...For this assignment I have chosen “Here Comes the Sun” sung by George Harrison, a member of the Beatles, that was released in 1969. The song not only makes me happy, but gives me hope when I am having a rough week. As I am British, it also makes me proud and miss home and my family. However, this assignment is not to describe by I like this piece of music, it is to explain how it makes the listeners feel a certain way. I will do this by discussing what affects repetitions and other such musical gestures. These features are what makes one feel a specific emotion or mood and I will explain how this is possible by using John Walter Hill’s work and Johann Matheson’s The Complete Capellmeister. This song comes across as joyful to the listener. As...

...Abstract Learning and researching about my culture background has given me the purpose of who I am and where I want to go in life. Everything to the Navajo is very sacred and interrelated. Being a Native American of the Navajo tribe, I have identified my clanship; I have a purpose on this beautiful spiritual journey on this corn pollen road. Spiritual Journey In our way of life, the Navajo way of living, we have to know where we come from and where we are going in life. The first time I had ever heard of the Hero Twins story was from a medicine man. Long ago, a woman named changing woman had given birth to twins. During the day, they would play outside of their Hogan, with their mother, changing woman, watching over them to make sure they were safe from the monsters. One day, one of the monsters wanted changing woman for himself because he thought she was childless and went to their home, changing woman quickly hid her twins. When the monster asked “whose footprints are these”? Changing woman lied saying she made them herself, as she made prints with her hand and fingers, saying she is very lonely and wanted to make it look like someone has been coming to visit. As the hero twins got older and wiser, they started asking their mother who their father was. Changing woman kept saying you have no father. Eventually, changing woman finally gave in and told them if you really want to know who your father is, you must travel east to find your father...

...The American Sun: The African Immigrant Experience I remember the day. I remember the day that I came to America. On that spring day, I remember getting off the plane in New York City with my children. It was a sunny day. I remember the African sun in great detail, but for some reason, the sun was much bigger and brighter in United States. You would think it would be just the opposite coming to a northern climate, but the sun seemed, in fact, much bigger and brighter. We had made it. What an unbelievable adventure, but we had finally made it to the United States. The airport seemed like a hive of honeybees buzzing about in hurried chaos. I told my children, “Stay together. We have to keep an eye out for Aunt Emmy. She will be picking us up.” My kids were so young, all they did was look and laugh in their playful way. They had no idea of the significance of our trip. They...

...important analogy comes to sight; the analogy of the sun. Many questions regarding this analogy have been orbiting the minds of great thinkers, one being whether or not the analogy makes any sense. The obvious answer is yes, it does make sense, but before we dive into this topic, a proper explanation of the allegory of the sun is needed. The origins of the allegory comes from a conversation between Socrates and Glaucon, Plato’s older brother. Within this discussion, Socrates brings forth the idea that the sun represents the good, and that the sun is God-like. It is further explained that the sun “makes our sight see best and visible things best seen.” (Reeve & Miller 199) Distinguished facts about the sun and the good then come into view, as Socrates states even though sight and the light are thought to be like the sun, they are not quite the same as the sun. Furthermore, the sun “not only gives visible things the power to be seen, but also provides for their coming-to-be, growth, and nourishment… existence and being are also due to it.” (Reeve & Miller 200) Socrates believes that all things come into existence due to the sun/the good, but not only does it make everything visible, it also makes everything grow. With a brief summary of the allegory of the sun in mind, it is easy to suggest that this allegory makes perfect sense, and that in fact the sun/the good is being personified as Helios, giving the interpretation that the sun is God. While the sun represents the...

...has yet to be found, there are many theories that point to the exact same thing. Most of them, have much to do with the factor of the sun. The symptoms of seasonal affective disorder vary from mild depression to suicidal thoughts, with almost everything imaginable in between (Stein, page 2). Although it hasn’t been established what the exact cause of seasonal affective disorder, there is a wide range of theories that exist. Although Seasonal Affective Disorder has roots going all the way back to 1845, it was not officially classified until the psychiatrist Norman E. Rosenthal noticed that a lot of his cases for depression had occurred only during the months of winter(Waltz, page 1). When he published his articles in The Washington Post, he received thousands of letters from people all over the country who had the exact same symptoms that he found with his own patients in his private study. He went on to release the book Winter Blues: Seasonal Affective Disorder: What it is and How to Overcome it. As for now, psychiatrists treat patients with seasonal affective disorder the same way the treat patients who are diagnosed with clinical depression. The cause of Seasonal Affective Disorder has never really been determined. The strongest theory that has the most support is that the disorder is directly related to the sun. Well, the deprivation of the sun. When Dr. Norman E....

You would think Black Elk had been studying the first chapter of Ecclesiastes, except for one fact: for centuries, wise men and women in different nations and cultures have been pondering the mysteries of the "circles" of human life. Whenever you use phrases like "life cycle," or "the wheel of fortune," or "come full circle," you are joining Solomon and Black Elk and a host of others in taking a cyclical view of life and nature. Ecclesiastes 1:6 You would think Black Elk had been studying the first chapter of Ecclesiastes, except for one fact: for centuries, wise men and women in different nations and cultures have been pondering the mysteries of the "circles" of human life. Whenever you use phrases like "life cycle," or "the wheel of fortune," or "come full circle," you are joining Solomon and Black Elk and a host of others in taking a cyclical view of life and nature. (from The Bible Exposition Commentary: Old Testament © 2001-2004 by Warren W. Wiersbe. All rights reserved.) But this "cyclical" view of life was a burden to Solomon. For if life is only part of a great cycle over which we have no control, is life worth living? If this cycle is repeated season after season, century after century, why are we unable to understand it and explain it? Solomon pondered these questions as he looked at the cycle of life "under the sun," and he came to three bleak...

...JOHN DONNE – THE SUN RISING – NOTES Again, an aubade like the Good Morrow, hence two poems should be studied together. The Sunne Rising belongs to John Donne’s Songs and Sonnets. It is a companion poem to The Good-morrow and should be studied alongside it. Both poems share the central conceit that the lover's world is a microcosm excluding all outside demands or realities. In fact, the world outside barely exists. The tone of the two poems is similar, too, being celebratory, idealistic and yet jocular and quite outrageous in the hyperbole. This has come to be one of Donne's best known love poems. The first stanza The whole of The Sunne Rising is a far-fetched apostrophe to the sun, which is personified quite disrespectfully. Donne calls it ‘Busie old foole’ and ‘Sawcy pedantique wretch’. Conventionally, love poetry is aware of the seasons, particularly Spring, and the seasons are, of course, defined by the sun. Donne wants to reverse this. The lovers should define their own seasons and the sun should keep out of the business. Rather, it should do fairly ordinary, trivial things like ‘chide/ Late schoole boyes’ and other people who need to get up in good time. The second stanza Having established in his mockery of the sun the lovers' own timekeeping, Donne then gives the sun a job that would benefit the lovers. The sun can tour the earth and report back if there is anything of value or of royalty that is not already here in the lovers' bedroom, that is to say, in each other...

...Joy always seems to come with a price. This price can be described by one word, darkness. The word and state of darkness is often associated with rough times or evil. Fortunately, darkness and light come hand in hand. Even the darkest place of all is covered in stars. To Earth one star’s light stands out the most. The sun shines its rays in a cycle every day. Light can signify many things. In most cases it is the good, happiness, or stability before the tragedy of life comes. In the novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, the sunlight shown in scenes and the lack of sunlight symbolizes a cycle of optimism before reality strikes in the lives of two characters. Before history can repeat, a present must occur. In the beginning of the...

...ABOUT THE SUN The Sun is our nearest star. Its light and heat make life on Earth possible. When did the Sun form? Scientists calculate the Sun and solar system formed at approximately the same time, 4.55 billion years ago. This is based on the ages of the oldest objects that we have sampled from our solar system, meteorites. How did the Sun form? The solar nebula theory describes how most scientists think the Sun formed. A cloud of hydrogen and helium gas and dust existed in space. It began to compress and eventually gravitational forces pulled the gas and dust together and the cloud collapsed. The collapsing cloud began spinning and flattening into a disk. Much of the material was concentrated in the center of the spinning mass, where compression resulted in a “protosun” of increasing density and temperature. Eventually the heat and pressure increased to the point where nuclear fusion of hydrogen occurred and the Sun ignited. By exploring our universe with tools such as the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have discovered stars in various stages of formation predicted by the solar nebular theory. How much longer will the Sun shine? Scientists predict the Sun will shine for another 7 billion years! They arrive at this estimate by calculating how fast the hydrogen in the Sun's core is being converted to helium. Approximately 37% of the Sun's hydrogen has been used since the time of its formaton, 4.55 billion years ago. (Lang, 1999) How big is the Sun? The Sun's diameter is...

...You're on the side of the road with your best friend on the Fourth of July selling lemonade to any passing bystander. Here comes your favorite part, the fire trucks! The sirens are blaring as loud as ever, but this time for fun, no fires are around and no one is hurt. The fire truck is coming down the street perpendicular to your lemonade stand. The siren is super loud, and very high pitched. As the truck nears, the sound waves shorten and in result, a higher pitch sound. The truck passes and continues to out space between you and it. The sound waves continue to grow and in result, lower pitch sirens! This is similar to Red Shift. On the spectrum, the left(blue) side is the shorter wave lengths. The right(red) side contains the longer wave lengths. Red shift is another way to explain how we know the universe is expanding(and thanks to the Big Bang will continue...

...Sun uses setting, symbolism, and word choice in the play “No Child” to critique the state of schools and the No Child Left Behind Act. The setting was a significant part of the play because it represented the way society viewed these students. The students are viewed as convicts. On a daily basis the students have to go through a thorough search in order to enter the school. The Janitor states, “Seventeen feet below my very own, lay one hundred-thousand-dollar worth of a security system” (p.5). This type of treatment informs the students that society believes that they are criminals. The security offices states, “Girl, girl! Whatcha ti’ink dis is? You can’t go in wifoot goin’ tru da detector open your arms, spear your legs” (p.13). Suns inform the reader on her position regarding this matter.
