Lemony Snicket's A Wide Window

Broward College, Central Campus Theater in building 6, on Sunday, the 1st of November. The play was performed by Broward College students. The type of stage was Proscenium stage with extended apron. I thought it was a little bit small, but it did not show as a problem. The pre-show was dark and a feel of suspense. I felt excited to see how everything would play out. The play takes place down south of Chicago in the 1950’s.

In my book, The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket, I would say Sunny Baudelaire changed the most. In the very beginning, Sunny was a little baby who couldn’t speak more than one word at a time. In the book before this one, you got a hint that she could be developing culinary skills or hobbies when she decided to put cinnamon in the hot chocolate. Now, Count Olaf is making her cook them food and her culinary skills are growing. She is starting to use her resources very well. For example, she took what everybody thought was a cigarette (that was already lit), and warmed up the food with its heat. She is now transforming into a little girl not only physically, but also mentally. In the book it says, “‘I’m not a baby,’ Sunny said, and hugged her.

Being black in America means to exist while subconsciously striving to reach out and own that imaginary white picket fence. You know, that nice house nested inside that white picket fence in that wonderful neighborhood with the perfectly cut grass on top of that sunny hill along with the perfectly paved roads leading up to it. African Americans see it all the time in televisions, magazines and newspaper ads. As poor blacks invest their life’s work in trying and subsequently failing to achieve this imaginary dream, they end up devouring any sense propriety remaining in their life; the play A Raisin in The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry exemplifies this tragedy.

My favorite book is The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. I really liked that book because it gave me goosebumps. For example, when Ponyboy was reciting the poem to Johnny, I had epiphanies of what it could mean. I also like the drama such as all the rumbles and Johnny dieing. The other thing I liked about The Outsiders was, I could feel the emotion of what everyone was feeling. For instance, when Ponyboy was feeling sad, I could feel it through how the author described it. The characters in The Outsiders are some of my favorite characters.

“…the windows are barred for little children,” resembles the bars of a prison or isolation cell showing how the Narrator is isolated

Like many of his films, Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954) is an intense study in the sometimes-jarring idiosyncrasies of its main character, L.B. Jeffries (James Stewart). Jeffries is an observer by nature, a professional photographer confined to his apartment by an injury, with only insurance company nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter) and his girlfriend, Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly) for company. This limitation impels him to begin observing his neighbors, and he witnesses events that lead him to believe Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr) has murdered his wide. However, Jeffries’ watchful habit raises serious questions about the relationships between neighbors and ethics of observation in densely-populated urban settings. Rear Window uses set design and disparate camera techniques to codify the acceptable and unacceptable ways in which a city dweller might observe their neighbors, based largely on level on intent.

At no time in 'The Open Window' is the teenage girl anything but excruciatingly polite to her guest. It was a general practice in those days for newcomers in the neighborhood to gifting themselves to their new neighbors with letters of insertion from a mutual acquaintance; this was a subtle way of defining that the beginner was 'all right' and no menace to the status quo of the neighborhood. The girl receives her guest with a show of kindness but then dangers him with contempt, both by telling him the story that drives him away and then telling her kinfolks a story about him that will convince them he is crazy. Victorians did not receive outsiders kindly, and Munro, as an stranger himself-- a morbid boy born of Scottish parents in Burma, raised by lady aunts, reciprocate off to boarding school at the age of twelve years when he'd never been away from home before --undoubtedly felt the brunt of the Victorian's loathing of the outsider most keenly. That sense of 'otherness' is wonderfully conveyed in this quirkyand deft but gloomy

The beginning part of the book was probably my most favorite part. I think this is because the unknown and bizarre behavior and the unknown kept me on edge. I also think her words and feelings in this part was expressed

People in different generations often have conflicting opinions. This is partly due to growing up in different times and learning different ideals. However, this difference is not always obvious. In “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry, conflicting opinions is a common theme between characters. In spite of how the Younger family seems to have frequent conflicts, there is still a sense of family. It is within the family, however, that conflict seems to prosper most. Two characters who have frequently have conflicting opinions are Lena Younger and her daughter, Beneatha Younger. L. Younger and B. Younger are opposites of each other in their personal views on religion, gender roles, and family loyalty.

When thinking about what Occupational Therapists (OT’s) and what they write it is a lot of goal setting, documenting what they found, and writing a proper diagnosis analysis. . Elders and children that have suffered from things such as disease, surgery, or injury is the main market for OT’s because it is a motor system disease based job. Writing about goal setting and diagnosis; treatment OT’s are a very important to those in which diseased. There are multiple different types of writing in OT; the diagnosis paper is not going to be the same style as a function-bases goal writing assessment. It is very important that each paper that is written that it is full of vital information that will help not only you but the patient to properly grow and develop correctly.

My primary motivation to become a registered veterinary technician is to learn and do more in the field of animal care. My experience working directly with animals has been incredibly rewarding. More than anything, it has shown me how important attention to detail and the most basic tasks can be. I have developed a healthy respect for the often tedious and demanding labor that is required to keep animals healthy and happy and I am quite comfortable taking on these duties, but I feel ready to do more.

The second book I read was called “Qué cosas dice mi abuela” which is translated as “Things my grandmother says”. This was a very sweet book about a little boy and his grandmother, who teaches him and his sister manners. I researched this book a little bit before reading it and the teachings in this book area actually traditional Spanish sayings. This makes the book a little more authentic to the Spanish language. For the most part, I had no idea what was happening based on the words alone. By looking at the picture I was able to interpret most of the story and understand what the book wanted to

Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, composed of 13 books is by far the most interesting, eerie and macabre children’s story in modern literature. It follows the turbulent lives of three orphan children Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, who are placed in custody of their distant cousin and uncle Count Olaf, after their parent’s death in the arson of their home. This unfortunate event propels a series of tragedies ignited by their greedy uncle who attempts to steal their inheritance.

“Mama-sometimes when I’m downtown and I pass them cool quiet looking restaurants where them white boys are sitting back and talking bout things…sitting there turning deals worth millions of dollars…sometimes I see guys don’t look much older than me’’- (1.2.226). A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry was published in 1959, develops the plot of an African American family facing a war against racism in the slums of Chicago.

Beowulf is the hero in the poem by the same name. Throughout the poem Beowulf faces three battles, with Grendel, with Grendel’s mother and a dragon. Beowulf is already a seasoned warrior when he encounters his first demon in the poem, and he only gains more experience as the story goes on. Beowulf faces monsters and politics throughout the story of self-preservation, revenge and learning. Though the three beasts have similarities, Beowulf’s attack and battle with each of them is different.
