Inflection

3.2. Characters’ representation of thoughts and emotions Ryder does not only share glimpses of his conscious mind, but also reveals his unconscious process of concept formation and his memory at work. The conscious state includes perception and imagination, movements and bodily states, states of empathy with others and intentions. The unconscious states, on the other hand, manifest themselves in their results. In chapter 15, during that bus ride with Boris, he develops a scenario of wishful…

Being a part of Dayseye means the world to me. Throughout elementary and middle school, I was very involved in music related activities from playing orff instruments to being in clubs where we would learn about Broadway music. So when I first saw Dayseye perform, I knew that this was where I wanted to be one day. As mentioned in Bryn Mawr’s newsletters from 1981 and 1982, a lot of pride can come from being in Dayseye. Every part of the name is symbolic. Many would guess that Bryn Mawr’s symbol,…

Vancouver-born, San Francisco-based Michael Zilber, a talent of the saxophone, a dexterous composer, and a respected educator, exhibited his impressive skills side by side with jazz luminaries such as Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt, Dave Liebman, Miroslav Vitous, and Dave Douglas. Now, leading an elastic quartet whose reliable rhythm section includes Dave Kikoski on piano, James Genus on bass, and Clarence Penn on drums, Zilber prepared “Originals for the Originals”, a beautiful 11-track album…

writing. One of the goals I set at the start of the quarter was to learn what writing process best suits me instead of sitting at my computer staring at it blankly and hoping something would come to me. And with the help of Professor Weiner and some inflection I have found my process. I tend to look to experts and other role models to see how it is I need to formulate my writing. My process of discovering this started with the rhetorical precis assignments when I looked to others already…

Self-evaluation Speech video is a significant tool to judge and evaluate the performance of speech. After watching my speech video carefully, I found several ways that I could improve in the future. My initial response to seeing myself is really awkward because I thought my performance was poor at my speech day and I do not want to recall about that. After watching it, I felt it was even worse than I expected. I understand that facing up my weak point is important to improve in the future; thus…

syllables that began with a single consonant of their language, and a vowel (or no vowel) to be supplied by the native speaker. These hieroglyphs were used as pronunciation guides for the signs or characters that were written, to write grammatical inflections which are the extra letters at the end of some words in their different grammatical forms, and, later, to transcribe long words and foreign names. In the Middle Bronze Age, an apparently "alphabetic" system known as the Proto-Sinaitic…

The broken sword slipped from his hand, sinking into the grass at his feet. Averin Vaeren… This time, the voice put him at ease. The soft inflection of the voice whispering his name felt so familiar, yet so horrifying. You must awaken… The current lord has been killed, and you are to take his place… “Wh…” confusion covered his face, “What are you talking about?” Lord Vaeren of Rivena has fallen…

In chapter three of Prophets of the Hood, Imani Perry analyzes Hip Hop music by recognizing certain aspects of songs. Perry believes that the most critical feature of a song is its figurative language such as metaphors and similes, which make the song more interesting and create a feeling or expression related to the song. She emphasizes the importance of the lyrics of a song and its ability to tell a story. Perry details the four formats of the stories of Hip Hop songs: narrative,…

Often times when viewing a film or short video project one may find a particular aspect of the production which above the other production elements drives the mood or the purpose of the production. In viewing the short film “Nocturne in Black” directed by Jimmy Keyrouz from Columbia University, this was undeniably the case. While the film was produced at an undeniably high caliper, with every detail ranging from lighting to shot development being nearly without flaw, the sound design above all…

Monologues are such an important aspect to acting and I am pleased that our Introduction to Acting class was given the opportunity to explore monologues and other basic aspects of acting. Given that I would have loved to have more time during our individual rehearsals to have my performance critiqued, I enjoyed the process we underwent to explore our monologues. I personally enjoyed choosing something that I had never done before and that forced me to read one of my new favorite dramatic works…
