...literary criticism. The mechanisms of imagination are the focus of the book. Scarry classifies the actions of literature within the imagination of the individual reader, identifying five main devices: radiant ignition, rarity, dyadic addition and subtraction, stretching and floral supposition. Scarry adds to this already esoteric and complex classification three chapters on aspects of repicturing, addressing circles, skating and "quickening with flowers...
...Soleil show in your life, the experience is priceless. There are only four productions currently on stage in the U.S.--"O" at Bellagio, "Mystere" at Treasure Island in Las Vegas, "La Nouba" in Orlando and "Alegria" at the new Biloxi resort in Mississippi.

If Pixar goes independent, what happens to the Disney loyal fan base? Stay tuned. We'll have a full report for you coming soon... Pick...
...pleasure to the show. From brooms to newspapers to matchboxes to Zippos, the percussionists take the show to new levels of creativity. A rustled trash bag morphs into an extraordinary orchestra of sound. A routine sweeping becomes a rhythmic blast. Set in a hubcap-adorned industrial-metallic garage, the three female and five male cast members turn the beat-heavy sound into something more than just a tribute to the powers of rhythm...
