Between Shades Of Gray is following around fifteen year old Lina who is a Lithuanian girl in the year 1941. Lina was enthusiastic about many things including but not limited to painting, drawing,…

Lina’s initial reaction to the unfortunate information was denial. She denied that her father had passed, but the thought began to swarm in her mind. Lina began to take out all of her anger on Kretzsky by shouting bitter words at him as if her…

The song “Independence Day” sang by Martina McBride gave us the meaning behind it; freedom. The fact that a female sang this song in a country style suited it. Country music tends to tells life experiences, and how people deal with them through a song. Behind McBride’s song, she sang it as if she was telling a story of the young girl and her mother who suffered from physical abuse from her husband that later freed herself that one would’ve never imagine. There are tons of men, women and even…
The song “Independence Day” by Martina McBride represents the silence of domestic abuse of women. It was fourth of July and the town was going to celebrate. This was the day she was going to declare her freedom as well. The silence was no more. The woman in the song had suffered from the violence of her husband and the whispers behind her back. The video Sin by Silence told about how women were trapped, with no way out except to end someone’s life. The tragedy of domestic violence is people…

She frequently filled her mind with this utmost happiest thought she possessed . . . her acceptance letter for the…
picture causing the team to make multiple adjustments (Matthew, Platt and Noble 626). When placing the microphones, the actors constantly needed to be reminded to speak into the microphones so the sound team could hear them. The sound team first put the microphone in a bush that was quite near Lina; however, when Lina delivered her lines, she moved her head side to side so the microphone only caught a few of her words. The frustrated director had to remind Lina to speak into the microphone, and…
about they behave before I observed. I observed a three year-old girl who is in preschool at California State University, Sacramento at around three in the afternoon. For the purpose of confidentially, I would call her Lina. There are couple teachers in the class, and each teacher has a group of children that they are responsible for. It is not a big class there are only about sixteen kids. They have their free time outdoor, and they have the options to play whatever they want to. Lina, the…
