Breaking the Mold Jazz music in the 1950’s typically consisted of smooth, melodic lines, and compositions in 4/4, and in some cases, 3/4 rhythm, which made it easy for listeners to dance along to, therefore boosting the popularity of the particular band. Dave Brubeck went against this commonality, and created music that he enjoyed playing, rather than composing songs that fit into the standardized “jazz mold.” This decade introduced some immensely talented jazz musicians with the innovative…

The Dave Brubeck Quartet, comprised of Brubeck on the piano, Paul Desmond on the alto saxophone, Eugene Wright on the bass, and Joe Morello on the drums, released the album Time Out in 1959 (Time Out).

The book I chose to read was “A Child called it” by Dave Pelzer. It is the real- life story of the author Dave Pelzer from age 4 to 12. He was brutally beaten, starved and emotionally destroyed by his alcoholic mother. She played tortuous games that left him nearly dead.

Even though Dave had two older brothers, his mother’s rage was solely directed towards him. I…

In this scene the lighting in the house is dim to show the audience the time and how everybody but Coraline, and the mouse she is chasing, are asleep and possibly how mundane (hence the washed out colours throughout the setting) this new house is to her. The lighting in the entrance to the ‘other world’ is brighter and there are far more vivid colours. It’s not as dull or monotonous as the lighting in the real world, again emphasising how uninteresting the ‘real world’ is to her. When Coraline…

The content of literature comes in many forms. Various individuals believe that literature must portray reality in order to have an impact, however, others disagree. For instance, as once stated by English writer E.M. Forster, "A work of literature must provide more than factual accuracy or vivid physical reality... it must tell us more than we already know." The theory behind this quote is that works of literature do not necessarily have to completely exhibit only realistic and truthful subject…
