White Queen

Winter’s Tale, we wonder who is the stronger woman—stronger in the sense of “having strength of character or will”, and not physical strength (Webster’s New World Dictionary, 1329). The two main woman characters in The Winter’s Tale were Hermione, (the Queen) and Paulina (the wife of a Lord). In The Winter’s Tale, King Leontes…

Being involved in the community will change ones life. It was my senior year in high school until I realized what happens when one gets involved in their community. Being involved in the Miracle League not only helped the kids, it helped me as a person. I still remember the first time I went to the Miracle League. It was a tradition of my baseball team to go to the Miracle League once a year. I was nervous, and did not know what to expect. It was a steaming hot…

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to remember every place has a history regardless if residents care for it or not. However, it’s the most difficult when I think about the borough I live in, The Bronx. During my senior year of high school, I received an invitation from The Bronx County Historical Society to join an event. The society invited valedictorians from every Bronx High School to attend this awards reception. This event took place outside next to the Museum of Bronx History where the hosts…

O Mine by Guns N Roses. After further analyses of this piece of music, I realized it would not have enough contrast for me to write multiple pages. After much thought and consideration, the new piece I chose to write about is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody has plenty of dramatic contrasts, frequent shifts in tempo, and changes in rhythmic character from section to section. The piece was written by Freddie Mercury in 1975 for the bands album: A Night at the Opera. I believe…

song I chose to analyze was Bohemian Rhapsody. This song was written by a famous British band called Queen. The band was officially formed in 1970 with Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, Brian May, and Mike Gross making up the members of the band. A year later, the band signed with Trident Audio Productions. In 1973, the band released their first single and began their first major tour. In 1975, Queen released their single Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie Mercury wrote “Bohemian Rhapsody” in London. Roy…

Dreams are something everyone has, they can be easy to find, or they can be one of the hardest things one can endure. In the movie “Finding Forrester” we look into Jamal Wallace's life, and his dreams of not only becoming an incredible writer and basketball star, but also being accepted by his peers. Despite living in a bad neighborhood and going to a run down school, Jamal is offered to go to a high end private high school, but to keep a social status with his friends, he takes on a dare to…

Taking the time to go to a destination of culture and different ethnicities, gives the option to open the perspective of different ways of life. The journey from rural Manhattan to Jackson Heights and Flushing Queens opens the eye to many ethnic groups. From the moment on the Subway to the change to the No.7 train, the atmosphere changes and cultures clash. Many would be blindsided and oblivious to the diversity, but going to this destination with the intention of seeking different ways of life…
