I love music and always have. My love for music has pushed me to learn to play the violin. I’ve played the violin for about 9 years, but have just started to get serious about it this summer. During the summer, I played in a pit for a play. The pit is basically live music and sound effects played by an extremely small orchestra in a 15” by 30” foot hole right before the stage. It was my first time doing plays, so imagine my horror when I realize all of our rehearsals, which were four excruciating, long hours, were in the deep, freezing cold hole that felt like a danky basement. Even though the pit was cold, I still enjoyed it. We played Beauty & The Beast, it was really fun. Plays are very time consuming, so during the school year I just
Lily is thinking “how much older fourteen had made [her]. In the space of a few hours [she’d] become forty years old.” She makes this connection after she realizes that maybe her mother's death could have not been her fault and that it could have been T. Ray’s and he was punishing her for it. This caused Lily to pack “...5 pairs of shorts, tops, ... shampoo, toothpaste...” $38 and a map (41-42). By doing this, it made her feel like she had aged, feeling like a 40 year old.
Elise hastily rushed to her tent to tend her father, named Jarvan, because of a horrendous wound that was made from a plasma bullet. The wound was turned into a hole in the skin after the plasma instantly evaporated. It took several hours to stop the bleeding using a cloth. As Elise’s father was resting, she went to find some valuables that might have been with the dead body that she had killed. Unfortunately, the body was gone and she came back empty handed. As soon as Elise came back, my father and I talked about the missing body and the ways we can leave this foul planet.
Why would you ever want to be?! Is mainstream violinist what you want to be? Do you can to blend in with everyone else and not stand out? Violins are the smallest instruments in the orchestra. Who wants that tiny thing? It’ll get lost easily because of that size! They are the most played instrument and tend to have a large group of players so your sound will probably be masked by the others. Many times violists start on a violin because it’s a smaller size, but then change over to the viola as they grow older (that’s because we’re amazing). The violins are also the self-centered instruments because they always want to have the melodies and they think they’re the best when in reality they aren’t. OH! When they are played wrong, it is one. Of. The. Worst. Sounds. Ever. They sound like dying cats on that E string if they are out of tune! I can’t imagine anyone would intend to play
Robert Browning’s My Last Duchess is a dramatic monologue narrated by the Duke of Ferrara Even a passing gaze to this poem would paint a picture of a selfish prick of a husband and a wife whose mere fault was naivete, someone who was merely appreciative of the beauty around her, a quality that bugged her husband to the point where he accuses her of being unfaithful and gets her killed. The narrator of the poem indicates an arrogance embedded so deep in a bold sense of male superiority.
My fingers ran in a blur over the black and white keys, hitting the right notes at the exact moment—it was mindless work. The chords struck true until the end of the piece; once I finished, it was time for me to repeat.
This elderly patient was so bossy just now. If you don't your doing don't stick me I need a butterfly. So I get the butterfly stick me right here on my hand. Me: that's your bone shit see you don't know what your doing.
[Pause] It does not escape me for one moment that the joy I feel right now is thanks to the incredible Geraldine Brooks, for while this play is a historical piece, it acts as a mirror for all of us today. I want to thank the spirit of Anna for her guidance and for Brooks for creating such a beautiful heroine who’s journey has transformed the lives of so many: it transformed mine.
No, Sam can’t sue Mary for breach of contract. Although the basic terms of price and property (the violin) had been contained in this case, the violin with price displayed is an invitation to treat, not an offer. Offer is defined as the expression of one person’s intention to others to have a legally binding agreement, so an offer must show the intention of the offeror (Mary) to make
Damon Salvatore Alex Hershman I tried to forget about her for years, but when she was standing there in front of me, how could I? Only it wasn’t Catherine. Her name was Elena, and she was in love with my brother, the only family I had left. He needed her more than I did. I accepted that Elena wasn’t Cathrine.
I recently went to go see the play The 39 Steps. The play was at Western Illinois university at Horrabin theatre in Horrabin Hall. The play was very interesting. I really enjoyed the plot of the play. As for how I felt on the day of the play I was cold, it was cold outside and was cold inside the theater.
Hello, Efrain! Thanks for the message. Yes, I have seen the picture with butterflies absorbing minerals. I appreciate the artistry of the picture: the vivid butterflies on the background of the plain black soil with patches of reflected light.
Economic and social differences have caused tension in the United States throughout its history. Grace King’s short story “La Grande Demoiselle” is a third person narrative that describes the economic and social inconsistencies between the north and south. These inconsistencies are what ultimately led to the American Civil War. Set in New Orleans, the story recounts the life of a wealthy plantation owner’s daughter, Idalie Sainte Foy Mortemart des Islets, before and after the Civil War. During this era the northern states economy were industry based, where as the southern states economy were based on agriculture (Smith 203-204). This economic difference created a northern economy that had evolved into people of all cultures and classes
On the drive home from Scott’s birthday bash, the night’s events blitz my brain. What in the hell possessed me to bring up Elizabeth? Not that I regret it, I don’t. His secret festered inside me.
The first step of the process was to go shadow the play during rehearsal hours. This experience was awesome and very educational. When I first went into the rehearsal I thought it would be way more different than what it actually was. My first initial thoughts were that it would be really
When discussing the poetic form of dramatic monologue it is rare that it is not associated with and its usage attributed to the poet Robert Browning. Robert Browning has been considered the master of the dramatic monologue. Although some critics are skeptical of his invention of the form, for dramatic monologue is evidenced in poetry preceding Browning, it is believed that his extensive and varied use of the dramatic monologue has significantly contributed to the form and has had an enormous impact on modern poetry. "The dramatic monologues of Robert Browning represent the most significant use of the form in postromantic poetry" (Preminger and Brogan 799). The dramatic monologue as we understand it today "is a lyric poem in which the speaker addresses a silent listener, revealing himself in the context of a dramatic situation" (Murfin 97). "The character is speaking to an identifiable but silent listener at a dramatic moment in the speaker's life. The circumstances surrounding the conversation, one side which we "hear" as the dramatic monologue, are made by clear implication, and an insight into the character of the speaker may result" (Holman and Harmon 152).
