...legend in his time. Who was this man? A barefoot tree-hugger who helped shape the American forefront? Johnny Appleseed has risen to be one of the great legends of American history. His love of apple trees was a key factor in early American horticulture. Unlike some past heroes such as Paul Bunyan who were merely mythical, Johnny Appleseed was based on a real person and actual facts. However, not all is true. From The Core of Johnny Appleseed, Ray Silverman (2012) writes, “when a man has been gone from the world for over 160 years the facts and fictions can get mixed together as people tell and retell the stories about him” (p. x). This article will delve deep into the history of John Chapman to separate fact from fiction from...

...2/14/12 Critic #1 Johnny Appleseed Johnny Appleseed is a play for children and not only was every child in the audience entertained, but so was I. The acting of the play was very well done to keep the children engaged. The stage it was performed on was fairly large and the director was sure to make good use of the entire space. The stage was used resourcefully with all of the scenery and props that were used for the play. If a mood in the play changed, so did the lighting to enhance the effect it gave people. From the lighting I could tell when it was day or evening, or when the Mr. Feelgood and his sister (the bad guys) were up to something. My overall experience of the play was good; I really enjoyed it, and especially how the actors interacted with the audience. I thought all the actors in the play were believable. They’re costumes fit their character of people from an ordinary, olden day small town. Johnny Appleseed and Mr. Feelgood were my two favorites, because they really applied themselves to their part and I just enjoyed the whole good guy bad guy rivalry. I noticed how later in the play when Johnny Appleseed had grown to be old, Jared Wagner, the actor, held his back with his hand to show that he had aged. The performers interacted very well together, I noticed in particular when every time Johnny would return to the field and Josh would meet him, they played the game with the kids in the audience whether or not someone was behind Johnny or not. The way they...

...Icon Analysis: Johnny Depp Mikael Stoffer Baker College of Owosso Icons are recognized everywhere from producer, actor, model, worker, the list could go on forever because icons are anyone who is very successful and recognized widely as a symbol. An Icon has to be someone who is admired and considered successful to not only one person, it has to be a good chunk of people who can all agree that they are considered an icon to many people. But there are few people who would be considered an icon in the invention field because so many people are inventing things nowadays. But there will always be a set of people that come to mind when thinking of those few people in such a big field of interest like inventing, Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Bill Gates, the list could go on till you do not recognize anyone else. With actors there are plenty to choose from because actors can play many roles and be considered the star of the show or movie but even a side character can be considered an icon because they lifted spirits in a movie, but in most cases it is because they played so many roles.

His name is Johnny Depp, and he has played many eccentric and villainous roles that he is widely considered an icon throughout the entire acting community. Johnny Depp is the icon of Hollywood’s actors, one of the top 10 fashion icons and could be many...

...These elements add to the overall effect of a film and can either hurt or hinder the success of a film. There are strong elements of both in Johnny Guitar. Johnny guitar is a 1954, Western film that challenges the roles of women in the wild west. The film had a mediocre reception even though it stars film legend Joan Crawford. The story focuses on Crawford’s character Vienna who has builds a saloon out side of town and wants to build her own town once the railroad is built. However, the town’s people, led by Emma Small want her gone. So, Vienna hires Johnny Guitar for protection. This inciting incident is where the story begins. Throughout the trials and tribulations the characters face, camp and drag fuel the plot and the interactions between the characters. Elements of camp and drag are evident through the environment, and scenery and, and Vienna’s wardrobe. Johnny Guitar is essentially a western, however the scenery slightly disagrees. There are two instances where the scenery does not adhere to the rules of a western film. The first is Vienna’s saloon and the second is the Dancing Kid and his gang’s hideaway. Both locations lack a rugged western film and do not correspond to their original definition of what they should appear to be. Johnny guitar begins with stagecoach robbery and murder. This event is seen from a far by Johnny Guitar. This sets the scene to be a typical western environment. It is dangerous, rugged, desolate, barren weak trees and a whole lot of dust...

...wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion -- against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas.” Stated by Johnny Cash in his book Cash: The Autobiography, when asked why he was always seen wearing black. This is a quote that defines Johnny Cash, one of the most iconic musicians of the 20th century and one of the best-selling artists of all time. He was known as the Man in Black - for wearing black clothing during public appearances - which held a symbolic meaning for the poor and hungry in the country, and for prisoners in jail serving long past their sentence. Johnny Cash always had a resentment toward authority and the government, leaving him with a lifetime reputation of being an outlaw and a rebel. Before Johnny Cash became an iconic figure in country music, he served in the United States Air Force from 1950 or 1954 as a Radio Intercept Officer.

...Throughout the song “I walk the line” by Johnny Cash the tone is very intimate.The words in the song make me believe he is profounding his love for a woman.However the reason I think this is because I have a great deal of background knowledge on his life.In 1955 June Carter and Johnny met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry,while John was married to his first wife Vivian Liberto.

...5.1: Identify components of the immune response: Antibodies; T; B cells Antibodies: Antibodies are proteins (immunoglobulins) produced and found in plasma cells these plasma cells are the products of activated B cells. Each antibody is specific to the antigen which promotes their synthesis and release. The highly specific antibodies match the antigen it was produced to destroy, the antibodies bind to these antigens which form the antigen-antibody complex, and this complex deactivates the antigen. There are a number of ways antibodies react with antigens: Neutralisation: Antibodies can join to the binding sites of viruses, or they can immobilize bacterial toxins by coating them. Phagocytes then engulf these complexes. Agglutination: Antibodies clump together antigens such as bacteria, merging many bacterial cells into a larger and more rigid mass. This mass is then engulfed by phagocytosis. Antigen-antibody complex http://www.easynotecards.com/print_list/13679?fs=2&dis=1 T cells: T cells care lymphocytes produced in the bone marrow and then sent to the thymus gland to mature. Once matured they are sent out to the blood, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes. Each T cell is specific to a particular antigen; they recognise their specific antigen by their surface receptors. Once a T cell recognises an antigen through its surface receptors it is then activated, which begins the proliferation of many cytotoxic T cells (clones specific to antigen). These abundant cloned...

...Johnny Singstealer claims that he now owns the copyright to the “Happy Birthday To You” song for 20 years. The song was inherited from his family. He is seeking royalties from the use of the Happy Birthday Song. Bobby Bandleader says that everybody utilizes the “Happy Birthday To You” song. He has added his own “twist” in the song so it’s not the traditional song. He uses harmonizing chords, as well as, changed some of the words in the song to make it his own creativity. I am going to decide whether or not Bobby Bandleader will owe royalty payments to Johnny Singstealer simply because he uses the melody of the song and the basis of the song, HBTY. “Happy Birthday To You” is a song that is known throughout the world as the birthday song (Cold Case: The Happy Birthday Song Edition, 2011). The origination of the song was copywritten by Preston Ware Orem and R.R. Forman many years ago. They were the first to actually write out the song in which they received the copyright because of that and were estimated at $5 million dollars in 1990. The copyright isn’t due to expire until 2030, but has now been passed down to Johnny Singstealer in which he now owns the copyright. The purpose of copyright laws and royalties is to afford the copyright owner a fair return for his creative work and the copyright user a fair income under existing economic conditions (Proceedings by Copyright Royalty Judges). Bobby Bandleader has not sung the song, “Happy Birthday To You” verbatim...
