INTRODUCTION: Poker is very enticing; it captures the essence of a fun card game, the curiosity of your deal versus others, the desire to win and get the jackpot, and the necessary component, a poker face. A poker face is a figure of speech alluding to the ability to place an emotionless mask over-top one’s face. This is a necessary part of poker as it allows people to see only what you wish for them to see; a straight face gives the other players no indication of winning or losing deals. At the

The definition of manhood is “The transition from a boy to a Man,” but is really what mahood means to men? Throughout the text the idea of being a man is a large role in Walter’s decisions and actions. Some may argue that Walter is not a man, yet some may argue that he is. The author, Lorraine Hansberry, has not put this topic in for no reason. Walter is very insecure about his manhood throughout the story and his mother even tries to give his manhood to him. The only thing that Mama does when she

Musical theatre performance, which presents fictional plots and impresses audiences with show-stopping dance and song, unites dramatic works across the globe. American musical theatre, specifically, draws inspiration from European straight plays, burlesques, and operas, while dramatizing American topics. Nineteenth-century musical comedies use entertaining situations, rather than plot, to frame performances involving song, dance, and humor. For example, George M. Cohan’s works, although inspired

In the Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller and The Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, Willy Loman and Walter Younger are very much alike.

That is just a couple of things that Willy Loman an Walter Younger have in common. One thing that Willy and Walter have in common is that they both need to make money to take

Lies and deceptions are the reason that King Lear is considered a tragedy story. Both families are destroyed by the family members themselves. Both King Lear’s family and the family of Earl of Gloucester are destroyed in very similar events. The main-plot of the play has King Lear and his three daughters Regan, Goneril, and Cordelia. The sub-plot however, has Gloucester and his two sons Edger and Edmund. Lear the dumb king, wanting to feel some affection, gives his daughters a love-test to measure

The Watsons Go To Birmingham—1963 This summary is about a family whose last name is Watson. The members of this family are Wilona (the mom), Daniel (the dad), Byron (the older brother), Kenny (the younger brother), and Joey or Joetta (the sister).

It’s not easy releasing an album that reaches platinum status. Actually, it is downright difficult even for the most accomplished music artists. Most often the poor sales are just due to “bad music”. But, sometimes there are albums that are overlooked because they didn’t quite measure up to other music introduced at the same time. Here are 5 albums that just didn’t quite make the cut, but might be worth adding to your collection. just_whitney_cddvd_import-18523390-frntl 1. Just Whitney-Whitney

Written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the story of “Young Goodman Brown” is a dark tale written in the form of an allegory. To understand this short story, one must assume everything has a hidden meaning. On the surface, this story is about a man who ventures into the woods outside his village where he encounters a pagan ritual. Upon close reading, one discovers the story has a deeper purpose—its examination of religious beliefs. “Young Goodman Brown” symbolizes religious, seemingly moral people and their

I viewed Diahann Carroll’s performance of a heartfelt love song, “The Music That Makes Me Dance” from Funny Girl. The song is written by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill. Carroll’s recording was made in 1968, four years after the role of Fanny Brice had been made famous by Barbra Streisand. I view Carroll as a confident artist for putting this song out into the world after such a groundbreaking, well known performance of it circulated. All of this being said, her performance was spectacular and showed

I had always anticipated what my future would hold. The thought of never living up to my dreams gave me aches in my stomach. My mother did not play a positive role during my childhood, I don’t believe she ever intended on being a role model for her children. I could not tolerate the thought of becoming like her. I did not ever want to depend on someone else to support me. The year of 2010 I graduated with my senior class; that moment I threw my cap up in the air, I knew I was headed towards an adventure

Heroes in Medieval times were the men who fought wars to save their kingdom from the enemy. They were worshipped by their king, and received gifts such as treasure and land.

So many didn’t consider working up into a higher class. In present time, however, rules have changed. Heroes don’t have to be knights protecting their kingdom anymore

These two bands, Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens, have a vast amount of differences between them. They also have a good amount of similarities between them. Even though with their great differences, both can still qualify, in my opinion, as wonderful bands. First off, Pierce the Veil was formed in 2006 in San Diego, California by brothers, Vic and Mike Fuentes. A year later, Pierce the Veil achieved four members. Now, the band consisted of Vic (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards and

Erin Hanson: Reassurance in Flaws The name Erin Hanson is one many have not heard. The young poets ideas spread confidence, self love, and acceptance. Her young age allows her to connect with her audience in ways many her fellow poets can not. For example in her poem non-officially titled “People are not poetry” Hanson covers the many struggles of being human. However; instead of focusing on the negative, she turns the spotlight on accepting what makes each one of us different. This interesting
