Pink Floyd's The Wall

While listening to a story, one can engross his or herself in the action, experiencing the events vicariously. By experiencing the story one can gain an understanding of the purpose that the author is trying to portray. In “A Place Where the Soul Can Rest” by bell hooks and “How to Make a Slave” by Jerald Walker the audience is taken on a journey through the progression of each of the author 's life experiences dealing with racism and sexism. Through use of anecdotes the audience develops a comprehension for both of the authors’ lives, witnessing their hardships of being subordinates in a white, male dominated society. Although both authors bring awareness to the atrocities of racism and sexism, hooks’ story’s purpose stands above

“Where Worlds Collide” is an essay by Pico Iyer who talks about the expectations and reality of Los Angeles through the perspectives of travelers from different backgrounds. In “Where Worlds Collide,” Pico Iyer argues that even though Los Angeles is depicted as a vicinity to receive wealth, happiness, and many opportunities- it is actually the antithesis, and instead, many harsh prejudice and unending craziness will occur instead; Iyer argues this by using allusions, anaphoras, and juxtapositions to help convey what he is saying.

Throughout Slaughterhouse-Five, Vonnegut chooses to use special literary techniques that better explain his own encounters in war as well as help his readers bare the horridness of war. Vonnegut adds black humor in his text to benefit readers as well as “an author-as-character” perspective to set barriers and help protect his own memories in the war. Without adding these two specific devices, Vonnegut could possibly have lost reader’s interests in the book or lost his own interest in writing the book.

Dear parents, if you want to know what not to do in terms of parenting take notes from Rosemary and Rex Walls. In the memoir Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, both Rosemary and Rex Walls were terrible parents. They always put their own needs and wants over the needs of their own kids. Rosemary did many selfish acts like when she refused to get a job, she didn't give her children food, and wouldn’t sell her land or the diamond ring. Rosemary and Rex Walls are both terrible parents, but Rosemary was definitely the worst.

Imagine if you were told you had eight weeks left to live, but not just you, the entire existence. That’s the circumstance that the characters in We All Looked Up are put under. In this modern day book written by Tommy Wallach a huge twist is placed in four teens everyday life. In the beginning of the story the characters are worried about classic teen things like family problems, tests, and high school love. But when the world is told that asteroid Ardor will hit Earth in just two months, all of their previous issues seem to vanish. After all, who would care about a history test when you won’t even live to graduate?

Just 6 months after the release of their debut album, Black Sabbath's Paranoid was the first single released from that album. According to Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath's bassists) in a March 2004 article in Guitar World magazine, he said that their first album Black Sabbath and a good portion of the "Paranoid" album were written in the same time period and it only took 2 to 3 days to complete the whole album live in studio. Believe it or not "Paranoid" the song was just supposed to be a 3 minute filler song for the album. It was basically an afterthought and Tony did the rift. They lyrics were done my Geezer and Ozzy read and sung them at the same time.

Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film production of the Anthony Burgess novel, A Clockwork Orange, is a truly unforgettable film.  It is narrated by one of the most vicious characters ever put on screen, Alex DeLarge.  The promotional poster for the film advertised it as "The adventures of a young man whose principle interests are rape, ultra-violence, and Beethoven" (Dirks 1).  Needless to say, music plays a very important role in A Clockwork Orange.  The expressive use of music in this film gives the viewer a look into the psyche of the vicious Alex, a psyche that equates violence with art.  By doing so, the film shows us the complexity and duality of the human mind through a character who loves both

Dystopia and Utopia can be explored in many forms of media such as artwork, film, music, poetry and even dance. The easiest and most vivid way to depict these genres to the audience is in films. Films specifically incorporate visual symbolism through colors and settings and screenshot width and filters. Films may also incorporate a subliminal message to the reader through background music used in different scenes. Displaying utopian and dystopian societies through film leaves some imagination to the audience while allowing them to visually compare with the real world around them. For the purpose of exploring aspects of utopia and dystopia through films, I have chosen the films Metropolis by Fritz Lang (1927) and the episode Nosedive from

Each developed idea or article created by humankind origin in some type of creative activity. Such as, Thomas Edison create a light bulb by attempt an astonishing array of possible filaments. Humankind landed on the moon, because a president visualize that it was possible. Beethoven draft the Fifth Symphony by amalgamate musical notes and ideas in a new and indigenous way. Living with creative is a basic feature of what it means to be human being. Except it is prevent in some way, the momentum to creativity excursion people to do new object or article, whether it is a student in a kindergarten finding a new way to irritate a teacher, an artist made a distinctive brand of

When a person goes out a gets a new record or cd, they do not really think about who designed it. Andy Warhol has designed many album covers. One of his most significant is for a band called The Velvet Underground. Interesting enough, Warhol was also the bands manager for about eighteen months. It all happened by chance that they met. At the time, Andy Warhol and film director Paul Morrissey had talked about the money involved in managing a band. One night, Morrissey went to a place called Café Bizarre, where the group was playing and knew that that was the band they needed. They fired Warhol after eighteen months because they felt he was not getting them anymore than initial fame by association. Their first album, The Velvet Underground &

True music requires everything that Pink Floyd was capable of, and showed within multiple albums. The difference between Pink Floyd and other bands is that they started their own type of music, while most other bands will go with the most generic and overused melodies showed in countless rock songs, that was not just in one specific area in the world. This British Invasion gave so much credit to a lot of talented artist who just so happened to come from the Britain area. Because of this, this changed a lot of styles in younger generations and the overall culture of Britain. Not everyone agreed with the new trends but overall the norm of that time would eventually change and have history repeat itself. In this scenario, Pink floyd is continuously influencing band and had a great run as a band.

Throughout the movie, worms symbolize negative emotions and powers within Pink. The Worm, portrayed as an enormous bottom with legs, declares Pink guilty of the crime of showing feelings and hurting the people who love him. Therefore, he orders Pink to tear down the wall, or, being a part of Pink’s mind, does so himself by “defecating” upon him – an act symbolizing the negative feelings taking over Pink and thereby destroying the wall. The film sequence then changes back to the realistic scene it was during Stop, and is a fast-paced collage of all the things that contributed to Pink building the wall around him. This cinematic technique shows the chaotic and disturbing nature of the negative feelings flowing over Pink, as it all slowly diffuses to a still frame of the wall. Suddenly, the wall breaks in slow motion, clearly showing each brick that Pink so carefully collected throughout his life, break apart from the

Once again, this practical choice affects our overall view of the finished film: this is a modern classroom, with large windows that open out onto the world. The messages of the classroom that the film sends to us – the classroom as a luminous space, the classroom as a space that both interacts with and protects from the wider world, are determined by practical, technical considerations that ultimately effect our entire reading of the meaning of the film.

Bruce Springsteen’s “Tunnel of Love” takes a dark look at love and commitment, comparing it metaphorically to a frightening carnival ride. The title sets up the extended metaphor: marriage is a scary adventure that takes courage and self-control to survive.

When it comes to analyzing a song there is no right or wrong way of doing so. Music appeals to people differently and every person will interpret it based on their own feelings. I chose the song Imagine by John Lennon because it’s a song that speaks volume. John lennon is a very sensitive singer that when you listen to his songs it touches your emotions and make you live the situation discussed. In his song “Imagine”, John Lennon expresses and tries to encourage call people to peace regardless all the conflicts that people face such race, religion or ethnicity.
