...Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen Bohemian Rhapsody is a song by the British rock band Queen and it’s written by Freddie Mercury who is the lead singer. The song consists of six sections: an intro, a ballade, a guitar solo, an opera, hard rock and an outro. The song changes a lot in its style, its tone and its tempo, which is very unusual for rock music. Therefore it’s one of the most known songs even today. After Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991 it became the number one on the charts for five weeks. The intro The song starts with a cappella harmonies and describes confusion between reality and fantasy. When the piano starts Freddie Mercury starts singing “easy come, easy go, little high, little low” which embraces the dreamy atmosphere. By the end of the intro the famous cross handed piano starts in the key of Bb. The ballade The lyrics starts with a guy who’s telling his mom that killed a man with a gun which he truly regrets and by doing so he’s ruined his life. He tells her to move on as if nothing really matters and perhaps he should take charge of his own life. When he mentions that it’s time for him to face to truth and he doesn’t want to die it’s almost as if someone else is going to be responsible for his life. He’s coming clean with the things he’s done in the past. In this section, where he confesses, the music has a kind of sad tune and we can feel how depressed he is. The piano still continues the same pattern throughout the first stanza but with some small changes...

...In the 1997 general election, Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) becomes Britain's Labour prime minister. However, the Queen (Helen Mirren) is slightly wary of Blair and his pledge to modernise Britain, but he promises to respect the Royal Family. Three months later, Diana, Princess of Wales died in a car crash at the Alma Bridge tunnel in Paris. Blair's director of communications, Alastair Campbell (Mark Bazeley), prepares a speech in which Diana was described as "the people's princess". Blair gives his speech the next day and the phrase catches on. Within the next few days after Diana's death, millions of people across London display an outpouring of grief at Buckingham and Kensington Palaces. Meanwhile, the Royal Family are still at their summer estate in Balmoral Castle. Diana's death sparks division among members of the family, in which they observe that since Diana was divorced from her husband, Prince Charles (Alex Jennings) a year earlier, she was no longer a part of the family. Diana's funeral arrangements were thus best left as a private affair of her noble family, the Spencers. Charles argues that the mother of a future king cannot be dismissed so lightly, while the Queen authorises the use of an aircraft of the British Royal Flight to bring Diana's body back to Britain. In London, flowers pile up before the palace railings, which forces the changing of the Queen's guard to use another gate. British tabloids become inflammatory about the lack of a statement from the Royal...

...every turn, no one batted an eye when a teacher entered a classroom. Once I saw a teacher struggle to pronounce foreign-sounding names from the attendance list while a boy in the front row French-kissed a girl wearing skintight turquoise Jordache jeans. In Korea, we wore slippers to keep the school floor clean, but here the walls were covered with graffiti, and some mornings, policemen guarded the gate and checked bags. My consolation was the English as a Second Language class where I could speak Korean with others like me. Yet it did not take me long to realize that the other students and I had little in common. The wealthier Korean immigrants had settled in Westchester or Manhattan, where their children attended private schools. In Queens, most of my E.S.L. classmates came from poor families who had escaped Korea's rigid class hierarchy, one dictated by education level, family background and financial status. Immigration is meant to be the great equalizer, yet it is not easy to eradicate the class divisions of the old country. What I recall, at 13, is an acute awareness of the distance between me and my fellow...

...New York City has a capital budget. The budget includes funds required for city construction, repair projects, and purchases of land buildings, or equipment. Even though the size and the cost of the capital budget is important, the projects funded by this budget will determine how New York will grow in the future. It is important that New Yorkers learn more about our city budget. The planning and the disbursement of funds for capital projects occur over a period of years. In order the capital budge go forward with the Capital Budgets we will need three components.

...Policy Report: Improving Community Boards in New York City Best Practices in Recruitment and Appointment to New York City’s 59 Community Boards Executive Summary Community boards are the most local form of government for residents of New York City. They serve an essential role in our city’s democracy by shaping neighborhood development and advising government on community needs and interests. Between April 1st and May 30th of this year, four new borough presidents and twenty one new city council members, along with their previously elected colleagues, will be making 1,475 appointments to 59 community boards spanning all five boroughs. This is a unique opportunity to evaluate and implement improvements to the recruitment and appointment system. On March 3, 2014, the Committee on Governmental Operations of the New York City Council held a hearing on “Best Practices for Recruitment and Appointments to Community Boards,” which included testimony from New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and Staten Island Borough President James Oddo, as well as community board chairs and district managers from all five boroughs, good government groups and youth advocacy organizations. This report covers three major areas in which community boards require improvement: outreach and recruitment; a standardized and transparent application process; and restoring the public trust by removing the politics...

...and memory work together in order to generate compelling and unexpected insights into the past. Stephen Frears' film The Queen allows the audience to gain unexpected insights about the titular character, and thus gain sympathy for her position. Likewise, The Outsider, a painting by Gordon Bennett, uses his own emotions to impact on his painting, creating a highly personal artwork that provides insights into the Indigenous Australia hardships endured during assimilation polices. Hence it can be seen that history and memory are interconnected and together portray a more cohesive picture of past events. Insights into Queen Elizabeth II's emotions during the aftermath of Diana's death can be gained through observing the interplay between the collective and personal memories of the event. Frears' imagined interpretation of the Queen's vulnerability challenges the public's collective memory of Diana's death. Frears' perspective is immediately depicted in the opening intertextual quote from Shakespeare's Henry IV: "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown". Sympathy is created as Frears suggests the difficulty of the Queen's role of being a leader, a role that she interpreted as having to be stoic and strong. This is supported by Robin Janvrin's confession to Blair, body language and expression secretive: "this public reaction has completely thrown her". The Queen came onto the throne at the age of 27, and it was a role that she had become accustomed to by the time of these events,...

...With The Queen, British director Stephen Frears sheds light on one of England's most misunderstood public figures. The film, set during the week after Princess Di's death in 1997, offers a glimpse into what might have happened behind palace doors, when Queen Elizabeth II was caught between a relentless media frenzy and the desire to protect the royal family. The death of Diana, affectionately referred to as "the people's princess," shook up the country and left legions of grieving fans desperate for someone to blame—the paparazzi came under fire for chasing her before the fatal car accident, and, shortly after, their rage shifted onto the Queen for keeping her grief silent and undetectable. In other words, they wanted their Head of State to radiate a bit more warmth than the nearest refrigerator. The Queen begins with Her Majesty (played with understated perfection by Helen Mirren) discussing politics with the man painting her portrait. The opening credits pop up as she is gazing off to the side, and then, unexpectedly, she stares fearlessly into the camera. It's a perfect introduction to how the movie plays out: honestly, straight-forwardly, and without any sugarcoating. When Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) is elected Prime Minister, his friendly demeanor ("call me Tony") contrasts with the icy exterior of the Queen. Their first meeting, awkward and abrupt, hints that they have different ways of doing business—and their contained oil-and-vinegar dynamic resurfaces following...

...The Queen is an admirable villainous character in “Snow White” because she is determined, cunning, and malicious. The Queen is determined to kill to Snow White no matter what, she proves this because she says: “Snow-white shall die,” cried she, “though it should cost me my own life!” (Grimm 5). This shows that she is determined because she is so set on killing Snow White, that she claims that it shall cost her her life. The Queen is also cunning because she is very clever in her schemes to get rid of Snow White. Knowing that Snow White will not let anyone in because she tries to kill her twice, the Queen says, “Are you afraid of poison?” said the woman, “look here, I will cut the apple in two pieces; you shall have the red side, I will have...
