When people hear stories, most of the time they can tell if they are real, but sometimes it can be hard to tell. Tim O’Brien’s novel The Things They Carried shows his and the experiences of many other soldiers in the Vietnam War. He describes all the horrible things they see, what they feel, and the impact of the war on them. Along with the memories of war, he also includes the art of writing and the importance of stories. In some of the chapters, O’Brien even writes about events that never…

Portfolio: extract 1: section 1: research and performance development: The two extracts I decided to perform were extract 1 Punk Rock in the style of Stanislavsky and for extract 2, East in the style of the practitioner, Berkoff. The two plays in comparison are very different. East is incredibly intense, both vocally and physically, pushing both the actors and the audience to the limit. Whereas in Punk Rock I was leaning more so to a naturalistic format in the style of Stanislavsky works in…

Heavy metal emerged in the 60s/70s and popularly became known simply as a “heavier” rock. At this time it was relatively homogeneous and a small, dedicated subculture. However, the dramaticized theatrical performances and powerful, loud music soon gained worldwide attention because it diverged so strongly from the music being produced at the time. No matter if the reaction was positive or negative, most people had a strong viewpoint when it came to heavy metal (Walter xi). With the growth of…

Kurt Cobain, an American singer and songwriter, with his band,”Nirvana” became one of the biggest acts of the 90’s. With his contrasting singing style using soft melodies with loud violent choruses, he swooned audiences across the world with his angsty and heartfelt music. Kurt started in Seattle, Washington where he created a new genre of rock called/labeled Grunge. Kurt came from an era when rock and roll had a very produced and polished sound, full of emotion and a hunger to jam, Kurt broke…

Modern Post-Grunge is very different from the previous, heavier sounding Grunge despite sharing many common characteristics. The differences really started to come from a select few of major artists, who in turn made it blow up into a great genre of music. The one who is my personal favorite would have to be Breaking Benjamin. They were quick to become successful due to their impressive sound. Breaking Benjamin is known for being dynamically loud, having a low pitch, a dark and heavy tone, and…

The future of learning how to play the guitar may be now. Learning to play the guitar using hi-tech interactive learning tools has many of the same advantages as buying a guitar online. Obviously, one advantage is that you don 't have to leave your home. Another advantage is your teacher is always there for you. Some of the methods of teaching online are so thoroughly designed and technically accurate that in my opinion a guitar player can find exactly what type of lessons that can be purchased…

These were: - Rockfield Studio 1 - Roundhouse - SARM (East) - Scorpio Sound Bohemian Rhapsody was produced…

FILM ANALYSIS: FULL METAL JACKET War is a tragic, yet important, piece of history that people must be aware of. Having several documentations and recreations of these wars into films should give a much wider audience of different generations the privilege to learn about the pain and struggles that people went through. Based on the opening sequence of Full Metal Jacket (1987), I feel that the message Stanley Kubrick successfully attempts to display to the audience is that war affects people…
