From this part, I could think this might Gloria Serna felt while she protested. Social situation Serna faced might make her feel depressed and she and her brothers and sisters might have anger to unfair social

She learns that in New York, people are quick to exclude those who resemble any sort of dissimilarity to themselves. When she gets lost and tries asking strangers for help, she notes that, “...a lot of them kept on walking, shaking their heads; those who did stop didn’t look at you first. They gazed off down the block, their faces closed. But as soon as they realized you weren’t trying to hustle them or panhandle money, they warmed right up” (Walls 246). This demonstrates how the many homeless men and women that reside on the streets are almost always ignored and avoided.

She stood up for what she believed was a racist joke because it was.

Throughout history, mental illness has been labeled as a defining deformity, that harnesses in its “victims,” into a box, parallel to the familiar “mime in a box” image. In a world where we glorify “normality,” a lack of illness, which by all means is a gift, the beauty of one mind takes away from the beauty of an outlier, even though, ironically people may not even recognize their differences. Hester, at a glance suffers from a literal scarlet letter, but an imprint on her brain may exist as well. Irrational actions, sudden emotional episodes, and destructive thoughts can only prevail for so long following sin; Hester’s persona has branches of self-defeating personality disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. No one of her time, however, will bring the issue to light, Hester will be left known as the mistress, a witch, or “A,” rather than to explore her “complicated” condition. As decades pass, Hester’s state will remain, as the “A,” the mark of the stigma on mental illness today. When left neglected, society rejects the possibility that under a visible coating, mental deformities may lie; those who are divergent, who require affection more, are made subordinate, marginalized with no quest for a cure.

She used her novella Anthem as a warning to those who read it to be wary of how often they allow themselves to be used as a supporting crutch for another person to use. Society as a whole should learn to promote self-preservation and praise others for being independent

“The Fisher King” is a complex movie that follows a narcissistic radio host named Jack Lucas and a homeless man named Parry. Throughout the movie, I frequently felt overwhelmed by the complex nature of both Jack and Parry’s behavior. Although their behaviors are very different, both characters are complex individual’s that are often tough to follow. The movie portrays Jack’s narcissistic personality disorder, as well as depression and illustrates the tolling effect depression has on an individual, especially after feeling on top of the world. Additionally, the movie illustrates Parry’s PTSD and schizophrenia as an utterly chaotic, overwhelming and delusional existence.

She also said that when lunch was two bags of cornflakes an apple, they would throw the bag hard enough to bruise the fruit, which was unnecessarily rude. One thing she said that was pretty heartbreaking was, “as if I could preserve some dignity, I didn’t eat what hit the floor. As if I had some power, I wouldn’t pick up what they would drop, at least initially, solitary shrinks a person with helplessness,”. She then gave an example how one time the guard threw her tray, causing gravy and vegetables to spill on the floor and for once she actually picked up three peas from the “muck” but was then mortified by behavior no one else would ever see. It comes to show that no human should every go through something like that, whatever the situation may be.

When I hear the word Rent, I immediately see an eclectic Broadway production, overflowing with talent, adventure, and magic. I picture scantly clad actresses, strutting across the stage. I envision stunning duets and thought-provoking lyrics. That single word transports me to a different time and place.

The Soloist on its part is a film that is based upon the true story of Nathaniel Ayers, a musician who suffers from schizophrenia and Steve Lopez, journalist for the Los Angeles Times, who befriended Ayers amid concerns of the severe and debilitating signs and symptoms associated with the mental condition (The Soloist). With its concept based in real life story, this film provides a remarkable opportunity to review the

Annie Hall, an American romantic comedy released in 1977 retells the story of a man named Alvy Singer (portrayed by Woody Allen) and his attempt at comprehending why his relationship with Annie Hall failed. Annie Hall incorporates many cinematic techniques into its story which help solidify its place regularly on lists of best comedies (Snider). It uses conflict, different types of narratives and a classic three act structure. The movie beautifully conveys a story in New York in which one really feels the characters are actual citizens and not actors (Barsam 166).

First of all, I decided to watch the movie Rent, which was based on Jonathan Larson’s Pulizer and his Tony award-winning musical, which has also appeared on Broadway many times. The film and musical are about a group of artists, eight friends, who are living in New York City during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. They each are dealing with different problems in their lives, such as HIV/AIDS, drug addiction, rejection, and poverty. This movie had a very tremendous impact on me, and I was very impressed with how they tied each theme into it. I was moved in a way that it has even effected the way I look at others, and overall at life.

While writing this story she did not interview anyone because when she tried to have a conversation with the hippies all they would say to her is “Groovy”. Even when she tried to talk to the cops they would not even talk to her about what was going on. The welfare agency that helped the hippies out were called the Diggers and they did not trust her and that she was demonizing the counterculture. She did think that they were right. Even though the mainstream press was conflicted regarding the hippie phenomenon.

In my paper I will be discussing what makes Rent such an extraordinary rock musical, the care that went into creating it, and how it was different from what came before. I will provide analysis of characters and the plot, plus I will be describing the importance and relevance of certain songs.
