are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!" (chapter 1). The dwarves, Ori, Dori, Nori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Fili, Kili, Dwalin, Balin, Oin, Gloin, and Thorin, are mischievous, greedy, and have been known to embark on many adventures, which is generally frowned upon by the likes of Bilbo. As dissimilar as these parties may seem, the novel divulges several commonalities between the two as time wears on. The first and…

open about his abilities, as he starts to become a kind of “Harlem Hero.” In retaliation for what Luke did at Crispus Attucks, Cornell instructs his men to collect a “Luke Cage stupidity tax” from the people of Harlem. He needs the money, but he’s also trying to provoke Luke. It’s similar to the type of manipulation Rackham used on him in prison, but it serves the plot well here, too. When you have an indestructible character like Luke, it’s nearly impossible to set up any real physical danger.…

a bad start, and will result in the unexpected. A few verses later, the song continues, “in places deep, where dark things sleep, in hollow halls beneath the fells.” (14) This excerpt tells us “dark things” sleep in hidden places, yet they don’t give a name. It is subtly telling us that the readers will read about Gollum soon. The last few verses of the song are: “the pines were roaring on the height, the winds were moaning in the night, the fire was red, its flaming spread…” (15) In chapter 6,…

I believe that they may have used heavy panning to make the song sound as though a large orchestra and choir are performing it. Some examples of where they have used panning are: - Harmonies in the opening section are panned on both sides. - On the vocals (0:36) the line “little high, little low” is panned fully left first and then fully right. - In the opera section (beginning at 3:02) there are many examples of use of the stereo field including “Thunderbolts and lightning” and…

Mayo. These women focused their attention on finding their missing grandchildren who were either kidnapped with their parents or were born while their mothers were imprisoned and then given to “proper” families. Kidnapping was one offense that did not fall under the Due Obedience and Full Stop Laws and therefore allowed groups to pursue legal action against those who played a role in the kidnapping the stolen infants. Those who participated in the kidnapping were indubitably involved in other…

The use of chromatic side- slipping when the words “easy come, easy go” are sang, gives emphasis to the dream like tone. A piano and bass guitar beginning to play marks the transition from the introduction to the ballad. After a few seconds the vocals enter and start singing in a softly sung manor. After mercury sings a couple lines starting with “mama”; his voice progressively turns from soft to extremely passionate. At the same time, there is a modulation to a new key as the drums come in.…

Whether the feedback on a particular subject is positive or negative, the politician is able to know what voters think. Social media allows them to know how the public is responding to an issue and how they can adjust to appeal more to people. On September 17, 2015 Green Party leader Elizabeth May was left out of the election debate, because of social media she was still able to participate. She posted her rebuttals on Twitter during the debate in order to get her ideas across and get…

The Mothers of the Plaza De Mayo were direct victims of oppression. They were not only obvious victims of violence, but also victims of gender exploitation, powerlessness, and cultural imperialism as described by social justice theorist Iris Young. After reading Marguerite Bouvards “Taking space: Women and Political Power,” I have concluded that powerlessness can in fact be overcome, civil disobedience can work to bring awareness to grievances, and a three part strategy, as outlined by David…

If vocal transparency alone can determine whether or not someone is the greatest singer of all time, then Freddie Mercury wins again. If one listens to Robert Plant sing “Custard Pie”, one may be lucky to pick up two out of every five words that are sung, but when you listen to Freddie Mercury sing one can clearly hear every word that is sung. Let us not forget that every band has at least one song where you cant clearly hear what is being sung, but no one has ever had the problem of…
