TL;DR- Grammy's are coming up and I wanted to put in my thoughts on who should win. Now, I'm not going to go through all the nominees, but I will go through the ones I thought that need the spotlight on. Reminder, I am not a voting member in the Grammy's or a professional in music, so this is literally based on a teenager seeing the trends and doing her research. Since the plot twist in 2015 of "They Album of the Year" going to Beck rather than Beyoncé, we can see that the Grammy's voting is…

Head in Heart Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, once said, “Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.” In a battle between the head, the thoughts, ideas, and logic, and the heart, the feelings, emotions, and passion, one often faces a critical choice: to follow one’s head or one’s heart. In Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Jane, an orphaned young lady on an odyssey to find love and true happiness, is faced with this conflict of balancing…

Motivation with Music When I began teaching language arts, I thought, how in the world I would motivate middle school kids to be interested in learning to read and write better? I even went so far in my thinking to wonder if I could even stir a passion within them for at least some of the elements of this class. I began looking within myself and thinking of the things I was passionate about at their age and the one thing that kept coming to mind was music. Even this initial thought moved my…

just like any person would as their life progresses. Jane starts as a child who is heavily dependent on her aunt and eventually gains morals and values and becomes an independent, successful woman, first as teacher at Lowood and then as governess to Adèle. By the end of the novel, Jane becomes a mature woman who knows between right and wrong and knows when to leave a situation, as when she left Mr. Rochester. Conversely, in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll’s character is…

The Awakening by Kate Chopin is a literary work full of symbolism that adds meaning to the story and to the characters. Throughout the story Edna Pontieller expresses her progress, in The Awakening, as a new woman by using the symbolism of the caged birds, art and music, houses, and the sea. From the very beginning of the story, the caged birds play a main role in symbolizing Edna’s entrapment. In the book the parrots kept repeating ““ Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi! That’s all right!””…

next pieces are all part of the 21st Century, but represent different genres. For the heavy metal area of music my group and I chose Snuff by Slipknot. For pop music we chose Baby by Justin Bieber, Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray, and Hello by Adele. Baby expressed the upbeat style of 21st Century music while Hello expressed pop music that was slower and more meaningful while Young and Beautiful depicted an alternative type of pop music. Coming in as the tenth piece is Tonight Looks Good on…

anything except for his pride and his authority to others, including his own family members. Rochester, on the other hand, is not the symbol of sympathy but he seems to express it more than St. John, this is reflected in the fact that he took in Adéle and cared for her when her mother abandoned her although she was not his child. St. John represents the stereotypical male during this time period that believed himself to be superior to others around him, authoritative over his household and…

Stories that promote the idea that as an individual we have control over our life. People usually anticipate…

the advancement of technology reduces our empathy as well as gives a misconception of connectivity. In both the book and video, she provides evidence that this is actually true. A real life example that justifies her argument is when I go to the Adele Stamp Union, I see people eating and on their phones. It is rare to see people actually carrying verbal conversations with the people that they were eating with. Technology has hindered the way we communicate and how we interact with others.…
