Rain brings life to the earth, ending drought and watering crops. However, Ernest Hemingway uses rain as a much more negative symbol in A Farewell to Arms. In the first chapter of the novel, rain is immediately established as a sign of bad things to come. Then, it is raining right before Henry’s friend warns him that the Italian police are coming to arrest him. Thirdly, rain comes in at the end of the novel at the same time that Catherine is close to giving birth, foreshadowing that something bad will happen to her. From these three points, it is clear that Hemingway portrays rain as a symbol that foreshadows negative events in Henry’s life.

The film Singing' in the Rain was produced in 1952 but still takes the world with storm. The musical film, which was directed by Gene Kelly and Donen Stanley stars Donald O’Connor, Gene Kelley, Jean Hagen, and Debbie Reynolds has a lot for the audiences to desire and learn from. The film presents a skillful use of setting, music, makeup, costumes and standard photography (Cannon 2). The piece combines many effects together to catch the attention of the audiences. In fact, the viewers enjoy both the musical part and the visual element separately, something that makes it a well-thought piece. In other words, it is both a romantic piece, though a smog as well.

The spectacle use of costumes is accurate, and the lights and sound usage help shape the mood of the play, while the song (especially during Act I) made the mood more lively and dramatic, at the same time. It captures the journey that the young woman was going through, so the instrumental pieces fit the setting just right.

I enjoyed the different musical rendition's of Fun Home. It was eye opening to see how depending on the various musical accompaniment t you can communicate a different emotion or message. The last song Telephone Wire communicated how much hurt and disappointment Alison was feeling. It wasn't your classic musical but I still felt more of a connection than the musicals

On a less serious note Langston hushes writes in April Rain Song about feelings a reader may experience during a rain shower. Those feelings could be tired, lazy or easy going.

One of the most beloved films/musicals of all time. People enjoy this musical for numerous reasons but mostly because of its campy humor and heartwarming emotion. After many years, this musical is still very relevant and able to make an audience laugh.

She demonstrated very nice diction and did an incredible job at staying in character. “The Hammer” is the first song in which the audience members are introduced to the hilarious Miss Trunchbull. Interestingly, Miss Trunchbull’s character is played by a male tenor and she/he is an absolute blast to watch! He did an excellent job in staying in falsetto and adding vibrato. “Bruce” is a song that highlights one of the most well-known scenes in the book in which Bruce gets in trouble for eating a piece of Miss Trunchbull’s cake and therefore must to eat the entire cake. “Telly” is performed by Mr.Wormwood, Matilda’s dad, in which he pokes fun at people who read instead of watching television. This hilarious number was executed perfectly by the actor. He had great sliding notes and made the number very fun to experience. “When I Grow Up” is a beautiful song that sends a heartwarming message with its sweet melody. One thing that astounded me was that the actors were singing while sitting and standing on moving swings. Not only did they have nice diction, they maintained excellent phrasing along with crescendos and decrescendos. “Quiet” and “My House” are

The film, Singing In The Rain, directed by Stanely Donen and Gene Kelly, uses many themes, camera angles, and overall simple techniques to engage its audience within the movie and yet still manage to symbolize plentiful acts. The movie mainly focuses on the new era of ‘talking pictures’ and how it affected Cosmo’s career and film, The Dueling Cavalier. Within the many scenes, I chose to focus upon the famous, “ Good Morning,” scene/melody.

Today is a rainy day and the temperature has been in the low forties all day. The environment has shaped my behavior immensely today. I tend to be extremely productive on rainy days. I love the rain and it puts me in a mellow happy mood and when I’m in those moods I tend to do things to improve my day of life like cleaning and doing homework. “Tweaking the environment is about making the right behaviors a little bit easier and the wrong behavior a little bit harder.” I am actually writing a majority of this paper today, which happens to be black Friday. Usually on black Friday my parents make my brother and I leave the house. My mom and dad go shopping early in the morning and wrap a lot of the presents later in the day. Since it was raining and I was kicked out of the house for the greater good, I figured I would trap myself in Starbucks and crank out as much work as I could. Having the change of setting and mood of the environment around me I was able to stay more focused than I would have if I were trying to do work on my kitchen table. I am a person who gets easily distracted so shaping the environment to make change easier for me would consist of trial and error for what works. Trying new things and recording their outcome, then sticking to what works best it a great was to shape the environment and behavior. An Amazon 1-click-style tweak I can create for myself to make my goal easier would be to get a time every week where I go to a quiet place, whether it
