...Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev Sergei Prokofiev was born on April 23, 1891. His parents were Sergei Alekseevich Prokofiev and Maria Grigoryevna Zhitkova. His mother was a very good pianist which is how he started to play and encouraged him to compose later on in life. At the age of three Prokofiev began to learn piano and in two years people could see some potential talent. He wrote his first Opera “The Giant” at nine years old. Lyadov and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was his piano teacher at thirteen years old at St. Petersburg Conservatory. Prokofiev composed and wrote many different pieces. Like Peter and the Wolf, The Love of the Three Oranges, Third Piano Concerto, War and Peace, ballets of Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella, and many...

...company that performed several different ballets throughout the year. At Christmas time their key performance was, and in my opinion is still, the best rendition of Tchaikovsky’s’ “The Nutcracker” I have even been so gracious to experience. Another one of my earliest memories of music was in second grade where I was asked in music class to sit and listen to an orchestra performance of “Peter and the Wolf” by composer Sergei Prokofiev. I remember the first time sitting there, eyes closed, allowing my imagination to listen as each instrument took on a different character. I remember how each of those characters almost seemed to talk. I could see the chase and felt the emotions of being scared, wanting to run away, fight even the sadness I felt when I thought the wolf had caught and eaten Peter. It has been over 20 years since I last heard “Peter and the Wolf”. I can still remember the vivid sounds of the timpani drums from the hunters’ gun, the playful flute of the Bird and the humorous oboe for Duck. Listening to the “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” I am reminded of my childhood “Peter and the Wolf” as each of the instrumental sections awakens the playfulness in their instruments ability. For example Track 11 of the woodwinds where the flutes and piccolos come in light soprano tones; I am instantly swept away to imaginary forest, where the sun is shining brightly against a mid-summer sky, shade from the tall oak trees offer coverage and solitude from the suns’ rays waiting to...

...Prof Triff AH May 7, 2015 Wolf and Fox Hunt The aspect of painted works of art, which makes them such immensely significant historical artifacts, is their tendency to reflect the social, cultural and political values of their particular artist as well as the time period and region in which they originate. The Baroque era of 17th century Europe was certainly no exception to this trend and, over a relatively short period, an entire generation of talented painters would rise to fame across the continent, names which are still as recognizable today as they were hundreds of years ago, such as Caravaggio, Titian and Veronese. While their paintings are the only thing left behind from the legacies of these great figures, they say a great deal about the artist themselves and what factors impacted their creative prowess, which is absolutely essential in cultivating modern historians’ understanding of this time period and its norms. In terms of Baroque artists who were influential across Europe both in an artistic, stylistic and political sense, one must look no further than the great Peter Paul Rubens. Rubens was infamous for his highly naturalistic, very movement and color driven works that do an excellent job of highlighting the realistic beauty of a scene while also bringing out a certain veristic appearance in depicted figures, which result in a breathtaking visual display, drawing the viewer’s attention to various points of interest across its composition...

...A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope (from the Greek λυκάνθρωπος lykánthropos: λύκος, lykos, "wolf", and ἄνθρωπος, anthrōpos, "man"), is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction (e.g. via a bite or scratch from another werewolf). Early sources for belief in lycanthropy are Petronius and Gervase of Tilbury. The werewolf is a widespread concept in European folklore, existing in many variants which are related by a common development of a Christian interpretation of underlying European folklore which developed during the medieval period. From the early modern period, werewolf beliefs also spread to the New World with colonialism. Belief in werewolves developed in parallel to the belief in witches, in the course of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Like the witchcraft trials as a whole, the trial of supposed werewolves emerged in what is now Switzerland (especially the Valais and Vaud) in the early 15th century and spread throughout Europe in the 16th, peaking in the 17th and subsiding by the 18th century. The persecution of werewolves and the associated folklore is an integral part of...

...the area.. Parts of the pond still frozen from the recent and random snowstorms. Bipolar weather in Reno is no longer a surprise to me. As we approach the parking area in front of the infamous Idlewild Arch, you will pass by a random 17-foot tall Indian head. “That doesn’t really mesh well with the rest of the park.” Says Brendan staring at the giant structure with his head tilted to the side as if curious to why such a large structure like that is in this distinct location. The Indian head, which is one of seventy total statues also called “Whispering Giants” by Peter Wolf Toth, has a name, and his name is Wa-Pai-Shone. A tribute to the Washoe, Paiute, and Shoshone tribes of Northern Nevada. Peter realized his life’s mission was to make these massive sculptures. They are his “tributes to the indigenous people of North America” (Schumaker, David. Peter Wolf Toth. 2015. Dcschumaker.com. 19 February 2018). Peter has carved at least one of these massive statues in every state of the United States since 1984. He has even managed to create a few abroad. One of my greatest memories of this structure was my older brother, 8 years old at the time, climbing all the way to the tip of the feather on Wa-Pai-Shone’s head dress and nearly falling off with me at the bottom almost in tears and my palms starting to sweat profusely, because I am acrophobic. . Adjacent to Idlewild Park is the California Building. Why is there a building in Reno named after California you may wonder...

...The adults had always forbidden us from entering the woods by the old part of town. Some old legend about a wolf or something. Even the mention of it sent them into a frenzy. Peter from across the road went in for a dare once. His whole family moved down South soon afterwards. Rumors say he went mad and got sent to an institute because he kept screaming things about ‘elongated limbs’, ‘deep red eyes’ and ‘sharp, knife-like fangs’. This should have convinced me to stay away from the woods, yet I still found myself already about two miles past the splintered fence that separates the old town from the looming darkness of the trees. My watch read 7:30 PM and I knew I should head back. The sun was beginning its descent for the day and it would soon be pitch black. As I turned to leave a ferocious wind took my hat. I ran after it. When i was finally able to dive onto my hat I realised I didn’t know where I was. There was no longer a path-like opening in the trees. I was in the middle of a circle of trees so tall that not a single ray of sunlight reached the mossy ground where I stood. I was engulfed in darkness. The stillness of the woods that at first mesmerized me, now sent an eerie chill down my spine. But the bone-rattling silence was soon replaced by the moaning of the wind as it hit my frozen cheeks. I saw movement behind me and all my instincts told me not to look, to just accept my fate and close my eyes but I couldn’t. I reluctantly turned my head to stare into the dark, crimson...

...“The nuns, they said, would make us naturalized citizens of human society. We would go to St. Lucy’s to study a better culture. We didn’t know at the time that our parents were sending us away for good. Neither did they” (227). This quotation from St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves foreshadows the detachment of the female wolf children from their werewolf parents. This foreshadowing proves reality for Claudette, a changed child who no longer has the ability to live in the “green purgatory” that she once grew up in (227). In St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, Karen Russell constructs a five stage story to reveal the transformation of the narrator, Claudette, as a successfully integrated individual into human society.

...responsibility and accountability to uphold Standard of care and to contribute to their dissemination, interpretation and development despite medical advances, social and demographic changes and an increasingly complex healthcare delivery system that challenge the ability of nurses to provide safe quality of care. Should nurses fail to uphold certain standards and by doing so cause harm or injury to the client, they would be held liable in the tort of negligence. Description of a practical situation which raised ethical issues: Mr Lim 70 years old has been hospitalised for medical treatment with the diagnosis of chronic heart failure. He was ordered intravenous therapy by Dr Peter the medical resident. Nurse Su questions the order because it is for an infusion of Dextrose 50%. Dr Peter tells her that he checked it with Dr Lee, the medical officer. Nurse Su checks it with Nurse May before administration. Later, Mr Lim has a cardiac arrest and suffers extensive brain damage as a result of the infusion. The hospital inquiry is held and it determined that the correct infusion would be Dextrose 5%. Mr Lim’s family members are very upset and seek legal advice. All names mentioned in the above scenario are pseudonym. Identification of the ethical issues within the situation: Negligence Negligence is the breech of an obligation or duty to act with care, or failure to act as a reasonable or prudent person under certain circumstances. Negligence is established as an unintentional...

...Conclusion 12 9. List of References 13 Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze the medieval influences and aspects in the movie The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. The movie emphasizes important elements of the Middle age. It is about the four Pevensie children, Peter, Suzy, Edmund and Lucy who entered the magic land of Narnia and with the help of Aslan, the Lion, fought the Wicked White Witch Judas. Thus they gave freedom to the other animals and restored peace and harmony in Cair Paravel and Narnia. The film captures brilliantly these moments and transmits them to the public. One of the main focuses of the film was the religious belief ‘Christianity’. The movie responds to the quasi- spiritual Christian beliefs and truths of good versus bad, highlighting the defeat of the Witch and her death. Secondly, it shows how the younger brother Edmund fell in the trap of the White Witch due to his “gluttony” of the Turkish delights and betrayed his brother and sisters. Last but not the least; the movie stresses another important aspect of medieval age “knighthood”. Peter fought with the Witch and the latter’s army, overcoming his fears and was crowned as the King of Narnia, The Magnificent. Introduction The term “Medieval” comes from the Latin meaning “middle age.” The dominant religious, political and cultural force at that time was the Christian church. It laid...

Picture #6 This is a picture of the Beth Sholom Congregation church found in downtown Frederick. It is a Jewish Church. The interesting thing about this church is that it looked more like a regular building rather than a traditional looking church. Picture #7 This is a picture of one of the many windows in front of the Jewish church. It shows various Jewish symbols and items such as dradils.

...On pages 248-258 Peter Singer and Jim Mason discuss the ethics of eating meat. They bring in several different authors to discuss this idea. However, while they bring in the authors’ the clearest conclusion that they make is that, The moral distance between the food choices made by conscientious omnivores and those made by the most of the population is so great that it seems more appropriate to praise the conscientious omnivores for how far they have come, rather than to criticize them for not having gone further. With that said, I believe that they have not taken a clear stand on whether or not it is ethically ok to eat meat. They bring in Pollan’s idea that if you eat meat that has had a good life, then it is ethically ok to eat meat because, if you did not eat meat then the animals would not be alive. However, with that idea they do bring in the idea that the animals that we eat were once wild animals that had become domesticated. They also brought in the point that by domesticating animals we helped them survive. They heled to show this with the...

...Lola Bunny Dr. Michael English 2301.01 10 December 2002 Negotiating Death Now and Later: Humanism, Eternity, and Milton's "Two-Handed Engine" Lines 108-131 of "Lycidas" have been disputed for over three centuries, and the debate over the meaning of Milton's "two-handed engine" is still far from over. 1 I join here the seemingly illimitable number of readers who propose a solution to lines 130-131, and I argue that we need go no further than the poem itself to discover that Milton has in mind the Pilot's keys. My aim will be, first, to foreground the combined Christian and humanistic feature which informs the unity of the work. Then I propose a clear identification of the speaker in the passage. A number of unsatisfactory interpretations begin with a misunderstanding of who the "dread voice" really is, and smoking him out will, I hope, enable us to derive from Milton's other poetry and prose the most likely meaning he would have attached, within the context of the poem, to a "two-handed engine." The Pilot of the Gallilean Lake passage is, after all, a series of lines whose context begs to be situated; it deliberately invites a close reading of its structure. Even so, we shall see that the passage does not at all cloak itself in mystery. The reason for the sudden appearance of the disruptive "dread voice," coming as it does about three-fourths of the way into a pastoral elegy, has occupied critics who struggle to account for the unity of the poem. Cleanth...
