Footloose Essay

To begin with, the story Footloose the Musical unfolds with a teenage boy named Ren McCormack who lives in Chicago. One of the main hobbies of Ren McCormack is dancing, who plays a critical role throughout the story. The rising actions became with Ren McCormack’s father abandoning the family. Due to that, the family has to move to a small town where the sister of Ren McCormack’s mother lives. The town puts more emphasis on spiritual life while monitoring all events that occur in the town cautiously. In the town, Ren McCormack is having a tough time fitting with other people in the town. While that is happening, he discovers that there is a law which bans dancing of any type or any time which is set by local minister Reverend Shaw Moore. At that time, he also learns from Ariel's (Reverend Shaw Moore’s daughter) friends about an accident resulting in the death of four teenagers that occurred 5 years ago. Due to this incident, dancing in the town has been prohibited. Gradually, Ren starts connecting with the other teenagers in the town while also building a strong friendship with Ariel. With the help of Ariel and Willard (Ren’s best friend), Ren convinces the teenagers how dancing is not harmful, and it should not be prohibited, and they should tell their concern to Reverend Shaw Moore. After many attempts, the teenagers in the town were able to convince Reverend Shaw Moore that the town should heal from a tragedy that happened five years ago. In the end, Reverend Shaw

Poetry is the use of carefully constructed phrases used to express deeply felt thoughts and feelings in a way that flows between ideas. In his poems I Lie in this Coffin and A Load of Shoes, Yiddish poet Abraham Sutzkever uses a range of literary techniques to communicate his profound sense of loss and despair at the constrictions of living in the Jewish ghetto with everyday reminders of the Holocaust. Through use of metaphor and the ironic comfort of the “suit made of wood…a cradle, an ark” in the first poem, and with the extended metaphor of shoes missing their feet in the second poem, the poet manages to paint a picture for us of both everyday ghetto life and the enormity of the ‘Final Solution’. His conversation with those who have been killed reinforces a concept of personal loss that is linked at the same time to eternity. This is reinforced by the poet’s use of personification in the

Bonnie Green, Chief Estimator, agreed that in a normal year only slight delays might develop due to a shortage of labor. However, she pointed out that for such a large project, the company would have to use unionized employees and that the construction industry labor agreements with New York City were to expire on October 30, 2004. Past experience and current construction activity in the surrounding area indicated that any union tradesman would support a strike against the city. Since this is a public project, she estimates that there is a 50% chance that they would strike this project to gain the attention of the national media.

So, What is Footloose? The classic film, Footloose, was released on February 17, 1984. It stars Kevin Bacon, who plays teenager, Ren McCormack. McCormack grew up in the big city of Chicago before being shipped off to the small town on Bomont to live with his aunt and uncle. Soon after his arrival, he discovers that dancing, rock music, partying, and alcohol are banned. At first, he questions the laws, but does not do anything. He then discovers that he is not the only one that questions them. Students would often sneak away to party and dance. So, with the help of his new friends, Willard Hewitt (Chris Penn) and Ariel Moore (Lori Singer), he decides to challenge these laws, and stand against the town. He challenges them by breaking them, understanding them, and talking to the town council (How).

He then joined the cast of the Second City Theatre where he was then discovered by Lorne Michaels who was the producer for Saturday Night Live. Once the producer of SNL saw Chris the rest was history. I chose Chris Farley as my third favorite actor because he was undoubtedly one of my favorite comedians.

Quick! Look at your shoes. If your shoes have laces, they might be tied wrong. In fact, about 50% of Americans tie their shoes the wrong way, that is, they use the wrong knot when tying their shoes.

    “Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose, kick off my sunday shoes. Jack, get back, come on before we crack.” (Footloose, Kenny Loggins) For this essay, I chose to watch Footloose made in 1984 and directed by Herbert Ross and Footloose made in 2011 directed by Craig Brewer. Both movies centered around the town of Bomont, a secluded town with out of the ordinary beliefs. In this town, dancing and partying of any sort was strictly against the law and teenagers were seemingly miserable. There was little to no self expression and even listening to provocative music or any music too loud, could get you a ticket with a hefty fine. The reason behind the strict rules is that several years back, five teens from Bomont High School died in a car wreck after they were drinking and dancing too much. Each of these movies have some things in common, but have more differences than anything. Some of the main differences are the opening credits of each movie, how and who Ren arrives to Bomont at the beginning of the movie, the “chicken” races between Ren and Jeff, and the book burning in town square.
