The topic of my today’s report is “Jason Taylor as a dynamic character”. From the very beginning‚ I’d like to consider the term “dynamic character” explicitly. A dynamic character is a person who changes over time‚ usually as a result of resolving a central conflict or facing a major crisis. A dynamic character is one that does undergo an important change in the course of the story. More specifically‚ the changes that we are referring to as being "undergone" here are not changes in circumstances

Humanities For my 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

Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift in their respective poems‚ The Rape of the Lock and The Progress of Beauty‚ offer opposite representations of the nature and function of cosmetics in eighteenth century society. In The Rape of the Lock‚ Pope gives a positive representation of cosmetic’s nature and function in eighteenth century society. On the other hand‚ Swift’s representation takes a very negative tone. Both poets clearly appreciate and admire the natural beauty of a woman and their opposite opinions

The dancers wiggle and drop their bodies. There is a unison part where they all walk together and turn heads in the same direction. Part of the group wiggles and drops their bodies again. The dancers wiggle by moving their shoulders in a wavy movement and then go down and roll back up. The dancers use

The main character of this story‚ Swift‚ has many important traits. Each of these traits guided the character to behave a certain way‚ tailoring the narrative around his decisions. For example‚ Swift is understanding‚ militaristic‚ old‚ traditional‚ independent thinking‚ responsible‚ and cool under stress. Since Swift was very traditional and independent in his thought process‚ he never truly trusted a machine to make choices for him. Rather than use Multivac‚ Swift simply allowed fate to decide his

Friday a cover band lead by guitarist and lead singer‚ Randy Jackson‚ performed at a bar on the north side of Milwaukee and played a variety of Rock and Roll tunes. The stage of the concert was very basic. There were no huge props on stage or anything that drew the attention of the audience. The concert was a relatively small event and it had a relatively low budget so it’s understandable to see the lack of setting. However‚ the basic small stage actually fit the atmosphere of the evening

Place yourself back in to the times of Greek tragedy and culture‚ the glorious palace doors overlooking the Kingdom and the elegant‚ admirable robes. Here you will find the setting of “Oedipus the King” written by Sophocles‚ adapted in 1986 by Don Taylor. Taylor adapts this version extremely well‚ highlighting the main themes and significant symbolising Sophocles would have used in the play outstandingly. Also he still keeps the reflection of the Greek culture of the play too. Like all Greek tragedies
