But is it really? For Brian Johnson, that is not the case necessarily. Between juggling the weight of his multiple academic clubs, his academic success, and maintaining his reputation in his parent’s eyes Brian seems to have a pretty busy life. But one Saturday that all changes. Surrounded by a group of…

The British Empire was once the largest empire the world had ever seen. It was thanks in part to the adoption of a strong, organized form of government. The Westminster system is one of the most prominent systems of government globally thanks to the now defunct empire’s far-reaching influences. The system of a bicameral parliament, which is what the Westminster system is, represents every citizen’s voice, but that is not necessarily the case. Many of the countries that impose this system of…

The Joshua tree is included as a symbol for the Walls children who like the tree must struggle through their childhoods before finding success. This inclusion appeals to logos, as the symbol is very logical because of the obvious similarities. This symbol helps reveal Walls purpose of the importance of perspective. Walls, like the Joshua tree, gained her “beauty” from her own “struggle.” Walls uses the Joshua tree as an example to her privileged audience who believe that struggle is instead a…

In Translations, by Brian Friel, language is used as a mechanism to feature the many issues of communication within the characters’ small Irish village. Throughout the play, Friel attempts to advocate for the Irish language because he believes that language represents one’s identity and historical background. Unfortunately, the town, and specifically the local school, have been appropriated by British officers, whose main goal is to transition the school into an entirely English-spoken school,…

Language is an important instrument that allows us to communicate with people. Without any sort of language, it would be impossible to communicate with others. Exposure to language during our childhood is important for our development because that is when our language begins to develop. This was especially clear in the case of Genie which occurred in the city of Los Angeles, California. Genie was a 13-year-old girl kept in isolation for more than 10 years without knowing any form of language.…

attempting to find information from various sources about the heavy use of panning in the version I analysed, I only found information about the more recent 5.1 surround mix. In keeping with the idea that they were trying to use orchestral sounds, Brian May says “So over there what you have is, kind of, in my mind, a trumpet section” (Queen, Queen, The DVD Collection: Greatest Video Hits 1, 2002). However this is played on…

MOVIE BACKGROUND: The Kendrick Brothers are at it again with their latest installment into the Christian movie scene, War Room, which is a lovable and heartwarming film focused on prayer and trusting in God. The story starts off with Tony (T.C. Stallings) and Elizabeth Jordan (Priscilla C. Shirer), a seemingly “have it all” couple with their beautiful daughter Danielle (Alena Pitts), a big house and a white picket fence kind of life style. However, things are not always as they seem. Despite…

senate could be fixed through having an equal senate proportion throughout every province so it can represent regional interests more effectively and lessen the disparities between each province. Also, Docherty (2002) proposes that the experiment of Brian Mulroney, to appoint Senators from a list provided by the Premier, would be a viable way of reforming the Senates unelected body. Although, Docherty provides information on reforming the senate Docherty also provides critical information…
