    I went to see ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ on Thursday, December 1, 2016. The tickets were $15 For decent seats and in my opinion, the show plus the seats that we had were not at all worth the $15, that we spent.

But, to help you understand in my own opinion as to why ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ was so bad, let me give you some feedback and get into a little more detail in the next few paragraphs.…

The audience immerses itself in the backstory the witty princess Fiona, and the giant green ogre, Shrek, who is sent to rescue from a dragon-guarded tower in hopes to get his swamp back. The elements that stand out in Shrek The Musical are the costumes, a heavy amount of singing, and the acting, which all appeal to the 75$ price tag.…

    ‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort’ (pg 3). In J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit, there is a world just like ours. But what two worlds are exactly alike? No matter the similarity, each world is as unique as a snowflake.…

    I hardly agree with Bakan’s third proposition, which states that “sound are organized into music by people; Thus, music is a form of humanly organized sound”. I don’t believe that music should be defined as humanly organized sound since music means differently to different people. Music can be any kind of sound, as long as the one listening to it considers it as a form of music. First of all, I believe any sound that an animal makes alone is a form of music. In the book, Bakan thinks that only when a human being uses a given sound for musical purposes, such as sound of birds and whales, does that sound actually enter into the domain of “music”.…

    Music can serve as a communication method between people. In the old times in Mexico it was very common for an admirer, in most cases the man, to go to his love’s house with a mariachi or a small group of musicians and sing love songs until the girl woke up to the man’s singing and received him by opening up her windows to the balcony she was in. Now, you must be thinking why did I bring this up? Well, just like the man dedicated love songs to his love nowadays people can’t explain the love towards their spouses or their parents so they pick a song to express what they feel. Music is communication not only by showing love but also by discussing their life experiences and history.…
