Comparison Between Maestro And Pay It Forward

Many composers use various techniques in which they communicate the distinctly visual. John Misto’s ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ and Alexander Kimel’s ‘The Action in the Ghetto of Rohatyn, March 1942’ represent significant issues in our world by using various literary and dramatic techniques. Through using these techniques it is evident that the composers of these texts allow the audience to ‘see’ with our eyes as well as with our minds. The many literary and dramatic techniques have the ability to create a visual that

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen of the Multi-cultural convention, I have been selected to address the statement, “The Language used by composers has the ability to present responders with opportunities to challenge their perception of self and the world”. I will be doing so by closely analysing the language used by Komninos in ‘Hillston Welcome’ and ‘Back to Melbourne’ and John

Composers of texts present a biased attitude to the events, personalities or situations represented. In various texts such as Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” and Leunig’s cartoon “Yet another picture with the wrong caption”, the composers bias is evident even though conflicting perspectives towards the personality are presented.

A distinctly visual aspect of demonstrating the experience of the characters kindles curiosity in the audience to involve and instill emotional understanding of the context. Through the use of distinct and unique techniques, composers create an emotional response that can have a significant effect on the responders’ attitude on the world. The play ‘The shoe-horn sonata’ explores the crisis of circumstances as John Misto depicts the forgotten history of the women captured and imprisoned during WW2. Misto explores the experiences of the Australian nurses and the government’s response to their pleads of salvation, to emotionally bind the audience and the characters. Likewise, David Douglas Duncan involves the audience by evoking a feeling of pity and empathy in his Korean War photograph. He creates sentiment for the loss of innocence and employs distinctly visual elements to convey the horrifying nature of war. He profoundly highlights power in the photograph to explore the despair felt by the weak fleeing Korean citizens. Hence, both authors elevate the context with a visual representation of the individuals’ struggles to create curiosity and emotional rapport with the audience to improve the understanding of the characters experiences.

The Readers teach the young minds they are molding the concepts of kindness and charity. In the lesson “The New Year” (83), Edward gives money to a poor family, in “Emulation” (98), a young boy sacrifices his own prominence to help his fellow classmate. The many stories revolving around family and virtues such as, kindness show how looking out for your fellow man was taught through this text. This will be an important idea in the discussion of societal relationships throughout industrialization and it is this value that seems to be the most challenged and evolved within the period of

Differing contexts convey concerns in different ways through the use of diverse techniques. For example ‘Othello’ is a play which uses props, stage positioning and lighting compared to ‘O’ a film using camera angles, technology and music. This develops a sense of timelessness as issues relevant in the Elizabethan era still being relevant in our present day. Both texts are created due to the values of their era, allowing the

Consider the alternative dramatic functions of the role of Hector in The History Boys and his contribution to the comic impact of the play, with close reference to a key scene. Alan Bennett’s play The History Boys, is set in the 1980s and centres on his own sixth form experience. The protagonist (or arguably, antagonist) Hector, is first presented as ‘A figure in motorcycle leathers’, giving the brief impression that he is a fashionable character. However, once he takes off his jacket revealing that ‘he wears a bow tie’, it becomes apparent that Hector is merely an old man trying, but clearly failing to fit in with the younger crowd.

It is in human nature to strive towards a sense of Belonging, a process that incites the creation, or deterioration of a sense of personal and cultural identification. The memoir, Romulus, My Father, by Raimond Gaita; John Guare’s play, Six Degrees of Separation; and Tim Winton’s short story, Big World, from the collection, The Turning, explore the concept that Belonging is the driving force for the human condition. Each composer represents their varied perceptions of belonging in their texts, conveying that Belonging as a fundamental need we strive for in our search to create a concrete identity.

In this essay, I will take a gander at the play of Romeo and Juliet. I will examine how Shakespeare has utilized dialect in the play for symbolic impact. I will also see how Shakespeare has displayed love and the path in which Romeo and Juliet converse with each other, I might choose whether their affection was genuine and discuss their parents differentiating perspectives and conclusions. I will likewise remark on the play's pertinence today and perceive how Shakespeare has utilized dramatic devices and structures to improve the discussion between the youthful lovers. All throughout the play, there is a consistent theme of love and destiny, I will be dissecting this subject and show how it influences Romeo and Juliet.

Dance is an intricate art form that is observed through a variety of styles including musical theatre. Not only is dance entertaining, but the art also provides as a gateway to a deeper understanding in a play. “Music Man” originally written by AUTHOR NAME is a fine example of dance unveiling a story through numerous elements. In this piece dance expresses a tale of an outgoing man turning an old-fashioned, strict town into a lively place for everyone, especially the children. As the musical moves along, dance elements enhance the transitions of the town from an unloving and separate city, to a converging village, and finally to a fully united community. With strategic planning, the choreographer succeeds in conveying the message of a changing town.

Music has the power to portray the emotions someone feels. It has the power to bring different people together; it allows to empathy and sympathy among other strong emotions. Umberto Giordano’s Andrea Chenier is a beautiful opera because of the fact that many who watch and listen to it can relate to its story in some way. In on scene of the 1993 film directed by Jonathan Demme, Philadelphia, Andy Beckett, the protagonist listens to the opera’s aria, “La mamma mortal,” with his lawyer, Joe Miller. Andy identifies greatly with Maddalena, the character who this aria in the opera. His passion for the piece is obvious as he talks throughout the piece about what he hears. As a non-musician, he does not use the correct terminology to describe the

Music plays a critical role in the narrative films as it is important technique that filmmakers use to support the narrative and influence the way that the viewer interacts, responds and interprets the events as they unfold. The godfather, which is one of all time Hollywood movies, represents a good use of music that succeeded in supporting the dramatic events that take place in the movie. Moreover, both diegetic and non-diegetic music in the godfather movie are used to achieve the overall purpose by using the different principles and functions of film music that range from setting the mood of the viewer to providing continuity within the movie. In this essay, we will take part of the godfather movie in which we can observe and analyse the

‘The Pianist’ is a cinematic masterpiece by the Polish director Roman Polanski. One of the key ideas that appear throughout much of the film is that of ‘hope being instrumental in our survival’. This idea is portrayed through Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish pianist, as he struggles for survival in Warsaw as everybody that he once knew and everything that he once had is lost. The idea of ‘hope being instrumental in our survival’ is worth learning about as it allows the audience to realise the importance of hope in todays society – and to understand how Polanski uses music to symbolise ‘hope’ for Szpilman in the film. Polanski effectively utilises an array of visual and oral text features such as music, dialogue, and lighting to build further

Forman’s tormented, iconoclastic subjects are often pitted against iconic or impersonal antagonists, but Amadeus conflict remains rivetingly intimate, inspite of its sumptuous, larger –than life settings

In theatre, the topics of plays often relate closely to what is happening in the world at the time. Social and political themes for many plays are pulled from the most controversial opinions to make a statement. For example, the issue of refugees and immigrants is of major importance in today’s political field, and it affects culture and society. References to the subject are made in literature, movies, television shows, music, and theatre. It might be easier to find these references about the refugee crisis or thoughts of national identity in modern culture. However, modern works of art are not the only ones that reflect the events in society. When examining works of theatre from the past, one can also see how the historical context contributed to the plays of the time. While the topic of refugees and immigrants is currently a major issue, it also affected many other civilizations throughout history. Thus, the topic should be identifiable in plays from any period of time, including plays from the Elizabethan period. When looking at the portrayal of refugees and immigrants in Elizabethan plays, it is important to look at the historical context and understand how that affects the lens with which they were viewed.
