    Kurt Jooss The Green Table And Alvin Ailey's The Revelations

    Kurt Jooss’ “The Green Table” and Alvin Ailey’s “The Revelations” are both over half a century old and still remains to this day one of the most timeless masterpieces of dance in history. Their elaborate combinational display of music, dance, and rhythm was able to tell us a story without the use of any words. This collaborative combination was able to create a powerful and insightful perspective on what they were trying to articulate. The revelations captured the pain, determination, and valour of the African Americans at the time. Ailey used a very religious, divine, and prayerful mood and point of view throughout the whole dance. While The Green Table aimed at showing people how futile war is and how it affects people and society. Jooss used the satirical and cynical perspective, as well as the method of expressionism.…

    Pat Conroy's 'Passage: The Water Is Wide'

He also understood that the children learn more from their parents than him. He learned that he is a influence on their lives and teaching life lessons is an important part of the job as a teacher.…

    David Foster Wallace's This Is Water

    David Foster Wallace’s “This is Water” is a commencement speech to a group of graduating college seniors, telling them the harsh truth about life as an adult American. He utilizes this piece to ponder the problem of how and why we as humans view the world in the way we do, regarding our specific viewpoints and respective realities. He thinks upon this problem by analyzing the human psyche’s “default-setting” of being self-absorbed, and how by “learning how to think”, this cycle can be broken, using a commonplace example of a long day of work followed by a trip to the grocery store to showcase how all of us focus upon ourselves and our own intentions (3, 2). He ends up concluding that to live a common American life is “unimaginably hard”, and how we perceive this life and the world around us is what will grant us “awareness of what is real and essential” as we live it (8).…

The text also not only discusses an outsider’s perspective of not belonging, but also the negative aspects of belonging to a group or community.…

    Revelations-Alvin Ailey

    Lighting – in ‘I been buked’ the stage is dark and there is only a yellow spot light on all the dancers who are in centre stage. This Symbolises the pain and the mood of the dancers. The lighting in Pilgrim Of Sorrow is much darker than In Move, Members, Move. This could be because there is a lot more hope in the third section. At the beginning of the dance there is little hope and pain is shown. In the second section the lighting is a blue wash across the stage and it is brighter than before. This section is representing a baptism and the blue could represent water. A yellow spot light appears on the dancers when the dancers are looking up to the sky. May be hope from a God. The third section is much lighter with brighter colours and an orange light on the backdrop maybe signifying the sun. The quality of life seems much better here and there is more hope and trust between dancers. There is a strong theme of religion and faith throughout and the lighting from above may represent a God or Jesus.…

The project idea that I chose for my genre was the topic of the sensitive issue of death and how it is treated and written in literature. To discuss the issue about death and dying the paper will include books that focus on the following subjects. The first being what the understanding or impression of the child be after reading or having the books read to them. The next being how the stories treat the issue of death and what lessons they could have learned in helping them cope.

The books will be discussed both in individual and collective form so as to provide a true and fair view of the information which are…
