...Nursery Rhymes Analysis There are many reasons why nursery rhymes continue to be a big hit in children’s lives. The fact that nursery rhymes are usually accompanied by a chant or a physical trait (performance) makes it easier for children to internalize the rhymes. The frequency in which children use these nursery rhymes is quite high. Yet, children themselves are oblivious to how often they use them. They use them at school during instructional time, but most important, they use them at play. Nursery rhymes have elements that assist with cognitive, lanugage , physical and social/ emotional developments. Some of these rhymes have significant meaning (historical meaning), some even include a moral lesson. Transition times are often difficult for preschool children and their teachers. These early childhood rhymes and songs help children move from one activity to another. When children become familiar with just a few transitional rhymes they become secure in their knowledge of what comes next. Many nursery rhymes use the classic number three. For example, The Three Little Pigs, portrays this classic number three. This pattern seems to add drama and suspense while making the story easy to remember and follow. The third event often signals a change or ending for the audience/reader. A third time also dismisses coincidence such as two repetitive events would suggest. The number three’s popularity has been considered powerful across history in different cultures and religions. Some...

...D2 I had an interview at Little Owls Pre School Nursery and was called by the manager named as Elaine Kelly. I was called on 26th Jan 2014 at any time between 9am till 3:15pm so I asked my sister and dad to drop me but unfortunately they were not free that day so I asked my brother he said he was available at 1pm so I decided to go at that time because I did not have any fix time by the manager so the day before my interview I texted Elaine as I had her mobile number and asked her that was it possible that she will be free at 1pm to see me and she replied that she is available. After doing my college and house work I read the letter that I got from Jacque and in that there were some restrictions on dressing so I read that and I was not allowed to wear short dresses, jeans and trainers so I decided to wear my simple and decent Asian clothes and then took them out of the cupboard and ironed them after that I took matching shoes and made sure they were clean after that I took out my DBS certificate from my file and put that in my bag and then made sure that my college ID was in bag. Then I put an alarm on my phone in case I might be in deep sleep as I had a day off from college and then done a bit research on the nursery and went to sleep. Firstly according to the navigation system where I reached it was near the nursery but I could not see any board saying the nursery name so then I called Elaine and she told me the right place and then I reached safely there first I rang my brother...

...Nursery Rhymes- The Origin What do I say about nursery rhymes? We have grown up reciting them. They were and are an important part of our childhood. We sung them during class, at home, in front of guests, in the playground and a lot of us sing them even today. Nursery rhymes were like the first form of music that we learnt and to a 3 year old, I bet they are like the Beatles or ABBA or even Taylor Swift! But, recently, I have been wondering whether or rather WHAT these rhymes mean because, to me, they all sound pretty destructive. We sing about children breaking their heads, lying and laughing about it and weird eggs falling off walls (well, nowhere is it written that humpty dumpty was an egg, but that’s another topic all together). Anyway, so I decided to look it up. I decided to find out from where these nursery rhymes originated and what they mean… Oh! And what I read, well, it was shocking. Apparently, most of the rhymes were originated centuries ago and were used as a mode of free speech by many. They would write these rhymes to criticize the political scenes of the time as open criticism would get them killed. Hence obviously they don’t mean happy and joyous things. But, it makes me sad to think that little children sing about such violence. Ill tell you about the meanings of a few commonly sung rhymes across the globe… 1. Jack and Jill- Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after...

...Illustration Essay Violence in Society In today's society, cruelty and violent themes are everywhere. Avoiding something that contains even the smallest bit of these would be almost impossible because of the fact it is so widespread. It is everywhere. Not only is cruelty and violence seen in popular culture such as movies, music, and television but unexpectedly in biblical stories and fairy tales. Even nursery rhymes and lullabies contain images of cruelty and violence. Many believe that prolonged exposure to such harsh themes can cause not only desensitization to violence and cruelty but ultimately duplication. Biblical stories tell of Jesus being staked to a cross. Lullaby’s told of a fictional character falling off a wall and breaking apart. Though perhaps mildly cruel and violent compared to the dramatic portrayals of violence seen in movies and television shows, it still exists. I believe that if properly conveyed, the distinction is minimal among the two. Neither should have an affect significant enough to affect the child or adolescents life if the proper explanation is given. Every religious parent wants their child to have a fully developed grasp of their religious basis and background. Providing this for ones child would be impossible without an explanation of past events that clarify the how and why things are the way they are today. Although they can be harsh and scary to a child, the stories and graphic depictions...

...------------------------------------------------- Nursery rhyme From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia See also: Children's music and Children's song Illustration of "Hey Diddle Diddle", a popular nursery rhyme A nursery rhyme is a traditional poem or song for young children in Britain and many other countries, but usage only dates from the late 18th/early 19th century and in North America the term Mother Goose Rhymes, introduced in the mid-18th century, is still often used.[1] Contents [hide] * 1 History * 1.1 Lullabies * 1.2 Early nursery rhymes * 1.3 19th century * 2 Meanings of nursery rhymes * 3 Nursery rhyme revisionism * 4 Nursery rhymes and education * 5 See also * 6 Notes ------------------------------------------------- History[edit] Lullabies[edit] Main article: Lullaby The oldest children's songs of which we have records are lullabies, intended to help a child sleep. Lullabies can be found in every human culture.[2] The English term lullaby is thought to come from "lu, lu" or "la la" sound made by mothers or nurses to calm children, and "by by" or "bye bye", either another lulling sound, or a term for good night.[3] Until the modern era lullabies were usually only recorded incidentally in written sources. The Roman nurses' lullaby, "Lalla, Lalla, Lalla, aut dormi, aut lacta", is recorded in a scholiumon Persius and may be the oldest to survive.[4] Many medieval English verses associated with the birth of Jesus take...

...Stylistic syntax 1. General considerations The object of stylistic analysis on syntactic level is sentence. Within the domain of syntax stylistics deals with the following crucial problems: 1) the stylistic potential of syntactic units of different structural design, semantic characteristics and communicative types; 2) the syntactic synonymy, i.e. the peculiarities of rendering of one and the same logical content by syntactic units with different structure, functional characteristics, expressive colouring and connotations; 3) description of syntactical expressive means and stylistic devices. Owing to its constructive nature, syntax is considered to have more perceptible stylistic power (when compared with morophological and lexical level) because it embraces the expressive potential of morphology and vocabulary. Syntax is the structural basis of any utterance and text: the process of nomination and metaphorization, logical and figurative, emotional, expressive and poetic colouring of the words, language imagery and symbolism, specific figures of speech, new coinages and at last the individual speaker’s creativity are actualized only on the level of syntax, and, having been melted into a completed unity, can fulfill its communicative purpose. Thus the importance of syntax for stylistic analysis is hard to overestimate. It is syntax that fixes the stylistic aspect of any text. Syntax, alongside with other stylistic elements (phonetic, morphological, lexical) that secure utterance...

...“Each generation must out of relative obscurity discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it” - Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth In cultures all over the world, music can be seen encompassing many aspects of life for many individuals. It is a form of mass communication that speaks directly to society as a cultural form", and often reflects a collection and pattern of personal experiences. Hip-hop or rap, an art form and culture nearly thirty years old originating from The Bronx, New York, has provided a forum for Black and Latino youth to express their respective cultures and speak on a number of issues. Today, Hip-hop is a global phenomenon that appeals to almost all ethnicities and is synthesizing a new culture that goes beyond race, education, and income. Hip-hop has been under continual metamorphosis since its 1970’s inner-city inception. Some of the original artists like Kurtis Blow chose to lament everyday life in the ghettos. Others, Sugar Hill Gang among them, took a more dance inspired approach to the music. But for both these and other artists from the early years of rap through the late 1980’s including KRS-One, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah and LL Cool J, fast beats and socially relevant lyrics were among the primary components of the music. By the 1990’s a new face of rap music emerged. It began with Ice T and later gained popularity with artists such as NWA (Niggaz Wit Attitude) whose first album shocked and titillated the rap world with their...
