...Amanda Bynes has made some unforgettable decisions that make us question what a spunky, colorful, and fun person she was. She has always been apart of our lives. Ever since back in the 90’s when she would “Bring Out the Dancing Lobsters”, she has always made us laugh with her skit-type comedy show, “The Amanda Show”. As she grew up she still managed to keep us laughing with her hit T.V. show, “What a Girl Wants” (“Saga”). She then landed movie roles in “Hairspray” and “Easy A” (“Bynes”). Amanda has been a part of our lives for a long time, and who we know as a sweet and innocent girl has completely changed. We all know that our childhood actors and actresses usually fall in a spring of events. Amanda has lost that squeaky clean image because...

Mr. Wingfield is hinted frequently in the play and is a definitive image of escape. This is on account of how he managed to completely remove...

...test. The tests come back positive for type 1 diabetes. Amanda's blood sugars are in the 700 range. Standard range is under 120. What does that mean? Will she be okay? I am devastated. My husband is out of town; I am left to handle this on my own. Panic mode sets in. Afterward, we are immediately sent to the hospital to start treatment and the learning process. The emergency room is very full, busy and noisy. There are doctors and nurses everywhere. They put Amanda in a cubicle-like room with a portable bed and close the curtain. Amanda does not understand; all she wants to do is go home and go trick-or-treating. In walks a very tall, thin gentleman with a stethascope around his neck. He introduces himself as a pediatric endocrinologist who explaines to me what diabetes is and how we will treat it. All this information is very overwhelming for me.

...was wonderful. I really enjoyed the parts where he was speaking to the audience and Amanda would call him in and he would answer, look to the audience, and walk onto the scene. In my opinion, that made the connection with Tom even bigger for the audience. Tom is the working man of the family, the breadwinner so to speak. He works in a shoe warehouse and the audience finds he is very unhappy there. Tom struggles through life without adventure. He longs to have adventure like the people in the movies that he sees all the time. Tom is called “Shakespeare” by his co-worker and friend Jim O’Conner, because he writes poetry. Tom cannot handle his overbearing mother and after a big fight breaks down and does something she asks. Amanda is the mother of Laura and Tom. She is the antagonist of the play. Amanda is still hurt by her husband leaving her all those years ago. She yearns to re-live her past of popularity through her daughter, Laura. Everything Amanda tries does not work as Laura is not like Amanda was. Amanda struggles with Tom to have him find a gentleman caller for his sister. Amanda does not see the reality that Laura is different, she only wants to see her imaginary reality. She is constantly living in her illusion and pulling her children down. Laura is the slightly crippled daughter. She is extremely shy and gets physically ill when in situations that she does not want to be in. Laura is the...

...Tom Wingfield is a determined young man. He has decided against everyone else in his family's wishes that he wants to leave the dismal life of a factory job, to pursue a chance in the Merchant Marines. He realizes that he would be running off like his father and this is probably the only thing that kept him from leaving this long. Amanda, Tom's mother, deep down knows the day is coming that Tom will leave. She says "But not till there's someone to take your place." She wants Laura, if not herself to be taken care of. At that moment in the play Tom is the breadwinner in the family and up to this point Tom is the underpriviledged child that wants to move on. He wants to pursue his dream, a more adventurous life. Tom was a likable character until we find out he didn't pay the electric bill with the intended money. When Jim is over and he says "I paid my dues this month, instead of the light bill". At this point, Tom becomes a more selfish character. There is less sympathy given in his direction. In fact, this is probably where we feel a little more sorry for Amanda. Amanda has probably not done everything right for her family, but her intentions have always been good. Tom has lost patience and wants to pursue his journey away now. There's no waiting to save the money for the dues. He doesn't stop going to the movies for a week or quit smoking to save money. He takes the money for the light bill. We know this is a painfully big deal and he has intentionally hurt his family at this...

...to day living from the eyes of the son, and only male figure present in the family, Tom. In The Glass Menagerie Tom tells his story as well as the rest of his families, and presents how each family member deals with issues on their own. However it appears that each family member has problems coping with their everyday troubles and all seem to resort to the route of escapism from the real world, and put their focus and attention into their own passions ranging from stories of past experiences, collections of many sorts, or self expression and work and in the process seem to lose their grip on what is actually happening in the world around them. In The Glass Menagerie, there are three main characters, Amanda the mother, Tom the son, and Laura the daughter and the youngest. Amanda was abandoned by her husband about 16 years prior, leaving Tom to step up as the male figure and head of the house. This forced Tom into a position of always having to work so he could provide for and consistently support his family. Tom holds a job at a warehouse that he absolutely despises, and is getting sick of with each and every passing day. Tom also hates how so much pressure is put on him from his mother to always be the support and only source of cash flow for the household. This eventually drives Tom into alcohol, poetry and going to see movies by himself, just to get away for awhile. Going to the movies allows Tom to spend time away from the warehouse, as well as his own home and demanding...

Kant argues that an acting of duty is not enough since it is to do the right thing for the wrong reason. Gone Baby is a movie that is an Oscar nomination film.

...is unacceptable. It is vital to work to establish a positive, supportive school culture for the emotional well-being of students, teachers, and faculty. It was reported that on Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 15 year old Amanda Todd of Port Coquitlam, Canada apparently committed suicide after being subjected to bullying on and offline. Amanda was a sophomore at Coquitlam Alternate Basic Education High School. When Amanda was in the 7th grade a man coerced her into flashing him on her web camera (Grenoble). A year later the man contacted her via Facebook and threatened that he would send the topless photo to everyone she knew if she did not “put on a show” for him on her webcam. Through the power of the internet he had been able to access her personal information, including that of her friends and relatives. Amanda refused his request and the photo was forwarded. All of Amanda’s friends turned on her and began to bully her. When the bullying became unbearable she changed schools in an effort to alleviate the emotional pain. At this point Amanda had developed anxiety, depressions and substance abuse problems. The online stalker was relentless and created a Facebook profile using her topless photograph. When people in her new school saw the profile, Amanda lost all her “friends” again...

...Textbook Picture: The Preschool Child The ages between 3 and 6 are often called the preschool years. During this period, a child develops in these main areas: physical development, cognitive development, language development, social development, and motor development. A child grows taller and loses the chubbiness of the toddler period in these years. Gross and fine motor skills become more developed and refined as each year passes as manifested by participation in running, skipping, and drawing pictures. Language develops rapidly, and the child may know thousands of words and is able to construct rather complicated sentences by the end of this period. The major tasks of the preschool child include preparation to enter school, the development of a cooperative-type play, control of body functions, acceptance of separation, and increase in communication skills, memory, and attention span (Leifer, 2003, p. 422). Erikson’s preschool stage involves the development of initiative (Leifer, 2003, p. 436). He believed that a preschool child learns assertiveness and can manipulate the environment. Kohlberg’s theory concerning preschoolers refers to the moral development and the beginning awareness of needs of others (Leifer, 2003, p. 436). He stated that a preschool child believes that rules are absolute, and breaking rules result in punishment.

But there is still an enquiry in our minds about the model of SG1000 product, why is it currently quoted with such a high price like that? KGC (Kim): Because at present, the SG1000 model is the most innovative one of our company. It is made with the latest features on playing techniques. Our chief manager of workshop, Ms Hansol, will give you a presentation about the advancement of this model, through which you can see the reason why it requires that high amount of money.

...11-17-12 Quotes Project for “Glass Menagerie” Quote 1- Throughout the story, “Glass Menagerie”, Tennessee Williams wrote responses of each character that was able to develop the thesis, plot, and themes. Details given early in the book help establish the characters’ personalities and physical looks, which aide to the readers understanding of the characters’ actions. The conversation between Amanda and Laura, (page 17) “Amanda: Girls that aren’t cut out for business careers usually wind up married to some nice man….Laura: But Mother…..I’m- crippled!” reveals that Laura is physically handicapped and she allows her disabilities to determine her choices in life because she is embarrassed. This certain conversation is important because it displays Laura’s insecurity, which affected her decision to drop out of business school. When reading this conversation I became saddened by the fact that Laura allows her physical disability to govern her life. She is held back from being successful in life because she has a mental block. Later in the text, the author reveals to the reader that Laura has no social life and dropped out of business school because she could not handle the pressure. Not only am I saddened by Laura’s yielding behavior, but I can relate to her mental block. When entering high school I was very small, to be exact, I was 5’2 112 pounds, while the average male peer was 5’8 150 pounds. Because of my lack of size, I tended to be non-aggressive; playing football I was...
