Cover version

listened to, while also helping to move society in a direction of major change. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was not simply a piece of art through the music it contains, but also through the imagery it portrays proudly on its album cover. This cover is 144 square inches of beautiful color, profound subjects, and intricate symbolism. At first glance, one notices the wide…

As my great work of art that inspired many other parodies I choose American Gothic by Grant Wood. The painting is one of the most recognizable and even people who do not know of the original will probably recognize one of the many versions of this painting. I think this is a great work of art for the simple fact that so much is going on in such a simple picture. The expressions on the faces and the posture they have. What are they thinking, why are they not both staring at the artist painting…

While reading the original version of Cinderella by Grimm’s, I noticed that Disney didn’t just remake the movie. They changed quite a few important aspects of the story and also removed some. The first difference I observed in Disney’s version of Cinderella is that Disney removed the death of Cinderella’s’ mother. In the original version Cinderella had a difficult time accepting the death of her mother. Disney’s version made Cinderella’s principal crisis as making it to the ball. An additional…

Sometimes love is not beautiful, and Medea captures this very well. In the poem, Medea’s heart is broken and she is seeking violent revenge. While this is an extreme case, Euripides is covering a more realistic version of love. This is a more emotional love, but he does not exclude the problems that come along with a relationship. Euripides includes examples of a troubled love throughout the poem. First, he includes the obsession Medea has with Jason. This obsession…

family members, and life experiences which help individuals shape their belief system. The Bible says in Matthew 24:36, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (New International Version). Therefore, despite the fact that waiting for Jesus to return here on earth, there will continue to be different…

hit singles top the charts, it is difficult to say “everything that shine ain’t always gonna be gold” (Cudi). Remarkable singles are usually covered out of respect for the original artist, by different performers, in different styles. A lesser known cover artist, Lissie, performed a ground-breaking interpretation of an original single by a rap super star known as Kid Cudi. Although, Kid Cudi and Lissie have unique musical styles that ponder the lines of production size, instrumentals, quality…

If you listen closely you can hear English teachers still screaming to the memories of the 1995 version of The Scarlet Letter that starred Demi Moore. When first announced the movie had high hopes with a big name director in Roland Joffe and a very talented cast including Demi Moore, Gary Oldman and Robert Duvall, but somehow the movie could not have missed the adaptation more. The comparisons between the novel and the film are few and far between. Whereas there is an actual scarlet letter…

audience, policies, definitions, and the version (“The IT Security Policy Guide”, n.d., pg. 6). The overview will explain the information the policies will address, and the purpose explains the reason for the security policy (“The IT Security Policy Guide”, n.d., pg. 6). The scope should cover what the policy will address, and the target audience will explain who the policy is made for (“The IT Security Policy Guide”, n.d., pg. 6). The policies will cover all of the security policies an…

Jimi Hendrix’s cover of Bob Dylan’s, “All Along the Watchtower,” was a greater success than the original begging the question: since the songs are lyrically identical, which musical techniques boosted Hendrix’s cover to the top charts? Among these techniques are choice of instrument and tonal variations between the two songs. Hendrix preserves and arguably adds on to the original meaning behind the song through these variations in musical technique. Hendrix faced the risk of appearing…

honours the original text to a great extent with his close adaptation of the novel. Both Noyce and Lowry explore the meanings behind the text and aim to educate the audience about freedom of choice and how a utopian world is unachievable. In the film version of 'The Giver,' the director Phillip Noyce honours the original text by showing the worst of sameness. In the film, Phillip Noyce incorporated a scene where Jonas talks about how sometimes he would like to wear clothes that he picked out…
