...I was grateful for the woman who did it for me, a lawyer type who wedged herself between Frankie and his mother. ¨How could you treat him like this? The poor thing is terrified! Dios mío, this is disgusting!¨ Frankie´s mother retorted, ¨Don´t you tell me how to raise my son, lady!¨ ¨Maybe you shouldn't be raising him,¨ the woman said, and it seemed to get through to Frankie. For the rest of the short ride, as he tried to block out the sound bashing in both sides of his head, he kept repeating the same words, ¨Be with Dad.¨ His mother didn't hear him until she was hauling him off of me, and her reply echoed back. ¨You most certainly will. He's the only one who's willing to put up with this, anyway.¨ I left the station without him, but my heart of wires and steel broke for him. His seat on me still looks wrong with anyone else in it, but I would not change it for even one more of his drawings. Frankie´s father offered him something I never could: safety. I can only carry and be left, and it's all for the best. The purposeful, the lost, and everybody in between will leave, just as they do in the world above. And one day, long after Frankie and I are gone, the sun will leave,...

...I was scared to death. After two hours sitting in a chair tied up, a German sergeant and two soldiers walked in. They were asking me what our plans were and where the president was at the time. I would speak so they tortured me. At first, they burned me with a cigar which burned a lot. I still wouldn’t speak so they stepped their game up. They brought out a knife and started to cut me. It was so painful but i still wouldn’t speak. Then the final tear was one of the worst pains I have ever felt. They cut off half of both of my pinkies and then burned the open wound with the sergeant’s cigar. It was so painful but I still wouldn’t speak. They then gave up and left me in the room without any food and very little water. It...

...What’s Going On? From the moment I heard the song, What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye, it became one of my favorite lyrically appeasing songs. Written by Renaldo Benson, Al Cleveland and Gaye himself, this song reflects on certain incidents of police brutality and war horror stories. Some of the song refers to an police brutality incident witnessed by Renaldo “Obie” Benson in the People’s Park during a protest held by anti-war activists in what was later called “Bloody Thursday”. Some of Marvin Gaye’s personal experiences were also reflected in this song; he had just lost his beloved duet partner Tammi Terrell to a three year battle with a brain tumor, and his brother, Frankie, had just returned from the Vietnam War with stories “that moved Gaye to tears”. Marvin Gaye sought a channel in which he could express his sorrow and frustration with society, which is how this song came about. This song was produced in the 70s and in Motown, which means that the song definitely had a jazz and gospel tone. The blending between the music of the time period and the issues of the time period caused the song to become a great hit. It topped the Hot Soul Singles chart for 5 weeks and became number two on the Billboard Top 100 chart. The song sold over 2 million copies causing it to become Marvin Gaye’s second most successful Motown song. The song focused on major seventh and minor seventh chords, and was developed using sounds of jazz, gospel and classical music orchestration. It was mainly viewed...

...Literary Devices and Terms Literary devices are specific language techniques which writers use to create text that is clear, interesting, and memorable. Alliteration - repeated consonant sound at the beginning of words or within words; used to establish mood and rhythm in a story; true alliteration has three words beginning with the same sound (two words beginning with the same sound would be called alliterative) Examples: bucking bronco; miserable morning; Bed, Bath, and Beyond Allusion - a reference in one story to a well-known character or event from another story, history, or place Examples: the rise of the baseball team from last place to first was a real Cinderella story; at times teachers need the wisdom of Solomon to make decisions Ambiguity - when a single event or expression can mean two different things to two different people Example: When it is announced that another baby is on the way, Father remarks, “That could create some problems.” He means problems with money, but his young son thinks, “You’re right, dad! I don’t want to share my room and toys with anybody!” Analogy - comparing one thing to another very different thing in order to explain it better Examples: a school is like a garden, where children are lovingly raised and cared for; the rabbit shot from its hole like a rocket; the confetti fell like snow in a blizzard as the parade passed through the city streets (these three analogies are all written as similes) Aphorism - a brief...

...The Selma to Montgomery marches was three marches in 1965 that marked the political and emotional peak of the American civil rights movement. They grew out of the voting rights movement in Selma, Alabama, launched by local African-Americans who formed the Dallas County Voters League (DCVL). In 1963, the DCVL and organizers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) began voter-registration work. When white resistance to Black voter registration proved intractable, the DCVL requested the assistance of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, who brought many prominent civil rights and civic leaders to support voting rights. Planning the First March With civil rights activity blocked by Judge Hare's injunction, the DCVL requested the assistance of King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Three of SCLC's main organizers— Director of Direct Action and Nonviolent Education James Bevel, Diane Nash, and James Orange— had been working on Bevel's Alabama Voting Rights Project since late 1963, a project which King and the executive board of SCLC had not joined. When SCLC officially accepted Amelia Boynton's invitation to bring their organization to Selma, Bevel, Nash, Orange and others in SCLC began working in Selma in December 1964. They also worked in the surrounding counties along with the SNCC staff that had been active there since early 1963. The Selma Voting Rights Movement officially started on January 2, 1965...

...Jake McLinden Lighting Up the Darkness Many years of working construction for my father gave me skills that proved very useful for the work we did in Mississippi. Every summer since freshman year of high school, I have gone on a weeklong trip down to Mississippi with my church to help out those who are still struggling from the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, or those who simply don’t have the means to help themselves. The trip, organized by my father himself, usually consists of 50-70 high-school age teens and anywhere from 15-20 adult leaders that drive the vans we take to the worksites. On the long anticipated Sunday morning upon which we depart, we gather in the basement of St. Mary’s Church, most years around 4 am, depending on when our flight was, and then load onto the yellow school buses to make our commute Logan Airport in the wee hours of the morning. Wearing our matching mission trip t-shirts, our entire crew floods the baggage check and security lines in the airport with seas of people in whatever vibrant color of t-shirt was picked to be worn to the airport that year. After a quality airport breakfast from Dunks, we pack onto the plane and then were off to my favorite place in the world. Our group leaves little room for other passengers on the plane. Free margaritas were offered to the six passengers that were not with our group during my first trip by the sympathetic stewardesses for having to deal with us rowdy kids. Some years we were lucky enough...

...1. American Sport Movies There are few countries in the world in which sports permeate national life to the degree that it does in the United States. Sports are a big part of the fabric of American life. The centrality of sports in American life is amply reflected in the American cinema. For decades movie makers have successfully mined sports to produce some of the most inspiring, poignant, exciting and memorable American movies ever made. The genre of ‘Sport Movies’ established in the Fifties and the Sixties. At the very beginning it was hard to see it as an independent genre because there was a lot of mixture. There have been propaganda movies as well as comedies, dramas, gangster movies or even westerns combined with some sport scenes. So the movie industry defined three categories of sport movies. Category 1: movies in which the main part of the narration is about sport or an athlete Category 2: movies which tell the life story of an athlete Category 3: movies which use sport scenes to describe a special milieu In addition to that there are a lot of movies of another genre which use sport scenes to dramatise the story or to create a good suspense. The first sport movies were all about the so called American Myth of victory and glory. Fair competitions and the better athletes defeating the weaken. The fascination of sport inspiring the people was used to lure the public. Then in the eighties and nineties there have been made a lot of biographical movies...

...The year is 1959, a pivotal moment in American cultural history, when rock and roll was giving birth to the Sexual Revolution and everything in America culture was about to be turned upside down. Record companies were releasing more than a hundred singles every week and the country was about to explode. Grease, generally considered a trivial little musical about The Fabulous Fifties, is really the story of America’s tumultuous crossing over from the 50s to the 60s, throwing over repression and tradition for freedom and adventure (and a generous helping of cultural chaos), a time when the styles and culture of the disengaged and disenfranchised became overpowering symbols of teenage power and autonomy. Originally a rowdy, dangerous, over-sexed, and insightful piece of alternative theatre, Grease was inspired by the rule-busting success of Hair and shows like it, rejecting the trappings of other Broadway musicals for a more authentic, more visceral, more radical theatre experience that revealed great cultural truths about America. An experience largely forgotten by most productions of the show today. Like Hair before it and The Rocky Horror Show which would come a year later, Grease is a show about repression versus freedom in American sexuality, about the clumsy, tentative, but clearly emerging sexual freedom of the late 1950s, seen through the lens of the middle of the Sexual Revolution in the 1970s. It’s about the near carnal passion 1950s teenagers felt for their rock...
