At first when he signed on to do The King and I he was under the impression that “he only had to do (that) one ballet” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg 46) but he did end up choreographing many other dance sequences like “Getting to Know You” or “The March of the Siamese Children”. “Robbins planned the scene to delight both Anna and the audience. Some carry out their duties in exemplary fashion, which highlighted the different ones and the tiniest provide a high degree of adorable and some concern they’ll screw up” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg
In the book "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen we are confronted with a character named August who acts as the antagonist to the lovers and the circus workers. While August seems to have a charming, gentle and inviting side to him, it is far more likely you will catch him in a fit of rage beating his wife, abusing an animal, or treating the people around him like trash. Throughout the story his actions are dismissed by excuses that he has a medical condition that causes his rage-filled, paranoid schizophrenic actions, but soon even these excuses will not hide what is ultimately true character. His anger driven actions are responsible for his unpleasant demise and no amount of outward charm can cover up the beast in his soul. We can evaluate his true character based on three points, the way he treated the circus animals, the way he treated the people around him, and most notably the way he treated his wife Marlena.
Something that was different in this was the dancers spoke and made sounds as if they were creating their own music, but it just made everyone in the audience laugh. The movements were contemporary and modern but it was hard to pay attention to the movements. The next performance “Tap It Out” was really fun. Traditional tap dance hand and arm movements were used with fan type movements exaggerated fingers. The dancers used the whole stage poured their energy all over it.
Maybe he is going to profess his love in front of all the workers at the Centre, and then Lenina will be really happy, but also embarrassed because an “uncivilized” person likes her. Dialectical Journal #39 “…afraid that she might be suffering from one of the few remaining infectious diseases.” This shows that there are still flaws in the system. Diseases can spread. In our world diseases can change rapidly, perhaps a disease wipes out the entire population except for a select few people., and the government collapse, and they can start anew. This also suggests that because there are flaws in the system, the rumor about Bernard could be true.
Because Grendel is and intelligent being, he is tempted by the art. However, he feels that the “sweet lure of the harp … mock[s]” him (Gardner 48). Thinks this because he, like the dragon, feels the world is meaningless. Because Grendel cannot and will no accept the art, he is beaten by the good of the world that does accept it. Grendel lacks the artistic view and he forces “meaning upon the world by violence” (EBSCO 1).
Initially, they are unsure of each other, and of just how much they can share with each other, but as the story unfolds, we see more of a friendship beginning to evolve, for example George defends Candy when Carlson is threatening to kill his dog. Also, when George disapproves of Candy and Lennie spending time with Crooks, we see an interesting authority from George over the other men, and Candy is ‘crestfallen’ when George scolds him. ‘Well you guys get outta here. Jesus, seems like I can’t go away for a minute.’ This shows the power George holds over them, perhaps because he is the leader almost of the dream, and they all greatly trust him. In comparison, the relationship with George and Curley’s wife is almost the opposite to his friendship with Candy, as there is no trust or ease between them.
By using “paralyzed by wonder” Abbey must mean that the dance was so fantastic that it captivated him and kept him unable to move (23). It shows his amazement because, though one has a negative connotation which suggests a negative feeling, and the other is positive, they are used to express an action that was so great that he could not stop watching, no matter how bad it was to invade one's privacy. Abbey could not help himself when it came to the snakes and he voiced his shame of himself invading their privacy, yet did not cease his observance. The contrast of the negative and positive connotations of words parallels the contrast of Abbey feeling shameful, yet continuing to watch. In the end, his awe and wonderment were so strong that they prevailed
No matter if it was good or bad, they both went through it together. In conclusion Steinback views/ viewed friendship needed for friendship because this book “Of Mice and Men” was based on all about friendship. Geroege ended up shooting/killing Lennie thnking it was for the best. Even though George probaly didn’t want to do it he did it for Lennie so that he could be in peace. Maybe he was tired of seeing Lennie hurt and just not really enjoying life as much because of his disability.
When Gene went he realized that Leper was Away With Out Leave and the war had caused him to go insane. Leper’s enlistment made the concept of the war easier for Gene to cope with. The friendship between Gene and Leper was probably the least significant relationship for Gene of all. Brinker was jealous over the quick bonding between Gene and Finny, so Brinker looked for a way to revenge Gene by having a trial and forcing Finny to see that Gene really did cause him to fall. Leper gained the respect of Gene and the others, when he enlisted with the ski troopers.
Truly, it is a horrible story with gore and cannibalism but very similar to the story with animals. The only difference is that people played the role of the animals of the first story. The men more readily find the second story plausible, but do not want to believe it because it contains people eating people, gore, and violence different than that of the first story. Humans are favored and valued over the animals. Once Pi finishes telling his story to the insurance men, he asks them “which is the better story, the story with the animals or the story without the animals” (344).
