Imogen Heap tells a story in her new album Sparks (released August 19th). No, it’s not a single narrative construct built from the individual tracks. Rather it’s a story of risk, playfulness and joie de vivre. It is a story of embracing and sharing musically all sorts of different experiences, interactions and cultures. If you haven’t chanced upon Ms. Heap’s music, she has a beautifully unique voice which avoids making every song sound alike by her incredible range of songs, embracing experimentation
Introduction After the marriage preparation course, teacher Phú proposed a party to put an unforgettable ending on our four-months marriage preparation course. After a brief discussion, we decided to ‘ăn niệu’. On a joyful atmosphere, we headed to Karaoke after the dinner. In the Karaoke, I heard a woman sang the song ‘duyên phận’. I was immediately attracted by the song. Using the first-person narration, the song tells a story of young women, who is worried about her impending arranged marriage:
be, and phantoms are formed from this ideal. Doris Lessing’s “To Room Nineteen” and Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas are both examples of how different people live with ambiguity. However, Virginia Woolf’s “Professions for Women” most clearly explains how society’s ideals affect its members. In the essay, Woolf speaks of how society’s expectations of a female writer manifested into the form of benevolent angel—who tried to repress Woolf’s naturally honest way of writing. The phantoms are created
incurs punishment and seeks redemption; or, in other words, becomes anxiously aware of his relation to the God of Law (as symbolized by the Sun), and in his sub-consciousness earnestly entreats the forgiveness of the God of Love (represented by the Moon-symbol). ... For Professor Lowes, while he has disclosed a Coleridge of amazing intellectual grasp ... stops short on the border line of purely imaginative experience. In his long study of The Ancient Mariner, he seems to miss the essential allegory
Among the most classic Japanese Nō dramas is none other than Izutsu, or “The Well-Cradle” as often translated in English. Written by Zeami who is perhaps the most influential playwright to the Nō Theater, Izutsu was composed around the late 14th century during the Muromachi Period in Japan. In comparison with other Nō plays, it is relatively simple in nature as there are only three roles that need to be played—shite, waki, and ai—and the story is very characteristic of the typical Nō drama (Araki
This was where she began to feel somewhat scandalous. She had run away from her home aided by a housemaid when Raoul had been called away on business matters. Now, as a married woman, she was wandering the streets of Paris under the dim light of the moon without a trustworthy chaperone. She felt there was a great chance that some drunken man would stumble out of a bar and believe her to be a harlot, a fille de joie. Christine was deathly terrified of being assaulted by someone in this way. She had
Our Solar System is vast and mysterious. The solar system contains but is not limited to planets, meteoroids, stars, and comets. Some of the most famous comets are Hale-Bopp, Swift-Tuttle. However, Halley’s Comet is the most famous due to its frequent returns to Earth. A comet is a celestial object consisting of a nucleus of ice and dust and, when near the sun, a “tail” of gas and dust particles pointing away from the sun. Halley’s Comet is most famous for its seventy-five year orbital. Edmund
The Solar System is home to many materials including (Planets, Moons, Stars, Galaxies, Nebula, The Universe, a Solar System, the Kuiper Belt, the Oort Cloud, planetesimals, Trans-Neptunian Objects, Comets, Asteroid, a Meteor) including (Meteoroid and Meteorite). Planets: A planet is mass that is or almost round, that orbits around the sun. It is not a satellite or a moon that orbits another object, it’s the object that gets orbited.There are eight planets that orbit the sun. These planets have formed
truly captures the spirit and heart of the American people during the early 1970s. Apollo 13 was created in 1995 and set in 1970. The movie begins with astronaut Jim Lovell hosting a house party, where guests watch Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon. During the inspiring scene, he tells
There are many people who see space as the last and greatest frontier for humankind. There are many groups who are leading the way and NASA is one of them. But should our tax dollars be invested in such an idea? No, according to British history professor Jerry DeGroot. His thesis, in the article “is that United States should, a sensually, defund NASA. From what I can tell, he uses mainly pathos to try to sway his argument, leaving very little appeals to ethos and practically none to logos. I’m going
Moon Landing Hoax John F. Kennedy once said, "No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard”. The main motive for this quote was to ensure that the United States wanted to beat out the Soviets in the space race. Ever since the Soviets tried to advance on the moon, the United States wanted to be the first successful
that a planet, or object, the size of Mars crashed with the planet Earth, and the debris from the crash grew together to make the moon. The tests showed that the theory may actually be correct. They showed that some of the minerals of the moon were very similar to ones on Earth. This might help prove that some of the minerals from Earth collected to help form the moon after the massive collision. The first lunar landing proved that this world is more capable than anyone ever thought. It may be
coincide with the themes of coming of age and inevitable death. To support the coming of age theme, a symbol of the moon and sun were applied in “Flight.” The moon helped Pepé travel easier and protected him against his pursuers. It was described as a “…withered moon” which symbolizes the peaceful transition of a person on their walk of life towards old age (Steinbeck 472). The moon was like a guardian for Pepé, keeping him impervious to the pursuers on his journey through the mountains. On the other
Hanshan, a legendary figure from the Chinese Tang period, is attributed with a collection of poems which are among the fines expression of Zen Buddhism, often remarking on life's short and transient nature, and the necessity of meditation as means to enlightenment. Today, there are many variations of translations of the collection of poems, some of which may be similar or different to Hanshan’s view of enlightenment. Not only does the variety of translations give different meaning to the poetry,
He also references people such as, astronomer Nicholas Copernicus, philosopher Aristotle, Martin Luther, Galileo, and John Calvin. Throughout history, it has been argued as to whether or not the earth moves, or if it is fixed in space and the sun, moon, and other planets orbit around the earth. Lennox explains the theories of the different people mentioned earlier and why they thought what they thought. Scientist tended to believe the earth moved and everything else stood still. However, many Christians
geopolitical conflict. The Apollo 11 broadcast also had a significant worldwide impact, surpassing international boundaries as people witnessed the first of mankind to set foot on another planet. Yet possibly the most remarkable and unforeseen effect of the moon-landing television broadcast was that it changed the public perspective of the world, showing people the relative fragility and insignificance of the Earth in the vast
Avatar the motion picture throws you into a rich world, with diverse characters who clash over cultural and socio-economic issues. At the heart of the story is a former Marine named Jake Sully, who falls in love while on an alien planet with a woman from a race of people called the Na’vi. The character whom he falls in love with is an alien for which he sacrifices his whole way of life to be with. By way of his experiences with the Na’vi, he begins to adopt a new worldview, which can only be described
From the moment electronics came into my life, I was captivated. It seemed to me that the world was conquered by them. From a tiny calculator to massive rockets; electronics seemed to have taken everything by storm. I wanted to know how the LEDs glow, how it was possible to call each other through a mobile phone and all other such mysteries. Thus, electronics and communication was my natural choice as a major during my bachelors. While pursuing bachelors in my college, I was blessed with many opportunities
Teacher Content Knowledge: The moon is much smaller than the earth is, in fact the earth is more than one quarter of the size of the earth. The fact that the moon much smaller means that there is much less gravity on the moon than we have on earth, though, there is still gravity on the moon. The amount of gravity on the moon is one sixth of the amount of gravity we have here on earth. On the moon, there are only two types of regions, however, despite the fact that there are just two regions, there
Reading Poetry by the Morning Moon Wind sweeps a stray cloud across the sky, exposing half of a gray-mottled moon. It’s nine-thirty in the morning, and the moon looks like an island in a pellucid sea. Sitting in the mossy crook of a hickory tree, my legs dangle above the creek. A walnut leaf drifts past, on its way through the valley, destined for the river and finally the bay. For a moment, I think of taking off my sneakers and socks, rolling up my jeans, and dipping my toes into the soft silt
