The use of similes also gives the reader a clearer image of what this may have looked like by giving them objects to compare each aspect of the birds to. For example Dillard compares the motion of the birds as a group to “whirling like smoke” and the sound of the birds flying by to the sound of “a million shook rugs.” Dillard also uses personification in the last paragraph to describe her reaction to the bird’s flight. The expression “my lungs roared,” uses personification to describe how she felt blown away and was left breathless by the unexpected beauty of the flock of starlings flying
2) Why does the bird need “hair to line its nest”? So they can successfully procreate. 3) The poet details the process, choosing precisely the best adjectives and adverbs to capture the sensations. List these words from the text. Prickly, tugging.
The voices are set up as to where I hear it clearly, you can hear the elegance and the sophistication. Madrigals on the other hand, when I clicked the Weelkes: As Vesta Was From Latmos Hill Descending track the tones fluctuate consistently compared to Ave Maria, Gratia Plena and it indeed was very noticeable. I then listened to Song Of The Birds (Chant Des Oiseaux) and thought jellybeans. I thought jellybeans because the voices and sounds and beats were all over the place. The texture and sounds were colorful, when the lady sang I saw greens and at the end a semi blue.
. The rhythm of the poem ‘Magpies’ is at a medium pace. The rhythm of this poem pulls the reader in and makes them feel the relaxed and then in the second stanza in a panic, and in the third appreciation that magpies can sing beautifully and that they thank God with every note. The rhythm also helps the reader to feel the descriptive words in the poem such as clashing beaks and greedy eyes. The sound devices used in this poem are assonance, alliteration and rhyme.
UNIT 1 ASSIGNMENT BIOLOGY (SCIE206-1303B-04) JANET ANDREWS LORENZO JAMES 9-3-2013 INTRODUCTION: When taking a hike, you notice that a ruby throated hummingbird seems interested in your red hat. It hovers over the hat then darts away, the question being asked is do hummingbirds prefer some colors more then others when visiting flowers? HYPOTHESIS: My hypothesis towards this observation would be hummingbirds may or might be attracted to certain colors or a certain color. They may also be attracted to certain types of scents or movements, I really cant pinpoint the exact stimulation or interest of the hummingbird. PREDICTION: If the experiment shows that the hummingbird is attracted to the different colors, scents or movements, then that would mean that my hypothesis was definitely a true statement and this would confirm my guess was correct.
There is an ascending motive going up a tone then back down a semitone. Purcell immediately introduces the two different themes with the first theme in the 1st altos and the second overlapping in the first sopranos. The two themes marry together in a dissonant manner. This chromaticism emerges from modal and tonal form. Purcell layers the motives to create greater dissonance, for example in bar 8 with an A natural in the second sopranos and a G natural in the first altos.
Birds Essay John James Audubon, author of Ornithological Biographies, conveys his outlook on a flock of birds that surrounds him overhead; in comparison, Annie Dillard, author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, intimates her deepest thoughts on this wonder. In light of this, each author dissimilarly conveys an intense affection for birds; Audubon asserts a scientific and objective approach, whereas Dillard provides a more spiritual and less objective perspective. Although both authors love birds, their viewpoints differ on a magnified level. Taking a scientific approach on the subject, Audubon views the sky as “filled with pigeons... the light of noonday was obscured as by an eclipse...” (16-17). Providing figurative language, Audubon compares the darkness of a group of pigeons to a rare scientific phenomenon that only an intellectual might consider.
Everyone searches for this territory, builds it, lives on it, and dies for it. In the readings, Eiseley narrates four philosophic and poetic stories, using significant and vivid symbols to express homesickness, while Morris divides “territorial behavior” into three categories, using vague classifications and simple examples to convey the same sentiment. However, the imagination-based “The Brown Wasps” leaves readers a more memorable and persuasive impression than the fact-based “Territorial Behavior.” In the first essay, Eiseley narrates a series of lively and thought-provoking anecdotes and suggests deep in each human heart lives a kind of homing instinct. Special territories and the related memories are what the characters hold on to. Even though nests, hives, and stations disappear physically, they are “still part of elusive world that existed nowhere and yet everywhere” (160) in the characters’ hearts.
In many respects human song is a form of sustained speech, nearly anyone able to speak can also sing [1]. In its physical aspect, singing has a well-defined technique that depends on the use of the lungs, which act as an air supply, or bellows; on the larynx,
A faster rhythm shows more joyful emotions, while a slower rhythm may have the opposite meaning. Most people recognize the melody of a song, without even knowing the true definition of melody. Melody is a series of notes that end up being the most recognized and repeated parts of a song through the use of phrases. Melodies are the horizontal progressions in songs. In lyrical forms of music, the melody of a song revolves around that one catchy lyric that people just cannot seem to forget.
