Grease The Movie Figurative Language

Ava Buras played the role of Annie Cannon. She was my favorite actress because she had the best emotion and was absolutely perfect for that role. Sarah Dean played the role Henrietta Leavitt and she portrayed it amazingly. She used her emotions to sell the character and she accomplished that. Jessie Duplantis played the role of Williamina Fleming and she also did amazing. She used hand gestures and face to portray this character perfectly. Katie Kitchen played the role of Margaret Leavitt and she had the best facial expressions. In my opinion she had the very best emotions and I think this because I really felt like I was actually watching real life. As a whole, all the characters did an amazing job and they all had very good emotions.

No matter what lifestyle you’re born into you can still be a better person. Some people are born into terrible lives and some lives become worse. In The Outsiders by S.E. Hilton most of the gang’s lives become worse. The gang faces the other gang and murder takes over gang member’s lives. They face other gang’s and the police. They even face the chance of death and their own families not caring. However, even with all of these issues so to speak, the gang still sticks together and lives their same lifestyle. In The Outsiders the author uses figurative language, both sides of the characters, and a lot of description to show how the characters still push on through tough times.

The boys go through the same kind of situations teenagers endure nowadays, and their reactions are as expected. Their internal journey runs parallel to their emotional growth, as well as their language changes at the same time as they mature. The events narrated are true to life. Sexual identity is not longer a taboo, and teenagers are more susceptible than any other age group to challenges and doubts about it. The boys' journey into adulthood is entertaining, sweet, and sometimes emotional. Young readers will easily identify with the theme of the story: family life, friendship, love, and quest for self-identity. The author's style is fresh, simple, and straightforward. There are many pages of pure dialogue that contrast with others filled with narrative, which produces a nice balance the reader will surely appreciate. Even though homosexuality is an important factor in the story (Ari and Dante, Aunt Ophelia and her partner), the author avoids all kinds of stereotyping and presents his characters as real people with real problems. Nevertheless, this is an element to take into consideration when recommending this

First, I’d like to commend all the actresses and actors on their excellent performances and voices, but, as always, there were some that stood out more than others. I thought Hannah Eckert and Joe Campbell, playing Jimmy and Billie, did and excellent job working with each other. Their duets were beautifully sung and had great synchronization, especially during the song ’S Wonderful which had them, perfectly synchronized, dancing up and down the stairs in what I believed to be a difficult dance number. Also, I’d like to comment on Tony Frenchu and Melanie Bratsch performances, who were clearly the audiences favorite, and mine, due to the amount of cheering and the standing ovation they received. Tony was perfect as cookie with his tall frame

This book has hugely important in expanding the national conversation about diverse gender expression.

As a child, we’re presented with ample information that is all relatively new to us. The knowledge acquired in childhood is given to us by our parents and relatives. This allows us to grow, but the influence of our family is what shapes our culture and beliefs. Although our parents believe this is the best culture to follow, we often find ourselves questioning it. This creates complexity within the acceptance of being part of one’s culture. Shyam Selvadurai and Marjane Satrapi, use this theme within their respective novels, Funny Boy and Persepolis to demonstrate the transcendence from innocence to experience. Both main characters are introduced as children that go through an evolution to reach adulthood. Culture challenges the characters
