“A Very Potter Musical” was written and performed in 2009 by StarKid Productions in the University of Michigan campus. At first glance the musical seems like it would be rather interesting purely because it is every Harry Potter dorks dream come true. However, upon further look into the musical people begin to realize that the music isn’t really that great. For a person who does not have a musical background the play is rather enjoyable but when one turns a musical ear to it they want to run the…

also be used to describe the daily hardships that his father may have faced and his determination to continue overcome those obstacles. Consonance is demonstrated in the second line in which I wrote: “Fearlessly fighting”. I used a soft repetitive consonant sound to aid with sentence fluenc, and draw the reader’s attention to the words which connect to the theme of the poem. The second stanza describes what Thomas may have seen in the eyes of his dying father. I described his eyes as “green,…

Most children would be calm and loving to a dying parent, but the poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night” by Dylan Thomas angrily discusses the importance of life and the importance of passion in the face of death. The poem addresses Thomas’ dying father and urges him to fight death in order to die heroically. Thomas expresses his harsh anger at the death of his father while maintaining a lyrical rhythm and intense metaphors for death. The poem expresses the rigidity of the brevity of life…

The guiding principle of the common law is, that similar cases should receive similar treatment under the law. Common law principles are established and developed through the opinions of…

Attention Getter: I will start by saying something to the effect of “From Beethoven to Bieber, an incredibly wide variety of music has been recognized as ‘good,’ but why are these songs good? Why is Trout Mask Replica, an awful sounding cacophonous mash of notes, seen as good?” Interest Explained. (What experiences have caused the writer to become interested?) I first heard Trout Mask Replica on a video I saw on Facebook, and since then I have been enthralled in finding out why the video…

In Ovid’s Book 5, he represents the myth of Proserpina as follows. Proserpina is the daughter to Ceres the goddess of harvest. As Proserpina was picking flowers in the garden with her playmates, Dis spotted her and felt smitten. He picked her up and carried her away. The reason for abducting her was that his love for her was very hasty. The goddess was worried and terrified and this made her cry out for help from her mother Ceres. Dis rushed off using his chariot and took the girl to a…

both a sort of congratulatory anthem and rallying cry for the, as the title suggests, “common man”. The dramatic, patriotic brass opening, paired with the large, perfect intervals “creates a feeling of wide-open space” (Alsop) and the abundance of consonant intervals represents the feeling that everything is “as it should be”, which, for Americans at the time Fanfare for the Common Man was written, was a welcome feeling after the decade of a lack thereof. Michael Thomas expands on the concept:…

The holy sonnet ‘Since she whom I loved’ by John Donne paints God as a domineering and punitive lord who manipulates human life for self-satisfaction. The poem’s rhetorician is conflicted between his physical and spiritual love. Such a struggle creates tension between his sense of loss and hope that the decease of his lover was requisite for God’s plan. Nonetheless, an ambiguity penetrates the poem, suggestive of a subtle yearning. A tension infiltrates the poem whereby the speaker…

beneficial because it is used every day from reading the paper or writing down what you need to do for the day. The alphabet started back in ancient Egypt by 2700 B.C.E. It was used for hieroglyphics of the Egyptian writing to represent a single consonant…
