...Analyzing Andre Agassi in the Media Andre Agassi is a tennis celebrity known for his many contributions. Now seen as a loving father and husband, philanthropist, and respected ambassador of tennis, he was once seen as a charismatic kid that had no obligations. His story of his first grand slam final gives insight to what Agassi’s career was all about. In 1990 Agassi was playing in the biggest tennis match of his life at the time. He lost that match but in 2009, Agassi admits that on that day Agassi was more concerned about his image rather than his prerogative to win. Agassi reveals that in the final he was wearing a long lion-mane wig and because he used the wrong conditioner, the wig was starting to fall off and Agassi cared more about preventing this then playing tennis. In the beginning of Agassi’s career he believed image was everything, but after maturing and realizing truths, Agassi began to live his life with no secrets and started to appreciate and respect tennis and those around him. In this paper I will discuss how three different media streams – television commercials, online magazine articles, and television shows – effectively constructed Agassi’s biography from an immature kid to a well respected role model. The commercial portrays Agassi as young, careless, and glamorous. The online magazine article effectively shows how professional writers view Agassi’s transformation. And finally the television show offers a closer and up-close view of Agassi. In 1990 Canon...

...“Reaction Paper About Andres Bonifacio” When a film is described as poetic, it is often taken as a compliment. However, when a film is described as theatrical, it is seen as a critique, scathing at that. What makes poetry the better spouse to cinema? Isn’t cinema but a visual and aural interplay of poetry and theater to begin with? Theater provides the cornerstones: the narrative, the milieu, the setting and the characters. Poetry, on the other hand, more than the façade and the flourishes, provides the requisite subtlety in the execution, the minute gestures that accentuate a character, that last five seconds of absolute silence before a cut, the symbols, the verses, the rhymes, and rhythms. This is purely hypothetical. But if films are judged based on a balance where theatricality is measured with poetry, and the former outweighs the latter by a large margin, does it mean that the film is better off staged than filmed? Of course, cinema, contrary to common misconception, is vaster than the trite and absolutely baseless hypothesis that was just forwarded. For that reason, cinema should and cannot be caged to what is merely “cinematic” because the term “cinematic” itself is already enigmatic, subjective in its very definition and has something more to do with how the recorded moving pictures are treated and utilized to express rather than how these pictures are moved and later on recorded. That being said, for all the accusations of supposed theatricality, Mario O’Hara’s...

...a man trying to find his path. His most important early success occurred at his Paris debut in April 1924. They loved him immediately. His reputation became international. Andres Segovia was born on February 21, 1893 in the Andalusian city of Linares, Spain. His father was a prosperous lawyer and hoped that one day that his son would join him in his work. Andres’ father, trying to build a wide cultural background for his son, began to provide Andres with musical instruction at an early age. He taught him how to play the piano and the violin, but Andres did not seem to be too enthusiastic about either instrument. When Andres was open to the vocals of a guitar being played his interest in music itself had begun. Even though his parents disapproved of him playing the guitar, Andres still continued to play the instrument. Andres applied his musical knowledge of piano and violin to his study of the guitar. Because of this, Andres developed his own technique; he had discovered quite early that certain piano exercises were beneficial in strengthening the fingers for the guitar. He believed that the guitars rightful place was in a concert stage, but at this time the guitar was considered unsuitable in place like a concert stage. Because of Andres Segovia, the history of the guitar changed forever. Andres Segovia’s performances also helped make guitar makers become famous themselves. His expertise also helped the Yamaha corporation,...

...Distortion Master A Hungarian born photographer, Andre Kertesz, is known for his innovative collection of photojournalism that first began to fully develop in Paris. His collection named Distortion came to be discovered and developed when Kertesz photographed a man swimming underwater. This photo named Underwater Swimmer taken in 1917, more than slightly distinguishes what his distortion collection consists of. As seen in the photo the water morphs the body; some parts are enlarged, for example the swimmers shoulders and others are not as seen from the waist down. This un-proportional effect caused by the water developed his ideas of what and how he came to create his series of distorted photographs. In 1933, Kertesz began to work for a magazine called Le Sourire. Le Sourire was a “magazine known for its piquant illustrations of undressed girls” (Andre 18). That today would be considered a playboy type of magazine. Kertesz approached this task by photographing nude women but transformed the photos into distorted photos. He did this by using fun house mirrors to provide him the effect he wanted to convey though his photos. The fun house mirrors shifted the body, stretched, squeezed, and of course distorted it. The photograph that best exemplifies his distortion collection is Distortion #70. As mentioned before these photos were taken for a nude magazine. So, here all you see is a woman’s breast and much of her torso when you first look at it. The model’s face is morphed out...

...Khryss Mary B. Solis Philippine History BSEDENMR-1 Sir. Eman Nolasco Don Andres Malong Revolts Andres Malong was the leader of the short-lived but devastating revolt in Pangasinan in 1660-1661. A native of Binalatongan, Pangasinan, Malong was the province’s master-of-camp, the governor’s right-hand man in dealing with the natives. He was a timawa. An Augustinian account described him as highly intelligent and clever. Although it was his job, as master-of-camp, to impress upon his fellow Pangasinenses the advantages of having the Spanish overlord, he had other ideas. Unknown to his Spanish masters, he was sowing the seeds of revolt in the minds of the people. It was the time of the Dutch invasion of the Philippines. A thousand natives were employed in Pampanga and Bataan to cut timber for the building of ships. They were recruited not just from those provinces but also from Pangasinan, the Ilocos, and Cagayan. After working for eight months away from their families and without being paid their meager salaries, they had grown agitated. The mutinous situation was turned into an open revolt by Pampangos, led by Francisco Maniago, a master-of-camp like Malong. However, this revolt in Pampanga was easily quelled, without any blood being spilled on its soil. The one that spread to Pangasinan by Andres Malong, was something else. Malong’s revolt targeted only the Spanish government officials, not the Spanish priest. Obviously, Pangasinenses had a...

... For example, the celebrity Jade Goody grew to fame by badmouthing people, swearing, and doing many other morally wrong things in order to win the reality TV show Big Brother. However, this spring she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. In the remaining weeks of her life, she was like a changed person: she spent her time raising awareness for cervical cancer, writing out wills in order to make sure that her two young sons would have enough money after she passed on, and so forth. Knowing that they are going to die can often change someone dramatically. In her final days, Jade's conscience motivated her to do several good things. History is strewn with the names of famous people who have given large donations to charity: Bill Gates, Andre Agassi, etc. Sometimes, these people may not only be motivated by sheer conscience, but also the public honour and fame of having a foundation, a charity, or a building named after them. But people also give anonymous donations - in 2009, an anonymous donor gave a million dollars to some American universities. As no-one knew who they were, money, fame, and power cannot possibly have been ther reason for their donation. Conscience and conscience alone must have inspired them. In LOTR: The Fellowship Of The Ring, Boromir, motivated by power and glory, attempts to steal the One Ring from Frodo, almost killing him. Frodo escapes and disappears; soon afterwards, Boromir repents and realizes his mistake. This is demonstrated by the fact that...

Yesterday I managed to go to one of my favorite cinema houses and watch the Scenema Concept International and Viva Films' entry to the 38th Metro Manila Film Festival "El Presidente: The General Emilio Aguinaldo Story and the First Philippine Republic. | A Scene from The "El Presidente" | El Presidente tells the story of the Philippines' very first president Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, the deliverance of the Philippines from the hands of its colonists and the establishment of our first republic. Jeorge "ER" Estregan plays the lead role with Cesar Montano as Andres Bonifacio. The entire movie did not disappoint me as it was able to deliver what I was expecting based on the theatrical trailer they released. I am no expert when it comes to the Philippine History but I have some knowledge about our past so this film's plot is not that new to me but this movie still gave me some new things about this particular matter of which I do not know if those were really part of our history or just an additional "spice" to the film to make it a little bit entertaining and that maybe because what director Meily described the movie as "fiction film based on a historical figure" according Abs-cbnnews.com. For example if my memory serves me correctly, I never read nor heard during my school days that the katipuneros used bow and arrows. In the movie especially during the ambush...

...Who Made Rizal Our Foremost National Hero, and Why? BY: ESTEBAN A. DE OCAMPO Dr. Jose Rizal Mercado y Alonso, or simply Jose Rizal (1861-1896), is unquestionably the greatest hero & martyr of our nation. The day of his birth & the day of his execution are fittingly commemorated by all classes of our people throughout the length & breadth of this country & even by Filipinos & their friends abroad. His name is a byword in every Filipino home while his picture adorns the postage stamp & paper money of widest circulation. No other Filipino hero can surpass Rizal in the number of towns, barrios, & streets named after him; in the number of educational institutions, societies, & trade names that bear his name; in the number of persons, both Filipinos & foreigners, who were named "Rizal" or "Rizalina" because of their parents’ admiration for the Great Malayan; & in the number of laws, Executive Orders & Proclamations of the Chief Executive, & bulletins, memoranda, & circulars of both the bureaus of public & private schools. Who is the Filipino writer & thinker whose teachings & noble thoughts have been frequently invoked & quoted by authors & public speakers on almost all occasions? None but Rizal. And why is this so? Because as biographer Rafael Palma (1) said, "The doctrines of Rizal are not for one epoch but for all epochs. They are as valid today as they were yesterday. It cannot be said that because the political...

...What are the primary information needs of each manager? Andre Agassi, Sales Manager: As the sales manager, Andre would be interested in the details surrounding sales. The overall sales data is the primary need and this data is found by looking at three distinct values: total sales, by territory, and per sales person. These details include information on the volume of sales comprehensively, quarterly and for the types of products. The numbers surrounding specific sales territories and level of sales in those territories will provide valuable information to Andre as well as the information on sales numbers for individual sales representatives. With sales increasing over the last 10 years, Andre would need to do a comparative analysis of the variety of products and look at sales volumes to specific customers. Serena Williams, Technical Specialist: As a technical specialist, Serena would be interested in the departmental cost data. Since she supervises computer programmers, there would be a need to have the cost information by looking at how many programmers there are and the individual cost as well as the total departmental costs and assisting in the management of these period costs. Additionally, the information needs of Serena surrounding the new implementation of the advanced manufacturing techniques would be the programming necessary to have the robot arms function effectively and efficiently.

...It was only a few days before receiving this assignment that both my children (seven, and eight years old) came home from school with negative reports informing me about performance delays, behavior concerns, and daily mishaps in the classroom. As a concerned parent, I decided to restrict them to their rooms, take away all forms of entertainment (i.e. games, movies, or tablets) for two weeks, and ordered an earlier bedtime. With tears pouring down their young faces and a plethora of apologetic promises, my children began to scream like Patrick Henry “give me liberty or give me death.” In retrospect, after reading the articles from Amy Chua and Hanna Rosin (two polar opposites with controversial cultural distinctions on how to raise and discipline a child) it would be an honest assessment that (figuratively speaking) I gave my boys both “liberty and death.” Amy Chuna, a Chinese mother raising two daughters Sophia and Louisa, holds a traditionally strict parenting style. Within her Asian household, Amy focuses on the success and discipline of her children, raising them on an ancient Chinese philosophical idea that “nothing is fun until you are good at it” and “happiness comes from mastery” (Chua, 2011). According to Chua, her daughter were “never allowed to attend sleepover[s], have a playdate, be in a school play, watch TV, play computer games, or get any grade other than an A” (2011). Chuna’s beliefs for an overzealous discipline, combined with extremely high expectations...

... If there is a need to place someone as national hero then who should we pick between those huge names? It is always said in many cultures that the pen is mightier than the sword, the blood of academic scholars are better than that blood of warriors, wars are not won in the battlefield, it’s pure politics. The name Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio are some of the well-known personalities that have been mentioned in the annals of Philippine history. The exemplary deeds that they had done for our country; in order to achieve freedom from the hands of the Spanish colonizers is worth to be remembered specially by the present generation. Indeed, their heroism is well done. Apparently, there are some students, faculty, leftist, writers, critics and even we perhaps questioned the credibility of Rizal when he got the title of being our “Philippine National Hero” why not Bonifacio which results to the existence of pro-Bonifacio and anti-Rizal or pro-Rizal and anti-Bonifacio. The comparison of these two personalities and made endless debate of who should be our national hero is much discussed in the environment of academe. Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio opted for different courses of action. Rizal fought against the friars with the use of his pen. Bonifacio advocated for revolution. According to author Renato...
