Personal Narrative: The Christmas Pageant

446 Words2 Pages

From fourth grade through my senior year of high school, I performed in the Fort Lauderdale Christmas Pageant.

This experience consumed a majority of my time during the months of practice, and allowed me to form a bond with many families that

    Ever since I was little, being on Clearfield High School drill team was always a big dream of mine since I saw them perform at multiple of their schools football and basketball games. My parents took me to my first dance class when I was three years old and ever since I fell in love with that particular sport. I was different from all of the other kids at my school because they always got to play with the other kids from school and I always ended up having dance, but I didn’t mind because that was where most of my really close friends was at my childhood dance studio. I grew really attached to everything about that studio.

  • A Comparative Analysis: A Christmas Carol

    A Christmas Carols?: A Comparative Analysis Behind all of the spirits, money, and “Humbugs”, the reworkings of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol take many unique liberties in the specifics of the piece, particularly in their choice of setting, their visualization of thematic elements, and in their characterization of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge and those who help him (or her) to see the proverbial light. Analyzing both the diversities and correlations between Vanessa Williams’ A Diva’s Christmas Carol (as directed by Richard Shenkman) and Bill Murray’s Scrooged (as directed by Richard Donner), it is apparent how their particular approaches to Dickens’ original novella service them and set them apart from their more classic counterparts
