...around and insulted by the jocks at McKinley for everything from his accent to his clothes. Rory's first song on the show is a dream-sequence rendition of the classic Kermit the Frog song Bein' Green. Throughout the episode, Rory, in the hope of finally losing his virginity, pretends to be a real leprechaun and "grant" Brittany's wishes as she has promised him that after she gets three wishes fulfilled, she will let him into her "Pot of gold". Rory admires Finn, whom he recognizes from an online video of him kissing Rachel at last year's Nationals. Rory soon manages to awkwardly befriend Finn. Afraid that he will steal Brittany, Santana intimidates Rory into convincing Brittany to follow Santana in defecting from New Directions into rival glee club The Troubletones, which leads to a confrontation in the halls between Finn and Brittany which disillusions Brittany. After being saved by Finn from the bullies, Rory follows him and joins New Directions, singing Take Care Of Yourself. His performance is generally well-received, Rachel even describing it as "magical", although when Rory displays that he can also achieve an impressive falsetto, Kurt is visibly disturbed and possibly jealous as this was previously a skill he held over the other kids.

...Sociological Reflections on High School: a media analysis of Glee The following is a paper I wrote for a sociology class and I have been thinking alot about group dynamics and fitting in and the difference a close knit group of friends can make in one person's life...more on that topic to come. The minority to be analyzed is the subordinate group in the high school environment. More specifically: how can membership in a subordinate group perceived as “bottom of the rung”, enhance the cohesiveness of that socially subordinate group in the adolescent environment, and how does the subgroup attempt to overcome the negative perception imposed on them? The hypothesis being that members of a social group with specific goals, perceived as subordinate and influenced by the social superiority of their peers will bond as a result of common social maltreatment as well as common goals. The results of this study can provide an understanding of the realistic ability for high school aged children to develop healthy relationships despite their subordinate status within their social environment and whether this idea is accurately represented in the media. Literature Review In addressing the concrete definition and study of cohesion, Moody and White explain the ongoing issue of cohesion this way: “Although questions about social cohesion lie at the core of our discipline, definitions are often vague...

...Cory Monteith dies at 31. What an early age to die right? I was never a Glee fan but for a short period, ummmm say 1 season, I actually enjoyed it because of Noah! Of course, I never did discount the talent of Rachel and Finn. Cory Monteith's life was cut tragically short on Saturday, July 13. The Glee star, who celebrated his 31st birthday on May 11, was found dead in a hotel room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver, Canada, police announced in a press conference. According to Vancouver PD, emergency personnel arrived at the hotel shortly after noon, at which point Monteith was pronounced dead on the scene by paramedics. The coroner is investigating cause of death. Foul play is not suspected. "We are so saddened to confirm that the reports on the death of Cory Monteith are accurate," the actor's rep said in a statement to Us Weekly shortly after news broke of the tragedy. " We are in shock and mourning this tragic loss." PHOTOS: Stars gone too soon Monteith had recently completed treatment for substance addiction. On March 31 of this year, he announced via his rep that he had voluntarily checked himself into rehab, buoyed by the support of his girlfriend, Lea Michele, and others.

One of the foods his mother makes and he can not live without is her homemade mac & cheese. “It’s probably the most Virginian thing about me and one of the many “Mama’s boy” things about me.” Said Gustin. He describes his favorite food as a warm, gooey and mouth watering creation that he can eat all day. Grant has other hidden talents also. One of Gustin’s other talents are that he loves to tap dance. He has been dancing since he was eight years old and still continues it today. Even though he might not be known for tap dancing, he still tries to practice whenever he has free time in his schedule. Before he was given the role as Sebastian Smythe in “Glee,” he tried out for a tap dancing role in a “Glee” episode and submitted a video but sadly never got the...

While some Nguni pushed further South to form the Xhosa nation, we are interested in a small clan headed by a chief called that settled in the Umfolozi River area. Malandela's wife was called Nozinja and they had two sons, Quabe, then Zulu (heaven). After Malandela's death, Quabe eyed the small herd of the clan so Nozinja, Zulu and a servant moved a short distance away to found a new home. Shaka's Father - Senzangakhona Eventually, Zulu married and his lineage, all bearing the name Zulu, was Punga, Mageba, Ndaba, Jama and, at the end of the 18th century, Senzangakhona. The Zulu clan was still very small and occupied only an area of a few square kilometres. Senzangakhona had a flirtation with Nandi the daughter of a neighbouring chief of the Elangeni clan. The result of this liaison was a boy, named , born in 1787. His name comes from uShaka, a beetle...

...Moreover, one of our major goals of Glee Senior Living Center is to start it with our own capital from personal savings and getting loan from the bank in order to give it a good start and a great foundation, so once the business is officially running we want it to survive off its own cash flow without the need for injecting finance from external sources. We know that one of the ways of gaining approval and winning customers over by providing a conducive lodging for our residents, offer our services a little bit cheaper than what is obtainable on the market. We will be at risk if we provide our services at a lower price than the market price, but we are well prepared to survive on the lower profit margin for a while. We have been able to generate about $ 700,000 from our personal savings,...

...how it organized and perpetuated the power structure in the world of Glee relating to whiteness (Carol & Henry , 2010). The dominant ideology of race more specifically white race, became embedded in everyday cultural practices. Dubrofsky’s article focuses too heavily on the downplay of racism between characters and racist tropes and neglects the exposure and affects of whiteness viewers will unintentionally observe. The idea of assimilation and integration is illustrated in various ways where whiteness is used as a platform to gain acceptance, produce opportunities and establish success. Throughout the first two seasons of Glee Mercedes’ role was a typical stereotypical Black person being “…undisciplined, unrefined, primitive, exotic, inappropriately sexual, emotional and unstable” (Banjo & Fraley, 2014). Furthermore the notion of attaining recognition and success is only exemplified once Mercedes has whitened herself via her appearance, behavior and disposing her urban inflictions. When Mercedes auditions for her play post “whitening” the judges are impressed “…with talk of how she is finally showing she has what it takes to be a star” (Dubrofsky, 2013). Dubrofsky’s article is deprived of collective wholeness in ignoring other characters in the show and their racial experiences and challenges in regards to white privilege. The article can be improved by including other characters that exist within Glee of other racial backgrounds such as Tina Cohen-Chang. These characters...

...When one hears the word “Jock” he or she may think of someone who plays a sport and excels in that sport, but what if everyone were a jock, just in their own way. Many TV shows and movies have helped develop this stereotype. But, if one were to really think about it they would notice that everyone is a “jock” in one way or another. For example, let’s say that there is someone who is really smart and gets good grades, but he or she doesn’t go out to party a lot. We would most likely call them a “Nerd” or a “Geek,” but he or she is just like a jock. Although, they may stay home and study for an upcoming test, that is their way of “practicing,” just like how jocks would practice for an upcoming game. If one were to Google search the word “Jock,”...

...Meghan Tedder 4/01/2012 College Writing II Literary Analysis [Broken] Dreams The album Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is considered to be one of the best albums of all time by critics (Rumours). This album was the peak of the band’s success but also represented the end of several relationships within the group. During the time the album was made, drummer Mick Fleetwood was going through a divorce, band members John and Christine McVie were separated, and Stevie Nick’s eight year relationship with Lindsey Buckingham had ended. Through the tension, the band was able to produce a mix of emotionally charged songs. Within the album, “Dreams” received the best feedback. The song talks about how a guy that wants his freedom by being single, but also the inevitability of loneliness he will feel once he realizes what he’s lost. When analyzing the lyrics the complexity of emotions is apparent and familiar to many audiences. The first verse, “Now here you go again. You say you want your freedom. Well who am I to keep you down?” sets the stage for the breakup (Fleetwood Mac). The use of the word again shows the frustration Stevie felt when Buckingham was not trying to meet her needs and instead wanted the freedom to do things for himself. The wording, “keep you down” applies to the idea that Stevie felt she did not have the right to control his independence. With a more accepting tone Stevie sings, “It’s only right that you should play the way you feel it” but continues...

Having a relationship with someone of the same gender, or wanting to change the gender that a person was born as, was not looked upon with an accepting mind. The media has opened people’s minds to a whole new way of viewing people’s personal feelings and thoughts towards their gender and what gender people should have a relationship with. Media has been an way of inspiring those with different views on certain aspects of genders that many disagreed with. Many people were fully against gay marriage until the media stepped in a made people see it in a different way. Being a transgender was not the most popular thing, but media has made it more acceptable to those that were against it. People should have the right to be whatever gender they feel entitled to whether others think so or not. The media currently has several people that are into the art of makeup. Many of these artists happen to be men. Men are usually not viewed as wearing tons of makeup, but the perspective of these people are positive. People used to be a lot more judge-mental to anyone who wanted to do something that was generally done by the opposite sex. These guys that do fabulous makeup are not looked at as different they...
