Blue Rainmaker Descriptive

The song begins with multiple clocks chiming. The chimes were incorporated into the song to act as a wake up call, some people can take the song acting as something like an alarm. The alarms would signify that there is no time to waste, it is time to get up and be productive or it is time for happiness and success. It means that time is ticking away. In the first stanza of the lyrics it quotes, “Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town, waiting for someone or something to show you the way.” In this stanza the writer means that days can be wasted by not living life to the fullest. It is easy to let life slip away not doing things that can make an individual happy.

Overcast sky, dark wind, cold light, and gloomy actions are the characteristics and effects of a rainy day. Rain is often the precursor to disaster in a story because of the natural feelings of sadness that it brings. Therefore, it is appropriate that a rain motif should be present in “There Will Come Soft Rains”, written by Ray Bradbury. The rain makes a subtle but important appearance in the story, which allows certain events and objects to express their feelings more adequately in the themes of emptiness and the rising power of technology.

I read the article “Code Blue”, “Code Black”: What Does ‘Code’ Mean? which was about the different codes in a hospital and what kind of **predicaments** they can cause for the nursing staff. This message was created by Melissa Stöppler and was intended for anyone who finds an interest in understanding the codes of a hospital. Melissa uses an allusion at the beginning of the article by saying, “TV series like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Code Black" seem to have sparked an renewed interest in the topic of "Codes" in medicine.”(What is the "Code"?, Paragraph: 1) This makes people who have seen the shows think about the characters and the lingo of the hospital. The author uses some ethos when she goes on to define what a code red and code blue are. She uses some medical words such as cardiopulmonary arrest. She

In the novel, “The Bluest Eye,” by Toni Morrison the unorthodox structure and undermining content inspired and continues to inspire controversy.

Cynthia Barnett's Rain discusses the natural and cultural history of rain. The text begins four billion years ago, and then builds to climate change and how it is impacting global patterns of precipitation.

Make It Rain: Ed Sheeran Make it Rain by Ed Sheeran is a moving, relatable, and powerfully composed song. This song relates to all of us and also strongly expresses the story of Chris McCandless in the book Into the Wild. "McCandless was thrilled to be on his way north, and he was relieved as well—relieved that he had again evaded the impending threat of human intimacy, of friendship, and all the messy emotional baggage that comes with it…” (55) going into the wild was so that he can let go, and that’s what he did. The song Make It Rain contains Ed Sheeran singing about the pain of his past, how he wants to let go, and he’s begging the lord to “Make it Rain” to wash the pain away. That’s exactly what Chris went into the wild to

and green. Blue as discussed earlier was represented as the color of the God and other religious concepts, so the major incorporation of the color blue in the reliquary chasse indicated the spiritual significance it carried. Envisioning blue on the chasse unified people to Jesus Christ. Many of the reliquary chasse of the 12th century narrated a story; this individual one narrates the crucifixion of Christ. There are several key figures engraved throughout the exterior of the chasse, however since the crucial scene of the execution are shown on the front face of the chasse, that indicates that this chasse was primarily to be seen from the front rather than the sides. If viewed from the front, the top has three figures designed on it. In the center is the God the Father and on his either sides are two unknown saints. All three figures are represented in mandorlas however in different colors. The God of Father is displayed in the blue mandorla while the saints are shown in green mandorla. Here we can interpret a sense of hierarchy because the God of Father is shown in blue, which represents a divine color, however the saints are represented in green that is a mix of blue and yellow. So, blue still exists and represents divinity, yet the mixture of blue and yellow to produce a different shade of blue signifies that the God of Father is above and more important than the saints.

In 1984's Purple Rain, the title track is fictionally written and arranged by the women in Prince's character's (simply known as "The Kid") nightclub band. Out of egotism, The Kid refuses to play any of their compositions. After stage flubs and personal trauma, a humbled Kid performs "Purple Rain" in dedication to his father. He moves the audience, and regains the respect of his peers. It's considered his finest moment (and a defining point in the film). Art imitates life, because if I had to name one song that encompasses all that I've described about Prince's music and his methods, I'd say "Purple Rain." Welcome to my #1 favorite, everyone. I know, I know, how cliché, but clichés are so for a reason. Whatever they're about has stood the test of time and can be applied over and over. "Purple Rain" is a timeless classic and goes on the "Songs That Should Never Be Remade" list with Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" and Etta James' "At Last." It endures because it's one of the most emotive pieces of music there is. The hopelessness that comes with not being able to prevent or reverse a loss pulsates in every word, note and chord from the first transfixing strum. The heartbreak swells with "Rain's" multiple peaks, predominately characterized by wailing guitars, falling strings and Prince's pleading vocals. He sings of regret with such intensifying anguish, it erupts into howls around the last 3:00 minutes. Yeah, the last 3:00 minutes of 8:43 total. You don't notice (I caught

Jet Blue has an opportunity to remain cutting edge in the airline industry by continuing to be low-cost and expanding carrier. A great market for Jet Blue to expand to would be towards the Caribbean's. As well as possibly lobbying Washington to lift travel sanctions in Cuba, which at one point was a major vacation getaway for Americans. This opportunity fits into Jet Blues current business model of short distance flights at a lower cost than the competition.
