Chinese Arts And Crafts
.... in harmony, and the rhythms are typically Chinese. Chinese melodies are very different from American tunes. Chinese scales are extremely different from American ones. Chinese music is built on five or seven notes. American music is built on the eight-note octave, with five half notes. Many Chinese tunes are never written on paper. They are remembered and taught to younger musicians.
The Chinese use stringed instruments, similar to mandolins. They also use many bells, gongs, and reed instruments. Malm says, "There are descriptions of musical instruments which, in China, give us tantalizing hints of the fl .....

Stand By Me: Review
.... Since the story took place in the 50’s of 60’s, most of the songs were from that time period. They usually came at points in the movie when nothing much else was happening. Either that or it was source music coming from the radio in the car. It mostly reminded me of care free living, and growing up listening to this type of music in the car with my parents. The few examples that I have are when they are walking down the railroad tracks and there was a song in the background. Another was when the older gang was driving to find the body, and the game of chicken was being played, there was a song that was a "driving" song ba .....

Hamlet: Madman Or Misunderstood
.... play, especially towards Ophelia, is inconsistent. He jumps into Ophelia's grave, and fights with Laertes in her grave. During the fight with Laertes in Ophelia's grave, Hamlet professed how much he loved her when he said, "Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum" [Act V, scene I, lines 272- 274). However, Hamlet told her that he never loved her when she returned his letters and gifts while she was still alive. Hamlet subtly hints his awareness of his dissolving sanity as he tells Laertes that he killed Polonius in a fit of rage.
Hamlet had violent outbursts towards his mother. They se .....

The Swamp Dwellers: Tragic Flaw Of Igwezu
.... No one questioned where the goods went, because it was almost blasphemous to do so. “Makuri: I must go after him [Kadiye] or he’ll stir up the village against us. This is you home, Igwezu, and I would not drive you from it for the entire world. But it might be best for you if you went back to the city until this is forgotten.” Yet, Igwezu had the courage to face the useless Kadiye and become a “slayer of serpents”. He was able to see through tradition and realize that the Kadiye had nothing to do with the nature of the swamp.
Igwezu: I know that the floods can come again. That
the swamp will continue to laug .....

The Tragedy Of King Richard III: Richard
.... be an outward indication to the audience of the viciousness of his spirit. The concept of Richard's physical isolation is reinforced in his dealings with Anne. She calls him "thou lump of foul deformity" and "fouler toad" during their exchange. Despite these insults, however, she still makes time to talk to Richard, and by the end of their exchange, she has taken his ring. Physical isolation in Richard's deformity wins sympathy from the audience as he is offered pity in his condition. Richard uses his deformity as a tool against the other characters, to portray them as victimizing Richard. Thus, the sense of tragedy is lessene .....

Are Traditional Methods Of Rendering Obsolete Or Not
.... people will be crying out for the personal touch of a photographer using chemicals in a darkroom. The images produced will not necessarily look traditional but they will use the methods traditionally used to produce effects which can't be produced by a computer. There are many different looks that can be produced by a camera e.g. pin hole cameras, old style cameras and Polaroid (Fig 1+2) which can produce unusual looking images.

The traditional methods have, I feel, already started to make their come back because today there are many pieces of design that have starting to use traditional methods of rendering type. .....

Comparison/Contrast Paper Women In Television

Using terms that are used daily and socially, adds to a pleasant feeling of comfort while reading the article. The format of this article is what makes it so easy to read and so enjoyable. Although the article was organized informally, it flowed rather well and continued to be clear and concise all the way through. The second paragraph, (if you can call it that,) was “I can bring home the bacon” A line such as that really jumps out at the reader and causes the reader to be encouraged to read more. Anot .....

Kundun: An Analysis
.... says, "Wisdom and compassion will set us free." As shown through the quotations, Kundun portrays the image of the Tibetan people as religious, peaceful, loving, and compassionate. However, the film delineates the Chinese as cruel, uncompassionate oppressors. For example, Chairman Mao is depicted as a rude and heartless man when he meets with the Dalai Lama just prior to the Dalai Lama's return to Lhasa. Chairman Mao says, "Religion is poison. Like a poison it weakens the race. Like a drug it retards the mind of people and society- the opiate of the people. Tibet has been poisoned by religion and your people are poisoned and .....

Heroism In The Perfect Storm
.... undergone extensive training in their fields to prepare for such situations as the perfect storm presented them. The PJ’s had undergone a highly selective process that many Navy SEALS could not complete. And the pilots of the helicopters and jets showed tremendous skill as they navigated through the rough turbulence of the storm. These men were, indeed, the best of the best.
To be the best at what one does does not necessarily create a hero for the times. Peak physical shape and sharpness of mind were essential qualities for these heroes in the story. However, there was a little more to their character than what met .....
