Logical form

Langer looks at logical form as the obscurity of two or more things, majorly a work of art to the object it symbolizes. The logical form would be the extent of resemblance or similarity of the artistic aspect to the object.

Langer supported the thought that music should be expressed as “a formulation and representation of mental tensions, emotions, moods and resolutions.” Where to her, form meant permanent, as would a “permanent building or vase or picture or transient.” She looks at logical form as the exemplification of similar relational structure. This is can exhibited when two things are put ...

The internet has become a sore spot for many after it has been continuously romanticized as a corner to practice freedom of speech.

INTRODUCTION

In the article “Music for their Minds,” Shore and Strasser (2006) offer the primary point that music should be incorporated into early childhood education, with several supporting points to back up this assertion. In this paper, we will examine those points, reflect on their validity, and hear perspectives from other authorities in the realm of childhood education. Shore’s and Strasser’s suggestion is completely sound; the integration of music (particularly complex music) into the education of young children helps their cognitive abilities and their aptitude at mathematics and music.

Alone, the word ‘epic’ denotes a number of central ideas pertaining to size, volume and length; these ideas are also central to an epic poem. Traditionally, epic poems are long in length and usually deal with an extremely involved plot: heroes, wars, battles between gods, and journeys are usually integral plot devices. They also have a number of key characteristics which help to define them as such. The purpose of this essay is to explore what defines a poem as being an epic with reference to two key examples of such poems: The Odyssey by Homer (and translated by Robert Fitzgerald) and ...

The works of Ray Bradbury have long been held up as examples of speculative fiction: the forms of genres which, generally, encompass a wide range of imaginative features. His work often presents common themes such as those with pertain to the future, space, science fiction and the dystopian qualities of future societies. For example, in Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury discusses a future society where books are banned: presenting the reader with a hint of anti-meta narrative, given that the book is the very thing in the readers’ hands. This also represents Bradbury’s most famous work: it is universally accepted as being one ...

The name Edgar Allan Poe is synonymous with literary horror: his works such as “The Pit and The Pendulum” and his “Murders in the Rue Morgue” short-stories collection have managed to intrigue, woo and horrify readers for decades. His dark, suspenseful imagery has a distinctive style with its focus on the macabre and the slightly twisted. Poe is a master at creating horror without the need for graphic violence and gore, a talent which has long since been lost on today’s modern horror writers. “The Pit and the Pendulum”, for example, demonstrates a build-up of horror through an air of potential misery ...

Never have a band been more influential on an entire generation than the Beatles. Almost overnight they changed the period referred to as the ‘sixties’ and their impact is still evident today. From this small band emerging out of Liverpool in England, society was changed. Music, culture, clothing, hairstyles and attitudes were all effected.

The Beatles’ big journey started in February 1964 when the group appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show (suite101). Following this, the Beatles stormed a new generation with much more than unique music and long hair styles.

1. When completing a piece of research-based coursework, it is vitally important to support your writing with research completed through solid, reliable sources. The problem with many students today, is that with the rise in popularity of the internet, open-web sources are now readily available and brimming over with information. ‘Wikis’, as they are known, are information communities which encourage and enable their users to edit and provide information on subjects. Understandably, this information is largely unreliable as it is fundamentally unsupported by references or a qualification held by its author. When completing a research-based project, it is important to make an ...

Cambridge Encylopedia of Language.

The term ‘preface’ usually refers to an introduction to a book. It gives the reader a sense of what the book will be like by setting subject and tone. Sometimes, the preface is written by someone other than the author, which often lends an air of gravitas to proceedings. The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language is “a book about the English language.” (Crystal, 2010, p vi.) This, in itself, may seem like an obvious point to make about such a book but the words ‘English language’ cover hundreds of potential subjects and technicalities. The preface in the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language discusses various issues associated ...

What makes this poem so striking for the reader is the theatening imagery and the tone of anger and hatred that Plath expresses. Despite the title and despite references to factual details abut her father’s life, I thnk this poem gains its power from its almost paranoid feeling s of hatred and anxiety felt by all women towards men in positions of authority – fathers, husbands, rulers – men with power. As such, it make astonsihing leaps of imagery, some of which are genuinely shocking and disturbing, and which mean that the poem can be read as a lamnet for the ...

What I especially enjoyed about htis poem is its comic and sarcastic tone. The title ‘Cinderella’ leads us to expect a poem that deals with the world of fairy tales and a vaguely medieval setting, but Sexton achieves humor by defeating our expecatations in the first four verses. The first four verses reveal a recognisably modern world and this creates humor – modern details are juxtaposed with a very well-known fairy tale. In each of the first four stanzas Sexton describes a rags-to-riches story. Someone who is poor and unimportant, by a simple twist of fate or by hard work, becomes rich and successful. But each ...

Goheen and Bartholomew’s - Living at the Crossroads

There have been many books written on Christian Worldview in the past years (worldview). However, what makes Living at the Crossroads stand out from the others is its mission-centred focus and its defined setting within the biblical story. Both of these factors reflect the personal interests of the authors. Goheen’s PhD was on Lesslie Newbiggin (Goheen) and Bartholomew’s was on Ecclesiastes (Bartholomew).

The book starts by explaining how worldviews fit into the context of the gospel story and mission. The authors’ belief is that people are now at the crosswords of two opposing narratives, these being the ...

In Patrik Wikstrom’s article “The Adaptive Behavior of Music Firms: A Music Industry Feedback Model,” the author attempts to appeal to an audience already-educated in business, but not necessarily the music industry, basing his strategies on pure information and affecting a more personal, if informative, discourse with the reader. This is accomplished through a variety of techniques which are intended to lend him credibility, while still providing the audience with as much information as they require to understand the concepts that he is attempting to convey.

This approach is seen very easily in his manner of addressing the audience; at ...

Male love and desire for sex was a common erotic and affectional ground for males, a territory that was shared equally by men who did not have a desire for sex with female, and the rest of the male, who were having a desire for males, was a chance for them to get attracted. The traditions suggested that the excluded heterosexuality is just but a convection of latest vintage, based on the refusal of one’s own potential strength of homosexuality. There was some difference between present and past construction of men love and desire for homosexuality as it was highlighted by the Zeus and ...
