Waltz

I’ve always known about how countries with more military power come in and takeover another cultures land. I never knew the proper term for it until recently. While in this class several instances of both colonialism and colonization have been brought to my attention and I think it is sickening. During this class, I’ve seen different parts of Africa being colonized as far back as the 1800s and as resent as the 2000s. They seem to be a common target not only for Europeans but for many countries…

Works like the song, “Plant Life” by Owl City remind me to look for beauty in ordinary places with lyrics like “I’d rather waltz than just walk through the forest”, while pieces like Shel Silvertein’s poem, “Almost Perfect” remind me to embrace imperfections. These unexplainable works are beautiful to me in that there is not always an explanation as to why I like them. They…

The music played multiple times is a dramatic waltz. There is a lack of synchronization, the music does not fit the image shown. In space we hear no music or sound.

The more…

he hints at it multiple times. In fact, he first hinted at it in the track Poor Thing. In this song Lovett is telling Todd that Lucy had been raped by the judge at a party and is now dead. When Lovett starts to talk about the party there’s a creepy waltz starts to play. The Beggar woman actually sings this in an earlier scene when she’s prostituting herself. This could easily spoil the show for an audience who has never seen it, however Sondheim does this so subtly it’s difficult to catch on the…

Jean Kilbourne’s documentary “Killing Us Softly” and article “The More You Subtract, the More You Add” and Susannah Stern’s article “All I Really Needed to Know (About Beauty) I Learned by Kindergarten” shows that ads only sell products and not ideas.

It wouldn’t surprise me if I couldn't even get into first position” Grantaire looked down at his feet again. “Not everyone can just waltz into the studio and pick up a new discipline whenever they want.
