a film that has both visible and invisible sounds. The different sounds are used to portray different emotions in the film. In the beginning of the film we see Gogol’s father on a train when all of a sudden we hear the train screech but we do not see the actual action of the train getting into a wreck.

Paul Simon’s "Sounds of Silence" I chose the song "Sounds of Silence" because I admire Paul Simon’s lyrics and I believe this is one of his best songs in terms of its poetic quality. The song is very haunting: its lyrics stir you and leave you feeling as though you’ve heard and witnessed something profound. Though I struggle with trying to understand much of it‚ I enjoy trying it figure it out. An analysis of this song must begin with the very first line. The adress‚ "Hello darkness‚" is an apostrophe

Analyzing “The Sound of Silence” The song “The Sound of Silence” can be interpreted in different ways‚ but has an overall constant tone of being depressed and weary throughout all of the five stanzas. In the first stanza‚ the narrator may have had a nightmare previously and is turning for darkness to comfort him. It seems as if he wants to keep this awful dream secret “within the sound of silence”. This line may also suggest that he is scared or fears something terrible will happen in the future

Analyzing “The Sound of a Voice” The play “The Sound of a Voice”‚ written by David Henry Hwang‚ is a very moving work of art. The play is easily understood but does throw a few surprises into the mix when one learns more about the characters past. There are not very many scenes and the whole play takes place in the woman’s home where she lives alone. Although the play is fairly simple‚ it has a great theme‚ an exciting plot‚ and very interesting characters. The theme of “The Sound of a Voice” can
