Amy Neuburg This Loud Analysis

In “Going,” Amy Hempel tells a short story of a young man who had a car accident and is in the hospital, which takes a place in late 20th century America. He sits on the hospital bed and tries to look back what he has done before the accident. The writer describes what he smells throughout the story. When he talks about the night nurse who takes a blood pressure, he describes that her smell is like a Christmas candle. On the other hand, he says that he smelled smoke when his parents’ house burned far away from his house.

At 12:30 PM, on October 18, 2016 I attended a Brown Bag Event that took place at the Jackson-Graeter Backstage Theatre of the Mary Alice Marshall Performing Arts Center. The event was a recital by singer / songwriter Ms. Amy Engelhardt, performing original works from her 2008 album, Not Going to be Pretty. She played the piano as she sang; and two Temple College staff members (Tarik Hassan on double bass and Norm Bergeron on the drums) also accompanied her.

Heather Hoodhood has strong beliefs, she is also independent, she says a lot sarcasm, and she is determined. Heather learns that you can’t just walk away from her family and that she should listen to them instead of blocking them out like Holling.

I have chosen to read the book "The Quiet Room" by Lori Schiller. I truly appreciate books that allow me to see what it's like in the shoes of someone with a serious mental illness. This is based on a true story of Schiller's personal struggle with schizo-affective disorder. This book relates to my life because of how I deal with mentally ill patients in my work everyday. The story left me overwhelmed by the serious emotions and terrifying journey that this woman persevered. "The Quiet Room" is a testimony of how schizophrenia can affect a person, involving auditory hallucinations, delusions, and experimenting

I attended Dorothy Roberts' keynote address on March 23, 2017. Her topic of discussion was one I had never considered before. This ties back into the article by Peggy McIntosh on white privelage, we read at the beginning of the semester. White privilege has allowed me to not come in contact with the idea of a particular race being discouraged from reproducing, when they did they were immediately considered unfit parents, being mistreated in the justice system in terms of their reproductive health, etc. In this paper, I would like to mention a few things that particularly stuck out to me in Roberts address and her writing. Black babies were often assumed to be crack babies and when they were victims of drug abuse, there was no help issued,

The historical accounts by Stephen Coontz are something of importance that has brought us to where we are today. He mentioned how recognition of marriage was left to the church (Coontz, 2007). Based on additional rulings by our own Supreme Court such recognition is no longer viable based on separation or church and state cases. Additionally, because of the financial gain our government receives based on taxation of couples, I cannot for see them going back to the 16th Century standard as you had mentioned. The most interesting thing to me is that such a definition of marriage is within the power of the states to decide, not the federal government.

Regardless of what the title advocates, Strickland actually creates something new by mixing all these diversified influences with a confessed passion for beat making. The 14-track album, produced by electric bassist Meshell Ndegeocello, begins with “Tic Toc”, which sounds and feels like a work song, displaying free-flowing saxophone phrasings and vehement words. This somewhat eloquent ritual tags along with “The Chant”, delivered at a frantic Brazilian rhythm and impeccably adorned with the resolute in/out approach of the bandleader.

Over the course of a year, the landscape changes drastically. The barren trees grow leaves in March. They turn yellow, red, and orange in the fall and brown in the winter. As humanity has expanded, it’s affected the environment. To gather materials to build homes, we’ve cut down trees. In building factories, we fill the air with smog. Literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries reflect these times of technological advancements at the cost of nature. In Jean Toomer’s “Fern” and Langston Hughes’s “Cora Unashamed,” the heroines and the abhorrent acts committed against them parallel the destruction of the environment by industry and artificiality.

This includes music fans who spend thousands of dollars on the latest audio upgrades as well as musicians and DJs who are trying to construct a new genre of music that includes a tactical element. The product can also be targeted towards a new untapped audience of music fans – the hearing impaired.

In life people find that one person who makes everyone so excited to go over to her house, because she lifts people’s spirits? Tamara Abernathy fits that type of person in every category possible.

We get to know Beatrice, Leonato’s niece and Hero’s cousin and the later love interest of Benedick. Beatrice is the complete antagonism of the Shakespearean era’s idea about women. She is unmarried, has no intentions to marry, she passionately hates everything what a woman is supposed to look like or do at her age. She is clever, strong-willed, talkative, witty, sarcastic and always ready to make fun of Benedick or to publicly mocking him.

Now that I have read several chapters of "Hush" by Jacqueline Woodson, the significance of the title shows through the problem in the book. In the book, "Hush", the main character, Towsiah a young dark skinned girl, has to pick up, and

All the audio-conferences were a good opportunities for me to know the way of thinking of the other members in the medical team. Starting with Lynley Anderson’s lecture, this lecture provided me with many important points regarding the confidentiality of the athlete information within the team. As before this lecture I was thinking it’s fine to discuss and disclose the athlete medical issues to the coach without the athlete consent. Helen Littleworth’s lecture, I would say this lecture prepared me with some tips to consider when travelling with a team such as access to a hospital for X-Ray or MRI, how to be prepared to find tape and braces in other countries. In addition, the effect of the travelling to a city with different weather and time

The film I chose to do a report on is called Away From Her. The 2006 Canadian film stars the following popular actors: Gordon Pinsent as Grant, Julie Christie as Fiona, Michael Murphy as Aubrey, Nina Dobrev as Monica, and Olympia Dukakis as Marian.

In this chapter, Katz talked about the origins of digital sampling. I found it interesting to find out how with digital sampling, sounds can be altered by layering, adding, cutting and looping. There was one main example about digital sampling in this chapter that intrigued me. It was a case study named, ‘The Uncommon Parlance of Paul Lansky’. Lansky created a music piece named ‘Notjustmoreidlechatter’ where he took small fragments of his wife’s voice when she was reading a novel and then digitally transformed her voice by mixing up her chattering noises, to the point where no word was long enough to be understood. After reading and hearing his digitally sampled piece, I started thinking about the unique ways in which music could be expressed and how it could bring out a creative side in a person, which could then further engage the audience. The second reading that enthralled me was from a book called ‘Power Tools for Garage Band’. After reading through the book, I realized how much fun creating a music piece on Garage Band could be and so, I further read about how this music software worked and learned about the basic techniques that went along with sampling music
