used to define a person’s role in society or profession. This poem uses that mantra to depict the different roles that people play, and the different hats they wear to emphasize those roles.
This duo wrote many renowned musical plays, of which the majority share similar themes and ideals. Later in the twentieth century, the show Gypsy was created by Arthur Laurents, Steven Sondheim, and Jule Stein. This new musical shared some of the themes of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, but also diverged from them in some ways. The 1959 musical Gypsy demonstrates the Rodgers and Hammerstein ideals of integration, character development, and strong female characters, but lacks a central love story that many Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals had.

When the police showed up they ended up shooting him ten times ultimately killing him.
In Thomas Carter’s film Save the Last Dance, it serves as a modern adaption to William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The main focus of the film revolved around the difference in race between the two star-crossed lovers, Sara and Derek. Sara came from a town that had a high white population while her new city was highly populated with African Americans. Throughout the film, the two lovers learned to intertwine their differing backgrounds, whether it was their race or their style of dance, to find harmony among the two. By the use of technical and symbolic codes, the film conveyed the message that people’s background does not determine who they are or who they can surround themselves with.

Children are taught by their parents how to behave. Child poem author Shel Silverstein writes about children in several books and poems. In each poem she focuses on a different child setting and conflict. In one poem Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out, she tells the story of a little girl who lacks respect for her parents. Silverstein’s children’s book, Where the Sidewalk Ends is a shining example of the awful, unhealthy message she gives to children because it teaches disrespect, shows children behaving badly, and makes parents look like idiots.
In 1954 J.M.

Robbins had actually previously worked on collating the various versions of the script that had been done through the years, trying, as he said, to “find a way of doing it freshly and less stickily, less cutely, more robustly.” It was West Coast producer Edwin Lester who got the rights in America to adapt the story into a play with music.
