1. Mixed me! By Taye Diggs: Mike is a mixed kid with crazy zigzag hair and a cool style. Mike dad is dark skin and his mother is light skin. Mike said some times when they are together people stare at them. Some kid’s say his mom don’t match because of their skin color. Mike’s parents tell him that they mixed him perfectly. His school peers call him mixed- up Mike but he is mixed and proud. MY OPINION This book talk about the physical apperience of race. I like the fact that it was openly hounest
During this semester, I was able to learn about how one being of a mixed race can be so easily stereotyped because of who they are. Some of the views shared by millions of people, it is really surprising to know that America leads these views. We as a people cannot put this kind of stereotyping behind us so that we could move on as a nation, seeing that we are equal and we are one created by God. No matter your race or cultural background you should be given the opportunity to be who you
I had a student that was biracial that was having some issues with fitting in according to his White parent. The book Mixed Me by the Rent actor Taye Diggs was purchased and read to the entire classroom. This story resonated with the student during the Read Aloud period so much that his parent told me how much he appreciated the story. My other example that was mentioned in an earlier discussion is
The picture of the foot of Tse on the head of Archer, in the ballet an expression of tenderness and love, was considered by the black community as extremely offensive. To avoid more conflicts, the management of the Royal Swedish Ballet decided to remove the poster from their windows (Haidl, 2015). Another reason for the sensitive connotation of the concept is due to people’s narrow idea of diversity, emphasizing only on differences between ethnicity and race. The word ethnicity derives from the
Most childhood stories are all about the enjoyment of going to Disney World or spending the summer with the new kid in town. Recounting and reminiscing as if they are the real life Phineas and Ferb. However have you heard of an unhappy or despondent childhood? Known a friend who was cheerful and radiant, but wondered if that was the real person? Being a dark skin black girl, I could relate. During the middle school days of my childhood, trying to fit in was a major key. The first weeks of school
Alice Walker is woman of class, diversity, and feminism. More importantly, she is a civil rights activist, novelist, poet, and essayist. Growing up poor, I would like to think motivated her, and crafted her to the woman she is at this time in her life. Her works is a tasteful gratification of what it was like fighting for equality for all African Americans, affirming the possibility to love and forgive amongst black and white people, and just writing impeccable wisdom.

RENT the Musical There's a scene in the new musical "RENT" that may be the quintessential romantic moment of the '90s. Roger, a struggling rock musician, and Mimi, a junkie who's a dancer at an S/M club, are having a lovers' quarrel when their beepers go off and each takes out a bottle of pills. It's the signal for an "AZT break," and suddenly they realize that they're both HIV-positive. Clinch. Love duet. If you don't think this is romantic, consider that Jonathan Larson's sensational
There are many differences between film and live theatre. Live theatre is an academic experience you must act a certain way when walking into a theatre. You feel and see first hand the feelings of the actors. You critique the acting much more when you watch it in person. Film, on the contrary, is very expensive to make and usually features big box office names to make it into the movie theatres. The differences between the live production of The Tale of the Heike which I saw at the Glenn Hughes Theatre
There are 3,679,200 minutes in seven years. That is 365 weeks or 2,665 days. There is a myriad of things that can occur in that time. An extraordinary musical was made in that period. It transformed the musical community and changed lives. That musical is Rent and it was written by an equally inspiriting man named Johnathon Larson. Rent earned its high acclaim and 12 year run on Broadway due to Johnathon and his team of people. These individuals were all dedicated to making a musical that was moving
