Mayor Moody (Josh Moody) was hot on his campaign trail for governor but was working diligently trying to hide his secret affair with the Madam. If he didn't leave his wife for her, she would have a case of loose lips and tell it all.

Detective Aurora (Kay Larsen) has carried anger and resentment for the brothel since the day she was born. She was born there, her mother was ALLEGEDLY murdered here by the current madam. She has never known who her dad was. Her mother was a hoe after all.

    Not only is the subject matter cropped for modern day television but the supporting characters in the novel are remade to fit Winfrey’s impression of Their Eyes Were Watching God. Males who would not perceive to be the typical sex to gossip, partake in many female characteristics in the movie. Janie’s character is broadcast to be a voice to be reckoned with in the screenplay as a vital denotation of women’s entitlement and place in this world as more than just a caregiver. Winfrey portrays Janie as more than your typical women in this historic error in time, rebellious in the movie but soft spoken in the book shows two different versions of our character but they all show an ongoing change that is about to take place. “ De nigger woman is de mule uh de world so fur as Ah can see”...

  • My Dinner Party Paper

    1964 Words  | 4 Pages

    I chose Akbar the Mughal Emperor, Procopius, and Thomas Aquinas as my three to attend a dinner party. I knew I wanted to write about knowledge. Originally, I wanted to include the Queen of Sheba as a member of the dinner party, but I questioned whether I would be able to include enough about this character. My first choice was Thomas Aquinas, because he focused on reason as a way to acquire knowledge. This means that knowledge is internal for him. One section in the Summa Theologica is the “Gift of Knowledge”. I also wanted to play with Aquinas’ writing style. I chose Akbar because he invited so many diverse scholars to speak about a wide array of topics. I use his character to discuss the ways we use knowledge. My final choice was Procopius. I chose Procopius instead of the Queen of Sheba, so I could bring up how we present our knowledge and how our knowledge evolves. Procopius wrote The Secret History and the History of the Wars. These works have alternate views of Justinian, that evolved with events during that time period. My goal is to find a conclusion from these about the value of knowledge, how knowledge is used, and how knowledge is presented.
