For this project, I chose to go to a concert with my parents at a bar they regularly attend. I chose this because I was interested in what they do on their nights out and they needed a designated driver. I borrowed a pair of boots from my mom and was set to boot-scoot and boogie. My method of observation was to ask questions, take notes and to participate. By participate I mean learning to two step and singing along to the few songs I knew. We were at a small to medium sized bar in Silsbee, Texas called Honky-Tonk Texas. There was a fairly sized dance floor and about 5 pool tables. There was medium sized window toward the middle of the bar, this was the restaurant. The bar was very loud, dark, and had a strong scent of smoke even though there were no smoking signs posted around. The …show more content…
Most women were wearing jeans embellished with rhinestones, a rhinestone belt, and boots. The people all seemed to be about middle class hard working people. Many men were sporting camo shirts and rubber boots, as they come in straight from the woods to enjoy the sweet sounds of country music and to have a refreshing beverage. I met one man in particular whom I asked some questions. He was a sixty-five-year-old man from Buna, Texas named, Roger. He and his wife have been going to Honky-Tonk Texas since it opened up. Roger could not remember how long it had been opened, but said that he has many plenty of great memories there. Roger also says him and his wife come here on week nights to enjoy some of the food served in the small restaurant inside of the bar. He claims the bar has the best burger in the area. Roger insisted upon buying me a burger, I did not refuse because I wanted to taste this excellent hamburger he had been telling me about for twenty minutes. I was not disappointed by the burger; it was by far one of the best I have ever had. After spending about forty-five minutes talking to Roger, I took to the dance
The most popular method for educators at the centre to build on children’s comments and conversations is by talking with them, particularly by talking through processes or experiences as they are happening. With infants this process of talking through experiences and processes seems more like narration. Spending time in the infant room feels solidary as I talk to myself for most of the day, however it is important to remind myself that the child is learning through my one-sided conversations. Baby’s language develops socially, they listen to those speaking around them and then begin to internalise the words that are high frequency (Clarke, 2004). As they develop their vocabulary grows as they build their repertoire through socialisation. Research
... presentation and added pictures to go with them. This was probably the longest part of the entire project. Then, I put animations in; I tried not to over exaggerate it. I got creative when it was time to put the music in. Society has a tune that is about society, as plain as it gets. With Advancements, came music that sounds futuristic. Which really goes with it. Spiritual was a tough decision. I could not determine between two songs. Comfort definitely had to be George Michael; he comforts everyone. Education is kind of based on a stereotype with the intelligent human beings being able to play piano. I absolutely had to use elevator music for simplicity. It does not get more simple than that! I enjoyed doing this project. I got to be creative but still be logical. Most fun project I have ever done honestly and I hope that future assigned projects are like this.
People had a lot of money to spend after the war, new fashion trends were popping up in every corner of the United States, and the nightlife became the center for social life. When the outlawing of alcohol started, the nightlife died but only for a short time. Many jazz clubs known as speakeasies kept the nightlife going and soon enough everybody was trying to get into one. What made these clubs grow so much in popularity was that it was a social place where people were able to both buy alcohol and dance. Both men and women alike were in the same crowded room and there was socializing, flirting, and dancing between the two sexes. Clubs during the 1920’s had played a major role in taking down the wall that separated men and women.”For the first time, women went out to drink too and occupied the same dark small, dark spaces as
According to The Nashville Sound, markers that include “rural origins, stylized sets, seemingly spontaneous performance, accessible performers, and heartfelt songs can characterize country music’s authenticity” (13). The foundations of what country music has originated from are incorporated within these markers and are used to separate the real from the fake. Early country music was a means of coping with a life of work and worries; it also brought communities of the impoverished together in fellowship. The establishment of these markers glimpses into the culture and realities of many country music artists before their fame. Take for instance a family sitting huddled together on a porch on a cool summer evening listening to a family member play the banjo while another sings along. Everyone is enjoying and living in that moment and all worries are far from mind. Country music made people feel at ease and comfortable, it brought people back to their memories of the good old days. This is the way country music sh...
The goal of my observation was to observe if the resident students leaving or entering Robertshaw Hall prefered to use one side of the staircase, specifically if subjects prefered to use one side to go down or up. I was not looking for any particular variable other than the side they chose to go down or up. The staircase has two sections, one on the right side and one on the left side separated by a railing. (The left/right side is determined as if you are looking down the staircase from the top.) Several choices were made before I started my observation. First, I decided to do the observation outside of Robertshaw Hall from the picnic tables facing the staircase leading from the building to the lower parking lot toward Chambers Hall. My observation ran from the time of 2:20 PM to 2:50 PM. This time and place was chosen
An entire week before thursday rolled around so that i could go back to the ASL table with my Gardner-Webb people. I found Lian and was glad that she came to the table tonight. She was sitting with Rian and they allowed me to join them. I asked Rian what she had been up to because I had seen very little of her in the past two weeks and she told me that she was working on the set for the Little shop of Horrors production on the following week. While she was explaining her role in helping with the set, I noticed that she used classifiers to explain how the set was assembled and how she painted it. After she discussed her job painting the set, i asked her what her plans were for next year, and she said graduate school. I informed her that I was
Eight minutes later, I face an unknown woman’s bedroom door, a shopping bag with three silk scarves dangling from one hand. On the trudge upstairs, I re-examined the wisdom of my decision. Being unresponsive to her generosity would seem suspicious. In contemporary Germany, jousting out of wedlock is an unconfessed national sport. Even in Munich.

The place where I feel the most comfortable, and show my personality, is my bedroom. This is the place where I can really be myself and do what I want; it’s the place I come home to, and wake up every day. My room makes me feel comfortable because it is my own space. My house is always crazy, with my dog barking, and my siblings running around making noise, my room is the only place in the house where I can come and relax without caring about everything else, the only place that I can go to clear my mind.

On September 12, 2014, I observed two people; Person A and Person B. The observation took place at Applebee’s, a local restaurant, beginning at 7:21 p.m. and ending observation at 8:06 p.m. I was serving their table for the evening, enabling myself to observe them closely. The restaurant had died down from the dinner rush, leaving them one of three tables in the smoking section, normally filled with eight. Along with the outside light fading, the lighting indoors was dim, making the dining experience feel more quiet and intimate. The background noise was filled with a light roar of other group’s conversations, and a jazz station played quietly from the speakers overhead.
E.M. Forster lived in a period of time where change was all around him. Through his novels, he attempted to call attention to the changes he really wished to see. At the time, social class played a big role in how people understood life. People married within their class and did not go against their elders. Forster emphasized this through Lucy Honeychurch, who goes along with what her cousin and mother tell her, and does not question too much. She obeys the rules and does not speak out of turn. The importance of social class is also a major reason as to why Lucy agrees to marry Cecil instead of following her confusing, yet real, feelings for George. However, the point of Forster’s writing is not to discuss the way things are, but to change them. E.M. Forster used his novel, A Room with a View, to challenge the importance of social class by showing extreme contrast with several characters, as well as using setting to help form Lucy’s transformation.
I slid down off of my barstool and picked my way across the room. Luckily, the women’s restroom wasn’t too far because it was a crowded night at the bar. I opened the large wooden door and was surprised to see that even though there appeared to be another girl waiting, one of the two stalls empty.
The moment I got to the Jam house in Scottsville Kentucky, I felt very comfortable. Sure the clothing was very dated, but nothing seemed to be abnormal about it. It felt like I walked onto the set of ‘Little House on the Prairie’. The people however, were actually very
For my project, I did many different activities. The first activity I completed was observing a Davidson County School Board meeting on the topic of an information breach that occurred. The next activity I completed was collecting trash around the Ledford High School campus on two different occasions. Then I was a buddy for a Special Olympics athlete when it was held at Ledford. Finally, I was a buddy for multiple athletes at the Miracle League of High Point.
