Progress

So after getting some well needed feed back on my essay, I decided to take my essay to the writing center before submitting it to professor. For as long I have been studying at QCC, Ive never taken a single paper to the writing center. After sitting down for nearly an hour, I am surprised to say that I received many tips and trick to enhance my writing ability. For something that is already included in our tuition I do recommend visiting the writing center before submitting your paper. Although many may this that there paper might be an A quality, for a mere hour of your time you can have a individual assure you that you have taken the wright track when developing a well written essay. So I have for you to be the writing center for me and give me pointers on my path to receiving an A. 

Beginning with Alfred E. Green’s Drama and Romance film you can innately realize that the world they are living in isn't so pleasant. As the movie began, the director displayed a giant factory spewing pollution into the air. This gave a sense of chaos and destruction within the society. Along this scene came a showing of a group of men dressed in raggedy work clothes on the way to the spittoon.

Lily’s father is the owner of this establishment and is known for his abusive attitude towards his daughter and employees. He decides to use her charming looks in order to elude man to do what he wants. In this scene you can tell that Lily is fed up with all these foolish antics and no longer wishes to play a part for her father. Turning down a high paid business men, she angers her father because her actions cost him his bar. Overwhelmed with rage, Lily leaves home with Chico formally known as Theresa Harris. Fleeing to the only man she trust’s, she sees a cobbler man who pleads to her that she has power over men. He tells her that instead of letting men take advantage of her, “use your good looks to persuade men” to do what she so pleases. To get a better sense of Lily's well equipped personality, I would describe her as a flapper. A flapper is a short haired woman who wears excessive makeup, drinks, and treats sex as a casual activity. All of which are attributes Lily beholds...
