Clapping

Music and Black culture The history of black culture goes back approximately 120,000 years in Africa. During this period in time and throughout history, black people have seen times of hierarchy, sorrow, slavery, racism, prejudice, justice and freedom. In these heart breaking and joyous times, music has been a form of expression for the black community in more ways than one. The topic of black culture is something that has gained more and more attention over the past few years. We have seen…

me and said, “It’s ok it was your first game.” After that my spirits were lifted. Then next game after that one we were better. When I was on the field I saw my whole family from the crowd. After the ball was hiked I heard pads popping and people clapping. I got the ball and started to run. I juked a couple people, and then ran all the way to the touchdown. There was a ton of sweat dripping off my face, and then a drop got in my mouth. It tasted like salt from the cabinet. Then I realized I…

to toe with cobblestone. Everyone is talking, laughing, and having a good time. I sit down at the table and join their conversation, that is, until we hear a blaring trumpet. We look over our shoulders and see the newly inaugurated King Macbeth. Clapping commences as he walks towards our table. Raising a glass he begins to exclaim, “May all my guests be blessed with good…

Bound by the chains of “King Cotton,” African slaves brought to America faced imprisonment and oppression, and yet they were able to keep distinct parts of their unique African culture alive. Over time these facets of their African identities melded with aspects of American culture to form a distinctive African American culture in slavery. While family dynamics and religious expression remained fairly continuous, the religious beliefs of many slaves changed to reflect typical white beliefs. This…

time in Japanese school, a rather significant change occurs, Sookan releases herself from the depression and decides to rebel against the Japanese, even if it is only not sharpening rocks to the desired amount, or something more substantial, such as clapping for a student who spoke out against the Japanese in public. But the third example is arguably the most natable change from throughout the story, the variation I’m referring to would be the courage and hope Sookan is able to summon inside…

beloved president. (Become emotional) Why would someone kill president John F. Kennedy? (pause gather emotions into optimism) I know, no, our nation knows justice will prevail in this dark time for (emphasis) the United States of America. (pause for clapping if it comes) President John F. Kennedy was starting to campaign for his second candidacy and was going to Texas to campaign. He was trying to bring democrats together so he could carry the state in the poles. Our young and ambitious…

with my shoelaces of my right foot. My heart thumped out of my chest as it felt like everything was in slow-motion. I watched their goalie leap towards the top corner where the ball flew into the net. All of the sudden, I heard wild cheering and clapping from the sidelines. I made it in the net and scored! My teammates ran up to high-five me. I was having so much fun, but the other team was already up by two points and it was the last quarter of the game! The other team had the ball and was…

It was 9:00am and time for Ava and the girls to start their first dance performance. Ava and her friends were so excited to perform in front of Brisbane. When the music started playing they all had butterflies in their stomachs. Once the music started to fade out all the girls knew the cue to hold the end pose for three seconds and then happily run off stage. Soon after all the performers finished their dance they picked up their belongings and walked to their parents. Not long after Ava got out…

Concert Etiquette When attending a musical performance, there are different sets of rules that accompany certain types of concerts. Most of the time these rules are unspoken and typically general knowledge, with the exception of classical music concerts where pamphlets may be given out or picked up ahead of time. That being said, there are many limitations of how one should conduct his or herself at a performance. During a classical music concert, the general principle is to be polite and…

sit in it. Whenever I’m feeling down I can put in the modern DVD version of my show and it seems like time stops. I lose sight of reality for a little while and I hope that never changes. What has changed is me. I’m not the silly girl screaming and clapping when it comes on anymore. Those fictional babies and vibrant colors are forever trapped in the show, but I will continue to evolve. After years of accompanying Tommy and friends on their journeys I hope that the memories will continue to tag…
