...Ursula Le Guin The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas With a clamor of bells that set the swallows soaring, the Festival of Summer came to the city Omelas, bright-towered by the sea. The rigging of the boats in harbor sparkled with flags. In the streets between houses with red roofs and painted walls, between old moss-grown gardens and under avenues of trees, past great parks and public buildings, processions moved. Some were decorous: old people in long stiff robes of mauve and grey, grave master workmen, quiet, merry women carrying their babies and chatting as they walked. In other streets the music beat faster, a shimmering of gong and tambourine, and the people went dancing, the procession was a dance. Children dodged in and out, their high calls rising like the swallows' crossing flights over the music and the singing. All the processions wound towards the north side of the city, where on the great water-meadow called the Green Fields boys and girls, naked in the bright air, with mud-stained feet and ankles and long, lithe arms, exercised their restive horses before the race. The horses wore no gear at all but a halter without bit. Their manes were braided with streamers of silver, gold, and green. They flared their nostrils and pranced and boasted to one another; they were vastly excited, the horse being the only animal who has adopted our ceremonies as his own. Far off to the north and west the mountains stood up half encircling Omelas on her bay. The air of morning was so...

...summary The 21st century is an era of information , information technology and people's lives are closely related,and whether individuals or businesses cannot be separated from the network. This article consists of three parts, and the first part of it makes a Comparative Study among IT,electricity,railway,telegraph and telephone,which contributes to the conclusion.And the second part is about the state of IT,while in the third part ,the writer makes recommendations for the IT users.Carr said that a business gained its strategic advantages from the scarcity of resources rather than its universality.And through the comparative study,he pointed out that IT had changed from private technology to infrastructure,which had both universality and publicity.He also thought it must be transient rather than long-term if a business tried to gain advantages through infrastructure.For all these reasons,Carr got a conclusion that IT doesn’t matter.Moreover,he made his suggestion that reduce investment costs,be a follower not a leader,and concern about the risks not the opportunities. Carr raised two main questions,one is about the competitive advantages,and whether it can be provided by the development of IT or not;the other is what attitude should be kept when people invest on IT ,and how to look at the development of IT.In addition,there are some issues worthy of reflection in the article,for example,the criticism of the private technology.An important point in the article...

...Casablanca is a film adaptation of Everybody Come to Rick’s and it is an immediate success after the release. Max Steiner’s music is a hero of the movie as it holds an important role in the entire movie and also helps reinforce Rick’s character. What is more significant in Casablanca is the source music. Source music is basically music that is in the film and can be heard by the characters themselves; it is part of the fictional setting. Other than “Knock on the Wood,” which is written exclusively for the film, every other music that appears in Casablanca is borrowed and they are mostly American popular music. In Casablanca, source music helps to distinguish or pinpoint a scene. For example, American popular music is played when a scene is taking place in Rick’s Cafe but when a scene is happening at The Blue Parrot Cafe, Arabian music can be heard. "Marseillaise” is also played when there is a shift of setting to Paris. Source music also introduces the theme for this film. The song “As Time Goes By” is both the love theme for Rick and Ilsa and source music that is played in the background for many scenes. There is a part where Rick has a flashback to Paris and “As Time Goes By” is played by Sam on the piano. In addition to that, Sam’s singing can be heard during the flashback as well. In the same scene, Sam’s piano-playing reappears after the flashback. Source music is also used to complement the characters or moods. Since Casablanca is set during the time of war, cheerful American...

...In the film The Birth of a Nation, musical adaptations, arrangements of famous melodies, and newly composed music are the three basic types of music heard. Some of the classical works are used in dramatic scenes like the ride of the KKK, where “Ride of the Valkyries” can be heard. For arrangements, the film features tunes like “Maryland, My Maryland” and “Dixie.” One of the newly composed music in the film include “The Perfect Song” which is the film’s love theme. 2) What is the role of source music in Casablanca? (10 points) The main purpose of source music in Casablanca was to portray the emotions of the characters. A lot of these music were meant to have meanings or symbols, like “La Marseillaise” which is the French national anthem that is meant to represent the Allies during WWII. This happens in the Rick’s Café scene when German soldiers were shown singing the Nazi anthem and the others began to sing “La Marseillaise” as a response. Another source music used in Casablanca was “As Time Goes By,” which represents the love between Rick and Ilsa. 3) Discuss the effect of genres on the amount and type of music in a film. Describe a number of different film genres from 1935-1939 and the typical qualities of their music. Mention specific films during this period to illustrate your generalities. (20 points)...

...This movie is a classic for a reason. When one watches Casablanca for the first time, it is aweing and oddly familiar. The reason it seems strangely familiar is Casablanca influenced pop culture in America after its release. We all have heard, “Hears looking at you kid.” Cartoons and mob movies alike have depictions of the beady-eyed fellow named Ugarte. Although, the entire movie is captivating, there is one scene, which stands above the rest. The scene begins with the Germans taking over the piano and singing a German anthem. Then, Laszlo challenges the Germans by getting the band to play “La Marseillaise,” which was the national anthem for France after the French Revolutionary Wars. What happens next is a gripping scene of events. I will...

...Moral Sentiments of Casablanca In The Theory of Moral Sentiments Adam Smith proposes a philosophical framework from which human morality and behavior comes from, one that could explain how in a society of free self-interested individuals that the society would not consume itself in expression of its selfish nature. These selfish tendencies would instead be controlled by sympathy for others and man's own self-love. Members of the society are instead compelled to behave morally out of their own interest. Although some will behave improperly, they will be in the minority, while the masses will, from either lack of ability or fear of the repercussions, act in a manner that preserves the system. The basis for this system emerges from human sympathy. While we do not experience the lives of others, or directly feel their emotions, it is through our imagination and experience, according to Smith, we are able to feel to some extent what it is like to be somebody else. By imagining what it would be like for ourselves to be in their situation we mirror their feelings. Their sadness, and happiness, failure and success in a small way become our own. Because the outcomes of the lives of others have an effect on ourselves we gain an interest in their fortune. If we are made sad by the poor circumstance of another we may be compelled to aid them if doing so might bring ourselves some satisfaction. We are not purely altruistic when we give a helping hand, rather we do so because we receive...

...1. Ben-Hur represented many characteristics typical of the classic film score. This includes broad use of different music, exposure of the full assortment of orchestral colors, credits moods during the opening title and formations of principal themes. Also, there were musical support for dramatic moods, settings, characters and action, and unity through leitmotifs and thematic transformation. Rozsa exploited a strong brass section, organ, and complete substantial orchestral medley in order to demonstrate the emotions and different plot events, by expansively using music. In addition, he employed distinct musical ideas that can be related with Roman, Hebrew, and early Christian music by maintaining stylistic uniformity and unity. Leitmotifs were also very important to the movie. Various leitmotifs and themes in the movie were displayed to give characters insight. During the scenes of “The Fall of the House of Hur,” the hate theme appears when Ben-Hur chose to protect his Jewish friends by not backstabbing them by going along with Messala’s ambitions. The Hate theme foreshadowed a twist of fate when Ben-Hur opposed Messala. It was inserted in the 2nd and 3rd measures in the Roman march for Gratus, and was reiterated repeatedly. This became the prominent theme after the accident. Another important theme was Christ’s theme. Christ’s theme involved Jesus, and during Ben Hur’s desert march, music is played to reflect his feeling of distressed and torture. But, when Christ is introduced...

...Andrea Carrion 07/17/2015 Second Film Scene Analysis ‘Casablanca’ Casablanca (1942) is a melodramatic film, which was directed by Michael Curtiz. The film mixes many different topics like love, politics and war. I find it to be a very interesting and amazing film, also I love the fact that it’s still in black & white. This story takes place during World War II in Casablanca, Morocco. During that time the French controlled Casablanca and in order to get out you needed a passport or permit. The main characters in the story are Rick Blaine, Ilsa Lund, Victor Laszlo, Sam (the pianist) and Captain Renault. Throughout the film the feelings between Ilsa and Rick are portrayed and it helps you understand that at some point they probably were in love, but that love didn’t consumed and the feelings between them are something that remain unsolved. On the other side of the story when Ilsa appears in Casablanca, she’s not with Rick anymore. Instead, she’s married to Victor and this is part of the drama of the story because it’s kind of a love triangle, even though nothing happens between her and Rick. But as audience you can still get the fact that they still have feelings for each other, for example when she tells Sam “Play it Sam, play our song” and at some other point she thinks about letting go Victor to stay in Casablanca with Rick. The final scene of Casablanca is the key to the melodrama in the movie, here you can finally see what happened between Ilsa and Rick and...

...almost like ‘Adaptive’ but could only borrow melodies. The last original score during this era was “newly composed material, which basically implies that music was made specifically for the film. The film ‘The Birth of a Nation’ is a film that obtained all three original scores. An example of “adaptive” could be seen in ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ by Richard Wagner, which was used to represent some Ku Klux Klan scenes. ‘Arrangement’ could be seen when the movie took the melody of the popular Christmas song “O Christmas tree” and made it into “Maryland, My Maryland”. The “perfect song” was written by Carl Breil and made specifically to symbolize the innocence and playfulness of the character in the film ‘Elsie’. 2) The role of music in ‘Casablanca’, is huge, because it is used to describe the setting, for example the tunes ‘Marseillaise” and “Die Wacht am Rhein” were used to explain the conflict between Germany and France. Source music, predominantly popular American music was huge in this film and was used to describe ‘Ricks Café’ in America ,whilst Arabian music was used to set the mood for the change of setting in the ‘Blue Parrot Café’ which was in the Middle East. The most notable tune in this film is “As Time Goes By was not composed by...

...Character Analysis: Ryan Bingham Imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing… kind of exhilarating isn’t it? This is the mantra and philosophy of the protagonist in the Oscar nominated film, “Up In The Air.” Effectively, he has constructed a life for himself where ever morning, he does wake up with nothing. He has deluded himself into thinking that this is the life he wants, so much so that he even gives motivational speeches about the merits of his way of life. He is free of the weight of family, friends, a home, or any possessions other than the elite status cards he has earned at hotels and airlines across the country. However, his confidence in his work and the lifestyle he has chosen is only a veil to cover intrinsic emotional insecurities. Does waking up tomorrow with nothing still sound exhilarating? Superficially, Ryan appears to be a picture of confidence. His entire existence is based around flying and firing people. When your career is traveling the country, putting people through the worst day of their lives, and assuring them that everything is going to be fine, confidence is a very important thing to exude. That is what makes him the best at what he does. When people leave the office having been let go, he instills at least a little hope that a new beginning is coming, and that this could be an opportunity for a new, better life. His work is his whole life. Where the goals of most people in their lives have at least something to do with family and human...

...What we can say for sure about “Casablanca” is that it is no ordinary movie. It is the movie. It has lived across time to win audiences who were born decades after it was made. Sooner or later, usually sees "Casablanca," and then it they fall in love with it. Centuries from now, it is very likely that people will be still watching “Casablanca,” but well this can happen when a movie is immortal. It was my second time seeing “Casablanca” and the experience was not boring at all, in fact I think that the second time was more interesting than the first. Hence, the more you see it the more the whole film gains resonance. The first time we see the film we do not know what the relationship between Ilsa and Rick is, we understand that there was something between the two of them but are not able to fully understand it or to grasp all the nuances of their relationship. However, when you see the movie a second time you know the depth of Ilsa’s and rick’s feelings for each other, and we are able to see the meaning behind every word, glance and of the song “As time goes by”. The film is good when you see it the first time, but the second time you feel part of the film, you feel like Sam, who knows everything and watches from afar. The character of Viktor Lazlo seems very strange to me, particularly if we consider that he is a war hero. I think that his whole character should be more passionate and active. Lazlo not only appear blind to the undercurrent of feelings between Rick and Ilsa...

...Garrett Hinson Critical Reading & Writing Professor Trout Dexter Green, Judy Jones, and the Ideal: A Love Triangle F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Winter Dreams” examines romantic ideals, following the relationship of Dexter Green and Judy Jones from adolescence to adulthood. Dexter and Judy’s mutual idealizations of one another bring them together at first, but ultimately, the unpredictable waxing and waning of these idealizations keep them apart as time goes on. Eventually, Judy becomes the absolute standard of beauty and desirability for Dexter even after he has married another woman and moved on with his life, and while Judy’s idealizations of Dexter are much more sporadic and seemingly-fickle, they are no less intense. When these waves of idealization intersect briefly, Dexter and Judy seem to be truly in love, but when the waves fade or run against each other, only disappointment and bitterness remain. Dexter first meets Judy on the golf course where he works as a caddy. When she arrives for lessons, her beauty and sense of entitlement are fascinating for Dexter, who is compelled to quit his job rather than carry her clubs. While his feelings for her have yet to take romantic shape, Judy immediately compels Dexter to act drastically (and perhaps irrationally), giving up his position as a respected caddy in a seemingly irrational act of defiance. This development is particularly extreme considering Dexter and Judy do not know each other at all at this point in the story...
