The two pieces I have observed are Sad Case by Lightfoot and Leon and D-Man in the Water by Bill T. Jones. These two pieces are quite different but in a way they feel as if they could play off each other. Which is why I will be discussing the difference in the costuming, movement, and musical scores. These three components were the first things that I saw as I was watching the videos.
Her speech involved a plethora of rhetorical devices to encourage a positive reaction from the troops. The top three rhetorical devices she used the most to evoke pathos were juxtaposition, anaphora, and enumeration. Throughout her speech there are several phrases used effectively to strike emotion. Juxtaposition was used many times throughout the Queen’s speech. She talks to her troops with rousing dialect
"I enlisted a little vagabond jazz quartet to play some of our main tunes." Carmack says Slaver was totally shocked when he popped the inquiry. Fortunately, the performing artist guaranteed his significant other to-be was camera-prepared for the pivotal turning
She makes many points in her speech and gives great examples to her claim. Her claim that President Nixon must be impeachment for the water gates scandal and abusing the power of the C.I.A. she sat in front of the committee with confidence that her speech will help impeach Nixon. I believe she achieved her purpose to pursue the audience and the judiciary committee of the impeachment of Nixon. You can see Barbara Jordan get more passionate as the speech goes on. I noticed that she would become the most passionate when speaking on the actions of Nixon.
The stage lighting is subtle and just enough to spotlight the dancer who stands tall with her arms extended to the sky and hands clasped together. A long, white sheet-like scarf drapes the dancer’s hands. As the music begins the solo dancer starts to sway then slowly she starts walking back and forth across the stage only ever taking one or two steps in each direction. With each step crossing one foot in front of the other. Her arms are still outstretched but now they are open; the audience can see the dancer’s face.
Highlighted in the show “Deep Harlem”, Jordan included scenes that ranged from “ancient Abyssinia to the deserts and jungles of Africa to the slave ship… and Harlem” (“From Barrelhouse to Broadway”). Correspondingly, Jordan also took part in composing music for the play “Red Moon” which “sought to break these trends by casting black performers in realistic, meaningful roles as opposed to the farcical and outright demeaning roles they were used to playing at the time” (“The Red Moon: Joe Jordan & the Arrival of the Jazz Band”). Prior, there were very few shows where African Americans would be accepted to play the role of the opposite race. Defying these societal standards brought an array of attention to Jordan’s work and encouraged progression against segregation. Furthermore, Jordan was the first African American to serve in Washington state general’s office, occurring later on in his musical career (Edwards).
Camera angles and narration helped contribute to the realness and sense of reality of the film. The narrator basically let the people he interviewed tell the story of Lonnie Franklin and would explain the interviewed people's relations to Lonnie, the women killed, or summarize what they said in the interview after. This was a very real film, unfiltered, based in the “hood”, honest opinions and stories about situations with Lonnie and blunt about the things that went on with Lonnie and in the neighborhood, and emotional because the people that were interviewed about him didn’t hide what they felt and that really helped with our understanding of what happened and the extremity of what had taken place and that’s what I feel was the real strength of the film. The personalities of those interviewed and the emotions they showed when explaining their experiences in regard to Lonnie is something you can’t read about and understand, seeing their faces and their emotions is something real and self explanatory. The film was effective in communicating what I feel was its message but, in my opinion, it could’ve been better organized regarding the
Issac, "Skeletons in the Closet", by Clara Spotted Elk, is an effective essay due to Elk's usage of emotionally packed words and phrases.

Every year Austin Peay State University decides to produce two musicals and two straight plays for their theatre season. This year one of the musicals selected was Anything Goes by Cole Porter. Anything Goes concentrates on the story of Hope Harcourt and her family trying to sail from New York to England. With the production being a musical a lot more work was put towards additional skills like voice techniques and choreography, rather than in a straight play where the task is to just memorize your lines and create a connection with your character. The overall performance is based on how well the extra work such as, voice techniques and choreography complement the acting and set pieces.
Samuel Washburn Prof. Russell EN 231 2 October 2014 The Poetic Argument Between Dr. Johnathan Swift and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu Dr. Swift’s, The Lady’s Dressing Room, is an 18th century satirical poem that addresses British social issues via the lens of feminine beauty, and how that beauty is a form of artifice. The poem uses beauty as a sort of philosophical metaphor for the main character, Strephon, to confront the realistic underbelly of feminine beauty/hygiene, which is portrayed as lurid and shocking, for the purpose of personal and social vanity. The poem was labeled misogynistic at the time of its writing, and continues to be viewed as such.
Dress Code When it comes to the topic of dress code there are many controversial factors that come to mind such as While some argue that dress code is necessary in order to properly teach students to dress appropriately, others contend that dress code infringes on students individuality and creativity. This is not to say that there are some people whose feelings land in the gray area in between. In recent discussion of dress code, a common question has been whether dress code is fair or not fair among all students. On the one hand we have parents, young women, and other members of society who argue that some schools take dress code too far.
Introduction This essay examines the Cassavetes’s unique approach in his films he directed especially in Faces (1968) and Shadow (1959) in creating alternative forms of performative expression. Cassavetes’s approach focus on spontaneous, unstructured performance of characters, contradict to Stanislavski 's system that focus on emotion memory or actor’s past experience to bring out the expression on stage. In this essay, Cassavetes’s first film, Shadow, will be compared to his fourth film, Faces, to see development in Cassavetes’s approach in performance of character. Shadow is a film about interracial relations between African-American and white Americans in 1950’s New York, starring Ben Carruthers as Ben, Lelia Goldoni as Lelia and Hugh Hurd as Hugh, the only dark-skinned among three siblings.
Standing Female Nude, written by Carol Ann Duffy, is a poem which describes the condition of a prostitute who is struggling to make a living. Duffy, as with a majority of her other works, attempts to give a voice to voiceless women in the middle and lower economic classes in an effort to promote her feminist agenda. This poem is in fact very layered and explores multiple aspects which may not be spotted on a superficial level, and enables her to transmit her ideas to the readers. Duffy puts across her main ideas of society’s treatment of the prostitute versus the treatment of males, and the prostitutes introspective views. Duffy creates a society, not too distorted from our own in fact, which objectifies the woman and values her purely for her physical assets.
