In the 19th century‚ after a long period of isolationism‚ China and then Japan came under pressure from the West to open to foreign trade and relations. The Industrial Revolution in Europe and the United States had created a wide gap between them and the West‚ leaving the two Asian nations behind technologically and military. In that period‚ neither of them had the power to stand up to the Western nations‚ and eventually both had to sign unequal treaties that forced them to open their ports and cities

The American Musical has often been used as a medium in which uncomfortable issues were boldly addressed. This has been the case for the issue of race and ethnicity in America‚ in particular the following musicals: Show Boat‚ Memphis‚ and West Side Story. The first two musicals addressed the issue of the integration of African Americans into American culture‚ with Show Boat‚ set in the early 1900s‚ focusing on the difficulty of true racial blending in America‚ and with Memphis‚ set in the 1950s

humanities report‚ I attended the Wind Ensemble concert at the Timko Barton lobby on October 8‚ 2015. The concert was so inspiring and refreshing for me since I love music and am currently studying music. Sitting with some many people and listening to beautiful music from a variety of genres was so restoring to the soul. Dr. John Jenkins‚ the director‚ was so motivating in every piece of music and of the program. The concert program ran smoothly as the ensemble band transitioned gradually to each different

It is about two teens that fall in love and see each other without their families knowing‚ because their families have a feud against each other. I will be discussing the differences and similarities between‚ Romeo and Tony‚ Juliet and Maria and finally‚ the families and the Gangs‚ which are in the movies‚ Romeo & Juliet’ and West Side Story’.

Percussion Ensemble The first concert I went to was the Percussion Ensemble in the Weber Music Hall. I had never been in the Weber Music hall before so I was also amazed with the set up of the concert hall. The wood finish and design of the hall was beautiful and interesting all at the same time. The music hall wasn’t as large as it looks from the outside‚ the stage was very close to the seats‚ and the depth of the hall wasn’t near what I thought it would be. The concert was a short‚ but fun concert

the Great Depression is completely the opposite of its reality‚ which is of a Native American woman surviving life in times of the American settlement. Because people become accustomed with their single view point‚ they fail to see the other side of the story and reveal what is behind the curtain.

20 September 2012 Crooks’s Side of the Story His crooked back aches as he lies down on his tiny bed. Crooks takes one look out the the little window and hears cries of joy and laughter as the evening games commence. In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men Crooks comes off as a mean old man‚ bus considering his conditions‚ it is not surprising. Crooks is forced to sleep in a tiny room that smells of fresh manure. He lies on a narrow‚ straw filled bed. This man is forced to sleep in the barn because

so happened and they too were not a phenomenon in Malaysia. Therefore‚ coming to see the performance‚ I could not feel a special connection as how many in the audience felt‚ but‚ what I did find was the feeling of reminiscing.

Having no reference to previous or future albums‚ this album had a blend of colorful‚ eccentric‚ and warm tune to it. Though‚ according to one of the guitarist during the recording
