The story of Orpheus and Eurydice has long been passed down and retold numerous times over the centuries. This great Greek myth inspired the film Black Orpheus. The movie resituates the myth in Ovid?s Metamorphoses in a contemporary way; taking place in Rio de Janeiro‚ Brazil‚ during Carnival. The costumes that the characters wear are very symbolic and key to interpreting the movie in comparison to the ancient myth. In the beginning of the film‚ Eurydice is being pursued by a man dressed in

Black Orpheus was an interesting film; it was worth the watch‚ even with its somewhat tragic ending. Being that it is a modern adaptation of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice‚ I knew what to expect. However‚ that did not take too much away from the movie; it had me captivated right from the beginning to the very end. The music played a large part in this captivation‚ and so did the characters. If I had seen the movie without prior knowledge of the Greek legend it was adapted from‚ I would

BALANCING OF ROTATING MACHINES The first thing to be explored to control vibrations is to try to alter the source so that it produces less vibration. This method may not always be feasible. Some examples of the sources of vibration that cannot be altered are earthquake excitation‚ atmospheric turbulence‚ road roughness‚ and engine combustion instability. On the other hand‚ certain sources such as unbalance in rotating or reciprocating machines can be altered to reduce the vibrations. This can

be obtained from having two propellers in a contra- rotating configuration. Contra-rotating‚ also referred to as coaxial contra-rotating‚ is a technique whereby parts of a mechanism rotate in opposite directions about a common axis‚ usually to minimize the effect of torque. Examples include some aircraft propellers‚ resulting in the maximum power of a single piston or turboprop engine to drive two propellers in opposite rotation. Contra-rotating propellers are also common in some marine transmission

Dillon Etherson Period 3 22 October 2010 Analytical Essay The poem “A Tree Telling of Orpheus” by Denise Levertov is an interesting poem that explains how a man with such a beautiful voice and such skill on his lyre that his crazed fans tore him limb from limb. His talent was so rich and amazing that even the trees would uproot themselves from the ground and follow him. It’s an inspirational story that tells the reader that with practice and dedication anyone can train their voices and stretch

The Symphony Orchestra The relationship between a core and periphery can be described like the relationship between a conductor and an orchestra. The core is like the main source or power and the periphery is what feeds off of the core. In the case between the conductor and an orchestra‚ the conductor would be the core and the orchestra would be the periphery. The orchestra is the periphery because it is gaining information or instructions on when each instrument should be playing. The conductor
