my movie

When I went on my eighth grade trip to new york we saw the play memphis that I told you about in the last letter. The movie is about race and music and how it brings people together. The two races that are againts each other is White and Blacks. In the beginning of the play it starts of in a down town club on the streets of memphis with the sound of blues flowing through the air. The leading characters are Felicia Farrel and Huey Calhoun. They meet in her brothers all Blacks night club, and he's White. At firsts the brother wanted to kick him out but had a change of heart when started singing their type of music witch was rock and roll. He promises Felicia that he would get her on the radio so that every body can hear her voice. Soon enough Huey manages to get her on the radio and every body loves her. Eventually Huey became Famous and was given his own t.v show. Also Huey and Felicia had grown fond of each other and began to fall in love. At first their love was secret, until they were caught kissing after he had purposed to Felicia. They beat him and Felicia up and she had to go to the hospital. Her brother did not want them to see each other ever again. He couldn't keep them away from each other if he wanted to. A record company wanted Felicia to sign with them, but they said that Huey and Felicia couldn't be seen together. On his t.v show which has an all black cast he thought that he would show the world how much he really loved her. So on national t.v he kissed her and all of Memphis saw the kiss. His t.v show was taken away from him and he was shunned by everybody. Felicia moved to New York and signed with the record company. Four years later, Felicia returned to see him amd he had his own radio show again, but only had one listener. When she returned she was engaged. She had an concert in town and decided to stop by and visit for a minute. She asked him to sing with her at the concert but refused because he didn't like she was engaged. In the end he ended up singing the end of the song her and they became good friends and they moved on with there lives.
