Beige

I believe my participation grade should be an A, or somewhere in the 90’s range. When I filled out the rubric for myself I circled the exemplary box for five out of six of the categories. I circled the exemplary box for these categories because I strongly feel that I am a respectful and engaged student much more often than not. Obviously I am not perfect and I do not always display perfect behavior but I believe I display good behavior almost always. The only category I circled proficient for…

As the subway doors open, I am embraced with the aroma of sweat and grime. I walk out of the train car onto the dirt caked floor of Penn Station. My train whooshes by behind me like a comet. Above me comes a computer-generated voice letting me know where I am. The station is a sea of people. The loud hum of a thousand conversations buzzes in the air. As I walk, I see news stands, fast food places, and small marts. Raggedy homeless people are scattered across the station, while there are also…

overall journey. For example, in stanza 7 in the poem “Fish Cheeks” it says, “After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside." She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt in beige tweed. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame." This means, you will always be that…

neat buns, and I envision the mean in white shirts, boots with neutral colored boots and pants. These costumes are inexpensive because most of the actors will already have the necessary pieces. I would try to create some sort of neutral backdrop (beige or champagne colored) to block out the backstage area and create the illusion of an indoor room. I doubt there will be much special lighting used in this production (unlike the last show, flashing police lights are not necessary); dim to normal…

slouching with their heads down on the desks. They’ve kept this position until the raucous bell rang, which woke them up from their trance. As Grant walked down the noisy hallways, he observed many of the bulletin boards and posters hung up on the beige, spotted walls. These colorful pictures kept him motivated to work hard and persevere. He approached the crowded cafeteria, made up of round tables with bubble gum stuck to each one, rusty trash cans that make an annoying noise if they fall, and…

It wasn't the best idea for Nova Rivers to walk home alone, but it was the only choice she had. More like she felt like it was the only choice she had. She hated walking alone in the dark yet she felt the urge to get away and walk home by herself. Which now that she thought about it, she shouldn't have given in because being a sixteen year-old-girl walking alone in a sketchy alley, something was bound to go down. "Okay, Nova. Maybe this wasn't the best idea," she whispered to herself and made a…

On September 18th through the 20th, Dance @ Wright was presented by the ECU School of Theatre and Dance. An event, performed by a variety of dancers that collaborated essential moods for their entire performance. The mood and the mode of representation of the dance became a key aspect of the performance. As a viewer, I ask myself did the music accommodate the performance or vice versa. Did the choreographer focus more on the alignment of the body or did he or she portray realistically on the…

Our class adaptation of Crime and Punishment was to be set during the 1800s in Russia - a time and setting which the writers of the play wanted to come through to the audience. Yet, relying solely on the script was not enough to give the desired effect. In professional theatre, sound is usually a good signifier for not the surrounding, but when it comes to a specific location background music will not do it - accents are necessary. Thankfully, as a class we silently agreed to not have a group…

house was different from what she imagined to the Keaton's house. Due to Granados’s mother painted the walls with different color, and she likes to collect random items and hung them on the walls, unlike the Keaton’s family that hung artwork, and have beige walls, it has become what she said, “A challenge” for her American life. Not only with a pineapple and the Family Ties show, the front yard in her house is also a sign of how deeply she wants to present her American ethnic than Mexican…

back to 1336-1323 B.C. It is an interesting sculpture considering the medium is gray granite. Size, color and the material surface texture shows the symbols and artistry appreciated by the Egyptians. As a result of time, the gray granite blends with beige that exhibits the old age of the artwork. The size of this sculpture is medium size compared to the other sculptures that surround it. In addition, the material surface is very alluring as well as rough. Through observation one can see the…
