He starts talking about the flowers and how beautiful they are, and this makes Elisa feel beautiful and valued. A stranger is noticing her “place”, her hard work.

Emmaneul Mensah Caitlin O’Neil Music 150 3 – 31 – 2010 Midsemester Paper The performance by Lowell Lieberman Concerto for Clarinet, orchestra, and the Beethoven Emperor Concerto by Jon Nakamatsu, piano soloist was quite a spectacular performance. Both performances were very entertaining and professional as well. In the commencement of the show, I was anticipating seeing some kind of unexciting show, but as the show progressed, I found it to be very interesting through their interaction with the audience. I became very attentive to each performance they displaced and often found myself drawn in by their performance. Both musical performers incorporated unique musical elements such as melody, harmony rhythm to mention a few.
"The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket" Essay one "To Be or Not To Be Skunked" “The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket” is a fable, told by an unknown narrator who encounters a group of children who are on an insect hunt at the University. Each of the children is holding an exquisitely colorful lantern. “There were about twenty lanterns. Not only were there crimson, pink, indigo, green, purple, and yellow lanterns, but one lantern glowed with five colors at once”. The patterns and artwork helped to emit a rainbow of color and artistry.
She deceives her readers in order to astonish them with the conclusion. The first paragraph states, “It was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green” (Jackson). Jackson tells of the friendly people and the playful children around town. This appealing first impression of the town interests readers and amplifies the horror of the ending. By connecting the character in her story to the readers, Jackson demonstrates the wickedness of
The song playing in the background over people having fun makes the audience believe they should jump on the “love train” and buy the product to indulge in a thriving social life and to have a good time. The advertisement shows the people with the product having a good time doing “American things” such as watching a NASCAR race or playing volleyball at the beach, cameos of farms in the Midwest to oil wells in Texas, and celebrities at a Hollywood premiere. It makes the person watching the advertisement feel like they are apart of this big diverse group that includes people from all over the country and from the range of middle class to Hollywood celebrity. All of these elements make for a successful commercial in the American
The professors placed him in a cage and studied him as if he were a rat or a monkey. Soon the slender alien learned to sensibly string many words and phrases together. One might have thought he knew what they meant--if one was silly. He tried to teach his academic jailers the superior language of the universe, but they jeered at him: parrot-talk! He tried to teach them logic, for which deed he had to endure resentment and blows.The mathematicians were amazed at his mathematical prowess, but they got furious when he tried to impart his knowledge of advanced extraterrestrial math.
During all of the performance I was so intrigued with how well the band performed at times for forgot to write notes for my critique paper. Yes, I was that into it as well as the entire audience. After the intermission the second portion of the concert was the CSN Wednesday Night Jazz Band. Directed by Dr. Richard McGee. This band consisted of Saxes, Trumpets, Trombones, Piano, Bass, Guitar and Drums.
I enjoyed the way that Mr. Soto described the weather and the lovely girl that he first held hands with and the way the candy was tiered in the store. Also, the rhythm flowed nicely throughout the whole poem. Poetry that rhymes and flows easily holds my attention more than poetry that doesn’t rhyme. As stated before, Gary Soto writes mostly about Mexican-American culture and the farming industry in central California but what I enjoyed about “Oranges” is the description of the first love of this young man and how he impressed the girl he was with when he used an orange to help buy the chocolate that she picked out. It reminded me of myself in my youth when my first love gave me a hand drawn picture of on oriole that he drew for me for Valentine’s Day.
Light imagery is used prominently throughout the novel The Great Gatsby, especially in chapters 5 and 8. The romance between Gatsby and Daisy is a major theme throughout the novel and light is used frequently to display this. When Gatsby’s house “lit up like the world fair” and the light “felt unreal on the shrubbery”, it represents his wealth and how he wants to impress Daisy. Gatsby is also described as an “ecstatic patron of recurrent light” when he is talking to Daisy about the “twinkle bells of sunshine in the room”. Daisy is described as “gleaming like silver” which represents her wealth and she is a part of the “secret society to which she and Tom belonged” which shows how she is ‘above’ everyone.
I ask Aaron what he thought of the lake and he responds, “I'm surprised to see this many types of mushroom fruiting in early October. I guess last weeks rains brought the season with them early.” This last place was my favorite because I saw so much beauty here. Being on this trip changed my perspective about observing and that I need to observe more. The more I observed on this trip the more I saw how beautiful things were and that the trip helped me improve my seeing. This act of observation helped enhance the whole adventure.
