Theatre owners‚ may lend a show money in order to keep it running. Lincoln Center Theatre‚ Roundabout Theatre Company‚ and Manhattan Theatre Club are the

The television show “Roots”‚ a miniseries airing in the late Seventies‚ provided gripping and emotional insight into the lives of a fictional family victimized by slavery. This controversial project attempted to depict some semblance of the horrific history of the American black community in a way that the primarily white population would willingly consume.

sources: The Castle‚ Kath & Kim and 48 shades. These all have a fairly accurate view on what it’s like in Australia (mostly Logan)‚ although some skits are a little far fetched. In each show they have their own kind of representation‚ The castle represents the racism‚ Kath and Kim represent the bogan image and “48 shades” shows us the wild side of it all. There are many things we could focus on in “The Castle” but I’d like to take a look at racism. Now‚ we know that there is in fact a foreigner there

I love watching sitcoms. From the newest season of ‘Ugly Betty’‚ ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’‚ ‘That 70’s Show’‚ to ‘Scrubs’. I love watching them all.

Emily Dickinson’s poem “It Sifts from Leaden Sieves” at first glance appears to be a simple riddle‚ with the obvious answer being snow. As is typical of Dickinson’s poetry‚ there is much to be found within for contemplation and her profound perspective of nature‚ life‚ and the human condition shines forth. Written in simple‚ mostly monosyllabic words and with a masterful use of poetic devices she produces some powerful themes within the beautiful imagery. Though the words are simple and the poem

Show me the money By Semran Thamer The histogram that shows the salaries of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2009 shows data that is skewed right. There are two major outliers which are‚ $13‚100‚000‚ and $12‚367‚500‚ which are unusual because they are of a much higher amount than what is usually earned by the rest of the team. The bulk of the data lies in amounts that range from $300‚000 to $1‚000‚000. The shape of the data represents a bell curve‚ because most of the salaries are less than $1‚000
