...that captures my eyes and thoughts is the Mizner Park Administration Building that was built in the early 1900’s and was used as the administration and sales office for Addison Mizner. He built this building to serve as a visual example for his prospective clients of Boca Raton. The function was used well; he had offices for the engineers, an apartment for himself, restaurants to eat in. He used the form of Spain as in El Greco’s house in Toledo Spain giving it the Mediterranean design which is very appealing to many, a different place to look at from other areas in Florida. I believe with this Addison Mizner used Secular Architecture for he was able to combine function and form and the structure was used just for what he had built. Now today the administration building in Boca is occupied by a restaurant, bar and grill, Oppenheimer & Co. Office and also used for special events and gathering which is still the form an function he had created and wanted back when he started. Part II: Next, find an element of art. Consider civic art, sculpture, an image you use to decorate your home, graffiti, street performance, or any art experience that you find engaging. Start by describing the work of art. Try to use terminology from the text. You may consider the following questions: What is the medium? What are the...

...Deep Fried Southern Bigotry At It's Best “Love that chicken from Popeyes”, is the jazzy and r&b infused jingle that has captivated the nation and reminds you of who's the target audience. “There is no North American city with its blend of French, Spanish, Vietnamese, Canary Island, Caribbean, German, Irish, and American Dixie culture. It's a Catholic city and has affinities with Boston and Chicago and Miami in that sense...”(qtd. in Quora). Having all that diversity of New Orleans, Lousiana, why in the hell is the spokesperson for Popeyes Lousiana Fried Chicken, a sassy black woman character appropriately named “Annie the Chicken Queen” or to some known as the modern day “Mammie”, with her in your face quips like “Get up off that floor...

...Thursday, but that didn’t work out. I got a call on Friday and Saturday as well. I should’ve got started yesterday but that wasn’t happening either, football Sunday. So I guess I’ll have to make it up this weekend. This project is going to be difficult. It entails a lot of work. We have to come up with a project name, which we haven’t done yet. We have to have a risk management plan, a change management plan, a quality management plan, and a project charter. All of which is going to take careful planning and a lot of research. Hopefully we will be able to come to the same conclusions on how this should be laid out, financed and implemented. I think we have a pretty good group of people, Clinton, Stephanie, I, and Said I think. I’m confident that Mr. Swope will give us all the help we’ll need. Also I’m so glad this is the last quarter, the end is near. I can’t wait to graduate. Date: 12/22/2014 Day: Monday Time: 10:45 pm I’m feeling better about this project, now that we got some understanding of how it’s supposed to go. Clinton and Stephanie were no-shows so Said, John, and I started on the Project. We had to get the charter project started, which we did. I really don’t know how this is going to work out but hopefully it’s for the best. Christmas is a few days off, planning on going to my sister’s for dinner. Other than that no plans. I am looking forward to the time away from...

...protagonists — and that, as I usually took pains to point out, was wrong. (Why did a movie like Cry Freedom, featuring Denzel Washington as the slain anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko, need to have a crusading white journalist played by Kevin Kline as its hero? Answer: It didn’t.) More recently, I was shocked that art-house audiences could have fallen for the finger-pointing sanctimony of Mike Leigh’s Secrets & Lies (1996) — a movie that basically pulled the same ploy as Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967), springing a (saintly) black visitor on a racially insensitive household in order to get viewers to shed a tear of sympathy and, at the same time, to flex a muscle of moral superiority. It’s no surprise, really, that The Help, the adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s 2009 novel that opened big out of the starting gate, has, in some quarters, been socked with that kind of criticism. On paper, at least, The Help sounds exactly like the kind of well-meaning but backward, “progressive” yet pious movie that Hollywood, by now, should perhaps have outgrown. It’s set in the early civil...

...cotton shift patterned with oversize daisies. Her shoes matched the petals and her purse, which was black-and-yellow striped, hung over her shoulder, buzzing the flowers like a lazy bumblebee. She handed in her claim check, accepted her garments, and then expressed gratitude for what she considered to be fast and efficient service. “You know,” she said, “people talk about Raleigh but it isn’t really true, is it?” The Korean man nodded, the way you do when you’re a foreigner and understand that someone has finished a sentence. He wasn’t the owner, just a helper who’d stepped in from the back, and it was clear he had no idea what she was saying. “My sister and I are visiting from out of town,” the woman said, a little louder now, and again the man nodded. “I’d love to stay awhile longer and explore, but my home, well, one of my homes is on the garden tour, so I’ve got to get back to Williamsburg.” I was eleven years old, yet still the statement seemed strange to me. If she’d hoped to impress the Korean, the woman had obviously wasted her breath, so who was this information for? “My home, well, one of my homes”; by the end of the day my mother and I had repeated this line no less than fifty times. The garden tour was unimportant, but the first part of her sentence brought us great pleasure. There was, as indicated by the comma, a pause between the words “home” and “well,” a brief moment in which she’d decided, Oh, why not? The following word— “one”—had blown...

He noticed that Sid's face was a bit moist; he seemed short of breath. "Going great," Sid replied, smiling and giving NMO's VP of sales and marketing a little salute. "Hey, did Terry happen to speak with you?" "Uh, yes," Bill said. "She put your résumé and everything in the system. I'm supposed to be interviewing candidates over the next month or so.” "Terrific," Sid said. "Well, I hope you'll keep me in mind." "Sure, Sid," Bill responded, turning to stare at his computer screen. "I'll keep you posted." He's a good guy, Bill thought, as Sid continued down the corridor. You can't blame him for coming by to help his cause. Or maybe it was the deli tray that had lured Sid down this hallway? A vendor had treated the production group to lunch that day, and there were sandwiches and cookies left over for the rest of the staff. Almost as soon as that notion entered his head, Bill rebuked himself for it. He leaned back and sighed, not happy about the decision he would have to make. A ten-year veteran of NMO and a mainstay of the pensions marketing group, Sid had always been a good, consistent worker. As a product specialist, he was an invaluable resource to the salespeople who called on chief investment officers, treasurers, and others making the decisions about employee retirement...

Elizabeth was attractive and bright, and right away she hooked up with one of the city's eligible bachelors. The question remains, is this a company we want to own? Tim was 42. A well-liked and respected banker, who made about two million a year. They met one evening, in typical New York fashion, at a gallery opening. Like it? Yes, actually I think it's quite interesting. What? I feel like I know you. Oh, doubtful. I just moved here from London. Really? That's my favorite city. It is? Absolutely. It was love at first sight. You know, I think perhaps I have met you somewhere before. For two weeks they snuggled... went to romantic restaurants... had wonderful sex... and shared the most intimate secrets. One day, he took her to a house he saw in the New York Times. How about if we start at the top? There are four bedrooms upstairs. Do you have any children? Not yet. That day Tim popped the question. Would you like to meet my folks Tues-day night? I'd love to. On Tuesday he called with some bad news. My mother's not feeling very well. Oh, gosh, I'm sorry. Can we take a rain check? Of course. Tell your mum I hope she feels better. When she hadn't heard from him for two weeks, she called. Tim, it's Elizabeth. That's an awfully long rain check. He said he was up to his ears and that he'd call the next day. He never did call... Bastard. She told me one day over coffee. I don't understand...

COMMUNITY CENTER - YASMINE’S DANCE STUDIO - DAY 1 The community center is an old run down building with two floors and several different rooms. Built in the 50’s, it looks like it hasn't been kept up or painted in years. Water spots and old creaky floors line the hallway. The center is housed in a state funded facility with several other volunteer operations. Juanita’s free clinic and Yasmine’s Rhythms, a dance studio, are two of them. We enter the dance studio where Yasmine is dancing alone. We see soft shots of her hands and feet dancing about the room. The fabric from her yellow leotard move gracefully in the wind as she dances to the sound of a solo piano. The slow speed of the film catches her face in the light from the huge old dirty window.

...What do you mean? What did Hamlet do? Queen: He was acting crazy! He was mad as hell. He apparently heard something behind the curtains and thought it was a rat so he pulled out his knife and stabbed it. The rat turned out to be Polonius! King: What?! Well, well, well.. what should we do now?! We were supposed to keep an eye on him and now look what happened… We can’t let anyone know about this. Where is he? Queen: He took the Polonius’s body with him. But please don’t be too harsh on him. He’s my only son. I think he regrets what he has done. King: Gertrude, you don’t understand. We need to send Hamlet away before anyone finds out about this. Rosencrantz! Guildenstern! Come in! [Enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN] Listen to me, you two.

...Dad has a new job, which means a new area, a new house and worst of all, a new school. Sadly I finished unpacking yesterday so I'm going to school today, why can't I stay home again? "Scarlet! Come down or you'll miss breakfast!" My mum calls from downstairs; I take one more look at my choice of outfit before going to the kitchen and eating my breakfast. "Where's dad?" I look up at my mum to see her over happy face, how can she be so happy about this? "He's gone to work; a different job means a different schedule." I don't question anymore as I finish my food, kiss my mum and little sister and run out the door. I get to school and head to the principal’s office, the woman at the desk lets me in and the principal stares me down. "Welcome Scarlet, here is you new class schedule, I have also assigned a buddy to help you get around the school." Before I know what's happening I'm out the office and facing a boy a little taller than me. "Hey." Man I'm awkward around new people, he doesn't look up as he whispers a small hello and walks off. I run after him and silently follow into a class room, he sits down and I get the feeling he doesn't like me. Too bad, the only open seat is next to him, I walk over and the teacher starts talking about random stuff. As the teachers going on and on I decide its best to at least have my 'buddy' half like me, so I write a note and slide it over to him, luckily he has a look and writes back. Me: what's your name? Him: Ben, yours? Me: Scarlet...
