can dramatically alter the interoperation when reading a play. This gives the author a lot of power to tell a great story and have control over its interpretation. One of my favorite examples of a well written play is “The Farnsworth Invention” by Aaron Sorkin. This play is a fiction interpretation of the battle of inventing television. You have boy genius Philo Farnsworth competing against business mogul David Sarnoff. The story is a race to determine who really invented television. By straying…

team for five years. He was a lifetime lover of baseball and believed that there was more to baseball than just the sport. "Baseball isn't just the stats. As much as anything else, baseball is the style of Willie Mays, or the determination of Hank Aaron, or the endurance of a Mickey Mantle, the discipline of Carl Yastrzemski, the drive of Eddie Mathews, the reliability of a (Al) Kaline or a (Joe) Morgan, the grace of a (Joe) DiMaggio, the kindness of a Harmon Killebrew, and the class of Stan…

Mays shares the record of most appearances in the All-Star Games, 24, with Hank Aaron and Stan Musial. In appreciation of his All-Star record, Ted Williams said "They invented the All-Star Game for Willie Mays(bruce).” People imagine the American dream as something they want to grow up to be or what success is and Willie Mays is…

Aaron Copland’s “Hoedown” from Rodeo incorporates several elements of music to further its ideas. The “Hoedown” is peppy and in duple meter. It is program music, using traditional American folk tunes and an impressively diverse range of high and low pitches to convey a sense of vastness, representing the immense American frontier. The movement’s beginning uses consonance as all the notes seem to mesh well with each other, but the middle shows some dissonance, as the notes seem harshly unrelated…

suggest jazz, others may mention blues, and some individuals may suggest the marches of John Philip Sousa. However, one composer’s name is the true answer to such a question; through his synthesis of jazz, blues, and other musical styles of his time Aaron Copland’s compositions embody the quintessential American sound.

This has resulted in audience members…

Roberto Clemente’s legacy changed the way Baseball has been played by contributing on the field and in fans’ hearts (Gilbert 100). Hank Aaron was another player that was pure and clean to the game. He hit a career .311 and was…

As I walked into the stadium, the smell of hotdogs and popcorn filled the air. It was a familiar setting. A setting I had grown to know very well because my dad loved baseball. The red white and blue colors were everywhere as fans came from every direction into the stadium. My dad and I walked to the outfield where the opposing team was warming up for the game. Turner Field in Atlanta was not only home of the Braves, but a home to many baseball fans. The concessions and amenities for the fans,…
