The song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” was originally written by Frank Loesser but the version I chose was from Glee sung by Kurt and Blaine. This song represents how a holiday like Christmas is supposed to be spent with a person you love and so in the song the singer is talking to someone special and is asking them to stay for a while longer. The poetic devices they use are out there, I really can’t stay, and baby it’s cold outside. The song has a rhythm to it. The song rhymes a lot. There is a meaning to how the rhythm and rhymes are shown in the song.…

Sister Souljah’s style is like no other that I have read, her style is so real and honest. I can quickly understand about the novel (The coldest winter ever) I do not have to think twice about this novel like I do in the other novel that have different language from mine. As I read this book I feel like I am in the Winter’s world. Sister Souljah grew up in the underclass urban areas in New York and knows how Winter feels. I think Winter is actually a part or side of Sister Souljah. She tells the truth and nothing but the truth.…
Based on a character’s actions alone, many could be seen as evil or immoral. However, characters are not as black and white as they seem. Infact, many complex characters fall in between the lines of inherently untainted or inherently reprobate. In Charles Dicken’s novel, A Tale of Two Cities, Madame Defarge is a character who could, based solely on her actions, be considered evil or immoral. Yet, the full scope of her character leaves the reader feeling more sympathetic.…
The typical cop movie: riding around fighting evil in the cities and overall just portraying a superhero character, because you are a cop. Doesn’t that get boring? Well, in the movie End of Watch directed by David Ayer (producer of Training Day) he comes with a different approach. This isn’t the average cop movie though, it introduces the bond between two men who have been in law enforcement with each other quite a while now. Ayer not only shows the basic fighting crime scenes, but goes in depth of the two men lives, personal and work-related.…
Repetition of key words in the chorus help the listener really focus on the overall message that is being conveyed by the chorus of the song. “And I can’t change, even if I tried, even if I wanted to. My love, my love, my love, she keeps me warm. She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm.” The words being repeated a large amount of times are love and warm. With these words being repeated so many times within the chorus, the person listening to the song starts to pick up on how much the main character in this story really needs and loves their significant other. These words are repeated to express how love giving them everything they need in life like being warm and that if they didn’t have the warmth and love brought into their life they wouldn’t be able to continue…
I listened to the winter concerto second movement of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. From the very beginning I knew this was a largo, a very slow song. There were no signs of his flamboyant style, which Vivaldi often presents in his music and has accustomed to be known for. There were no dramatic or unexpected melodies. As a matter of fact, it is very soothing and calm. I believe this is a very unique piece of Vivaldi’s because of its distinction from his other works. Rather than being something very exciting, incorporating many different sorts of difficult techniques and skills, he made this one far more pleasing to the ear because of its simple and peaceful tones that seem, on the surface, not very complicated. One might even be fooled to think that this largo movement is one that can be simply done with out to many lessons or knowledge about the instruments that are needed. However, once you are able to focus your mind on the individual parts that he put together, on is able to fully appreciate just how much time and effort that he put into his music. This song, which may sound so simple and pure, has a foundation and roots that are far greatly intertwined and unbelievably hard to pull off.…
The dream of creating a greater life for oneself and family through the game of basketball is not restricted to any time or place in American history. As long as there is a court, there lies the opportunity to experience the hoop dream. For the likes of Tchaka, Russell, Corey, and Bill Russell, their paths may have been different, but their struggle for greatness in the ever-shrinking window of the hoop dream is all too familiar.…
Good afternoon teachers and year 12 students, today I will be discussing how a sense of belonging and not belonging is portrayed in Rainbow’s End along with my related text Stolen From Myself. The concept of belonging is conveyed through the representations of personal, cultural, historical and social contexts in both texts.…
This poem has an almost depressing tone to it. It shows this tone when it says all the different things about how the boy is scared for the snowman because he has to stay outside. But also it has a kind of humorous tone in a way. Especially when you analyze the poem and realize the boy is confused about why the snowman can’t come inside. He is in a warm house, with lights and plenty of love. The boy feels comfortable and just wants the snowman to be comfortable…
I do think basketball is a valid option for most students to escape poverty, but without the talent and character of someone like Stephon, getting drafted to the NBA is virtually impossible. Basketball may open a few doors but there’s still no guarantee. There’s a responsibility to knowing yourself and when it’s time to start taking other things such as the degree’s that can be earned because…

One of the first aspects of the movie that you will notice is the musical score. Even in the beginning, there is already show of potential with their opening music. In my opinion, it resembles the opening theme of Lion King, and that has always sent shivers up my spine. The first song is a powerful one, bringing the audience to a sort of captivation with the movie. The next songs are wonderfully written as well. Everything coincides with the specific emotion that the scene is portraying. I would like to give emphasis to the song “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?” for it is a song that marked me. This song shows the relationship between the two sisters and how it has been changed by Elsa’s powers. Here you have a song that begins innocently and with a child-like energy but will leave you crying in the end. It is one of those 3-mminute scenes that would break your heart, and I think that Disney has made this a must in every movie. Another song that has left such an impact to the audience is Idina Menzel’s ‘Let it Go’. Idina showcases her very powerful voice in this song which is appropriate for the song exhibits freedom and independence. Although some may argue that her voice does not suit well the…
Literature is the written word. It may include a poem, play, or novel. The book “The Last Song” written by Nicholas Sparks, originated as a novel before proceeding to then is translated onto the big screen as a movie. The film was directed by Julie Ann Robinson. Books are written to tell a story through literary devices and descriptions. When translated into movies, the outcome is not always as well thought out as the original novel. The movie may, for example, provide better flashbacks than the novel while the novel may provide a better sense of irony than the movie. This is all dependent on how the director decides to provide the same sense to the audience through taking the literary devices from the novel and turning them into visuals.…
