...Emmet Ray was one of the most talented guitarists in the world, but he lived his life outrageously by deceiving and stealing. Ray was a fictional character from the movie Sweet and Lowdown directed by Woody Allen, despite the realistic interviews from critics who commented on Emmet as if he was a real person. Inspired by Django Reinhardt, Emmet became a jazz guitarist in the 1930s and achieved moderate success. Emmet was talented with the guitar, but he was frequently late, drunk, or missing when he had to perform. Although Emmet Ray was cruel and heartless on the surface, deep down inside he was quite fragile. He was whole-heartedly passionate with music and considered himself as the greatest guitar player, yet he was afraid he might not actually be the greatest. Emmet was afraid to confront his fears and chose to live his life recklessly as an escape. So, Emmet was not all what he appeared to be on the outside....

The building is tall as a Greek God that extends to the sky with a mighty aura that surrounds it that seeks for green paper. From the inside however, a largely wide area that behemoths with deep empathy that screams out “Look at me!” in every direction. Many things went through my mind as I explored the straight forwardness of a place. The first question that strike through me were the extinction of water fountains. With liquid container not being allowed during the exploration, what’s the need of killing off something that keeps us motivated to move through the flat surface of hollowness? That’s one thing that irked my nerves through my search of an Emmet Gowin show. Another thing was the lack of security and employees who help answer questions. The environment felt very empty and quiet. That could’ve been their purpose to create a mood where it makes the viewer think and create questions. If that...

...represented through these song lyrics. “The woollen coat… is the produce of the joint labour of a great multitude of workmen” (WNS). This definition from Smith’s work states that the “woolen coat,” which symbolizes wealth, is created through the cooperation and harmony of workmen who all hold different jobs and have different specialties (Garnett). The ‘woolen coat,’ and furthermore, the division of labor is one of the key concepts for creating an efficient commercial society, according to Smith (Garnett). If the workmen were to work individually or without the help of others, they would not nearly be as productive, efficient, or wealthy as if they were to work as a team. As the song states, “everything is cool when you’re a part of a team.” Emmet Brickowski, the protagonist of...

...12/04/2017 'Sweet and Lowdown' essay response Sweet and Lowdown is an American comedy drama film written and directed by Woody Allen. This comedy drama was about jazz guitarist Emmet Ray, who falls in love with a mute woman. I don’t think so, Emmet Ray was a real person, but I felt like it’s based on a real, despite the fact that relatively unknown person. Ray was the second greatest guitarist in the world, and he admired Django Reinhardt as one of the greatest guitar players in the world. Whenever Ray saw his idol Django and listened his song, he fainted and cried. Ray was a fascinating character and drank heavily. His hobbies were shooting junkyard rats, Trainspotting, and playing eight-ball pool. His hobbies affected his work because whenever he drank, he was going late to work, and sometimes he didn’t show up....

Afterwards, he was picked as the chosen one that will help lead the master builders, to a revolution of change and knowledge. This alludes to Plato's " The Allegory of the Cave" When the man was chosen and set free to walk in the light and seek the real shadows of reality. In the first scene, we can observe Emmet realizing that all everything he knew was a lie. This is directly connected when the man from the cave saw the light shadows of the sun. In the second scene, we can observe the ignorance to change from the protagonist. In this case, the businessman. This can be related when the man returned to the cave and tried to share his newly gained knowledge about the world and being ignored by the other prisoners.

...Byanca Christopher Business 4/20/2015 Sears Holdings Corporation There have been many large chain retailers to grace the United States, but Sears (or Sears, Roebuck and Co.) has been a staple for as long as many people can remember. Sears was once the largest retailer in the United States and is still one of the largest today. In recent years the retail giant has seen a major decline in revenue and stores have been closing across the country. However, Sears is not completely out of options or business and has a formula to continue its longevity. Sears, Roebuck and Co. is still one of the most recognized names in retail and has shown to be adaptable to the changing business environment. The Sears, Roebuck and Co. was founded in 1886 by Alvah Curtis Roebuck and Richard Warren Sears. Sears started his career as a railway agent. He began selling watches after a shipment of watches were unwanted by the receiver (Weil 20). After selling watches for a while Sears moved to Chicago and hired Roebuck who was working as a watchmaker at the time. The company became known as Sears, Roebuck and Co. In 1888 the first catalog was produced offering watches and jewelry (A Brief Chronology of Sears ln.1) There catalog enabled the duo to offer fixed prices to farmers for a larger variety of items rather than base the prices on the creditworthiness of the customer. The business’ growth was stratospheric and they quickly became a household name (Weil 22). This was not the end; the catalogs began...

You see, Aron wasn't the best at football and usually no one payed attention to him. “Come on Aron, you can do it!” I said tailing him like a cop. Now he was sprinting down the field. I watched over him like a proud father. I watched excitedly as Aron dove into the endzone. We all came and picked him up cheering loudly. “You did it man” “That was a awesome dive!” “You owned that touch down!” Then the whistle screeched. As we walked back we talked about the game and our plan. “Emmet i’m sorry for not listening to you,” Said Ryan, “I wasn't using good teamwork.” “Aw it’s okay man! Don’t get all soapy!” He playfully punched me in the shoulder. ...
