...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.

(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.

...and then started all over again. Instantaneously a parade was underway and it has been going on ever since. There were soldiers from every nation participating in the war – except Germany. All the national anthems of the allies were played at the parade and the crowds, which were large, cheered, but it was all very solemn. The streets are crowded and all traffic is held up. This is a moment that will never be replicated. Not even a motion picture of the masses can capture the expression or the sound of joy that the people are creating. Today, Paris is the center of the world. There is nowhere I would be rather than where I am today, Ma. Home with you and the rest of the family would be pleasant, and I will head back home soon, I promise, but Paris and France is free after four years and 3 months of conflict. The souls of these French people have solely bursted with delight, and it is spreading. Everyone feels united. It is difficult to purchase a flag in Paris currently. It appears that everyone has one and the old streets are one compact mass of colors with flags from all the allied nations. Paris, that majestic old city, that has been shadowy for so long, is now shining again. An American band has come together outside, and they are playing our national anthem. It is magnificent that the war is over. I can imagine the entire world is exultant. But nowhere on earth is there a celebration as here in Paris. I only hope and pray that the soldiers who died in the war...

...Anthem: The Process of Liberation Many years ago, I read my first book by Ayn Rand, Anthem. I completed the book in about four hours. At the time, I was not mature enough to fully appreciate Anthem's powerful symbolism. My attitude as I read the beginning of the book was one of indifference and confusion, maturing only later into concern and vigorous interest. This experience began a new phase in my intellectual development that soon led me to read Atlas Shrugged. I then started on Ayn Rand's non-fictional works. My understanding of Rand's philosophical system, however, came piece by piece. There was no one instant of recognition, no single ``aha.'' Until recently, I was not fully aware that I had been affected so deeply. My progress was step-by-step and I had never looked all the way back. As I began to read Anthem for a second time, I found myself in acute pain, even at the first paragraph. I continued to read it feeling much as a person would when touring a concentration camp, for, in effect, that was exactly what I was doing. There was not one hint of levity in my mood; I do not even recall breathing. I was truly looking all the way back. At the end of chapter nine, when Equality 7-2521 is alone, in the most profound sense of the word, with his Golden One, she says slowly, ``We are one ... alone ... and only ... and we love you who are one ... alone ... and only,'' I feared I could tolerate the book no longer. I had finally...

...There is a variety of ways and perspectives on viewing sin. In the story of Anthem by Ayn Rand, Equality 7-2521 is able to gain his freedom and to get his knowledge during that time. Ayn Rand also compares her book to the story of Adam and Eve. The main characters are similar but they are in so many ways different. Through her comparisons on both stories she shows that Equality has the liberty to gain freedom and Adam loses all his privilege due to sinning. Ayn Rand shows through 'sin' is a way of earning a lesson and gaining knowledge. Equality breaks laws to discover that they are hiding information from society. He knew he was not free within the council rules. (Rand. pgs 18-19) Although with Adam things are different. Freedom was his since he was created by God. (Genesis 1-2) This knowledge begins to make him realize that he was just one. Himself. He was not a unite or better yet a We. This reveals that your sin can help you gain the knowledge that you need to have to realize from right and wrong. Equality has so many rules to follow. He is not available to write, he must not speak of the Unmentionable times, he must call himself We, he must do the job the council has supply him with. (Rand. pgs 17 - 105) From all those rules he has broken nearly all of them and which has gave him to suffer bad consequences. Adam only needs to obey one command. (Genesis 3:11) From breaking that one command he has lost everything. He was lead on from an outside source. If he did not listen...

...Anthem Essay Christian Louis Lange states, “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.” The Council of Scholars in the novel Anthem lives to believe technology is dangerous. Anthem is by Ayn Rand, Equality 7-2521 is a different in his collectivist society. He overcomes and creates a new invention that no one has ever thought about before. He breaks away from the society and forms his own based on a new line of technology. Technology was looked down upon in the society because it was not used in a good way in the war before the times of the Great Rebirth. In Anthem technology is viewed poorly and as a destruction to society. In the book, “But we must never speak of the times before the Great Rebirth, else we are sentenced to three years in the Palace of Corrective Detention”(Rand 19). This shows the society will not not talk about the times before the Great Rebirth at all. It is important because it shows the war times must have scared the government greatly. This makes the government unwilling to changes and new ideas that relate to those times. Also, “ But terror struck the men of the Council. They lept to their feet, they ran from the table, and they stood pressed against the wall, huddled together, seeking the warmth of one another’s bodies to give them courage” (Rand 70). This now shows how the Council reacted to Equality’s invention due to their experiences. This is important because the fear of technology advancement frightens them very much due to the...

...The journey from being a teenager to adulthood is almost universal. In the novella Anthem, by Ayn Rand, Equality 7-2521's journey was just like any other. Equality spent is whole life finding his identity, he was controlled, and he conformed to those around him. Today, identity plays a major role in the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Your identity is who you are. Equality did not know himself as an individual. He only knew his brothers and him as being one person. We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever." (1.8) In Anthem, individuals have no identity of their own. They are not allowed to act as individuals, or to think of themselves as unique. Instead, the only real identity they have is the group identity, “WE”. Teenagers do not have much control over their lives. Someone is in control and his or her lives revolve around a schedule. “ We arose when the big bell rang in the tower and we went to our beds when it rang again.” (1.5) Just like equality, teenagers live on a schedule. Every morning they get up, get ready for school, go to school, do homework and participate in extra curricular activities then do it all over again the next morning. Conformity is a struggle that most teens face during their transition to adulthood. Equality faced conformity throughout the whole novella. “ We strive to be like all our brother men, for all men must be alike.” (1.7). In Equality's society, everyone must be alike...

...collective. The book Anthem by Ayn Rand demonstrates what a world would be like where there is true “equality”. All the power is for the collective. At the end of the book after Equality, the main character, runs away from the existing society, he talks about designing a new society where all the power is given to the individual. The idea of a society revolving entirely around the individual can be interpreted as positive or negative. The end of Anthem had several positive outcomes. Among these were Equality’s discovery of new knowledge and the creation of a society based on individualism. Throughout the book, the...

...David Karpe 8/9/11 English 10H Ms. Metrakos Anthem take-home essay Is enslaving a person’s body the way to control them? Not only do you have to enslave the person’s body but you must also control their mind and thoughts. If you can control their thought you then have full influence over them. This is how the leaders or “council” in Anthem fully control all the people, they: force people to think a certain way, the people had never seen the outside world or have heard of any other way to live, and people are very used to this type of society and living this way. There may be pro and cons to upholding a society this way, but its like owning a car for thirty years, sure for the first couple years it’s great to drive and works very well but eventually its rusts and gets old and then it’s time to buy a new one. It has gone too far with the complete mind control. People should be free willed and have the ability to think for themselves. To fully control a person, the council must not only enslave their bodies but also destroy his mind. One way the leaders of the council seek to accomplish this is by forcing people to think a certain way. The council decides what is best for the people and enforces those ideas, and the people are forced to live that way. They are told to obey or they will be...

...In our society, the internet is open to everyone, people can gather information from any website and use it for their own advantages.We have the freedom to use the internet to research a array of different things. If that privilege suddenly got taken away, how would that affect the people in our society? In the novella, Anthem, the technology is simplistic, the only “new” technology they have is candles and glass. The government also restricts the development of inventions, only the World Council can approve what gets passed. In Anthem, the society chooses to limit technology because the World Council does not want anyone to think for themselves, by doing this, no one can be an individual. This suggests that science and technology limit all individual thought. The World Council restricts the development of technology by requiring the approval of the ideas of the scholars. When discussing Equality 7-2521’s new technology, Harmony 9-2642, who is part of the World Council, reiterated to him, “The candle is a great boon to...

...newcomer, memories flooded our mind of the 43 years we have held this position of factory manager. He is slow. He is smart, we think knowing that regardless of how much work is done, the pay will remain the same. As a result of this, motivation is lost, dreams are crushed, and aspirations fade away. The sense of individualism is forgotten, as the word “I” has no meaning, it is erased from dictionaries and brainwashed from minds. Ego is lost. This collectivist society along with its impact on a person’s thoughts is portrayed in the works, Anthem and “Soul of a Collectivist” by Ayn Rand. Through reading the novel, the text made me realize if in the future our civilization would be similar to what it portrayed in Rand’s works. Inspiring me to discuss how ruler of the civilization justified their way of ruling, how civilizations today are slowly turning into a collectivist society, and my thoughts and reflections on Anthem and “Soul of a Collectivist”.

...We all perceive freedom in our own way and some twist and turn what true freedom is. In anthem we see that there society has close to no freedom and is one of an oppressing world. In the book we see that only after equality leaves the city does he obtain real freedom. In the book anthem Ayn Rand uses a future from which their is no freedom, near to no happiness and not a good feeling of people getting along. In the time period that takes place thousands of years in the future the world has hit a reset where their main source of light comes from candles and torches. Equality will be the only one to get out and ever obtain what the rest of them don't have. In chapter 8 when equality laughs when he remembers he is the “the darned” (I do not wish to swear even when I write), but we end up to seeing that he is free is bound by no man to be told what to do. Equality knows truly of happiness and truth because of what his society did to him and showed him....

...Anthem Essay In literature we can pull a deeper meaning from characters and what they say in the book. In order to understand these things you have to read between the lines and delve deep into what the author is really trying to say. It is important that you really understand the true meaning of the book so you can truly understand the whole point of the book. I am going to try and get the true meaning out of these three quotes and tell you what they mean to me. “To be free, a man must be free of his brothers.” To me this quote means that we can be influenced and learn from other people but we shouldn’t be exactly like them and agree with everything they say. We need to have our own original thoughts in order to be our own person. Just being able to think for ourselves and understanding who we truly are and why we are here will make us truly happy. “It is my mind which thinks, and the judgment of my mind is the only searchlight that can find the truth” know what is right and runs away in to the uncharted forest. An example of this in the book would be that equality 7-2521 invents a light bulb, and takes it to the world house of scholars. They reject his idea and he runs away into the uncharted forest because he knows his invention is not useless. He finds a home there from “the unmentionable times” and lives in it with the golden one. This is a good example because it shows that if you do what you know is right then you will always be rewarded for and live a happier life...

...2nd hour. 1/23/11 Honors 9 Taking over, one step at a time. The brainwashed society that Equality spent his life in, headed down hill, in one simple action, with a strong result of an outcome. Equality had been taught to ask no questions about anything that took place and everything happened for a reason. They feared their brothers would not feel the same way and automatically became dissatisfactory. No one person could talk to their brothers on how they were currently feeling about the present conversation, because it categorize as something out of the ordinary. The novella, Anthem, written by Ayn Rand, discussed all of those issues and more. All of the people get specifically told they think the exact same way because they equally symbolize the same person. To brainwash someone completely, you eliminate all conversations between people. You tell them repeatedly the scholars know every wonder of the world. But most importantly you have to take control of their mind, the correct way, with all of the exact on techniques. In order to control a man, you have to brainwash them through methods of manipulation. In the blank minded humans of the society presented in this novella, a casual conversation, never took place. The incorrect thing to do was tell someone how you felt. According to the rules, everyone felt the same. So Equality never told anyone how he felt about a situation. In his writing, he wrote, “it is a sin to think words no others think and put them...
