Pippin Essays

On Saturday, November 11, I attended a performance of Cabaret at Dutchess Community College. This musical is set in Berlin, 1931 Germany pre World War I as the Nazis are rising to power. It takes place in a nightclub, the Kit Kat Klub and revolves around an American writer named Cliff Bradshaw and his relationship with an English cabaret performer, Sally Bowles. The cast features six major characters: Sally Bowles, the headlining British singer at the Kit Kat Klub, the Emcee, or the Master of Ceremonies

very last scene of the musical, Pippin, the audience watches Pippin become enlightened by Catherine. Hence, Catherine plays the Deus Ex Machina in the musical. She helps Pippin come to terms with his life, as he struggles to find his identity and is in search of existential fulfillment throughout the story line. Pippin happens to be part of a troupe of actors with a Leading Player. Catherine is also an actress in the troupe. The Leading Player watches over Pippin as he encounters struggles with

Pippin continued to preside over Church councils and lead the army during campaign seasons. The reform movement set down by his father and Boniface continued to push forward, with the Church’s power continued to grow. Nevertheless the Church continued with its missionary project in Germany and helped create Bavarian Laws. Pippin and Charlemagne also share an interesting similarity. They both were anointed as king on two separate occasions. Pippin’s first anointing came from Boniface in 750, but also

Rome and stop Desiderius, the Lombard King. He forced him to surrender. Charlemagne also was able to get Desiderius’s son Adalgis, out of Italy. This was a major defeat for the Lombards (Einhard). Charlemagne had his son Pippin control Italy after their defeat. This was not Pippin the Hunchback, but his 5th child who was from his third wife, Hildegard (Becher

Another example would be the widely renowned play “Pippin,” written by Stephen Schwartz. “Pippin” recounts a relatable tale in which the play’s titular young prince seeks a “completely fulfilling” life; he ventures through all common paths: religion, war, revolution, and love, among others, until he finally settles for ordinary

During the 1993-1994 season, a season in which Jordan was retired, Pippin took over as the team’s best player. He registered his best statistical season, averaging a career high 22 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. He led the Bulls to 55 victories and finished third in the MVP voting. F- Luol Deng: 2004-2013 The Bulls

Aragorn comes from the line of kings and is willing to fight for his unclaimed kingdom. Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and Samwise are hobbits from the Shire who followed Frodo on his quest of the ring. Gimili is a dwarf from Erebor, son of the original company with Bilbo. Legolas is an elf, prince of Mirkwood. When we return to our characters in the third book

Merry and Pippin are well known pranksters and troublemakers in the

ways; after the passing of Gandalf he took charge as the leader, when Aragorn had the chance to take the ring from Frodo but overcame the temptation, and finally when Frodo and Sam separated from the group and Aragorn began the search for merry and pippin before anything terrible happened to them. During the Journey through the Mines of Moria they were faced with many conflicts. When Aragorn and the others witnessed Gandalf fight the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dum, Gandalf ended up being pulled

Seeing Pippin at the Academy of Music was a fascinating experience, especially to someone who has never seen the musical before. Although I can understand the criticism that is was better on Broadway, it was entertaining and thought provoking for me. However it posed some important departures from the original version, at an important time in circus history. The most important difference between the original Pippin from Broadway in the 1970’s and today is the ideological change in which the players

Like most popular novels and books that are turned into movie adaptations, filmmakers have the ability to make the movie either follow the book’s storyline intensely, or the new movie version of the book can be something entirely different than what readers may have expected. In the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, can be quite a disappointment for audiences who have read Tolkien’s original The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring since the film did not stay true

Animal testing is the experimentation used on animals for research to ensure the safety of everything ranging from medication to make up products (Murnaghan). An average of 26 million animals are victims of animal testing each year (Bardroff). This is a huge issue that needs to be addressed by everyone. Why should 26 million animals die each year from animal testing be ethical while testing on a single human being is seen as unethical? The Animal Welfare Act of 1966 was supposed to have eliminated

Orcs, Hobbits, and Elves; Oh, My! The Two Towers was a rather nerdy book, as many would imagine. There were many characters that played a major part in the plot. There is Frodo Baggins, Sam Gamgee, Gandalf the White, Pippin Took and Merry Brandybuck, and Gollum/Smeagle. Each character had a bit in the story that was important and benefits the story. The most important character to the story line is Frodo Baggins. Frodo is a hobbit from The Shire who gets coaxed into an adventure by an old family

specifically, the Pope. The Pope did not believe that his protector, the Emperor of Constantinople, would be able to protect him from the invading Lombard armies, so he turned to another Germanic kingdom, who he hoped, could stop the Lombards. Both Pippin and his son Charlemagne warred against the Lombards for significant portions of their reigns, however, Charlemagne finally defeated them in 774. War and the Church went hand-in-hand for the Carolingians with many of their wars having a religious

When adapting pop culture into different forms of media, it is necessary to change a variety of aspects to fit individualized nuances of each medium. The transformation of The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R.Tolkien, from a novel onto the screen is not an exception to this notion. However, Peter Jackson, the director of the popular film series, is known for staying fairly accurate to the original plot of the book. After all, when creating a film based off a novel, the director is not creating something

Rivendale. Before they left Gandalf also told them to meet him at the Prancing Pony in Bee. Gandalf went to see Saruman and tell him the news. Gandalf later learns that he has betrayed them and has went to the dark side. Frodo and Sam meet Merry and Pippin in a corn field. They both ask Frodo to join them on his journey. Frodo said yes and they went on. On their way to Bree they were chased by black riders (ring wraiths) that were once great kings.

novel that the soldiers are homesick because they find themselves alienated from society. They feel lonely and sick. "The cold sullen silence was with them always. Then three soldiers went insane in a week and cried all night and all day until they were sent away home" (Steinbeck 1954:324-5). It is also seen that the invaders look for a social and friendly interaction with the invaded. When they do not get it, they crave for their home. Tonder, the lieutenant, is so obsessed with constant alienation

When speaking about the race of Men, the focus is put on the main three members of the Fellowship, namely Aragorn, also known as Strider, Boromir and his younger brother Faramir. All three of them represent different types of masculinity. Aragorn is the one who plays the dominant role as a male who feels responsible for and protects the rest, as well as who behaves like a leader and imposes his leadership on others. Boromir and Faramir, on the other hand, play more subordinate roles, however, they

Introduction In this paper, I will involve in exploring one trait of a hero in a nuanced and complex way. I will build this complexity by discussing two heroes who posses this trait, and one who does not. To illustrate, an epic hero is a character in the epic story or poem who is brave and noble. I will involve in exploring three heroes (Beowulf, Odysseus and Merry). Two of these characters (Odysseus and Boewulf) exhibit bravery trait while the other (Merry) does not. Beowulf It is important to
