Chahnour Varenagh Aznavourian born 22 May 1924, Paris, France. This singer-songwriter has carried the torch for the French chanson tradition for over six decades and he is one of popular music’s last great stylists. He also established a film career as a leading character actor. Aznavour’s parents came from Armenia after the Turkish genocide. Aznavour has stated: ‘I am Armenian. Everybody figures out that I am a Frenchman because I sing in French, I act like a Frenchman and I have all the symptoms of a Frenchman.’ His father had a restaurant but Aznavour was preoccupied with music. In age 15 , he wrote a one-man show, and soon after adopted the stage name Aznavour. In 1942 he formed a performing and songwriting with Pierre Roche and the duo had success in Canada between 1948 and 1950. Aznavour’s first hit was the drinking song ‘J’ai Bu’, recorded by Charles Ulmer. In 1950, Aznavour became a solo …show more content…
Although small (5 feet 3 inches), slight and with battered, world-weary features, he is nonetheless an imposing concert performer, acting his songs with the ability of a leading mime artist. Aznavour starred in the 1975 Royal Command Performance, and was parodied by UK comedy troupe the Goodies as Charles Aznovoice. He rarely records anything other than his own songs and his inventive compositions have included ‘You’ve Let Yourself Go’, in which his woman is overweight and argumentative, ‘What Makes A Man’ about a transvestite, ‘Pretty Shitty Days’ about an English word that amused him, and the account of a disastrous wedding anniversary in ‘Happy Anniversary’. His range encompasses novelty tunes, pastiches, ballads, bittersweet love songs, and narrative and character sketches. He has been quoted as saying, ‘Songs mature inside of me and then take their life on paper. A song may take me five minutes to write but it also takes 40 years of
Would you have quit at Valley Forge? Residing in Valley Forge are 12,000 of approximately 25,000 men of the Continental Army. Led by the phenomenal general George Washington, many brave lives are volunteers to fight for independence. Although the Washington’s army was very hopeful, it was having difficulties parting from Britain. Lacking a settlement for the winter of 1777, half the army retreated to Valley Forge. As they were undergoing horrific times, Britain quartered pleasantly in Philadelphia just 18 miles Northwest. Conditions are horrible for Valley Forge, lacking necessities and military aid. Although the French provided money and troops soon after, it was not nearly enough for the camp. The odds aren’t even at all and a troop’s will
valley Forge was named for an iron forge on Valley Creek in Whitemarsh, Pennsylvania. It was not the best place to set up winter camp for the Continental Army, as it was unable to defend southern Pennsylvania at the time. This location also left the vulnerable under-supplied army in striking distance of the British, who were well provisioned and secured in Philadelphia. The area was close enough to the British to keep their raiding and foraging parties out of the interior of Pennsylvania,
Techniques- Facilitated Dialogue, with the audience “What are some motives for you leaving one place or another?”
“The time is now at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are or be Freemen or Slaves.” -George Washington. It all started on a cold and wintry day in December. Soldiers began to make a winter camp at Valley Forge, about 18 miles west of Philadelphia.In October Washington's army retreated from Boston and New York in October, and just recently had failed in keeping the British out of Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the Forming Nation's Capitol. The army retreated to Valley forge, where they would stay for the next many months.They would stay until they could defeat the British in Philadelphia, in which the British set up base comfortably. I am a 9 month soldier, and my contract ends on March first.
Valley Forge was George Washington’s winter camp in the years 1777-78. It was a harsh and cold time for the Colonists troops then, and many were considering leaving the Continental Army or deserting. Many died but most of the troops survived the cold winter. They trained and drilled to become better soldiers. If I were a soldier at Valley Forge, I would choose to stay. One reason I would stay is that less than half the soldiers died or got sick in Valley Forge according to Estimates of Illness and Death. This means that your survival rate at Valley Forge was over 50%. Usually, that’s enough to keep me somewhere. So that’s one reason I would stay at Valley Forge. Another reason I would choose to stay at Valley Forge is that according to Doctor

Cold winters, nasty cookery, worn out shoes, and lack of support was the definition of valley forge. My winter at valley forge was a difficult time, not just for me, but as well as my fellow soldiers due to many factors. The question “ would you have re-enlisted?” determined many soldiers futures. I did not re-enlist due to three main reasons, deaths due to illness, harsh conditions, and lack of support.
In Valley Forge there is a big war for the capitol. I usually have no shoes but this time I am staying. It is cold and no meat. No Meat! No Meat! (Waldo,151). With the congress supporting and the army needing healthy men would you have quit? I would have stayed.
There was a high food shortage in 1946 and this caused many to ration. World War II left a deep wound in India as two and a half million Indian soldiers were sent to aid the allies and 24,000 killed. Many were unemployed as they lost their jobs after the war since there was no need for war production. Gandhi’s party, Indian national congress, created in 1885 seemed it would be the power that ruled after Britain left. This changed, however, as the All Muslim league became popular during World War II. Muslims were a minority compared to the Hindus. The Partition of 1947 created Pakistan, where the Muslims would live, and India, where the Hindus would live.
The year is 1778, the place is Valley Forge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. George Washington and many other revolutionary soldiers are here. I am one of them. Valley Forge is a Winter Camp that we have built to keep an eye on the British army. When I arrived here in 1777, I was not exactly a perfectly healthy man, and I am far from healthy now. Life here is torture. Everyday I see my friends and fellow soldiers die. I have been here eight whole months with only one more to go. I cannot wait to leave this godforsaken place. But George Washington and an abundance of other soldiers would like me to stay to fight for this soon-to-be country. However, I can not stay here, for it is unbearable. There is not enough food to go around, illness and
The air is filled with the smell of burning bodies. It is the winter of 1777, and my condition is getting worse as the days pass. Most of the soldiers here don’t rest that much so everyday they look weary. The winter at Valley Forge started on December 19, 1777 in Pennsylvania. The question I ask myself everyday is if I have served my 9 months should I reenlist or leave? I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons which are smallpox and diseases, bad weather and starvation, and poor medication and treatment. I know that if I don’t re-enlist it could make a huge impact on the soldiers.
I find myself one of George Washington’s soldiers fighting for the rebels at Valley Forge. Valley Forge is a hard place to live and especially fight, but something’s make more of an impact than other things here. One is that our hearts are constantly filled with smoke and our eyes are constantly affected by this. Another is a sickness, we have thousands of men sick here and many have already died. And one of the main things is that we are running very low on meat and quality food and we are eating low protein food. But despite those things I still have a hard decision to make soon I will have to decide to reenlist or not and go home to my family. I believe that I will reenlist for three reasons which are I need to provide for my family and

Good morning Mr Harrop and fellow peers. Today I will be analysing the moral issues and moral dilemmas in non-literary texts, so that we can understand and evaluate how test structures, language and visual features can be used to influence an audience response. An exemplar of many moral and ethical dilemmas is shown through popular sport inspiring movie, ‘Remember The Titans’ (Yakin, 2000) directed by Boaz Yakin. Yakins has a gift for dealing with controversial human issues, by facing the characters with racism, peer pressure and selfishness. Alongside the writer Gregory Allen Howard, they have utilized textual structures, language features and visual features to influence the audience's response.
