I had a great time in MUS 1014 listening to the variety of songs that Peter Mercer-Taylor provided. If there was one song that I wish he could have discussed, it would be “Juicy” by Christopher Wallace a.k.a. Biggie Smalls. The reason was that during the rap unit, Taylor offered a variety of rap songs to us during the 1980s and the new millennium. However, I only recalled him playing only one rap song from the 1990s: Snoop Doggy Dog’s “Serial Killa”. I think it would have been nice if he…

In the poem “A Moment in Troy”, Wislawa Szymborska utilizes a glimpse into the daydream of a young girl, an allusion to Helen of Troy, and the free verse style to represent the female desire to…

When I first saw the title of this movie, I was caught by it. “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is a name which can make people feel interested about the film itself, and you can imagine a cool girl through this title. Although I had thought that the heroine of this film would be an uncommon girl, Lisbeth provided me much surprise when I saw what she done in the film. This is a good movie for audience to think about challenging the masculinity power in the society through the behaviors of female…

The facts revolving around Travon Martin’s character were questionable. On one hand, he enjoyed Aerospace Technology…

Ur, the city from which Abraham was called, has a unique and interesting history. Surprisingly, Ur was a city of significant prosperity and wealth, yet steeped in the worship of idols.

Today the site of Ur is known as Tall al Muqayyar (Arabic for “mound of pitch”) and is approximately 160 miles from the…
