What evidence do you see in your performance for this assessment?
In the video, one can see me standing up, breathing at the beginning, and using my hands only to hold The Bible, I tried to pronounced vowels rounded.

My eyes are not in The Bible only, I try to read part of verses and show my face to audience. An image of the presence of Jesus, Moses and Elijah was created when I see in three different directions.

    Kyra Walker @02733860 DPI #2: Chi-raq “War; a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between opposing forces” Merriam-Webster Spike Lee’s Chi-raq is a movie that is loosely based on Aristophanes Lysistrata. The latter focuses on a women’s strike led by Lysistrata in efforts to end the Peloponnesian war. In the story, Lysistrata devises a plan for all women to withhold sexual intercourse with the men, until they put an end to the war. Lee creates Chi-raq as an extension of this concept. In Chi-raq gang rivalries take the place of the Peloponnesian war and all the women in the city and eventually around the world participate in the strike.…

    Grainger Country Gardens

    The piece that I have chosen is “Country Gardens”, written by Percy Grainger. This piece was his first piano arrangement of the English Morris dance tune “Country Gardens.” It became extremely popular and his greatest commercial success, later this piece became one of his least favorite pieces as he was asked to play it so often. A remark that was included in the early publication was: “Rough sketched for 2 whistlers and a few instruments about 1908.” In another edition he writes: “In some parts of England, groups of countryside dancers-teams of Morris Men- decked out with ribbons and jingling bells, still dance the Morris Dance to the accompaniment of such tunes as Shepherd’s Hey and Country Gardens.” Although this piece may appear simple, it is just another example of Grainger’s genius with harmony, counterpoint, and color.…

    As I went through transcribing my English source videos, I began to notice a pattern in the transcriptions. Most of my comments were about the fact I did not understand the signs being signed or the fingerspelling was too fast for me. After making this comment multiple times and hearing myself make this comment, I realized that I truly need to work on my receptive skills to be able to understand the content of whatever assignment I am at as an interpreter. Along with working on my receptive skills, I noticed that my comments were very long winded.…

    Transformed Into Fire

    The first chapter of Transformed into Fire is titled “The Call to Communion”, which seems to be the main focus of this chapter. Hougen (2002) shares a couple of people’s stories through this chapter, each person’s story showed that they wanted to feel God’s love, not just hear/learn about it. She talks about the head and the heart; the head is about performance, and logic, while the heart is about experience, and feeling. She begins to explain the difference between communication, and communion. While communication is headwork, we listen, take orders, and perform, communion is being there, feeling, experience what is going on.…

    In the culture of 2015, there are many known hate groups which use the Bible to harm other people and to spread hate, which I will refer to as “Biblical Hatred.” The groups use scriptures and interpret their meaning into a message of hate. Some people see doing so, as a positive use of the Bible while others see scriptures used to promote hate as a negative use of the Bible. One way to determine who is right is to look at various meanings of commonly used passages, and then comparing these passages to other passages in the Bible to them to help create a fuller picture of whether “Biblical Hatred” is correct or wrong. To understand the different meanings of such scriptures and the ways people interpret scripture, we must first pick an area…

    Point Of Jesus Allegory

    • 294 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In this chapter, we get the chance to explore the amazing parables that Jesus spoke to the crowds and explained to the ones who were in close relationship with Him. Although parables are not allegories, they do resemble allegories in that they have metaphors, similitudes, similes and the fact that they have a beginning, and ending with a plot. The point of Jesus's parables was to call forth a response from the hearer who understands the reference points within the parable. Think of it like a joke; it has an underlying meaning that one has to be listening intently, or intelligent to catch the meaning. As interpreters, we are to take on the hermeneutical task of reconstructing the punch line, if you will, of the original parable while applying…
