Janice Lowe's Song

She has a paper in front of her that had quite a bit of writing on it. At times she would read completely from the paper, other times she would look out at the audience and recite from memory. Her attire was casual, sporting a tie dyed shirt, and some jeans. This fit the event nicely, and made people relate to her more. She spoke into the microphone efficiently, ensuring the audience could hear her.

“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” Jim Rohns quote highlights the basis of Debra Oswald’s play Gary’s house, and also Miroshav Holubs poem The Door. This essay will explore the notion that change causes people to shift their thinking and actions after significant catalysts. Gary’s House illustrates many of the issues and predicaments confronted by the characters and how their alteration in behaviour can have a beneficial outcome for them or others around them. The concept of "The Door" is based on the idea of taking risks and embracing change. The poet uses persuasive techniques to encourage and provoke the audience to take action.

You might say you’re an animal lover but do you care for it? Faye Carey is teen activist who studies animals.

In her book, Lose Your Mother, Saidiya Hartman challenges Jerry Rawlings’ notion of freedom by responding with “Had Rawlings asked, “‘Are we yet free?’ most Ghanaians would have answered with a resounding, ‘No.’ This ‘no’ resonated on both sides of the Atlantic”(pg 126). The capitalistic spirit that possessed the Europeans enabled them to disrupt the untouched country of Africa and capture its children to satiate their wealth aspirations. In the meantime, the Europeans took the land from the Native Americans through genocidal practices and claimed it as their gift from God. Although some claim that the capitalist ventures of the Europeans during the colonial period and the 19th century were beneficial for all and rooted in innocence, it ultimately caused the physical and cultural death of the Native Americans and African-origin peoples and has led to the day to day suffering of their descendants.

Louise E. Jefferson, her father was a calligrapher for the United States Treasury taught her his craft. During the Harlem Renaissance, Jefferson attended the School of Fine Arts at Hunter College in New York where she became an active member of the artist community.

In a time when women were thought of as airheaded and unconcerned with matters of importance by men, a woman’s compassion and intuition can hold incredible power. “In a Jury of Her Peers”, Minnie Wright is judged by her peers, and by their knowledge of her prior life, her current circumstances, and forced destitution, she is found innocent. In the story, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters accompany their husbands to the Wright home in a quest to find evidence implicating Minnie Wright in the murder of her husband. From the moment they enter the home, Mrs. Hale is sympathetic to Minnie Wright. When the county attorney looks over Minnie Wrights kitchen and states, “Not much of a housekeeper, would you say ladies?” Mrs. Hale’s stiff reply is, “There’s a great deal of work to be done on a farm.” Although Mrs. Peters begins the story with a firm stance of support for her husband saying, “Of course it’s no more than their duty,” in response to Mrs. Hales comment about the men snooping. However; as the story progresses, Mrs. Peters views begin to match with Mrs. Hale.

She did not just sing song the whole time, she would also give a brief description about the song to the audience to make it more interesting and yes, she can speak really fast. There were two things I liked the best in the event, first, reading the poem “Little Boy Tamir” because I was explained this poem

into the engaging musical world that she is pouring out on stage in such a way that causes you to

Throughout the Franklin readings, there have been multiple examples of the mistreatment of convicts. Whether it be an unjust mistrial, or an absurdly minimal ration of food. Prisoners have been struggling through the many adverse conditions. One thing that Franklin briefly touched on is the way that prisoners coped with the extreme conditions. Patricia McConnel does a great way of expressing the way Iva and Angora felt while sitting in the jail cell. McConnel emphasizes that singing in prison is a way for inmates to forget about their dreadful situation, and to find pleasure in the simple things in life, such as music.

Frank Sinatra’s “It Was a Very Good Year” falls under the “easy listening” category. The beginning consists of a flute(?) solo with violins in the background, providing a nostalgic feel to the music. This certainly helps when Frank Sinatra begins singing, “When I was seventeen, it was a very good year”. Sinatra often holds the last word of the lyric, as seen in 0:17. In these verses, he repeats multiple lyrics.

During the introduction she uses short direct sentences as to keep her audience engaged. Then she begins to tell us personal stories about the books she read as a child and how she started to write stories at a young age. She also makes some jokes in paragraph two such as, ‘All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they played in the snow, they ate apples, and they talked a lot about the weather, how lovely it was that the sun had come out,’ she makes these jokes to keep the audience entertained throughout her speech. In paragraph three she is still introducing the speech but in paragraph four she

I think that the performer’s ability was appropriate for their location and for their audience because the tone quality of the musicians sounded very rich and clean. When I listened to the performance, I was able to hear all of the different parts of the piece clearly, which has made me much more conscious of the balance and dynamics of each phrase when I play. The texture of the pieces played was very rich and full because an orchestral piece is designed to have a good balance of instruments and good range of frequencies of sound that has lots of different things happening at the same time.

It all began when Ms. Dardis got up on stage and introduced herself. After old the audience who will be singing that night. Me and my group were on stage first. Our first song of the night was “Walk in Jerusalem.”

There has been a lot of covers of the song, Joan Jett is one of the artist who received the most praise for her rendition of the song. Her version was not as power as Lesley’s however because at the time Joan sung the song the woman where well aware that men had no claim over them and that they were free to be on their
