Personal Narrative: Being The Twirling

Up close and personal with Chairman Mao The Book I chose to review titled “The Private Life of Chairman Mao” by Dr. Li Zhisui, is something special in itself. The important aspect of the perspective this account has been recorded in is truly amazing considering the author, Dr Li, was Chairman Mao’s personal physician. Dr.Li was a big fan of Mao and the information he has shared with his in his book is important to consider when studying the personal life of the Chairman that was oh so popular in

which it is presented, we have to consider the text from multiple viewpoints. We must take into consideration intentional and affective fallacies and the socioeconomic circumstances of the presenter/author/narrator.

Black Swan and Whiplash both feature intense practice sequences that build upon the narrative of obsessing over a craft. This intense and obsessive practice leads up to the conclusion of the films; where each character gives their absolute best performance. Nina’s final transformation into an impure and sinful character is completed when she grows black wings and slams her mother’s hand in her door. During the performance, Nina gets into an altercation with herself and stabs herself in the pure White

what Alfred Gell calls the art nexus. In his book Art and Agency, Gell’s theory of the art nexus considers the living presence response where viewers, or recipients, react to works of art as if they are living beings or even persons, that in turn act back upon the viewer, entering into a personal relationship with them that elicit a feeling or reaction. Through the art nexus, Gell demonstrates how art objects are able to embody intentionalities and facilitate agency. The art nexus becomes a network of

shown dialogue without using any words. The ensemble played this piece by Cassia Lee supplied the drawn-out conversation that sounded like twirling and dancing in the moonlight with the solo as well as steadiness. This tune reminded me of “My Heart Will Go On” in that a story is told of the instrumental nature of it, just as much as when the lyrics are being sung by Celine Dion. I found listening to this tune a rewarding experience, and it turned out to be a wonderful start to the jazz concert in

Speech o Every line aims to reveal more about • the character • the dramatic situation • The emotional life of the character - What is the “Emotional Wash” o Where every line is dominated by only one emotion, which results in the performance not being engaging. Often the emotions are superficial and general (sad, happy, angry, sincere) o The characters life is filled with a collection of moments that are rich, deep and unpredictable, these should be shown in the speech o Avoid the categorisation

is moving what we call the narrative focus on the poem from the general to the particular, or put another way, from the big picture to the fine details, in this instance the man hanging from the window. This technique refines the reader's perception of the poem. Just like in films, whenever the director zooms in we know that we are supposed to pay attention since important information is being presented. The speaker tells us that he is waving and the twitching, twirling of his shirt is his desperate

Edward Scissorhands Genre Essay The most appealing films are those that keep audiences guessing, surprise them at the most unexpected times and break conventional film boundaries. Edward Scissorhands (1990) directed by Tim Burton, is a feature film that does exactly that. It blends a fairy tale story with a gothic horror film, to engage the viewer right from beginning until the resolution. It tells the tale of Edward, who was the creation of an inventor who died before he could give Edward proper

In 1874, an exhibition by members of the Private Company of Artists that consisted of Claude Monet (1840 -1926), Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Berthe Morisot (1841-1895), Edgar Degas (1834 -1917), and Alfred Sisley (1839 -1899) perplexed society with the dematerialization of reality in their paintings and signaled the birth of Impressionism as a new movement. However, a decade later, the concept of capturing the immediate illusion had exhausted itself. The crisis
