...Album Analysis [Basic information] Album title: “Sweeter” Artist: Gavin DeGraw Composer and lyricists: Gavin DeGraw, Ryan Tedder, and Andrew Frampton Collaborating musicians: Art designer: Unknown Producer(s): Ron Aniello, Jerrod Bettis, Ryan Tedder, Andrew Frampton, Eric Rosse, Butch Walker, and Noel Zancanella. Audio mixer: Serban Ghenea Photographer: Patrick Frasier Studio(s): 2011; The Blackbird Studio in Nashville and the Hensen Recording Studios in Hollywood Released -> September 20, 2011 Record Label -> RCA records (http://www.rcarecords.com/artists) Retail price: CD €12,99 ITunes: €9,99 [Genre] The genre(s) of this album are Blue-eyed soul, pop rock, and rock. Blue-eyed soul -> R&B / Soul performed by white artists, this music has a really nice vibe. Pop rock -> Mix of a catchy pop style and guitar-based rock. [Target group] In my opinion, there is not one specific target group for this album, just like the other three albums of DeGraw. He has a voice that is attractive for a lot of people. Teenage girls and boys, 20-30 year olds, and even 50 year olds like his voice and music. His album is a mix of blue-eyed soul and pop rock, I think that that’s also a reason why it is attractive to more than one target group. His tour concert in Amsterdam was totally sold out, so that means that a lot of people are interested and a fan of his music. [Period] The album is released on September 20, 2011. In my opinion, the album is timeless, but that is because...

...a mentor. As we know how the impressionists are famous for their illustration of city streets and country leisure, Pissarro's paintings are covered with pictures of the day-to-day life of the French peasants. Another name for Pissarro was, "Father of Impressionism". If we observe Camille Pissarro's "The Goose Girl at Montfoucault, White Frost", 1875, we see a very simple rural scene of a young girl, who's leading her flock of geese into a small clearing overlooked by a massive tree. With the use of a frosty color palette and oil paint on canvas for this painting. The main focal point of the painting, the goose girl, is overtaken by the landscape portion. Through this we also learn how impressionist painter's main focus is on the scenery and the landscape, paying less attention to the emotional and sentimental aspect of the painting. As we can see there are no details on the goose girl's face to determine the emotion of the painting. The importance of this painting is very simple and easy, it's meant to be enjoyed and doesn't really have a message or a meaning behind it. Every subject in this painting, whether it's alive or not, is depicted exactly the way it is, the girl as the...

...Justin “Film 1401 2013-4” Sequence Analysis Tutorial 13 A) Explain the plot structure and the story duration of the film. To explain the plot structure, we need to break down the five main components of the plot. Breaking down the five main components of the plot structure will allow us to get a better understanding of our film. The five components are: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and the resolution/denouement. I will be using the plot structure that incorporates all five of these components into three acts: 1. Setup, 2. Conflict and Obstacles, and 3. Resolution. Set up Act 1: The protagonist in the film is the little boy/teenager/man. We can look at him as our Luke Skywalker, and the older man (the Master Buddha) can be our Yoda. As seasons pass, the boy turns into a teenager. The master allows the boy to learn many life lessons on his journey to adulthood. A woman and her daughter who happens to be the same age as the boy enter the story line. At this point, we can establish that these three people will be our main characters. A floating temple on a beautiful lake is our setting. The boy, who has never been around a woman, falls in love with the girl immedialy. The film becomes enticing when the boy has a sexual awaking with the girl, and they get caught in the act. After being caught, the master then decides the girl is finally healed and her spirits are high. The boy decides to run to the outside world with...

...Analysis of Guts by Charles Bukowski Setting The setting of Guts is very depressing, Bukowski makes the setting sound very dull and sometimes disgusting, here I am referring to page 2 line 8: “I reached into a paper sack full of vomit and empties”. This helps to give a picture of Hanks living situation. The setting works as a mirror to the protagonist (Hank Chinaski), because Hank mentions that he is an antihero, and doesn’t like the “clean-shaven boy”, it would therefore make sense that the setting which is grey and often disgusting is a way to emphasize Hank Chinaski as a character. He often mentions that the setting isn’t very good, an example of this could be at page 2, line 12: “What was she doing running a place like that”, here Hank is talking about the tenant, who is a beautiful young girl, he clearly thinks that she could do better than the place she is running now (the place Hank lives). Character Hank Chinaski Hank is the protagonist of the story, he is “not a very nice man” (page 1, line 1), doesn’t like “laws, morals, religions and rules.” (page 1, line 9) and also doesn’t like “to be shaped by society” (page 1, line 9-10). Hank also shows signs of anarchism, in the beginning he says that he doesn’t like to be shaped by society. This sounds a lot like the thoughts of an anarchist, Hank just have another way of showing his anarchism, instead of throwing rocks at the police, he’s just sitting at home, getting drunk not caring about society’s norms and thoughts...

...Analysis of "Tell the women that we are going" The narrator in "tell the women that we are going" is a third person omniscient narrator with Bills point of view½. I can sees that it is a third person narrator form Bills point of view on page 222 line 28" Bill was thinking how Jerry was getting to be deep, the way he stared all the time and hardly did any talking at all." Here I get a clear example of that the point of view is from Bills perspective. That will say that we know all about what Bill is thinking, felling, his background, see and do. All of this is shown in the shot story, a example is on page 221 first line to line 6 same page, another example is on page 226 line 36 and the following two sentences. Where I get to know what Bill are thinking about the two girls. The narrator do not describe the persons outer in detailed, but the physical environment is describe in more detail, for an example on page 225 line 34 where a mountain is describe, " a hundred yards off the road was a high, sloping, black mound of rock, part of a low range of hills, honeycombed with footpaths and small caves, Indian sign-painting here and there on the cave walls.". The third person narrator do not present Bill thoughts directly, but throw what Jerry is telling and what the person is telling as a narrator. Beside the indirect thoughts I also hear some of the dialogues between Jerry and Bill. In the short story there is two main character, there is Bill and Jerry. Bill is the point of...

...ENGL 103.G35 Cultural Analysis Cover Girl has always been a popular make-up company, and since they sell make-up, their main target is undoubtedly woman. In the new Cover Girl Nature Luxe commercial, they target women, especially in their teens, in multiple ways. They use a celebrity that is popular for that age group; she is wearing glamorous, sparkly dresses, she’s dancing nonstop and having fun, and they try to make the audience “join the movement.” Figure 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMt6TFO0zn4 Figure 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMt6TFO0zn4 The advertisement starts out right away with the popular music artist Taylor Swift as the only person in the entire commercial. The company makes a big emphasis on this and even puts her name in the commercial underneath the company name, seen in Figure 1, as if to highlight the fact that she’s in the commercial and wearing their product, even though it’s very clear who it is to the majority of the population. Cover Girl chose Taylor Swift to be the star of their commercial for a few reasons. They are targeting teenage girls, and Taylor is in that age range herself. She’s also extremely successful in her career and is an attractive young woman that a lot of girls wish they could look like or just be. By using Taylor Swift when she has all these qualities, it sends out a message to the watchers that if you use their product, you’ll be able to be like Taylor Swift.

...Music in Different Cultures Popular Music and Contemporary U.S. Culture Popular Music in its Many Facets In its broadest sense, popular music is an umbrella term referring to a vast range of commercially mass-marketed musical genres contrasting with classical or art music and intended for mass consumption (e.g., rock, rock and roll, hip-hop, grunge, heavy metal, rhythm and blues, punk, soul, techno, funk, rap, house). This wide-ranging term encompasses a plethora of musical styles involving various rhythms, vocal styles, instruments, and technologies. Characteristically, popular music is a global cultural phenomenon and an accessible form of commercial music aimed at a worldwide audience. Traditionally, British and American forms of popular music have tended to dominate the industry. Corresponding to social, economic, and technological change, popular music is intimately linked to the identity of musicians, performers, or artists, as well as audiences and fans. Popular music is ubiquitous; from shopping malls and advertising to gymnasiums/fitness classes and political campaigns, popular music is a common feature of people's everyday lives and a significant aspect of consumer culture. For fans and enthusiasts, popular music can be a leisure-time pursuit occurring on evenings or weekends; alternatively, it can constitute a lifestyle, or way of life (e.g., Deadheads—a group of fans of the American band Grateful Dead who saw the band at...

For example, when defining different forms of music; music is put into categories in which we use the term genre. Different music is put into these genres depending on the different rhythms used in it.

...don’t know Hochelaga-Maisonneuve at all. If it weren’t for my friend, I’d be lost. Second, my knowledge about wrestling is limited to zero. This place is taking me completely out of my comfort zone and it’s thrilling. We arrived. I have to admit; I’m really surprised about the whole architecture and atmosphere of the neighbourhood. I start to question myself; maybe I am more of a Outremont, upper-middle-class girl that I like to admit. I was expecting something less appealing, and I’m forced to realize I had stereotypes about Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. We enter the side door of the church that leads to the basement. A small, fat man welcomes us. On his black shirt, “SECURITY” is written. Behind him, there’s a gigantic, nearly empty dark basement. The only thing in this huge space is in the very middle, and it’s a wrestling ring. The ring is lit by the only four lights of the basement, one over each corner of the ring. Around the ring, a few metal chair for the public. We sit. Right from the beginning, the men that were fighting captivate my eyes. As I’ve been told by the girl next to me, there is always a bad guy and a nice one. In this fight, the bad guy is called Eric Denis, as I’ve seen in the Facebook’s page of the event. Eric Denis is a tall, slim man with a long beard and very short hair. He is bare-chested and is wearing red pants with yellow flames drawn on it. On his chest, with was seems to be written with a sharpie, the word “Killer”. The good guy is called Big Fat Seb...

...Literary Techniques of Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech Literary Techniques of Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech Introduction Martin Luther King, Jr., a prominent civil rights leader, delivered a powerful speech at the historic March on Washington. The speech uses several literary techniques to engage the listener. In the speech, King especially likes to use repetition and metaphor to convey his ideas. These devices are the foundation of King?s unique and effective style. Repetition In I Have a Dream King uses repetition throughout. Repetition is a good tool to use to reinforce an important idea. In Dorothy Seyler?s Read, Reason, Write, she states: ?Some repetition of key words and phrases will occur in well-written and unified essays. Some writers, though, go beyond this technique of unified writing and use repetition to produce an effective cadence, like a drum beating in the background, keeping time with the speaker?s fist pounding the lectern for emphasis.? (58). King?s speech is a perfect representation of this. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons...

...Value: 5.9 (B+) Feminist Analysis Of Lorca’s “Blood Wedding” REHANA KOUSAR NIDA SARFRAZ Department of English Government College University, Faisalabad Pakistan Abstract: This study explores Feminism in Lorca’s play, ‘Blood Wedding’. Feminism asserts that women are treated as ‘sex objects’, non-significant other and witches. This study analyzes Blood Wedding at four levels; 1. Biological level 2. Linguistic level 3. Socio-cultural level 4. Psychoanalytical level coined by Elaine Showalter. Lorca deals with women in his drama as submissive. He praises their beauty but neither gives women names nor any choice of free will. Women are nameless and without any status. His society also promotes the concepts of submissive women and rejects bossy women. Images which are used for women, women language, their psyche and Spanish Society in Blood Wedding Proves that it is a Feminist play. Key words: “Blood Wedding”, feminism, F. G. Lorca, submissive women Introduction: Feminism asserts that men either consciously or unconsciously have oppressed women, allowing them a little or no voice in the political, social and economic issues of their society. By not giving voice and value to women’s opinion, responses and writings, men have suppressed the female, defined what it means to be feminine and thereby devoiced, devalued and trivialized what it means to be a woman. In fact men have 4404 Rehana Kousar, Nida Sarfraz- Feminist Analysis Of Lorca’s “Blood Wedding” ...

...As You Like It Summary How It All Goes Down Sir Rowland de Boys has recently died, leaving behind sons Oliver and Orlando. Since Oliver's the eldest son, he's inherited just about everything. This includes the responsibility of making sure his little bro finishes school and continues to live the kind of lifestyle he's become accustomed to as the son of a nobleman. (By the way, this lifestyle looks like a sixteenth-century version of MTV's Teen Cribs.) Oliver, however, treats his little bro like a servant – he refuses to pay for Orlando's education and never gives the kid any spending money. Also, he tells the local court wrestler it would be a good idea to snap Orlando's neck, but Orlando doesn't know about this. Naturally, Orlando is ticked off that Oliver treats him so badly and he's ready to "mutiny" against his older bro. Instead, he channels all of his pent up anger into a wrestling match, where he beats the court wrestler to a bloody pulp. Orlando's wrestling skillz catch the eye of a local girl named Rosalind, who has her own family drama to worry about. (Ros is the daughter of Duke Senior, who used to rule over the French court but was overthrown by his snaky, backstabbing brother, Duke Frederick. Because Rosalind's dad is living in exile in the Forest of Arden, Rosalind has been crashing at the palace with her BFF/cousin, Celia. Did we mention that Celia is the daughter of snaky, backstabbing Duke Frederick? And you thought your family had issues…) Rosalind...

...The 1960s was a decade filled with change. It started out with optimism among America’s youth that was unprecedented in history. Before too long headlines of civil rights, university reform, pacifist movement against the Vietnam War, women’s rights, and sexual liberation were made and the “Camelot” vision was quickly shattered. America’s youth began to revolt against the establishment and the foregone conclusion that they would adopt the lifestyle of their parents. In ten short years societal norms were turned completely around. Never before had change happened so quickly or been driven by the same group. This rapid change is breathtaking, considering most young people are generally naïve and disinterested in events outside their immediate scope. I have therefore decided to investigate what role the media played in the youth revolutions of the 1960s. This paper will identify media’s influence in driving change and analyze relationships between media, specific historical events, and the reaction of America’s youth. This will be achieved by looking at both primary and secondary sources to determine how much influence the media played in manipulating America’s youth via songs, marketing, and select writings. The media industry’s reaction to the social and technological upheavals of the twentieth century was to encapsulate the mantra “youth as fun” and sell it to America’s teens. . It was the social exposure that the media promoted that resulted in the heightening...
