    Handshape In sign language there are a variety of handshapes that are used to create signs. The majority of these handshapes come from the manual alphabet and numbers and can have slight modification to the handshape and C hand shape. (For images representing the manual alphabet and numbers please refer to pages 4 and 5 of the booklet) Carol struggles to produce select handshapes, some of which are acceptable modification, some of which are due to lack of focus and need to be practiced. An example of an accepted modification is when Carol produces a sign with a C handshape it often appears to look like an E handshape. (Figure 1.1) Select modification have been deemed unacceptable by her team, such as when Carol signs two handed signs that require both hand to have a handshape that requires extended fingers, she will often put down her fingers on her weak hand. An Example of this would be when Carol sign FAMILY she often will have the correct F handshape on her dominant hand but she will produce a S handshape with her weak hand.

(Figure 2.1) The sign DRIVE…

Therefore, what makes a good prince and a bad prince is framed by the religious references because Christ raises up faithful servants and is humble, unlike…

    When comparing Claudio Monteverdi’s compositional techniques in his madrigal “Dorinda, ah dirò” to what was traditionally expected in the prima practice, one notices a nonchalant treatment of dissonances, as well as an overall quickened sense of rhythm and far too many liberations in melodic writing. While observing Monteverdi’s madrigal, one notices several instances of note-against note dissonances. The first instance (example 1.1) displays dissonances of a seventh and a ninth between the…
