...Analysis of Dance Styles ARTS/100 Professor Analysis of Dance Styles For centuries peoples have been dancing as an art form that allows them to physically express themselves without using words. These are times when simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words (Humphrey, 1937). A great deal can be understood when a person watches a person dances. The message that is related is strong and clear. When you understand the types of dance the message is clear. I will attempt to examine the different forms of dance. We will look at the forms of dance like Ballet, Modern World/Ritual, Folk, and jazz. Never the less it helps construct a better understanding of the different forms. Ballet During the 15th century in Italy ballet was known as court dancing. The word “Ballet” comes from the Italian form of Ballare which means dance. The first dance was in France in 1581. The French created the first ballet called “La Ballet Domique de La Reine” This caught on fast which prompted Louise Xiv to start the Royal Academy of Dance in 1661. Ballet caught on quick and spread from country to country when the story line and rhythm is expressed it uses eight basic positions to do this. Swiveling on their toes and balancing is critical to perform these dances. Over the ages these have been two great Ballets that are performed across the country and they are in high demand. They are the “Nutcracker and Swan Lake”. Modern Dance The 20th century...

...Stanza A stanza is a group within a poem, which may have two or many lines. They are like paragraphs. Some poems are made of REALLY short stanzas, called couplets--two lines that rhyme, one after the other, usually equal in length. Sound One of the most important things poems do is play with sound. That doesn't just mean rhyme. It means many other things. The earliest poems were memorized and recited, not written down, so sound is very important in poetry. Rhyme - Rhyme means sounds agree. "Rhyme" usually means end rhymes (words at the end of a line). They give balance and please the ear. Sometimes rhymes are exact. Other times they are just similar. Both are okay. You mark rhyme in a poem with the letters of the alphabet. For instance, in this stanza: Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. the rhyme scheme is aaba (because "know," "though," and "snow" rhyme, they are marked "a," while "here" is another rhyme, and is marked "b") Repetition - Repetition occurs when a word or phrase used more than once. Repetition can create a pattern Refrain - Lines repeated in the same way, that repeat regularly in the poem. Alliteration - Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound in different words. Onomatopoeia - Onomatopoeia means words or phrases that sound like the things they are describing. (hiss, zoom, bow-wow, etc.) Consonance - Consonance happens when consonants...

...METAPHOR POEM I am #1 Directions: Write a short poem of at least 6 lines entitled, “I am #1.” Make it look like a poem but do not rhyme it – remember form is meaning. You will be creating a picture in words of yourself (imagery & metaphor). 1. What color are you? 2. What beverage represents you? 3. How do you act in a crowd? 4. What contrast describes you? 5. What chair represents you? 6. What time of day best describes you? 7. What musical instrument best describes you? EXAMPLE: I am a blue bubbling e f f e r v e s c e n t soda-pop. I stand out in the midst of people sparkling brilliantly. A bear grrrowling in the morning mirror… but a cuddly cub purrrring by evening is me. The stars twinkle and shine for me as I gently rock back and forth, back and forth on the front porch swing. My hearts beats like a drum in my chest – THRUMP, THRUMP, THRUMP, keeping time to my own beat. TWO-TONE POEM What color are you? A crazy question, perhaps. Most of us are at least two-tones. Psychologists tell us that certain colors trigger certain feelings or moods in many people. Some colors are “warm” while others are “cool.” Some colors attract attention; others blend in with their surroundings. Our own interpretation of our feelings about colors, a long with our self knowledge can be a good combination to start a “two-tone” poem. EXAMPLE: My Two Colors Part of me is brilliant yellow Lively and vivacious, Bouncy...

...Emily Kraft, RN “Silver Linings Playbook” Review: Family Dynamics Trocaire College Everybody has a little bit of crazy in them right? The film Silver Linings Playbook is the perfect example of this statement. The movie was released in 2012 and was based on the novel The Silver Linings Playbook. The film was a blockbuster in the theaters along with winning countless Academy Awards and Golden Globe nominations. The Solitano family had many issues that were portrayed over time such as marriage problems, gambling, losing jobs, lying, mental problems, relationship problems; you name it and they had it. If it weren't for everyday common struggles among the average American family, people wouldn't know how to fight for their families or cope with the choices and consequences. I believe that these circumstances make us better and much stronger people, and we therefore, end up with stronger relationships within our family and friendships. Out of the list of films provided to choose from, I chose Silver Linings Playbook because I had heard many great things from fellow coworkers and friends. I'm surprised I hadn't watched it any sooner than I did. The film really showed me every individual within an average family lives day to day with internal struggles that are hard to overcome without the help of a support network. The main character, Pat Solitano Jr., who is played by Bradley Cooper, is a man with bipolar disorder who just left a psychiatric hospital in Maryland to return home...

...for any party, it is loud and requires all the guests to be on the dance floor in order to enjoy. Hence, the scope for memorable conversations with the special someone during those special moments is highly diminished. Also, the sweet little oldies who turn up at the wedding kind of get left out while the DJ jams to Dubstep. A nice live band that plays your favourite tune, yes, of course, Adam Levine songs too ladies, is totally enjoyed by all. Toronto wedding band and their musicians are famous for their melodious, foot-tapping music they provide to enthral the audience at weddings, parties and other social events. While the dance floor option is also available and the souls young at the heart can shake a leg, this proves a pretty good choice for social gatherings like weddings. Of course, you can contrast the two - DJ vs live band, and see what suits your occasion. Wedding music cannot be replaced by any rumbustious DJ, playing some loud electronic music. It is a solemn day, and it requires sophisticated celebration, not jamming to Skrillex. Musicians performing in a live band play various musical instruments and it is more of a live concert you get to witness, all in the backdrop of sophistication, excellence, and grace. It is like a personal event with the orchestra playing out merry tunes exclusively for you. What is better than a live band tuning out yours and your guests’ favourite melodies? Hit the dance floor and let the love, laughter, lyrics, and the music flow. These...

Now, I want to analyze symbol in the poem related with the issue that happens to the real fact or the real situation at that time. Now, I want to analyze a poem titled “The Seven Sorrows” written by Ted Hughes. We can see from the first stanza namely, the word “autumn”, this word symbolizes sadness, probably sadness that is felt by the writer. In that stanza, I found a phrase “a brown poppy head”. This phrase symbolizes something that long drawn out that has not disappointed from its feeling. In the second stanza, “empty feet” the feet there symbolized, step that means useless step. Then in the next line, “the woodland gold”, the word gold symbolizes wealth, prosperity, swanky.

...“Fenway Park” It is the bottom of the eighth inning and the Red Sox are down five runs to one run. David Ortiz steps to the plate and with one swing hits a grand-slam. Fenway Park erupted with cheer. As I looked around at the crowd celebrating, I began to admire Fenway Park. It was chockfull of banners and memorabilia. Fenway Park appeared simple in architectural design, but little did I know how much history existed here. In today's society some of the best things are ones that change little and remain basically the same as they have for decades. Fenway Park is an example of this as the Boston Red Sox have remained committed to staying at this classic ballpark that they have called home since 1912. It is the oldest major league ballpark in use and still retains the same feel and characteristics as it did when it opened on April 20th 1912. Newspaper coverage of the opening was overshadowed by continuing coverage of the Titanic sinking a few days earlier (National Geographic 2010). On March 7, 2012, the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The park is considered to be one of the most well-known sports venues in the world. (BCC 2010). The park's address was originally 24 Jersey Street. In 1977, the section of Jersey Street nearest the park was renamed Yawkey Way in honor of longtime Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey. The park's address is now 4 Yawkey Way. The Red Sox moved to Fenway Park from the old Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds. In 1911, owner...
