Daphnis and Chloe

Daphnis and Chloe begins with and because of the narrator hunting, and the narrative of Daphnis and Chloe themselves begins with animals. Animals are the consistent aspect of a story that contains no absolutes: good characters do bad things, bad characters do good things. The only absolute presented is the beauty, power, and virtue of animals, through which they influence titular characters’ kind nature thereby differentiating them from their morally confused counterparts, inspire people to be better

prologue of Longus’ Daphnis and Chloe exemplifies the usage of ekphrasis common in Greek prose writings of the second century A.D., and how this inspired his romantic story. In this passage, Longus vividly describes a painting he stumbled upon in Lesbos featuring a myriad of scenes and reveals that Daphnis and Chloe was inspired by this particular painting due to its aesthetic nature. Each aspect of the painting corresponds to the particular events that transpires in Daphnis’ and Chloe’s quest to

One reason suggesting Chloe’s guilt in Max Power’s murder is her compelling motive for the crime. First, Chloe had a financial motive for murdering Max Powers. According to the Preliminary Report, Max inherited “a net worth of 12.4 million” and the suspects [Ray, Chloe, Dez and Beverly] were “all named equally in his will” (Preliminary Report). As one of the four inheritors of Max’s will, Chloe would receive $3.1 million dollars in the event of the millionaire’s death. Although Chloe’s financial situation

story of Daphnis and Chloe’s pastoral romance, love drives both of them mad with longing. Love amplifies their innocent feelings for each other, resulting in a disorienting combination of depression and mania. The affliction goes deeper; their total devotion to each other and pastoral

love, sexuality, and social status are sometimes closely linked in literature, both Plato’s Symposium and Longus’s Daphnis and Chloe address these two concepts individually and independently. Through speeches and dialogues, Symposium takes a more direct approach to these concepts, often tackling these issues through specific discourse and relating them to everyday life. Daphnis and Chloe on the other hand, attacks these issues through storytelling. Compared to the speeches and dialogues in Symposium

Ballet is a style of theatrical dancing that was developed in France during the 17th century, and it became classical in the 19th. Ballet also describes a theatrical spectacle, which its use can be dated back to the Middle Ages. Ballet could include singing or dancing. It was institutionalized in France in 1672 with the formation of the permanent dance troupe Academie Royale de Musique, known today as the Paris Opera (Sadie 565). Ballet has been closely related to opera for much of its history. The

ENTRY: STILL NEED TO WORK ON/7 HABITS OF MIND (CAPACITY FOR SUSTAINED, FOCUSED ATTENTION)/PROGRESS Tutorials necessitate that I begin work on assignments far earlier and make more progress than I normally would if I was not required to do so. I work best under pressure, so I usually do not begin assignments until immediately before they are due. I am thankful for tutorials for forcing me to change my behavior in some ways, yet I am still fundamentally the same: I don’t begin my work for tutorials

The master I picked was Maurice Ravel. The name of the performance is Daphnis et Chloé, No. 2. I chose this performance because the description interested me. The music is described as being a piece from a performance inspired by a Greek love story. I had no idea what to expect before listening to the music, but I was not disappointed in the slightest. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by this orchestral performance. The music was performed by an instrumental-only orchestra. The orchestra was

About 20 years ago, I picked up a friend for the airport. She told me that she had a present from her and another mutual friend. It was the CD (remember those???) of the musical When Pigs Fly. For the next hour I remained speechless as I listened to one hysterically funny track after another. It began a TRUE love affair with the musical. The concept of the revue, by Mark Waldrop and the late Howard Crabtree (1955-1996), is that "Howard" stages a musical. As he struggles to do so, dealing with

It’s amazing to listen to musicians who do not normally play with each other come together and leave the audience in complete awe. That is exactly what happened on the day of Thursday November 26th 2014. The Bill Crothers Varsity Winds comprised of grade eleven and twelve students along with a few, talented grade tens went to listen to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra play. We travelled via a typical yellow school bus that took us to Roy Thomson Hall where we went right to the top level and took our
