Benny Goodman was not only one of the best jazz musicians of the 1930’s, he is still one of the best musicians of all time. Benny Goodman’s childhood is very different than the typical childhood we think of today. “Goodman was the ninth child of Russian immigrants David and Dora Rezinsky Goodman” (“Benny Goodman” 1). Goodman’s large family inspired him to be the musician and person he grew up to be. With so many siblings, he learned how to stand out and figure out his own talents.

...A Piece of the Action Norman Mailer’s sports article on boxing, The Death of Benny Paret published in 1984, claims that Paret was a powerful young boxer who had his life cut short when he fought for keeping his welterweight title against Emile Griffith. Mailer supports this by explaining how vicious Griffith was throughout the entire fight, ending with Paret’s tragic death. He goes into extreme detail using similes and a large amount of commas to show imagery. Mailer connects with his readers by showing the tragic sorrow of a death happening right in front of their eyes, but also showing that Paret did not die in vain, but in glory. The fight was cast as brutal and vicious, and with every crowd, there comes a story. The certain sportscaster who wrote this attempts to place readers into his seat as if they were there, viewing the fight in all its glory their selves. In doing so, the writer makes sure that his words keep up with the rhythm of the battle, his words having as much impact as the punches thrown. Descriptive words that the writer uses include “clubbing” and “whimpering” accompanied by similes which simply explain the impact that each one of Griffith’s punches had on Paret. Guardado 2 “Griffith was in like a cat ready to rip the life out of a huge boxed rat…right hand whipping like a piston rod which has broken through the crankcase, or like a baseball bat demolishing a pumpkin.” These phrases use extensive use of both diction and imagery to bring the battle to...

...Benny and Joon 1. “Schizophrenia[->0] may have a variety of symptoms. Usually the illness develops slowly over months or even years. At first, the symptoms may not be noticeable. For example, you may feel tense, or have trouble sleeping or concentrating. You can become isolated and withdrawn, and have trouble making or keeping friends. As the illness continues, psychotic[->1] symptoms develop: An appearance or mood that shows no emotion (flat affect)Bizarre motor behavior in which there is less reaction to the environment (catatonic behavior)False beliefs or thoughts that have nothing to do with reality (delusions[->2])Hearing, seeing, or feeling things that are not there (hallucinations[->3])Thoughts "jump" between unrelated topics (disordered thinking)”(Schizophrenia) 2. This movie is very lighthearted and seems to be more of a love story than a movie about disorders. I don’t think it showed a true aspect of schizophrenia, or maybe just a watered down version of it. Joon’s outburst at the end of the movie seemed to be the most realistic version of the disorder. Joon is portrayed as pretty much normal except for her quirky ways and the unusual things she does. She acts like a child and is very unpredictable. 3. No, it seemed very unrealistic, almost watered down. A good story but more about their lives than the true illness. 4. Obsessive Compulsive disorder. Joon has this need to do things over and over. She has a whole bunch of rituals that need to be done or she freaks...

...Benny Andrews was a painter, writer, printmaker, sculptor, book illustrator and teacher. His work, like his background, was complex and multi-faceted. A storyteller at heart and self-described “people’s painter,” Andrews focused on figurative social commentary depicting the struggles, atrocities, and everyday occurrences in the world, but he was not satisfied to use art as a substitute for action. Benny Andrews was born on November 13, 1930, in Plainview, Georgia, a small farming community three miles from Madison. Andrews was one of 10 children in a family of sharecroppers; raised while it was still segregated in the rural south, he grew up desperately poor. His mother, Viola, instilled in her ten children the importance of education, religion, and freedom of expression; his father, George, a self-taught artist, fueled their creativity with his drawings and illustrations. Although the entire family worked in the cotton fields as sharecroppers, Viola Andrews was adamant that her children attend school. Andrews's attendance was sporadic because he went only when he wasn't needed in the fields or when it rained. After several years at Plainview Elementary School, Andrews walked to Madison to attend Burney Street High School, and in 1948 he was the first member of his family to graduate. Andrews enrolled in and studied at Georgia’s Fort Valley State College with a two-year scholarship awarded by the 4-H Club. The only art course offered was a single class in art appreciation...

...Benny, the war in Europe, and Myerson’s Daughter Bella’ Essay: This short story takes us back to ww2, in a Jewish community in Montreal. The author, Mordecai Richler talks about a young boy who went to war in 1941, and got discharged and sent home before the war ended. His name was Benny, a short and skinny man with long narrowed face, pulpy mouth and soft black eyes. His farther Mr Garber wasn’t afraid of sending his son to war nor did his mother Mrs Garber who knew her son would take care and watch out for himself. He was a quite boy who wouldn’t push were he shouldn’t. When he returned home from the war, no one noticed him changed, except for Myerson’s daughter. Bella, a young girl by the age of twenty-six, she was working at Pop’s Cigar & Soda, the owner of the property was The Myerson’s family. Bella could see something has changed about Benny the first time they met after his return from the war. There was something about his hands. Quote; ‘’ He had big conspicuous hands, which he preferred to keep out of sight in his pockets. In fact he seemed to want to keep out of sight all together;’’ Benny’s hands are somewhat a symbol for his illness. Every time it rained it would make him feel more locked or somewhat more emotional, he would either stare at his hands or grip it until the knuckles turned white. The rain must had reminded him of the terrifying war in Europe, or something that took place at a specific place and...

...The Death of Benny Paret The essay “The Death of Benny Paret” by Norman Mailer was well described, the reader feels like they are in the audience watching this devastating scene. Griffith’s “eighteen right hands in a row” was the cause of Benny’s death. The imagery Mailer gives us lets the audience imagine how he is being punched a multiple of times. Mailer also compares Griffin to a baseball bat while Paret was the pumpkin being demolished. The reader can imagine how hard Griffin’s punches were leaving Paret no chance to fight back. One can also think of poor Paret being knocked down by Griffin, the word demolished helps one imply this. In the beginning of the essay, Mailer talks about Paret’s fighting style but also adds in that he had start to take some bad maulings in the last fifteen-rounds he had this tells the reader that Paret might have been a great boxer but also had his flaws. Mailer uses compound-complex sentences to show that the fight between both of them had been taken seriously and both wanted to win. The fight “had its turns” implying that Griffin and Parker did not give up, they were both excellent fighters. However when Mailer says “Paret began to wilt” the reader recognizes that Paret was beginning to lose the fight. Mailer chooses the word “wilt” to show Paret was slowly losing the fight, like a flower slowly dying. Paret got trapped in a corner trying to duck away however he got tangled in the ropes and Griffin was ready to pounce on him. The author describes...

...Benny Nduwayo Peter Beyer Eng Comp 26 February 2015 Mike Webster Concussions have been a big problem since the day the NFL started. People did not know how dangerous football was until the crisis of Mike Webster broke out in the 90s. He played for Pittsburgh, played in the center, and wore number 52. By wearing that number he knew he obviously had to be the toughest player on the field. By playing in the center, there was no glory for Mike Webster. It was play after play while going in head to head with other players. Most guys play for 6 years or so, and then retire but that was not the case for Mike Webster. He played for 17 years in a dangerous game that he loved a lot. After he retired from the NFL, he was a different person than he was before he started playing in the NFL. Pam Webster recalled, “To see his brain declining years later was such a sad thing, because he was incredibly smart, and what I've said the boys have this gift that they see detail that no one else picks up on, and Mike had that gift.” During a football game, sometimes Mike would see someone flexing, moving, and he would then draw them off to the side just by moving his body. He basically knew where everything was on the field. If you were to look for that in his old films when he was playing, you would see mike notice something like that play, and he would turn to Terry Bradshaw and tell him to change the play. Mike was the master of the game for sure. Mike’s ex-wife Pam Webster, said in League of...

...Edgardo Del Rosario MUS 114 Richard Armandi 21 February 2016 Billie Holiday The career of jazz singer, Billie Holiday, was full of intense, life-changing moments. Billie was born on April 7, 1915 in Philadelphia. One of the first major events in her early life was being raped at the age of 11. Billie was always an outspoken person, who often swore. At the age of 14, she joined a brothel. She claimed she was 24, but her lie was soon exposed and was punished. These types of experiences molded her strong exterior and personality, which changed the course of her life. Billie added her own improvisation to her singing. When she sang at restaurants, she would go around to different tables, and sing her own improvised chorus each time. People were very impressed by her improvised singing, and caught the attention of recording artists. He was able to land a part in a Duke Ellington movie as well. In a certain scene, Billie’s character was beaten. They had to record the scene so many times that she was bruised black and blue towards the end. Her life events so far show a contrast between her natural talent as a singer, and the harsh brutalities of being a black female during a time of prejudice. Eventually Billie Holiday would have a masochistic side to her, opting to stay in relationships where she is abused. Her suitors introduced her to various drugs, such as opium and heroin. Needless to say, she would easily become addicted to them. The influence of drugs on Billie’s life...

...Operations Management Case Study - 2 Benny Breweries: Bottle Replenishment THE BOTTLE REPLENISHMENT DECISION Early in 2004, Manish Krishnan, purchasing manager for Benny Breweries, Mangalore, was trying to determine how many bottles to purchase in the coming year. During 2003, the market had leveled off, and 2004 sales predictions were difficult. On the one hand, Krishnan wanted to be sure that sufficient bottles were available to supply 2004 sales levels, yet also wanted to minimize year-end inventories. Covered storage space for empty bottles was tight, and a bottle design change seemed possible in 2005 or 2006. COMPANY BACKGROUND Benny Breweries was located in Mangalore. Over the years, the company had established an excellent reputation. Benny Beer had begun to gain popularity of late, and as a result, a modest market expansion started in 2000. In February 2004, sales reached the highest level in the company’s history. However, in 2003, the sales increase had been well below the trend average (see Exhibits 1 and 2). Four sales peaks occurred during the year: Holi, Christmas, Easter and Onam (refer appended note). Holi was the highest sales period but each peak caused the company to operate on tight schedules and Benny hired more labor and scheduled extra shifts. BREWING PROCESS Beer brewing started with extraction of sugar from malt by an enzymic process. This sugar was then boiled with hops, producing a sterilized and concentrated solution. The resins extracted from the...

...Paret was a Cuban, a proud club fighter who had become welterweight champion because of his unusual ability to take a punch. His style of fighting was to take three punches to the head in order to give back two. At the end of ten rounds, he would still be bouncing, his opponent would have a headache. But in the last two years, over the fifteen-round fights, he had started to take some bad maulings. This fight had its turns. Griffith won most of the early rounds, but Paret knocked Griffith down in the sixth. Griffith had trouble getting up, but made it, came alive and was dominating Paret again before the round was over. Then Paret began to wilt. In the middle of the eighth round, after a clubbing punch had turned his back to Griffith, Paret walked three disgusted steps away, showing his hindquarters. For a champion, he took much too long to turn back around. It was the first hint of weakness Paret had ever shown, and it must have inspired a particular shame, because he fought the rest of the fight as if he were seeking to demonstrate that he could take more punishment than any man alive. In the twelfth, Griffith caught him. Paret got trapped in a corner. Trying to duck away, his left arm and his head became tangled on the wrong side of the top rope. Griffith was in like a cat ready to rip the life out of a huge boxed rat. He hit him eighteen right hands in a row, an act which took perhaps three or four seconds, Griffith making a pent-up whimpering sound all the while he attacked...
