Listening To A Mouse's Music Figurative Language

Improved Essays
In my review, i used the three focus writer moves. I incorporated details that the average player/user/listener/reader etc. might overlook by talking about A Boogies process in developing his voice, saying “A Boogie began experimenting with his voice, In Artist, his voice seems to change in certain songs but overall, He seemed to have landed on a creaky but sweet, melodic tone.” I used figurative language by creating a metaphor about A Boogie’s music style “Listening to A Boogie’s music is like going through a time machine taking you back to the heartbreaking moment of losing your first love then going through three stages of heartbreak. First is Sadness, then Anger, and finally Acceptance.” I combined details and argument by talking about

    Ghost Light is a play written and performed by Shawn Wright and directed by Thomas Morgan Jones. I attended the performance at Theater New Brunswick’s Open Space theater in Fredericton, New Brunswick on Friday November 25th 2016. The one-man show told the story of a boy native from Saint John, New Brunswick. That boy was in fact the actor himself, you were transported in his world through a heartfelt and authentic performance. The play as inspirational as it could be told the audience that it is important to be true to yourself.…

    I believe when we genuinely love something with devoted passion, we will definitely put a lot of effort into it without any reluctance even though it may consume much time. Playing the piano is the thing that I am longing for, so I can comfortably convey my real emotions and feelings through texts without compiling when describing the podcast. This is why I chose the story of piano to be the topic of my podcast. Besides, I used several rhetorical strategies in my written script. For example, in the first paragraph, I applied syntheton in the sentence “…

    Peer Review 1: No Name Cognition: I think that your proposition is good and definitely falls within the genre of a justificatory argument. However, I’m not sure that your argument feels like a justificatory argument. This seems to me to be like an explanatory piece overall because you don’t provide much evidence to support your proposition. You explain the background of your argument, but you don’t explain why the debate about Cleopatra’s race has relevance and why it should continue. This is especially since you say that we can never really know her race; it raises the question of what the point is of talking about it.…

    Chris Brown released his fourth album titled “F.A.M.E” in March of 2011, this album combined R&B and Pop for a good mixture of heart wrenching songs, and club jams. Browns’ music uses influences from past artist such as Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke, and Stevie Wonder. His album “F.A.M.E” short for forgiving all my enemies, was a breakout album for him due to the tremendous amount of media drama during the previous years, and also due to the fact that this was his last album with Jive records. Although a good amount of Browns’ songs are pop influenced, this album really put emphasis back on his R&B background and roots. Brown uses several forms of figurative language such as allusion, repetition in order to evoke emotion out of his intended audience and put emphasis on how much he cares about the women he left.…

    The age of Feuilletons is not ongoing today. Books that teach about culture have been written since 1950 have brought forth much about the society in which we live in and how it changes. Novels for all age groups such as If you Give a Mouse a Cookie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Things They Carried, Invisible Man, and Buddha in the Attic justify that we do not live in an age of Feuilletons. Many novels since then have discussed the flaws of society, history, and moral conflicts that are still prevalent today and will be everlasting to the year 2075.…

    In today’s society, not much thought goes into how an author finds his or her voice. Many think of it as a “natural” talent or something someone’s born with, but that is not the case. Only a few people understand the process behind developing one’s voice. Even though discovering one’s voice and identity are not normally viewed as abusive, in some cases the process behind it can be detrimental to one’s character. In Barbara Mellix’s personal essay “From Outside, In” and Richard Rodriguez’s “The Achievement of Desire,” both of the authors discover their writing voices due to their childhoods, which left them with psychological consequences affecting them throughout various points of their lives.…

    In his article “How we Listen to Music”, Aaron Copland (1988) states that music is listened to on three different planes. Copland describes them as the sensuous plane, the expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane. The reasoning for listening to music for the pure rhythm and harmony is the sensuous plane. The sensuous plane is where “one turns on the radio while doing something else and absent mindedly is engendered by the mere sound and appeal of the music” (Copland). People who apply this plane to their life tend to listen to music as a release.…

    I liked Stuart’s spoken version more than I liked the class version for many reasons. One of the main reasons is that Stuart knows his story more than anyone so he’s gonna present it the best. He knows when irony is coming up so he makes a pause. For example, in this story there is a lot of irony and I didn’t have a hard time finding them because the way he presents it. Like when morely said ‘ the kids seem to be having a great time’ the audience knew that the kids were probably drinking alcohol because the way he approached the sentence.…

    For my paper I choose to read “Bop” by Langston Hughes and essay published in 1949 in the book “The Best American Essays of the Century.” Originally I choose this essay honestly because it was the shortest; later to find out it was actually very interesting to me. When I began reading this essay I kind of figured what it was going to be about and how it was going to end, but the author made it much more than what I expected. In this essay I would say the structure is ranked the highest of all categories, because of the fact he has so little words with so much meaning behind them. In Hughes’ essay he explains how Be-Bop came around and why it means so much to him.…

    In Richard WIlbur’s “The Juggler”, the poem describes a seemingly mesmerizing performance by a juggler. The narrator, who appears to be among the audience uses poetic elements such as imagery, figurative language, and tone to reveal his fascination and inspiration evoked by the juggler’s performance. Imagery was proven to be one of the most prominent poetic elements within the poem, emphasizing its importance in the revelation of the speaker’s change. At the beginning of the poem, in stanzas one and two, the imagery was much different from the rest of the poem. The imagery appeared to be much weaker, and did not excite the reader as much as it had later in the poem.…

    On Friday 24th October 2014, I went to see Frantic Assembly’s version of William Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’, directed by Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett. Frantic Assembly are a theatre company whose performances are primarily dominated by their unusual use of physical theatre to express emotions of characters and uncover hidden meanings within the play through the use of movement. The play was performed to an audience of mostly young adults and teenagers, perhaps because it had been reconceptualised, which possibly appeals to younger generations. Before the play began, there was a very clear and deliberately created atmosphere.…
