...Vision Borgonia! Ms. Happ! Mythology & Composition! 13 January 2016! Cycle of the Hero: The DUFF! ! A hero is someone who is admired for courage and noble quails. And as Joseph Campbell would say “ A hero is someone who had given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” In the movie The DUFF , the main character Bianca is a high school senior surrounded by immature teenagers. although she is a teenager herself she shows hero qualities. The cycle of the hero aka the mono myth is a template of categories that a typical ‘hero’ goes through while on their journey. Not all characters go through all stages of the cycle, some characters skip a stage while others deal with the stages in a different order. In the movie Bianca goes slightly out of order but quickly follows back on track.! Bianca is starting her senior year off with her two best friends Jess and Casey. Bianca doesn't realize it yet but her friends are significantly prettier and more popular then she is.

...Competition of the Classes Homecoming, a night that unites the four classes under the promise of good music, fun, and unforgettable memories. Homecoming is full of traditions, including homecoming halls--decorations placed across the halls of the school, the week prior to homecoming night. Behind the scenes of that eventful night, a great amount of work was placed into homecoming halls. At Rockville High School, homecoming halls have been a tradition for a lengthy amount of time, SGA Coordinator Ms. Gross believes that the students: “Continue [homecoming halls] because it brings the class together and it is an exciting time for all of the students involved.” The choice of theme for homecoming halls is assigned to the seniors.

Fresh Meat (from the “Cabrini Green Project”) By Darrius Barron Being the new kid on the block wasn’t always a good thing. The first day of high school, bashfulness erupted in every freshman’s body. The smell of fresh meat lurked around in the air, as the sophomores sensed it. There was quiet in every classroom. Very few people were talking to their friends from eighth grade. Every forty-five minutes in class felt like a decade in the lake of fire. I felt the dirty, disrespectful looks on my back. I felt the heat from the competition in the school. This year for high school, I tried...

...Jeanalyn A. Carsano November 17, 2015 TITLE DEFENSE REFLECTION During the title defense, we did last November 11, 2015; I was struck with fear at first because I was not that prepared to be scrutinized by the panelists, I think we had the same feeling with my teammates. The reason behind why we were not able to prepare prior to the scheduled title defense was that, we were bombarded together with my teammates with the tasks assigned to us, just like making and editing of the invitation letters and the program for our sending forth ceremony as well as for the Social Work Alumni homecoming event. It troubled me a lot for I find it difficult to manage my time because all the tasks have deadlines that should be met. These things made us forget what to do next after we submitted our title proposal. Before we faced the panelists, I prayed to God asking for His guidance and wisdom to all of us for I know He will never leave us. Indeed, God is great because He enabled us to answer the questions that were thrown to us by the panelists. I was grateful also to Ma’am Eva for she was the one who formulated the title of our thesis. Also, it was advantageous for us because the topic we had on our thesis was based on the group work program we conducted last semester to the first year Social Work students. This made us easy to introduce the background the title of our research to the panelists. I really appreciate the eagerness of the panelists for their ideas in revising...

...One would not usually list ‘watching people suffer’ as something that makes them laugh. I am no exception, but this changes when watching a Martin McDonagh or Harold Pinter Black Comedy. On viewing McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore and Pinter’s The Homecoming, two vastly different Black Comedies. When watching these plays, I found myself laughing at what would seem like the most inappropriate places, if one was only looking at the violent and chaotic visuals. It is in their staging that the dialogue, characters and settings mix to create laughter and cartharsis. On viewing NIDA’s production of The Lieutenant of Inishmore, I discovered that one of the most laughter-inducing scenes was also one of the most violent. The second scene of the play where the mad son of Donny, Padraic, is torturing a ‘drug pusher’, James, is visually disturbing. I saw James hanging upside down, blood trickling down from his massacred feet to his horrified face. Despite this, the lyrical, song-like way in which Padraic adresses him, coupled with the highly satirical dialogue, provokes the audience to laugh and creates a funny scene. Padraic tells James sincerely to ‘Be pickin’ yer nipple’, as he feels it to be a kind gesture rather than cutting off both nipples. The extreme stupidity with which Padraic spoke incited laughter fom the audience around me, and focused attention away from the macabre nature of the scene. Inspired by my viewing of the NIDA production, I played the character of Davey...
