uncommon nor new but the way West includes her feminist values into Jenny without making it central to the story is fascinating. Up to this point in history, coverage of a war had never been read about as it was during this period. Because of this advancement in getting news out had improved drastically from the last war, people back home were more aware of what was occurring from reading a newspaper without having to wait for letters from their loved ones out on the front lines.

Recently, I went to go see a production of the 2014 musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Lincoln Way East. The show itself was composed by Alan Menken (Hairspray) with lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin) and book by Peter Parnell, though it is originally based of Victor Hugo’s novel with the same title. Now, I’ve seen a good handful of musicals as well as having been in a few, but as far as production quality goes, this takes the cake. Starting as a tour of the Notre Dame de Paris, the
The West is a very big part of American culture, and while the myth of the West is much more enticing than the reality of the west, it is no doubt a very big part of America. We’re constantly growing up playing games surrounded by the West such as cowboys and Indians and we’re watching movies that depict the cowboy to be a romanticized hero who constantly saves dames in saloons and rides off into the sunset.

West African music is characterized by vibrant and hypnotic tempos. For West African peoples, the role of music is fundamental for communicating with their ancestors, their gods, their loved ones who passed away. In other words, music is a direct mean of entering in contact with the “other world”. For instance, repetitive rhythms and dance are often performed together to enter in a “trance” state. The way rhythms and timbres change and evolve in West African music testify of expressing values and

empires forever. There were many issues that created the Great Schism between the east and the west both before 1054 and after. It would appear from the documents that the east had more issues with how the west was conducting and controlling religion through the governing of the church.

original inquiry, as stated in the preface of the book, was to “study a slum, and to study the way of life of a low-income population” (Gans 1962). He hoped to understand why the West End was being demolished, and how the people of the West End were to blame for the destruction of their homes.

thought it was West Nile, but it took her a month to convince the doctors to run the test.

Eventually our family doctor was convinced to run the test and seven days later we had the diagnosis of West Nile Virus. After

Just as people have fought for control of resources and for dominance of institutions and values, so the West has been an arena where stories have contested to command that country's meaning and thus to influence how the West is treated."
