Every day we checked the thermometer to see if the conditionswere right for our wish to come true. While we waited for white flakes, we are worked on decorating our very own snowman collage, so if you get a chance come on by to take a look! During January we also learned about Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and how he worked to make the world a better place. In art we have made special hats with dragons for the celebration of the Chinese New year. A big warm welcome to our new students Elena C. and Cole W. By: Ms.Antinucci and Ms. D’Aquanni GRadE 2: A B USY M ONTH ! WE HAVE JUMPED RIGHT INTO THE NEW YEAR. WE CELEBRATED MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY BY LEARNING ABOUT FAIRNESS AND PEACE TO ALL PEOPLE. Ms. Waite’s class performed at the school assembly with High School students singing I’ve got peace like a river… Ms. DeVito’s class wrote special dreams they had to make the world a better place. All students shared their own “HISTORY” in a classroom museum. They wrote timelines and autobiographies, drew a self-portrait, and displayed their treasures and special collections for students and parents. This was a wonderful event for the entire 2nd grade! The 2nd graders visited a new exhibit in downtown Rome, Homo sapiens. This matched nicely with our study of early man and civilizations. We even were fortunate to have two guest chaperones: Ms. Ciuffreda and Ms. Prisco. They both were former 2nd grade teachers at AOSR. The children said it was a great experience. If you have the opportunity to visit this international, interactive multimedia exhibit, all the 2nd graders would highly recommend it. E L E M EN ta RY N EWS GRadE 3: A W A RM W EL C OME ! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2012 is a special year for third grade as we welcome Ms. Robin Andrews to our third grade community. Ms. Andrews is replacing Ms. Kim Wheeler as she and her family moved to Australia. Ms. Andrews has been part of the AOSR family for many years and we are lucky to have such a wonderful, caring teacher who has been able to navigate this transitional time so seamlessly. We welcome you to AOSR, Ms. Andrews! In Social Studies and Science, third graders have been busy learning how to write the Greek alphabet and making healthy choices, respectively. Our historians have learned how to write their names in the Greek alphabet and our scientists have learned how to use the food pyramid in order to become healthy eaters. At home, we encourage you to discuss how the decisions we make about exercise, food, and sleep affect our overall health. Scientists have also studied a timeline of advances in health and would be interested to read the newspaper with you and learn of any new developments. In the future, we will be studying Greek architecture and simple machines. Thanks for helping us make cross-curricular connections!

  • BROOKS ATKINSON THEATER (Originally Mansfield Theater), 256-262 West 47Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 4, 1987; Designation List 194 LP-1311 BROOKS ATKINSON THEATER (originally Mansfield Theater), 256-262 West 47th Street, Manhattan. Built 1925-26; architect Herbert J. Krapp. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1018, Lot 57. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Brooks Atkinson Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (I tern No. 7). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has · received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Brooks Atkinson Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built during the mid-1920s, the Brooks Atkinson was among the half-dozen theaters constructed by the Chanin Organization, to the designs of Herbert J. Krapp, that typified the development of the Times Square/Broadway theater district. Founded by Irwin S. Chanin, the Chanin organization was a major construction company in New York. During the 1920s, Chanin branched out into the building of theaters, and helped create much of the ambience of the heart of the theater district.

Yet master documentary maker Michael Pilz chose for duration and circumlocution in his portrait of Beckett dir- ector Jack Garfein. Because groping and searching are also qualities. The footage was shot in September 1988. It was only recently that the film maker found the peace and the courage to cut material that he probably didn't want to cut at all at first. In that sense the film is concise after all. The famous Czech-born American theatre maker Jack Gar- fein (1930) worked as a guest director in Vienna, in George Tabori's theatre Der Kreis. Garfein rehearsed three late plays by Samuel Beckett with the company attached to the theatre.

  • Metaphors We Act By: Kinesthetics, Cognitive Psychology, and Historical Structures
    Spring 1993 25 Metaphors We Act By: Kinesthetics, Cognitive Psychology, and Historical Structures Bruce A. McConachie "The [Actor's] Studio is close to the roots of our time." William Inge I At the climax of the "Poker Night" scene in A Streetcar Named Desire, Marlon Brando howeled a plea that echoed and amplified the prototypical Misunderstood Male in the culture of post-war America. The explosion of emotion behind his "STELLLAHHHHH!" seemed to comunicate immediately and viscerally to theatregoers (and later to moviegoers), who sought similar experiences in the frustrated-sensitive-loner characterizations of James Dean, Paul Newman, and others from the late 1940s through the early '60s. But how exactly did audiences make sense of Brando's moment on stage? How does the actor's use of his or her body help to shape the perceptions and understandings produced by spectators? And what do these kinesthetically generated meanings have to do with the construction and reproduction of culture? How, in other words, are kinesthetics, psychology, and historical structures linked together? At stake in the theoretical controversies surrounding this question is the potential agency of the body in history. The dominant tendency of western science since the Enlightenment has been to understand the body as one among many physical objects in the universe, thus reducing it to a passive recipient of external and internal forces and drives. As sociologist Paul Connerton remarks, the "linguistic turn" of recent scholarship has reinforced this tendency: "When the defining feature of the human species was seen as language, the body was 'readable' as a text or code, but the body is regarded as the arbitrary bearer of meanings; bodily practices are acknowledged, but in an etherealized form" (101).

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Strange One by Bernie Morris Toni Morrison – Strangers Analysis
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Strange One by Bernie Morris Toni Morrison – Strangers analysis. “I try to understand the intensity of my chagrin, and why I am missing a woman I spoke to for fifteen minutes…Now she is gone, taking away with her my good opinion of myself, which, of course, is unforgivable. Isn’t that the kind of thing that we fear strangers will do? Disturb. Betray. Prove they are not like us. that is why it is so hard to know what to do with them” (77). Morrison’s short essay, Strangers, explores the preconceived notions that people make of others, and questions why this is. The narrator meets an old woman by a river one day and they instantly connect. She is old and wise, and he grows to be very fond of her in the fraction of a day they spend together. When the man returns the following day to find that the woman is not there, he is very disappointed and begins to think of the way people judge others. He had judged the woman a bit at first because she appeared strange and different. However, once the narrator got to know the woman, he found himself feeling a strong attachment to her. Morrison appeals to pathos by giving the reader images of different kinds of people, making the reader think of the snap judgements they would typically make about the people in the them. He gives a sense of self- awareness to the reader, and potentially a sense of guilt. Morrison also appeals to logos by assuming that the reader will judge the woman in the story at first, or the people in the images, because the reader in fact does.
