I did the cheer first, then the chant, and lastly the dance. We would find out if we made the team the next day and luckily I did make the team. For the first few weeks, we would just practice for upcoming football games and get to know our coaches and teammates. We learned new cheers, chants, and dances. A…

Unlike the Middle-Ages, several Renaissance scientists desired to learn about the earth apart from the idea of a Divine Creator, and philosophers brought in humanistic thinking.

traditions, hours of stomp dancing, the settling of tribal grievances, and expressions of gratitude to the creator for providing food.

Do him in!”(136). shows the sheer violence of Jack’s tribe. Without parents these kids have no guidance or clue what they are doing and are randomly murder. They are unwise and too young to know…

century, when feminists sought to reclaim the history of music by women. Though she lacked a formal education, she is one of the very few known composers who wrote both the music and words, utilizing her substantial knowledge of theology and devotional chant, acquired throughout a life completely devoted to serving God. Much like her predecessor and teacher Jutta, Hildegard was known for being a visionary theologist, one who sees visions from God. Her reputation as such assisted in raising her…

Simon stumbles into the circle of chanting boys. He now has proof that the beast does not exist, but a more pressing danger approaches him. He tries to explain the man in the tree, but they do not listen. The boys have a blank stare in their eyes that let him know that they do not see Simon, but their next victim. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies expands on symbols involving human nature and civility, which shape the actions of the characters in their internal battle for survival. As the fire…

Black Pride influenced Jamaica as a whole, but especially the Rastafarian movement (Manuel 2006: 194). Bob Marley’s “Chant Burn Down Babylon” emphasizes many of Garvey’s back to Africa ideals with powerful and enigmatic lyrics such as, “A Reggae Music, mek we chant down Babylon; / With music, mek we chant down Babylon; / This music, mek we chant down Babylon; / This music, come we chant down Babylon.” Babylon represents the power holding the Rastafari in diaspora. The Babylonians took the…

This sense of pride also creates a sense of togetherness…
