Bad Cinderella vs The Heist at the Ball.pptxmijilata
This powerpoint summarizes and compares the book The Heist at the Ball by J.M. Knight and the musical Bad Cinderella by Andrew Lloyd webber. version 1 since I will probably have to redo it later
Bad Cinderella is a 2021 musical that ran on Broadway for 12 months and abruptly shut down. ALW actually had a little controversy at the end because hd didn't show up to the last show and instead wrote a letter for the stars to read after taking their bows. The show received mostly bad reviews,
similar to The Heist at the Ball by J.M. Knight, which is a book very similar about a boy who wants to rob a castle and make money for his girl. It's also a cinderella story but instead of her being the main character it's her love interest. There was bad reception for this too. Thought it would be funny to compare.

+10/-5 for the theme after question 5
128. 1. Al Kooper picked a famous phrase as the
name for his new jazz-rock band in 1967. He
could hardly have known how apt a choice it
was. The band has gone through more
disagreements, sackings and changes of
direction than most, with at least 140
musicians having been members at some
point.
Which
band?
129. 2. What was the title of
this book of essays by
Aldous Huxley? It was
subtitled “an Enquiry
Into the Nature of Ideals
and Into the Methods
Employed
for
Their
Realization”
131. 4. It is a pastry of French origin that is akin to a
highly
enriched
bread,
and
whose
high egg and butter content give it a rich and
tender crumb. It is "light and slightly puffy,
more or less fine, according to the proportion
of butter and eggs" It has a dark, golden, and
flaky crust, frequently accentuated by an egg
wash applied after proofing. Name it.
(Image in the next slide)
132. 5. What is being described?
Rob often calls it a bromance, but one of the
bros just happens to be a woman. He said
that from the very beginning and I think it's
really an apt description. There's this idea that
a man and a woman can't be together on a
show especially without needing to be
together sexually or in love or whatever, and
this is really about the evolution of a friendship
and how that happens. Watching that should
be as much the story of this show as the
mysteries that you see week in and week out
about who killed who.

147. • "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" – Winston Churchill
• Correct quote: "I have nothing to offer but blood,
toil, tears and sweat."
• The end justifies the means.
• Often misattributed to Machiavelli's The Prince, in
which the idea appears, but not the phrase itself,
and to many other writers who repeat this aphorism.
• "Play it again, Sam“
• Actual quote: "Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake,
play 'As Time Goes By'." – Ingrid Bergman
• Actual quote: "You played it for her, you can play it
for me. ... If she can stand to listen to it, I can. Play
it." – Humphrey Bogart
148. • Let them eat cake.
• This was never said by Marie Antoinette. Jean-Jacques
Rousseau, in his 1783 autobiography Confessions, relates
that "a great princess" is said to have advised, with
regard to starving peasants, "S‟ils n‟ont plus de pain,
qu‟ils mangent de la brioche," commonly translated as
"If they have no bread, let them eat cake!" It has been
speculated that he was actually referring to Maria
Theresa of Spain. (Rousseau's manuscript was written in
1767, when Marie Antoinette was only 12 and would not
marry the future Louis XVI for another three years.)
• "Elementary, my dear Watson" – Sherlock Holmes
• This phrase was never uttered by the character in any
of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's written works. Though
"Elementary," and "...my dear Watson." both do appear
near the beginning of The Crooked Man (1893), it is
the "...my dear Watson" that appears first,
and "Elementary" is the succinct reply to Watson's
exclamation a few lines of dialogue later. This is the
closest these four immortal words ever appear together
in the canon.
