In Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello, many compositional aspects change greatly between the first duet between Otello and Desdemona in act one and their second duet in act three. One of the most significant of these changed elements is the emotional position of Otello. Between the two duets, due to the skillfully crafted deceptions of Iago, Otello’s profound love and respect for Desdemona, his partner, is compromised and he moves to a place of interwoven devastation and rage (Kelly 351). This emotional…

On the surface, one might not think that the great Italian opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi and the acclaimed indie group Dinosaur Jr. have much in common. One concert, for instance, took place in an intimate performing arts center to an attentive and quietly reverent audience while the other in a loud, rough-and-tumble rock venue to a lively and informal audience. Indeed, there may appear to be no similarities between the effortlessly skilled classical stylings of the UNT College of Music…

Death within Perfume In the novel Perfume, Patrick Süskind manipulates the incongruity between the significance of a minor character’s life and the purpose of their death in order to highlight Grenouille’s progression from an animal into a human. Within the novel, many of the characters that orbit around Grenouille die, and their death reflects the importance of their interactions with Grenouille. Three categories of death exist within the world of Perfume, the death of important characters,…

relational continuity constructional units (151) used when the employee expressed that she had to go back to work. Both the mother figure and the son figure stood of to hug her, but the younger teenage daughter remained sitting. Instead, the worker standing stroked the head of the girl sitting – a nonverbal action of haptics (76) which spoke volumes. I took special notice of how each table ended their conversations. I noticed that hugging was more common between females, while a more accepted…

"Ouch!" Josephine had cut herself, making a sandwich, once again. Sticking her cut finger under running water she called out to her husband, "Earle, can you please get me one of those wonderful bandages you make. "This is the last one and we don't even have anymore gauze or cotton, so you better not get hurt again until I can get my hands on some more," I said handing her a piece of cotton on some adhesive tape and gauze. "I'll try to get some from work today, if James isn't breathing down my…

Mr. Campbell I wanted give you an apology because I was getting started writing my rough draft and I was reading it to myself, and I started to get thirsty, then got up to get a drink. I left the door cracked because it would only take me about 6 minutes. I grab my drink, and while I'm sipping on it, I heard my door open. Next thing you know I hear tearing and ruling; I sit my drink down and run to my room. Once I get there and look down at the floor, my paper is ripped to shreds by my dog. I…

I took my mother to Chili’s today (5/7/16) for an early Mother’s Day lunch; the experience was embarrassing and unacceptable. The hostess takes us at a table with crumbs all over seat, before I say anything she gets a napkin and pushes all of the crumbs off the seat and onto the floor however, crumbs are still all over half of the table, I didn’t say anything to her. After we sat down our feet literally stuck to the ground, before opening the menu my hand and arm got very sticky from some…
