This lead his wife to become depressed and overwhelmed and she committed suicide, but before she died the doctors managed to save her baby who was named Mandy (Hit Girl).
Ashley Prunty Cassandra Bishop English 290 February 22, 2013 The movie Footloose tells a story about a rambunctious teenager named Ren McCormick who moves from the big city of Boston to the small town of Bomont to live with his aunt and uncle after his mother dies from cancer. The small town of Bomont is a very religious town that set in their ways when it comes to doing things. They made dancing and playing loud music illegal after a tragic car accident, that killed five local teenagers. From the very beginning Ren begins to encounters many problems, but in the midst of everything he somehow grabs the attention of the city council and towns people, all while starting a love romance with a girl named Ariel, who happens to be the preachers daughter. The original and the remake of Footloose are alike in many ways, but when it comes to the visual work, the two differ.
Medea, by Euripedes. The tragedy starts with Jason’s betrayal to Medea, his Barberian wife, who to revenge herself kills her own children and Glauce, new wife of Jason. In the Exodos, Jason returns to his old house in the attempt to save his boys, but he learns by the chorus that they are already dead, murdered by Medea.

POWER : The theme of objective power – free of a subjective judgement from the reader- is largely developed throughout the Exodos.
He is now twenty five years old and happily married to his high school sweetheart, whose mother convicted him of rape. Unable to find a job, living in a house where he is not allowed to be within a hundred feet of a school or children, and also unable to find a decent job. Is this fair? Many people will agree that the statutory rape laws are soundly aimed at protecting immature girls from seduction. The consensual sex laws that are in place now are harsh and the court should take into consideration what this conviction will have on this young adult’s life.

The first point I would like to address is her role as Blanche and how her role in the story relates back the Code. As the movie progresses and we learn more about Blanche and her life back in Laurel and Belle Reve, we find out that her fiance commits suicide after being ridiculed by Blanche upon discovering that he is a homosexual. In addition, we also learn that she frequently had affairs with men and male students of hers, which led to her being fired from her position as an English teacher. Finally, there is the infamous "Rape Scene" climax between Stanley, portrayed by Marlin Brando, and Blanche once she begins to break down after her lies are revealed to be just that, lies. While the homosexuality mentionings were cut out of the film (I watched the unedited cut) after being brought up to the review board, the rest of Blanche's history and especially the Rape scene were shockingly greenlit into the film, with the creator of Streetcar and playwright Tennessee Williams, standing his ground against Breen, stating that, in regards to the Rape scene specifically, "without this pivotal scene, the film would lose all meaning", which is true, because Blanche as a
