African American celebrate the Cool Musical Industrial day and Jack changes the meaning of the beat. Kerouac bought many changes in the meaning of beat, cool, bought a black cool mask. In 1950, Kerouac was influenced by Buddhist culture, he thinks “Buddhism is a Fellaheen thing,” which explains that he changed himself to be in Buddha culture rather than being in his own Jewish culture. I learned that he switched from Jazz music to Jainism, it was all because of influenced from Neil Cassidy. …show more content…
Jack was obsessed with the word cool. The cool was signified as a new form or word and introduce a song in a different manner. I am not so into this music, but after I went to that event I start listening to this song more often then after. The music wording was little confusing as you keep listening to it you will certainly like his music which makes you feel relax. The cool mind is the form of emphasis which helps you make yourself comfortable in your zone. I would recommend my friends, parents, and other members to visit such program because everyone has their busy life, when you listen to those new words and learn about music you want to relax in that

    8. I think that before Clarisse asked Montag if he really loved Mildred, he thought he did. I feel that they both thought they loved each other because they had been together for so long and did not truly know anything else. Then when Clarisse asked Montag, it made him take a step back and truly look at his feelings and he realized that he truly did not love her. I do believe though that they cared about each other, well until she turned him in.…

    Throughout the Harlem Renaissance time period, many black Americans struggled to make ends meet and live a fulfilling life. Most black Americans were poor and unhappy, while few had the luxury of working and living among white Americans – often rejecting their identity as a black person. In addition, many poor black Americans hid their frustration and/or depression by appearing to be satisfied through smiles and singing. In Zora Neal Hurston’s “Sweat,” Delia Jones hides her frustration about her unfaithful husband, Sykes, and the hard work she must do with smiles, songs, and an overall contempt tone – even when presently angry. Hurston discusses the advances about blackness and the African American culture by presenting a black woman who has…

    Just imagine being an author in the 20th century and finding out much later that you accurately predicted the future of technology and the effects it had on people! First, Bradbury wrote about a world of people obsessed with their televisions, which is terrifyingly similar to the obsessions people have with the TV in modern times. Bradbury also wrote Fahrenheit 451, a tale of people who never stopped listening to music, which is close to accurate to people’s addiction to music nowadays. Lastly, the people of society were shown to be afraid of the government’s technology and power through horrid things happening to the people around them, which is alarmingly close to how people feel about their governments now.…

    New York Philharmonic is one of my favorite places to listen to the western classical music. I always have a great positive sense after a concert. To be honest with you, the idea of attending live events is really good and useful for every student. The goal of our educational system is to make people study not only their major material, but also be well rounded and can have a conversation on different topics in other fields of studies. Live musical assignment helps the students improve their knowledge by first learning the theory in the classroom and let use critical thinking ability later during the live musical…
