In “The Emperors Test,” Ling was told to raise…

In this short, a horse and a donkey go on a wild chase after a rabbit and a racoon steal the horses’ bushy, black tail. For the most part, the story gets distracted by jump cutting to live-action sequences of the music recording session. As someone who loves working with music and sound, this movie appealed to me as soon as the chase started. The reason is that I believe the music constitutes the actual pace. For instance, each character in the chasing sequences was clearly shot in twos for…

When first arriving at the Lyric Opera of Chicago I had no idea what to expect as it was my very first time attending an opera. My friends and I found our seats and waited patiently for the act to begin. I was immediately surprised when the opera did not start off right after the announcement was made that signaled the start of the performance, but instead, the first eight minutes consisted of music played by the orchestra pit.

Textual Transformation and the Role of Autonomy “Little Red Cap”, written by the Brothers Grimm, is a commonly known fairytale, often told to children as a cautionary tale of disobedience. The story is renowned for its clear moral, and drastic transformation from its pretext, “The Story of Grandmother.” “Little Red Cap” eliminates sexual content, and grotesque actions of female characters, in addition to a multitude of other modifications, to provide a publishable literary work designed with…

Hair can grow long and luxurious if you take care of yourself, or you can lose it if you are stressed, eating poorly and not taking your vitamins. Hair can be long or short, real or a manufactured wig. It can change with one's mood, it can be neglected when one is too busy to deal with it. They even made a Broadway show about…
