Lori Singer was born on November 6, 1957. She is best known for her role as Ariel Moore in Footloose opposite Kevin Bacon and as Julie Miller on the TV series Frame which ran from 1982-1983. After taking a break for some years in her career, she took up a guest role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In 2013, she co-produced the documentary Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God, which was nominated for 5 Emmy’s and won 3.
She later attended college and got a degree in Criminal Justice, preparing for a real world career but continuing to perform throughout the Midwest in pursuit of her dream of becoming an actress. After one of her performances, Marlee got an opportunity to meet Henry Winkler, who would eventually become her mentor. Unashamed and not intimidated by this famous actor, Marlee approached him and told him that she wanted to be an actor as well. He encouraged her that she could be whatever she wanted to in life. All she had to do was imagine it in her heart and her dreams would come true. I am sure that the ‘Fonz’ had no idea how big of an impact his words of encouragement would have on Marlee’s life.
Rachel Botsman’s theory of collaborative consumption is made up of different systems that interact within the different social systems of social work individually and simultaneously. The idea of collaborative consumption is a way for individuals to swap, barter, rent, and purchase items from the convenience of their home or while on the go (2010). From a micro system, Botsman is referring to the individuals who are actively participating in collaborative consumption. By bringing individuals together on a micro level in order to share resources, Botsman’s theory demonstrates how people can work together. Whereas, from a mezzo system Botsman’s theory works to bring any small group together under some common ground. An example of a mezzo system
Then soon after they were pregnant with their second child, Desi Arnaz Jr. I think it is funny that their children's names are the same as Lucille and Desi’s. Then 4 years after “I love Lucy” ended. After that about 6 months later Lucille along with Desi starred in another hit television show “The Lucy-Desi comedy hour.” This also went big for Lucille. Then in 1960 The show ended. Then about 1 month after Lucille and Desi divorced. Lucille stated that Desi was becoming unfaithful to her and coming home drunk on multiple occasions. This crushed multiple people all around the world. Just about a year and a half later, Lucille and Gary Morton were married. This wasn’t as big as Desi but still a big thing. Then the next year Lucy starred in the new comedy show “The Lucy Show” The show was based on being a widow and raising her 2 kids along with her co-star Vivian Vance. Her and Vivian had starred in 2 other shows together before this one. They must have been good friends. In 1968 she starred in “Here’s lucy” This was the 2nd to last show with her name in it. She later stopped being in movies and tv shows around 1974. In 1986 she once again starred in “Life with Lucy” this was the last show with her name in the title. No one really knows too much about the show. Quite frankly it was kind of a waste of time.
In “Mean Girls” by Tina Fey, there are a few characters that stand out because of how interesting they are. One that stands out the most to me is Karen Smith. In the course of the movie, she deals with her friends bringing a new girl into the group and that girl ends up turning into the “Queen” throughout the movie. Karen has to go through with her friends getting into verbal and physical wars. The writer also reveals that Karen is not the smart one of the group. For example, she tries to catch a football with her chest and it just ends up bouncing off. She appears to be dull-minded and clueless. Karen Smith shows that throughout the story she is a static character because she never changes throughout the movie.
When writing a piece of literature the content is often influenced from the background of the person who is writing. The author, whether consciously or subconsciously, adds in personal experiences or beliefs into their pieces. Flannery O’Connor is a good example of this trend. Her short stories illustrate the hardships, beliefs, and society at the time she lived and was writing. It is most blatantly demonstrated in her collection of short stories entitled, A Good Man Is Hard to Find, and Other Stories. Flannery O’Connor reflects her disease, in the mutilation of her characters, her religion, in the types of characters she chooses, and her being an outcast of society, in her characters’ traits, throughout the plots of
Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World is a fictional book, written by Jennifer Armstrong. It tells the true and extraordinary tale of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by Sir Ernest Shackleton 1914-17. All of the men worked extremely hard to get back home alive, but three men stood out the most. Those three men are: Sir Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley, and Tom Crean. These men were definitely the most essential to the entire expedition, and took part in almost every single task executed.

Curiosity about the possibility and conditions of "change in identity" has been remarkably intense, in fiction and in psychology, during the last century. In talk about literature, this has led to the development of a crude but useful terminological distinction of two sorts of characterization: "static" and "dynamic." A static character, in this vocabulary, is one that does not undergo important change in the course of the story, remaining essentially the same at the end as he or she was at the beginning. A dynamic character, in contrast, is one that does undergo an important change in the course of the story. More specifically, the changes that we are referring to as being "undergone" here are not changes in circumstances, but
