Sandy experiences the negative emotion of sadness after Danny’s behavior around his buddies is far from the Danny she met on the beach over the summer. Sadness expressions can be seen through crying, redness in the whites of the eyes due to crying, slumped posture, and slow movements. We see her crying outside of Frenchie’s house while singing “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” In the song, she expresses her feelings about Danny, her heart’s hopeless devotion to him despite what her mind is telling her to do. From there, Sandy engages in situation-focused strategies to manage her sadness. She keeps her distance from Danny and tries to develop a relationship with one of the school’s jocks. She is purposefully changing the situation she is in in order to avoid continued sadness. The outcome of the sadness is positive when she and Danny end up together. By the end of the film, Sandy and Danny realize they would do anything for the other, including changing their wardrobes at the end to try to win the other back. Danny experiences jealousy when Sandy begins going out with the school jock. He resents the jock for the loss of Sandy’s attention and

vigorous art form”. This statement by Miller (2007, p. 8) suggests that American musical theatre is still alive and abundant in today’s society. This essay seeks to support this claim by using three aspects of the ‘ecosystems of music’ framework (Schipper, 2009) to determine if musical theatre does indeed prosper in modern society. Specifically, this essay discusses the involvement of musicians and communities, the relevance of the musical contexts in today’s society, how it is disseminated and how it
"Ms. McMulkin, this is Alex. That essay--- how long can it be?" "Why, uh, not less than 600 words." He sounded a little surprised. I'd forgotten it was late at night. "Can it be longer?" "Certainly, Alex, as long as you want it." "Thanks," I said and hung up. I sat down and picked up my

Towards the end of the book, it states that Ponyboy started his essay with “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two thing on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home,” In the beginning of the book, the same sentence pops up, so you can inferred that this whole book is the essay
Throughout the book there are many satellite themes and issues. The book is known as a coming of age for adolescence. When I first read this book it was in my 8th grade Language Arts class. The first thing that came to my mind was “hey, isn’t that the movie with that Cruise guy”. I had no clue that the story of Ponyboy Curtis would touch my heart in such a way. I had been going through so much that year, I felt as if I was Ponyboy. Middle school starts were kids finally come to a realization of

This story is about a group of kids that are called Greasers, because they live on the East side of town, which is the lower income part of the city. They all slick back their hair with grease, and that’s where the name Greasers came from. Ponyboy Curtis is the main character in this story, and he has 2 brothers, one named Darry, and the other named Sodapop. One night Johnny and Ponyboy are out at the park, and a group of Socs, the nickname
I couldn’t think of anything to write for english. Broken glass? What kind of a theme is that? Was I out of my mind? I knew I was failing, but I just couldn’t think of anything. I thought of a lot of things. I thought of Dally and his horse, I thought of Johnny, I thought of the Soc, but yet I still couldn’t come up with a theme. It wasn’t until Sodapop was a wreck about Sandy that I finally had a breakthrough. But first I needed some new paper because I drew horses all over the last one. But, then
The stereotypical valley girl would have to be one of my longstanding favourite characters in both television and film. With the valley girl known for often being the quintessential popularity queen, it may not seem so obvious to include the Buffy we know today as part of the valley girl hall of fame. But one only has to go back to the 1992 film, Buffy the Vampire Slayer to observe the full extent of Buffy’s bleach blonde valley girl roots. To place Buffy within the larger category of the valley

Final Essay Learning about the various fields this semester of Anthropology has opened my mind all about humans and why we do what we do. I also learned historical information about early human ancestors that have changed my thoughts on when life began for humans.

Choosing my Extended Essay topic I wanted to investigate novels that depict stories in which we can see how exposed women are to the will of men surrounding them. I believe that as being woman I can learn from the way these characters overcome their limitations and become independent, fully liberated from their barriers. When I first saw the movie “Precious” (based on Sapphire’s “Push”) I was shocked at how unprotected the heroine,
