On Friday, April 15, 2016, I attended the Blue Man performance at the Mansfield Theater in the Great Falls Civic Center. I attended the Blue Man Group performance as part of a babysitting gig and I am sure glad I did. I was not quite sure what to expect at first, but I did have a blast! Three bizarre, gifted, and lively, bold and blue characters, take the audience through an outstanding and impressive sensory experience. The three blue men Kalen Allmandinger, Daniel Carter, and Adam Erodossy are

Black women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were faced with hardships unique to both black men and white women. Here was a group of individuals who had to fight for their rights not only because of their race, but their gender as well (Bailey 2022). This resulted in the silencing of black women’s voices and the roles they had to choose from consisted mainly of caring for their own household while making a meager wage working in other households (Boomer 2024). A new opportunity
"You idiot!" A man shouted. "I said 'screwdriver', not whatever the hell this is!" His throat was becoming awfully sore from shouting at a younger man searching through the toolbox for a screwdriver, he was grabbing everything but the screwdriver. A green skinned alien named Sour sat in a seat which reminded him of the 'timeout chair' in kindergarten, which he called Jail. The last thing Sour could remember was that he was knocked out, someone had hit him in the back of the head with a hammer. The
Rhythm and blues, also known as R&B, is something that I really enjoy. I am a singer and along with country music, R&B is my favorite thing to sing. With rhythm and blues, there is a song for every emotion, so most of the time the songs can be very relatable. The songs have a variety of subjects like sex, work, and even drinking. In this paper I will briefly discuss how rhythm and blues started, how it evolved into today’s music and why I like it so much. “Rhythm and blues is a combination of soulful
When the Blues was introduced, Rock N’ Roll also came about. During the early WWII years, many black people migrated to Chicago from the Mississippi area because that’s where the jobs were. They would make more money in a week in Chicago than they did where they had come from. All blues musicians, amazingly enough, came from about 100 miles of each other. Muddy Waters was, no doubt, one of the top Electric Delta Blues singers. He sold the Blues; he felt absolutely everything in his music. Some even

By doing this exercise with her students, the teacher is changing the world. If a group of ten people went through this exercise, then they learn that everyone is the same and they stop discriminating based on race. Those ten people later go on and tell their children, friends, and family about this exercise and they may also have a change

reason theses students were displaying the flag that much was because a fellow classmate had passed away a week or two before. The family made t-shirts and decals in memory of their son. The design was a Confederate flag that had the date that the young man died and under the flag the shirt stated “Heritage not hate.”. A simple design caused this much trouble. The students that were suspended were called racist and prejudice. How could a shirt and decal that was made to remember a loved one be considered
Man and Nature in The Blue Hotel and The Open Boat Stephen Crane uses a massive, ominous stove, sprawled out in a tiny room and burning with "god-like violence," as a principal metaphor to communicate his interpretation of the world. Full of nearly restrained energy, the torrid stove is a symbol of the burning, potentially eruptive earth to which humans "cling" and of which they are a part. As a literary naturalist, Crane interpreted reality from a Darwinian perspective, and saw the earth

During this time period, blues music made an appearance and its popularity grew immensely.

Ultimately the genre,

The first shot of the roses over the picket fence and the title track “Blue Velvet” establishes the setting (Lumberton) as a typical suburban town. The camera starts on a bright blue sky with birds chirping and flying by and then tilts down to bright red
Blue Whales The Blue whale is the largest creature of the sea, in fact, it is the largest creature known to man. Contrary to what most people think, even though Blue whales live in the sea, they are mammals. They breathe air, have their babies born alive and can live anywhere from 30 to 70 years. The Blue whale is a baleen whale, and instead of having teeth, Blue whales have around 300-400 baleen plates in their mouths. They fall under the category of the rorquals, which are the largest
Once the girls finished, they headed to the gym for recess. Jaden, Elise, and Megan all headed to their other group of friends, and Riley went to hang out with Juliana.

segregationist ideals. Mississippi history is enough to give many the blues. In fact, the Blues style music originated in Mississippi and gravitated outward from there. .Mississippi history and Blues history are intertwined.
