The Hum

It was a crisp, bright August morning when Dorothy stepped into the Union Square Orphanage. The fresh wind swept her face as she made her way into her nurse station. She sat in her unbalanced and stared at the 6 month old diploma that hung wispily on her wall. The constant squeaking of her chair made her think of her effervescent desire to quit nursing. When she first started nursing training she had the passion to get out and help anybody especially children. She defied her family and refused…

Instead of using the red lighting typical in horror films, it uses dark, shadowed lighting with green and blue tints, an example being the scenes with the main character's mother. During these scenes, the lighting is very dark, with lots of shadows in the room, and a green tint to the light, which helps with the horror aspect of the film, which involves drowning, as it gives the feel of being underwater. This holds significance in that film due to the storyline, but I am still interested in the…

A nod comes from Jimin's end, "Well then let's get you out of these gross clothes, okay Jungkook?" Jungkook hums in response and Jimin starts to take Jungkook's tattered clothes off, making sure to throw them in the trash, as from now on Jungkook will be using his clothes and when Jimin has the time he will make sure to get Jungkook some of his own clothes.…

Introduction: On Music and Sound in The Tempest: We all know that music and sound are important to many forms of theater. It can help to build the environment in which the story we are experiencing can play out, enforce a theme, or make the audience feel an emotion before they know why. Film as well as opera are a few examples, but it is not nearly as widely seen, or rather heard, in plays. The Tempest does a great job of incorporating sounds and music to construct the eerie, magical feeling of…

An individual’s sanity is sustained by his or her memories. Ken Kesey digs deep into this concept in his famous novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest as he unravels the importance of memories in the shape of flashbacks which occur all throughout the novel. Although they can confuse the reader, Kesey brilliantly uses flashbacks to expose the significance of memories as they can be the one thing left to hold onto, and portray the origin of an individual’s personality. When the characters in the…

When congress passed the Neutrality acts, Hitler’s forces benefited due to the fact that his enemies no longer has access to american made weapons. Political cartoons, such as “Ho hum!

Megan Frascella HUM 102 October 17, 2016 The narrator in my opinion can be called the unreliable narrator, since she has a mental problem that was discussed in the story, also known as a ‘nervous condition’. The story is basically the dairy of hers, and I think she explains herself very well. The narrator knows she is unwell and it makes it hard to believe her because if someone tells you that they are not well and mentally unfit, it’s hard to not question whether they are telling the truth…

The Saturday symphony begins as electric mixers hum and speakers pulse. The rapid succession of thuds signal the conductors below, informing them that the final instrumentalists are awake and ready to play their part. Three children emerge from the stairs hauling pencils, pastels, and sketch paper, littering the living room floor as new masterpieces are planned and executed. Music from microphones fill the rooms with my mother's soulful singing while graphite and stationary collide to become art…
