told the stories of the dancers in the show rather
than letting the audience just watch the dancers
perform. A Chorus Line, a musical by Michael
Bennett, was very popular when it made its day
view and continues to be shown today to marvel its
audience. Michael Bennetts inspiration for the

Imagery is an important-perhaps the most
important-device used to communicate meaning in
poetry. Where other forms of literature can
sometimes be over a thousand pages long, poetry is
usually much shorter. The poet must get his or her
point across in only a few pages, and one of the
best ways to condense a long story (or message) is
to use imagery. The possible uses for symbolism
and imagery in poetry are endless, and a talented
poet can use a single image to make many different
statements. An e...

Young People Drug Free

Weve all seen them before. Maybe at a bus stop, in
our schools, or at the coffee shop. They look odd
enough to frighten a circus clown, but for some
reason, they always smile when you look their way.
Perhaps its that their hair is the color of the
sunset or that their pants look like they could
house a small family. It could be that their
headphones seem permanently glued to their ears
and that theyre never afraid to groove on the
sidewalk. Whatever the reason, you know that they

When the mention of the name Rudolph Valentino
happens, it is mostly likely that the response
received would be, The Great Lover and The Sheik.
Valentino's jaw-dropping appearance and great
looks aside, he was also a very fine comedian,
something that very few people realize. It was
through Valentino that the now very common concept
of hot actors such as Tom Cruise came about.

Years Of My Life Four Years

When I want something in life, I know that it
usually does not come easy. Hard work and
dedication is involved. For the past eleven years
of my life, I have been a full time dancer. I
started tying those jazz shoes onto my feet at age
six, never thinking that one day they would come
off. I still will slip them on once in a while,
when I get an urge to prance around in front of
the mirror, or attend a small dance audition.
After my third year of dancing at my studio, I was
definitely craving the ...
