  • Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge
    BOOK SUMMARY She built a monument for all time. Then she was lost in its shadow. Discover the fascinating woman who helped design and construct an American icon, perfect for readers of The Other Einstein. Emily Warren Roebling refuses to live conventionally―she knows who she is and what she wants, and she's determined to make change. But then her husband Wash asks the unthinkable: give up her dreams to make his possible. Emily's fight for women's suffrage is put on hold, and her life transformed when Wash, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role, despite stern resistance and overwhelming obstacles. Lines blur as Wash's vision becomes her own, and when he is unable to return to the job, Emily is consumed by it. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building―hers, or her husband's. As the monument rises, Emily's marriage, principles, and identity threaten to collapse. When the bridge finally stands finished, will she recognize the woman who built it? Based on the true story of the Brooklyn Bridge, The Engineer's Wife delivers an emotional portrait of a woman transformed by a project of unfathomable scale, which takes her into the bowels of the East River, suffragette riots, the halls of Manhattan's elite, and the heady, freewheeling temptations of P.T. Barnum. It's the story of a husband and wife determined to build something that lasts―even at the risk of losing each other.

  • The Greatest Showman
    Movies & Languages 2018-2019 The Greatest Showman About the movie (subtitled version) DIRECTOR Michael Gracey YEAR/COUNTRY 2017 / USA GENRE Musical film ACTORS Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson and Zendaya PLOT Set in the second half of the mid-ninteenth century, the story tells, on the one hand, of a romance between Phineas T. Barnum, a poor tailor’s son, and Charity Hallett, a rich businessman’s daughter. Despite the objection of Charity’s parents, Phineas and her get married and have two daughters. Living in a very humble way, they are at first happy. Barnum, however, craves to be successful and to give his family more. He consequently starts up a circus. Although at first he is not successful, he changes approach and the business begins to grow. Part of his new approach is to include people who are not exactly normal, like dwarves or bearded ladies. This new more freakish angle of his circus begins to attract more people. His ride to success is a bit bumpy at first, but in the end he and his family become fabulously rich and are accepted in New York society. P. T. Barnum is still known as the most circus that ever existed. LANGUAGE The language is sensational. This is a film about success and fulfilling dreams, and the language often reflects both. VOCABULARY To wish: there are three ways to use this verb: Blue prints: the plans/drawings for how to build “I wish I had a Million dollars” (impossibility); “I something wish you would study” (possibility); “I wished upon a star” or “I made a wish” Substantial collateral: to put a lot of money as Freaks: people or things that are not normal an initial payment toward paying for something Flotilla of sailing vessels: a fleet of boats/ships Trapeeze: ropes with a bar attached to them, that men hold on to while they fly about the sky and do acrobatics Something that isn’t stuffed: something that To rub my parents noses in success: when you isn’t filled with something.

  • Barnum and the “Barnum” Effect 1
    Running head: BARNUM AND THE “BARNUM” EFFECT 1 Barnum and The “Barnum” Effect Jamey Sweet Trinity Western University BARNUM AND THE “BARNUM” EFFECT 2 Barnum and The “Barnum” Effect Intro Peanut shells. Elephants. Colorful Tents. Acrobatics and death-defying acts. Have I got your attention yet? Bearded women. Mermaids. Tiny people and beautiful voices. Doesn’t this sound spectacular? It also sounds like the circus, a place of entertainment and showmanship. While there have been many players that participated in the birth and the growth of the circus, there haven’t been many who became such a world-wide personality as Phineas Taylor Barnum. Men such as Philip Astley birthed the circus with equestrian shows in the 18th century, but in the 19th century as Barnum began traveling under the colorful tent, the circus evolved with the addition of the Sideshow. While PT Barnum is largely associated with the circus, a wider look on his life can reveal business talent, especially in the entertainment industry. Barnum had used advertising and marketing to his advantage like no one else before him, and yet still proclaimed to hold to some of the business ethics of previous century. His pride and glory, other than his family, was the American Museum, which was an exhibition of oddities, curiosities, and sensations, some of them being human exhibits. This foundation provided a launchpad into the circus industry. Who was Phineas Taylor Barnum? Why was he so “successful” in his field? What are his drives, motivations, and passions that got him up in the morning? Was he happy? What happened in Barnum’s failures in life and how did they affect him? As we explore the biggest personality of the 19th century, we may uncover that this self-proclaimed “Humbug” has a personality that is hard to pin down among all of his personas.
