“It’s Quiet Uptown” spans the range of emotions one feels upon the loss of a loved one. Grief, anger, depression, and guilt are all expressed through the lyrics. While the original number describes Alexander Hamilton’s move to Harlem after the death of his son during a duel (Pittsburgh Post Gazette), the powerful imagery that is portrayed and the emotions that are conveyed are relatable to anyone who has experienced loss. The piece “serves a ritualistic function--it takes us into grief, and then

“I think all we want is justice and equality, a chance for a life with a meaning. All of us would like to believe that if we were in a bad situation someone would help us”, Angelina Jolie. Angelina overcame this claim and actually became an activist to many disadvantaged people. Angelina Jolie is professional actress and film director.

Masculinity and Anti-capitalism in FIght Club I am planning to write about the 1999 film Fight Club, directed by David Fincher. This movie is about a nameless insomniac office worker (the narrator) who has become, as he views, a slave to consumer culture. He begins attending support groups for diseases he doesn’t have to subdue his emotional state, and he begins to sleep again.
