PINK
I´m not dead vs Funhouse

Pink je moja obľúbená speváčka. Je to terajšia popvá hviezda s drsnejším hlasom, a zároveň veľmi odvážna čo potvrdzujú piesne ako Stupid Girls alebo Dear Mr. President, v ktorom napísala list pre bývalého amerického prezidenta G. Busha. Myslím si, že to nie je ten typ speváčky, ktorá má len pesničky o párty a ako zbaliť chlapa, ale má piesne, z ktorých si vieme niečo zobrať. Potvrdzujú to aj jej posledné albumy I´m not dead a Funhouse, ktoré v nasledujúcich odstavcoch budem porovnávať. I´m not dead je speváčkin štvrtý album vydaný v roku 2006. Recenziu, ktorú som si o tomto albume vybrala je napísaná Barrym Waltersom, ktorý je hudobný kritik pôsobiaci vo viacerých celosvetovo známych časopisoch ako Rolling Stone alebo Spin. V jeho recenzii sme si mohli hned na úvod všimnúť, že porovnal Pink k Madonne, presnejšie ich spoločný talent na posilnenie ich umenia vnútornými konfliktami. Neskôr citátom: “The album is proof that you don't necessarily need to work with rock guys if you want to rock“( album je dôkaz toho, že nie je potrebné pracovať s rockovými producentami, ak chcete pravý rock) načrtol v akom štýle je album vedený.
Autor síce neopísal všetky piesne na albume, ale spravil pesničkový rozbor k najväčším hitom tohto albumu, ku ktorým nepochybne patria piesne ako Stupid Girl, U+Ur hand, Dear Mr. President alebo Leave me Alone. Pesničkový rozbor týchto piesní bol všeobecný: štýl piesne, pocity a krátka charakteristika piesne. Veľmi sa mi páčilo, že autor podporoval svoje argumenty časťou textu piesne, napríklad “... and writes a scathing letter in "Dear Mr. President","You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine!"(... a napísala veľmi kritický list v piesni “Dear Mr. President“, časť textu: “Máš za sebou dlhú cestu od whiskey a kokaínu“).
Môj celkový dojem z tejto recenzie bol taký, že autor je už expert v písani hudobných kritík, mal naštudoavný materiál, vedel o čom píše, a taktoež ani nezabudol spomenúť dlhoročných spolupracovníkov, ktorí sa podielali aj na tomto albume. Z druhej recenzie je jasne vidieť, že neznámy autor nebol ešte tak skúsený ako Barry Walters. Táto recenzia má viacero chýb: autor sa oveľa viac zameral na úspechy, ktoré doteraz Pink za tento album získala, ako na stručnú charakteristiku piesní a nebola zďaleka tak obsiažná ako predchádzajúca recenzia. Na druhej strane, hneď na úvod spomenul hudobné smery, ktoré reprezentujú tento album, je to kombinácia rocku, RnB a popu. Ďalej spomenul to, že tento album je tématický a naráža na rozvod Pink a Careyho Harta. Mnohé piesne sú tým pádom pomalejšie a opisujú reálne pocity speváčky. Ak by som nepoznala albumy, a mám si jeden vybrať, vybrala by som si prvý .Po prečítaní oboch recenzii ma oveľa viac oslovila prvá recenzia staršieho albumu. Bola obsiahlejšia, všeobecne opísala to, čo by v dobrej kritike malo byť. Na druhej recenzii by autor mohol ešte trocha viac popracovať, trocha hlbšie sa do toho zakusnúť. Netvrdím, ale že starší album je lepší.

...1 Student Sample Symbolism in the Golden Movie Beauty and the Beast When one thinks of Beauty and the Beast, pictures may appear of a golden dress, a pink rose, or a Beast outfitted in blue. This brightly colored movie is a favorite for many Disney loving children and adults. In Beauty and the Beast, “the tale as old as time” is depicted through the symbolism of the carefully selected colors as Belle finds her way to the Beast. The town’s people’s attire is dull: bleak browns, greens, and reds; this shows the conformity of the people and the simple mindedness of the town. Belle’s Papa’s green attire shows conformity as well. No matter how hard he tries to break out and be different, he is always sucked back and consumed by the poor provincial town. Then when Belle becomes happier in the castle, she is depicted in the same green because she is conforming to the castle life and ceasing to push back and long to be free. After connecting with Belle, the Beast changes into the same green. This wardrobe change represents the Beast’s desire to be what Belle wants and what he needs to be to break the spell. Gaston, the manly-man antagonist, is shown wearing a bright red shirt with a mustard collar. The mustard is a mock gold; this shows his need to be first, to be royal. He craves the attention he rakes in. The red signifies hostility. The combination of these colors displays his selfish appetite for power. In the Beast’s introduction and throughout the beginning of the movie, he wears...

On Saturday, I got up very early -- at eight. I had a shower and I had breakfast (some orange juice and cookies) and I went to get the wedding present. I gave them an etching by Miquel Barceló. He is a Spanish painter and my cousin and I love him! Then I walked to the hairdresser's. I hate going to the hairdresser's. It hurts! But it was necessary!! (eek!)

Jimmy Herchek Informative Speech

...Through blurry eyes and soft sniffles, Jimmy Herchek fixes his famous sandwiches one last time since opening Herchek, 1050 W. Meeting St., 29 years ago. Deciding to retire after putting in 44 years of labor into convenience stores, Thursday, June 10, Herchek said it was a time for change. Learning the famous egg salad recipe from his mother, Dot Herchek and chicken salad recipe from Gail Gillis, Herchek began fixing sandwiches drawing in large crowds from the community back in 1986. “I thank each and everyone of you for continual support throughout the years and my family for making sacrifices during my weekend work,” Herchek said. Serving the people of Lancaster, Herchek served faithfully behind the lunch counter five days a week from 7:30 to 2 p.m. with the help from his sister in law, Crystal Catoe. Workin for Herchek since age 18, Catoe hustles and bustles alongside Herchek, fixing cold and hot meals, serving those dining in and carrying out. A three-time-a-week regular, for Herchek's delicious chicken salad sandwich and BLT, Tim Boling said he will continue to come after Herchek's departure if the food is the same. “I've known Jimmy since 1973,” Boling said. “He's like an icon leader around here with great food and a nice spirit. I've been coming here for so long, I can remember when this place didn't have tables. And although the store didn't have tables, after Hurricane Hugo hit in the late 1980s, Herchek was the only store after the storm to have power, gas and...

Art Analysis Paper

...Art Analysis Paper The Joan Brown’s “Noel In The Kitchen” is a painting. The medium of this art work is oil on canvas. The technique she used appears to be heavy brush strokes. The size of the painting is very large, approximately 8x5 Ft. It is a representational work, which displays a small child, two dogs and some regular attributes of a household kitchen. The image can be broken down into the few blocks. On the front, there is a little child, assumingly named Noel, reaching the top of the kitchen cabinet. He is surrounded by two dogs, one of them seating and looking away from the boy. Another dog is positioned next to Noel, towering over the child. The second block includes the floor of the room and the kitchen cabinet with dishes on the top. Third part of the image is the wall behind the desk. It appears to be shaded and out of focus. The overall intensity of colors happens to be fading towards the right side of the paining. It gives balance to the image by counterweighing the representative images on the left. The large kitchen cabinet is painted brightly red, immediately focusing viewer’s attention on itself as a center of composition. All figures are placed on the various levels, which provide space effect in relationship to the floor and vertical axis. The floor is painted with clear lines distinction in yellow, black and blue colors. By looking at the painting from some distance, the relationship between shapes is very thin and objects are highly recognizable. However...

Victoria’s Secret Pink: Keeping the Brand Hot

...customers through the introduction of its brand Pink. Pink is a line of “loungewear” (sweatpants, T-shirts, pajamas, bras and panties, pillows and bedding) targeted toward 18-30 year old females. The garments feature comfortable cuts and mostly cotton fabrics in bright colors. New garments are introduced every three or four weeks. The image is one of “cute and playful” versus the more overtly sexy image of the core brand. The case highlights the different promotional approaches that Pink managers are taking in contrast to those of the core brand. This is a lifestyle brand. The Victoria’s Secret chain has been a big driver of financial success for Limited Brands (parent company), and Pink is expected to be a big part of Victoria’s Secret’s sustained growth. Not only does it give the chain a new set of customers, but it brings in customers at a younger age who will then “graduate” up to the Victoria’s Secret core brands. The ethics of the Pink strategy are considered in detail. Discussion Questions 1. Analyze the buyer decision process of a typical Pink customer. Need recognition: This can come from internal stimuli (basic needs such as hunger, thirst, protection) or external stimuli. Considering that people do not purchase fashion brands based on such needs as, “I am cold/naked and need protective covering,” this first step is likely to be based on external stimuli. Note that the factors that influence a potential Pink customer’s recognition of need may also affect...

Clothes Essay

...Clothes essay The short story “Clothes” by Chita Banerjee Divakaruni is about a girl from India, and her cultural transition from India to America, which is symbolized through her clothes. The story is about doing something unexpected? and not knowing what the future is going to bring. The main character is Sumita; she is a well-behaved young woman. She only does what is expected of her, for example she agrees to marry Somesh even though she doesn’t know him and she lets Somesh touch her the very first time the night they spend together even though she doesn’t want to. She never questions her parent’s decisions; she is just greatful for the opportunities she has been given. She will leave her friends, family and former life behind, and travel to a new country, and from that can we see she is a very considerate person. You sense right from the start, that she is girl who loves her family and friends. She values her family’s honor, for example she is against the arranged marriage, but she won’t disrespect her father and the effort he had put into finding her a suitable match. We also see a big consideration from her side, when her friend was turned down three times. Sumita doesn’t rebel against her family, she just goes along with the decisions. The author utilizes color symbolism to express the emotional changes Sumita is going through. The clothes represent both cultures; at first she uses the colors through her Sari’s to keep her connected to her Indian Beliefs. You...

Victori Secret Case Study

...1. Analyze the buyer decision process of a typical pink customer. * Need recognition: Need recognition can either come from internal or external stimuli. The typical pink customer receives need recognition from external stimuli. A lot of the “need” for this product comes from promotional information in advertisements, word of mouth, and from customers’ friends and acquaintances. Consumers receive input from different areas and recognize that they need a cloth items that is fashionable, hip, and trendy. * Information search: This can also be internal or external. Customers can draw from internal sources based on how familiar they are with the brand based on previous experiences. For those familiar with the brand, many will draw and gather information from external sources like advertising, displays, and sales people. * Evaluation of alternatives: It is difficult to assess the “typical” pink customer because people draw alternatives in so many different ways. Customers consistently evaluate alternatives in a set series of ways and criteria. Customers go shopping according to what they are looking for, for example one looking for training pants would not buy a fashionable pair of yoga pants, they would buy the kind used for fitness. Most pink customers look for clothes that are comfortable, fashionable, casual, but dress enough to wear to class and out shopping but that are reasonably priced. Pink customers may evaluate other brands based on the criteria stated and...

Beetroot Practical

...You and your students may be familiar with the observation that colour leaks out of beetroot when it is cooked. Many cookbooks suggest that beetroot should be cooked with their outer skins on, and with a minimum amount trimmed from the top (by the leaves) and tail (by the taproot) to reduce the release of beet colour leaking into the water. This procedure lends itself to detailed evaluation, and provides an opportunity to discuss how you would like students to write up a practical. Cutting the cores to size and placing in water baths takes only a few minutes. During the thirty minutes heating (or chilling) time, you can discuss writing up or evaluating the procedure. If you have access to only one colorimeter, one group could gather quantitative results while the others gather subjective, qualitative information. The number of beetroot cores used will depend on the number of water baths available. Students can work individually or in pairs. To save time, reduce the number of temperatures used and collate results to provide repeats at each temperature.
