A beautiful, captivating, and revolutionary story, In the Time of the Butterflies, was written by Julia Alvarez and is a true account about struggle, courage, and love between four sisters, their families, and the people they encountered in their lives. This captivating story is so easy to relate to, as it’s written by a woman, about women, for women. What comes across clearly throughout the story is the Mirabal sisters’ passion for the revolution and how it overwhelmed their lives and the lives of anyone that was involved, or came into contact, with them. This resulted in the sisters being better revolutionaries than mothers, wives, sisters, or daughters. Their passion for the revolution is what drove them the most and what ultimately drove them to involuntarily put their families’ lives at risk. They participated, and were involved in the revolution in spite of the risk of imprisonment and torture. The Mirabal sisters fought until death for what they believe in and the benefit of their country.
In her book, Fun Home, Alison Bechdel uses simplistic black and white artwork with a touch of the color blue. The shade she uses is a grayish-blue hue that reminds me of the color duck egg blue. I feel that Bechdel uses this particular shade of blue to coincide with the tone of her personal graphic novel. The color blue is known as a very flexible color choice. It can have a positive calming effect and may be associated with feelings of serenity and spirituality. Blue can also be used to suggest loneliness and sadness and induce a cold, chilling feeling. The latter emotions emphasize the direction that Bechdel was leading her readers to.
Miracles,the sea parted to let the israelites go through,lazarus raised from the dead, fire falling from the sky.The Bible tells about such wonders, and we see them as interventions from God, showing of His power over all of creation, and proof of His sovereignty. We are amazed by them. But the unbelievers will see things differently. They will despise and laugh it all off as myth, as something belonging with the league of fairy tales.
In Sonny’s Blues a big issue is the idea of Salvation. Sonny’s blues is a story about two brothers on opposite paths, with different worldviews. The characters in the story are from the same place, raised by the same people, and taught the same things, but they are different in the brain and heart, which makes their journey to salvation very different trips. Sonny is the younger of the brothers and he struggles with drugs, the ideas of suffering, and feeling trapped. The narrator on the other hand struggles with the death of his daughter, his relationship with his brother, and feeling trapped. James Baldwin wrote this short story during the 1950’s and it is still very relevant today, people are still looking for salvation and still trying to
Have you ever thought about what it would be like not to be free? What would it be like not to be able to make choices? What would it be like not to be able to do what you want? It's scary to think about not being free, but even in the world today some people don't even have basic human freedoms. Lois Lowry shows us in her books The Giver and Gathering Blue what it would be like not to have freedom and how important it is that we have it.
The Blue people of Troublesome Creek, sounds like a title of fiction novel, but the Blue Fugates were no fictional characters, but they were real humans that lived not too far from where we are today.

In Germany, the advent of sound cinema was initially dismissed as American sensation seeking. The domestic success of Josef von Sternberg’s The Blue Angel (1930) then represents a turnabout of public sentiment. The film encapsulates the paradox of Weimar cinema as it relates to its American counterpart. While in opposition to the American industry, German cinema consistently looked to Hollywood as a point of reference and the film is a result of this. As Professor Rath is seduced in the film by the cabaret singer, Lola Lola, German audiences became seduced by the film and by the technology of sound cinema. The film is a showcase of its own technological achievement and arises from the paradoxical engagement of German with American cinema, an
Early in the film , a psychologist is called in to treat the troubled child :and she calmed the mother with a statement to the effect that, “ These things come and go but they are unexplainable”. This juncture of the film is a starting point for one of the central themes of the film which is : how a fragile family unit is besieged by unusual forces both natural and supernatural which breaks and possesses and unites with the morally challenged father while the mother and the child through their innocence, love, and honesty triumph over these forces.

The early days of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans marked the birth of prepaid health care coverage in America. In the early 1900s, the BlueShield concept emerged because employers in the lumber and mining camps in the Pacific Northwest wanted a way to provide medical care to their workers. A system was set up where they could pay fees to "medical service bureaus", which were composed of groups of physicians which would guarantee the workers physician services and care. In 1929, Justin Ford Kimball, an official at Baylor University in Dallas, introduced a similar plan to guarantee schoolteachers 21 days of hospital care for $6 a year (Kimball, n.d.). The popularity of this plan grew quickly and thus the BlueCross concept was born.
The Miracle Worker Three adults and one infant. The 1800's Tuscumbia, Alabama, that’s where it all began. An ill baby was with her doctor and her parents when they discovered the cost of her survival. Her sight and her hearing were taken away from at such a young age that she didn't remember it being anything else other than darkness. Five years of being spoilt and misunderstood caused a misbehaved child named Helen, that had exploding tantrums every few hours.
To conclude, I think this movie is a good example to show how a homeless person lived and how he survived his life from being a homeless. Throughout all his life he showed what can determination do even though there are obstacles in the way. Doing is best paid off his hardships. So from dreaming big, be determined on what you're trying to do, and be responsible on things will make you succeed in the future.
