MUTE

Priscila Chivalan CART 329 1 November 2017 Commentary #2 Question 1 The Films The Trip (1967) and Taxi Driver (1976) are two films that were created during the time Hollywood was having set backs and during the time that they created new ideas that eventually took them out of the struggle.

In Toni Morrison’s essay entitled “Recitatif” she discusses about a friendship conflict between two girls; one black and another white. The two girls, Twyla and Roberta, meet at St. Bonaventure orphanage. They become friends not because of their age but because both of their mothers are alive. Twyla’s mother party a lot and Roberta’s mother is sick. The way the essay is written, the race of both girls is unclear, whether who is white or black. Many years later, the girls meet at the restaurant…

immediately made my bed and hopped into my warm-up outfit for the day. My mom had already been awake for some time and we we’re en route to the Milton Performing Arts Center, skipping my breakfast altogether, as this day had always rendered my appetite mute. We arrived at our destination just shy of 10:30 am, the anticipated time of arrival, and I had been at the edge of my…

“Angelou becomes a voluntary mute and lives in a world of silence for nearly five years” (Hanford). That 5 years of silence comes to an end when Maya meets Mrs.Flowers. Mrs.Flowers introduces poetry to Maya, poetry catches Maya’s attention and she instantly falls in love with how powerful the words sound and how they flow together. “‘How do you like that?’ It occurred to me that she expected a response. The sweet vanilla flavor was still on my tongue and her reading was a wonder in my ears. I…

Jean Kilbourne, the author of “Jesus is a Brand of Jeans”, is a social theorist who has been lecturing for years about advertisment. In this certain essay, she emphasises most on how us, as humans, treat inanimate objects like an intimate being. Advertisement is what drives a company, it’s like the bait on a fish hook, and the people are the fish. For example, people use materials as salvation, we use materials to objectify each other, we even use materials as spiritual objects. In Kilbourne’s…

hearing, it begins to sound more like a combination of the best parts of swing and traditional jazz. The quintet is composed of a saxophone, trumpet, piano, double bass, and drums. The trumpet has its own unique sound, which could come from either a mute or the style in which the musician is playing. The bass does more than keep time, which is unusual for that instrument. Chick Webb, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington all wrote music for big swing bands. Chick Webb was known for his long and…

Social media is an electronic world containing applications with new forms of communication and expression through posts and, in this case, tweets.

The main purpose of Twitter is to make your own posts, as well as see what others are writing. “Twitter users connect by becoming followers of one another. This concept is similar to becoming ‘friends’ on other social…

In the story “Recitatif”, Maggie is a kitchen woman and a target for abuse. Maggie attracts the ire of the residents on St. Bonny’s due to her being mute, bowlegged, and wearing a childish hat. With a passing glance, one would think that Maggie is simply a side character who plays very little role in the story as a whole, but this cannot be further from the truth. Maggie is absolutely central to the conflict of the story, and she has a profound effect on the actions of other characters within…
