script. Before we even began, the director asked us to decide whether we wanted to have an acting role or a backstage role. After the rough job descriptions of each role were briefly explained to us, we were asked to research the job of our choice and present our findings in an interview. After getting my job as the front of house manager, I began developing my understanding of the duties and responsibilities involved.

Bob Dylan’s controversial win of the Nobel Prize in Literature garnered many heated arguments. Some thought it was a well-deserved win while the others lamented the missed opportunity to laud a more deserving writer, raising the question of whether lyrics can even be considered as literature. I argue that lyrics are indeed literature, and Dylan deserves the award not only because lyrics are literature but also because his works are great literature. Furthermore, I write my own lyrics to mimic Dylan’s
Though the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature is typically fraught with some degree of contention, the Swedish Academy’s decision to present legendary musician Bob Dylan with the award stands as one of its most controversial selections.

As Aunt Georgiana continues to live with Mr. Clark, she cannot help but think about how she wanted to live her own life without anyone
Philosophers in the World Philosophers are often thought of as hopelessly inept in the “real” world, the theoretical counterparts of the 90-pound weakling on the beach of the material world. Nothing could be more mistaken. As mentioned, Alexander the Great studied with Aristotle and then went on to conquer the world (well, the parts of the world the Greeks knew). Coincidence? Perhaps, but the extent to which other ancient figures were influenced by philosophy is far less ambiguous. To

This can be further explored through her word and story choice and what it symbolises, behaviour of life forms around the river and what it conveys. The poem’s hero or rather a villain (as he causes destruction) is Pan – Greek God of pastures, shepherds and flocks, rustic music and companion of nymphs

The individual that I have chosen to write my music writing assignment about is Luciano Pavarotti who was in my opinion the greatest opera singer of the twentieth century. but I must be honest with you I have never heard this musician sing until I was bored one day and started trying to discover new genres of music to listen to and I typed in his name on google and that website

there are two different ways of interpreting Slavitt’s poem.

teacher, Ludwig Wolfsohn, at age 14. Copland said later, “No one ever connected music with my family. The idea was entirely original with me.

He graduated in 1918 and was able to devote all his time to writing and composing music. Wanting to further his knowledge in music, he was taught harmony and counterpoint by Rubin Goldmark.
