Apart from being known as the vehicle that started off baby Drake, baby Nina Dobrev, and baby Shenae Grimes’ respective careers in the entertainment industry, the Degrassi television franchise is also known for being home to dozens of dynamic fictional high-schoolers. Degrassi: Next Class, the latest installment in the celebrated Canadian franchise – and the first to air on Netflix – is no different; like its predecessors, it sports a horde of young characters, some captivating and some that could stand to be a little … better fleshed out. To help you understand the distinction, here is a definitive ranking of the female Degrassi: Next Class characters, from worst to best: 9. Yael Baron We don’t know a whole lot about Yael, but what we do know isn’t super …show more content…
Lola Pacini Lola can be kind of silly, but she makes it work for her and – more than that – she makes it cute! It’s super hard not to love the way she looks ... and the fact that she loves the way she looks. 4. Esme Song Like Yael, Esme’s a bit of a mystery – but she’s one the Degrassi: Next Class writers need to get to the bottom of sooner rather than later! She’s so, so bad for Miles, but she’s so, so good at being bad that you can’t help but find her fascinating. 3. Goldi Nahir Speaking of people that we really need to see more of: Goldi Nahir, ladies and gentlemen! Goldi’s been kind of one-note this season – we know she’s all about feminism, but we don’t really know anything else about her – and she’s been fun to watch anyway. She needs more screen time (and actual storylines)! 2. Grace Cardinal Grace is the kind of cool that you wish you’d been in high school. 1. Maya Matlin Maya is the kind of cool that you wish you could be, period. The way she stood up for herself to (Grace and) Zoe was amazing – and the way she stood up for herself to Zig was brilliant. God knows she’d always been too good for him, but getting to watch her figure that out for herself, too, was so incredibly
After experiencing a traumatic car crash, Michelle, the protagonist of director Dan Trachtenberg’s film 10 Cloverfield Lane, wakes up in an underground bunker owned by a man named Howard. Howard claims to have saved her from a widespread chemical attack that has contaminated the air, with his bunker being the only place to take refuge for the next couple of years. Yet as the film progresses, Howard’s controlling and threatening demeanor eventually brings Michelle to escape, allowing her to come across the actuality of the situation outside the isolated bunker. Throughout the production, Trachtenberg arranges close frames, manipulates the camera’s focus, and chooses specific lighting to create an ominous tone that mystifies and disturbs viewers.
The film Friday Night Lights, directed by Peter Berg explains a story about a small town in Odessa, Texas that is obsessed to their high school football team (Permian Panthers) to the point where it’s strange. Boobie Miles (Derek Luke) is an cocky, star tailback who tore his ACL in the first game of the season and everyone in the town just became hopeless cause their star isn’t playing for a long time. The townspeople have to now rely on the new coach Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton), to motivate the other team members to be able to respect, step up their game, and improve quickly. During this process, racism has made it harder to have a success and be happy and the team has to overcome them as a family.

The first character that stood out the most for me was Peter also known as “The Boy” because his character changed the most from the beginning to the end of the show. At the beginning of the performance, we saw a hopeless, nameless, and friendless orphan who expressed a lot of anger and frustration not only through his words but through his physical actions. I could

When I found out I qualified to be a candidate for the NJHS, I knew I had to take this chance. This group is made up of people who depict leadership, character, citizenship, academic success, and service and I would love to join. These characteristics wouldn't just be valuable for a candidate to have, but for everyone to have to exceed in life. If I were to be in the National Junior Honor Society, it would give me an opportunity to ameliorate my future and motivate me to do better.
When Lila feels guilty about the young pregnant woman getting shot, Eve was right there to tell her that she shouldn’t feel bad, everyone was getting what they deserved.
Spirituals: African American spirituals are a key contribution to the creation of the initial genre of jazz. African Americans used spirituals during the earliest turmoil of slavery. These spirituals were used as songs to sing during labor and an initial way of communication for the Underground Railroad. These African American folk sounds mixed with gospel hymns were sun fused with instruments such as the harmonicas, banjos, and other instruments that could primarily be found. This initial form of the music started to separate itself from the gospel rendition. This mixture of different styles of music fused and gave birth to such things as minstrel shows, ragtime, and other forms of music. The most important that spirituals truly helped develop, was Jazz. Spirituals were the first true form of Negro expression in the form of music. Marshall W. Steams, Professor of English Literature at Hunter College states that “The spiritual was created out of nowhere by a sort of spontaneous combustion of Negro’s genius” (125). This mixture of hymns and instrumental instruction took form into one of the most versatile genres known to date, Jazz.
In the visuals above it is apparent that both are South African TV news broadcasts linking to theme of oppression and minority over majority. There are many similarities that are seen in these visuals. Both of these visuals have a portrait of two very different objects, the one on the left is of an oppressed alien. The one on the right is a man named P.W. Botha who was an oppressor, dictator and cruel president of South Africa during apartheid. So one visual shows the oppressed in District 9 and the other shows the oppressor during apartheid.
The “Bad Girls Club” display groups of women who are obsess with drinking and violent behavior to handle their situations, shining the light on negative stereotypes, defining a “bad girls” and the influencing young girls in today’s society. The way these girls act on TV is the way the media portray women as vulnerable and in need of male attention. By depicting women solely as physical objects, we rarely see them as powerful. Women have often seen each other as competition in many realms of their lives and so have become adept at quickly sizing up their female competition as to what makes a women’s woman (Kramer 210).The show 's has a foundation of seven women with personal, social and psychological problems, who consider their self to be

Student success during prepharmacy and pharmacy school seems to be more focused on a students success before they enter a professional pharmacy school. Throughout this article I learned that a lot of these students don't get the perfect 4.00 GPA that I was expecting. majority are achieving about a 3.7 GPA, while the minnimum schools require is a 2.00 GPA. Schools take into account course repeats very seriously. Many students that managed to get into pharmacy school still ended up having to repeat courses during their undergrad stage.
