...playing the tambourine, maracas, and finger cymbal. Both Lennon and McCartney are singing vocals in this song. In contrast, “Love You To” does not even include Lennon, McCartney is not playing any instruments and is just doing harmony vocal, Harrison is doing lead multitracked vocal which is different than what he usually does and what he is doing in “Norwegian Wood” he is also playing the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and the sitar. Starr is playing the tambourine same as he plays in “Norwegian Wood”. There is also a tabla played by an additional musician named Anil Bhagwat and several other unnamed indian musicians that play the sitar and the tambura. II. Discussion of influences or inspirations that are audible in the recordings “Norwegian Wood” definitely has a more similar sound to Bob Dylan, who was one of the Beatles inspirations for several years. Like many of Dylans songs, the main music is acoustic and does not include much fancy instruments. You can hear Lennon and McCartney mimicking the similar singing style that Bob Dylan seems to always have. There was even a point where Lennon was worried that he had “trespassed into Dylan’s territory” and was worried that Dylans song “4th Time Around” was referring to Lennon making similar music to Dylan. The song inhibits soft acoustic sounds similar to Dylan as well as a similar singing style. “Love You To” on the other hand, was inspired by Harrisons first interest in Indian music. Harrison uses the sitar, which is...

...I want my future to look like so that I know that I have, in my opinion, had a successful life. First, I will begin with some of the material items that some people think they need to be successful and why. People that think they need material items to be successful in life probably will not go a day in their life without working and on top of that they will probably end up hating their job. This however will not change their view on what it means to be successful. There is no doubt that they will be happy with the beach house in Florida or the million dollar Lamborghini Maserati, but for what exactly? To be miserable at the job that has gotten you to this point in life. All of that sounds absolutely fantastic, but these people probably do not have kids to support, which however does not sound too bad, but my dad is one of best friends and one day I’d like to be the same way with my children. That is the main reason why I cannot see how someone could be truly happy like this. Now on to my next topic. A...

...When I was One-and-Twenty Summary Our speaker gets some advice from an older, wiser person: don't bank too much on love. Like any young person, he promptly ignores the advice. Did we mention that he's 21? Keep that in mind. It'll be important later. Flash forward: now he's 22. And as it turns out, the advice he got was pretty good. Love hurts. And we're not just quoting that '80s song. Line 1-2 When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, • Uh-oh. Any time a literary work starts out with a wise man's sayings, you just know that they're probably going to be ignored. If we listened to wise advisors, we wouldn't have any stories to tell. And poems are stories, after all. • So, we've got a young whippersnapper and his older mentor. Stay tuned, folks…. Lines 3-6 "Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free." • Well, it turns out that love is worth more than gold. Or, er…the lack of love is worth more than gold. • Don't let the happy tone and snappy rhymes confuse you: this poem is about control. It turns love into an economic calculation, one which allows the "wise man" to balance feelings against more conventional forms of currency (crowns and pounds and guineas are, after all, the big guns of the U.K.'s monetary system). As it turns out, the heart is more valuable than money – which is precisely why the speaker's buddy thinks that it should remain soundly within his control. • Of course, this...

...poem for her ex-lover about the resentment and pain she feels as a result of the negatively described relationship. In ‘Sonnet 43’, however, Barrett Browning writes a heartfelt Petrarchan love sonnet for her fiancée in which she “counts the ways” she loves him. In the way they describe love, there is a drastic contrast between the two poems. Both Barrett Browning and Duffy exaggerate their feelings in the two poems. Duffy presents her feelings of emotional pain as physical pain in her poem 'Quickdraw' as she says that her lover has "wounded" her. She also uses onomatopoeia when she says "blast me through the heart". This emphasises the amount that her lover has hurt her; the word "blast" also creates the image of Duffy's heart being injured by a powerful weapon at the hands of her partner. This idea also links with some of the vocabulary used, such as: "guns", "trigger" and "bullets" which adds to the Wild West theme. Barrett Browning has a different opinion on love as she presents her ideas in 'Sonnet 43'. She is overwhelmed with her love for her fiancé which is conveyed as she repeats the phrase "I love thee" on almost every line throughout the poem. In addition, her overwhelming love is shown through the lack of full stops in the poem which makes her feeling sound rushed and excited. This is a very different outlook in contrast to the violent and negative ideas of 'Quickdraw'. Duffy, unlike Barrett Browning, presents her feelings in her relationship...

...The topic of love is without a doubt the most often written about subject in poetry. Love Poems are easily associated with flowery language and grand sweeping metaphors, to make the subject of the poem seem as flawless and ethereal as humanly possible. However, there are notable subversions to this general rule, as seen in William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130, which employs descriptive metaphors to emphasize how ordinary the speaker’s lover is. Similarly, Theodore Roethke’s Elegy For Jane also utilizes metaphors while mimicking the form of the sonnet to describe his dead student. Additionally, both poems utilize soothing and pleasing sound to give the reader a sense of the emotion that the speaker feels towards the person the poems are written...

...relaxed or peaceful place. For at least five minutes, leave any kind of technology away and just observe your surroundings. For this, I went to a river which I love in Bo. Paso Palmas, Utuado. During those couple of minutes, I saw, heard, felt, and smelled things that I’m normally not used to in my house. The first thing you notice is the coolness and freshness in the area due to the mountains and all the trees. When you’re their you feel that your breathing different air because you basically are. That air is not as contaminated as the one in the city. This helped me relax and concentrate even more on what I had to do. Something I love about coming here, to this river, is all the different bird sounds. With so many species, there are so many different sounds, which all together sound beautiful. Joined to this is the sound of the cold river running, hitting all the rocks and going through your toes. Its such a great feeling. You feel like your getting a natural foot massage. This place is an excellent option for those who enjoy photography. All the trees and plants are so green and healthy. There are different waterfalls which are extremely beautiful. You also see different types of flowers with bees, colorful butterflies, and other insects. Also, you might get to see different families camping in the area. I love this place so much because whether you want a peaceful place for yourself, or somewhere to have some good family fun , it works....

...__________________________________________________________________________ SONNET 130 WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask’d, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. ANALYSIS The renaissance poet worries about finding new ways for expressing the beauty, but also to renew the themes of his works. In this period the poet wants to create a new world of beauty throughout a simple world. An important style of Renaissance Poetry was epic style, and sonnets (Shakespeare).

...In alliteration, the first consonant sound is repeated in several words. A good example is “wide-eyed and wondering while we wait for others to waken”. Alliteration can be fun, as in tongue twisters like: “Kindly kittens knitting mittens keep kazooing in the king's kitchen 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Alice’s aunt ate apples and acorns around August. Becky’s beagle barked and bayed, becoming bothersome for Billy. Carries cat clawed her couch, creating chaos. Dan’s dog dove deep in the dam, drinking dirty water as he dove. Eric’s eagle eats eggs, enjoying each episode of eating. Examples of Alliteration Allusion “I was surprised his nose was not growing like Pinocchio’s.” This refers to the story of Pinocchio, where his nose grew whenever he told a lie. It is from The Adventures of Pinocchio, written by Carlo Collodi. “When she lost her job, she acted like a Scrooge, and refused to buy anything that wasn’t necessary.” Scrooge was an extremely stingy character from Charles Dickens’, A Christmas Carol. “I thought the software would be useful, but it was a Trojan Horse.” This refers to the horse that the Greeks built that contained all the soldiers. It was given as a gift to the enemy during the Trojan War and, once inside the enemy's walls, the soldiers broke out. By using trickery, the Greeks won the war. “He was a real Romeo with the ladies.” Romeo was a character in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, and was very romantic in expressing his love for Juliet. “Chocolate was her Achilles’...

...The song I chose is called, “If you could only see”, by Tonic. It is a love song about man that is constantly in trouble with the law and needs to “run away” before they put him in prison for life. He knows that his girlfriend loves him but he’s confused knowing that he needs to “disappear” but not sure how to go about taking the love of his life with him. She is torn by the idea and has to make a life-changing decision to either go or stay, knowing that if she decides to stay that she risks losing the man she loves, but if she goes she could be living a “Bonnie & Clyde” lifestyle for the rest of her life. The song starts “a cappella” or “monophony” telling the world that “If you could only see the way she loves, maybe you’d understand.” The Tonic is a pianissimo voice with nothing but a rhythm guitar behind him. The “timbre” or tone color, has a harsh stroke and plucking of the strings on his acoustical guitar. The building of emotion and the dynamics is highly intense starting with adagio and building into a vivace pace and continues to crescendo throughout the majority of the song and decrescendo at the very end. At first he sounds calm but the tonality soon turns to anger, tension and frustration. The rhythm is consistent and purposeful with a heavy-hearted feel. The vocalist has raspy and edgy voice that is average in range with a tenor sound and little vibrato. There are many variations of the song including an acoustic trio and a five piece band...
