I decided to research one of the most influential Modern Dance pioneers; Martha Graham. Graham’s contributions to dance has often been compared to Picasso’s contributions to art and Stravinsky’s to music; in my opinion she opened up many new opportunities and possibilities for dance including the ability to learn free expression and honesty through movement.

The music style can be related to the Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey style of music for dancing due to the pace of the music and the type of movements.

The Maltese Falcon is a classic mystery film that came out in 1941 starring Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor directed by John Huston. The movie is based on the novel which came out in 1929.

Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl is one of my favorite characters ever because he has so many layers and eventually defies the odds and becomes a sorta good person.

Chuck drinks excessively from a young age, associates with prostitutes, schemes, continuously breaks laws, and even finds himself in jail. People assigned all sorts of labels on him; brooding, a brilliant businessman, "bad boy Bass"... all of these
