    Marie-Adel Analysis

    The relationship that Nanabush formed with Marie-Adele and Christophe formed with Snow Falls was intended to further the spread of their spirituality, but in doing so, their actions became misunderstood by others. For Nanabush, the only two women on the reserve that are able to see him – Marie-Adele and Zhaboonigan – do not know who he truly is. This is shown when Marie-Adele first badgers him with questions such as, “who the hell do you think you are, the Holy Spirit?” (Highway 1.19). In addition, Marie-Adele even questions his intentions when she asks, “who are you?…

    The Rawlings "The Mark of a Pro" ad really came off to me as a terrible ad and I am a fan of their equipment. First off, as a baseball player, I know all of the players in the ad, they are all great reasons to use their glove and would really catch peoples eye. The ad would not be understood if for one you didn 't watch baseball, or if you were a parent attempting to get your child his first glove. Another thing is, It says a mark of a pro, but it is not like all professionals use that glove, th ere are many other gloves just as good as Rawlings, and many amateurs us other types of glove.…

    The articles presented by both Kristof and Kaleem explore the importance of the humanities, and how it can be a positive influence on the development of critical thought, intellect, and emotional intelligence. The combination of these factors contributes, in my opinion, to a more well-rounded (spiritually, emotionally, intellectually) individual. Nicholas Kristof's article explores, compares, and contrasts how the liberal arts and humanities are a skill that is just as necessary, and just as relevant, as any level of technical acumen. He suggests that the humanities are more than just superfluous knowledge, but a conduit or pathway to soul enrichment. I agree with Kristof's assertions that liberal arts "equip students with communications…

    Pieter Bruegel Analysis

    • 2 Pages

    Pieter Bruegel was a perfect Renaissance man in light of the fact that the fine art he created exemplified a percentage of the essential Renaissance standards. The beliefs his work indicated are independence, elegance, secularism, and authenticity. Independence is the faith in the quality and worth of every individual and the thought of conveying everything that needs to be conveyed uniquely. Elegance is the reference to Ancient Greek and Roman workmanship and mythology. Secularism is the enthusiasm for subjects and topics not identified with religion or the congregation.…

    Ringo Starr couldn't have looked more cool, quiet or gathered. Two hours before he ventured before more than 6,000 fans at the Greek Theater, the ex-Beatle, not exactly a week short of his 76th birthday, respected a guest into his changing area as he loose in a seat, dressed monochromatically in a smooth dark coat, thin dark pants, coordinating T-shirt and sneakers. "The visit is incredible," he said of his most recent All-Starr Band, which wrapped a 21-show 2016 U.S. visit show with the sold-out homecoming show at the Greek. The lineup highlights guitarist-vocalist lyricist Todd Rundgren, Toto guitarist-artist Steve Lukather, Santana keyboardist-artist Gregg Rolie, bassist Richard Page, saxophonist-percussionist Warren Ham and drummer…

    The piano part in “Blue Rondo” is fast and exciting, but that was all it was – it did not seem striking different. As a listener in the 21st century, these groundbreaking innovations in the jazz language seem almost commonplace. Multi-meter works, African and Middle-Eastern influences, and abstract jazz are all commonplace in this age. However, looking to when this album was released, one can begin to see the true genius of Brubeck. While “world music” was existent within the U.S. marketplace (commonly under to guise of “African” music traditions,) incorporating it into popular music was not done, especially not to the success that Brubeck found.…
