Notes of three poems

The Every Day Enchantment of Music
The poem talks about the feeling about music of the author and how he loves music. The poem does not have a certain rhyme pattern. The poem has a lot of metaphor, for example, "Then the music was polished until it became the memory of a night in Venice when tears of the sea fell from the Bridge of Sighs" .  Moreover, the author keeps repeating Venice which is the city of music, I think it is related with author's own experience.
Mother to Son
As the title says, this is a poem that a mother writes for her son. The author uses metaphor to compare life and crystal stair. She talks about how tough life would be, but "life for me ain’t been no crystal stair". I think the author tries to tell her son that no matter how tough life is, do not give up and do not give up hope.
I, too
For me, this poem is talking about a black person who is strong and independent. The author uses simple languages to fight back racist. There is not any metaphor, but the author uses a life situation to show how strong he is, and how to fight back when people come across the situation.

Monologue Review

                                                We have done our little monologue acting through last few week，everyone‘s wonderful and it makes stressful. Anyway，for my acting，the boy named Austin knocks head of school’s door，I would like to say there is something I‘m quit satisfied，but also there is something I think I can prove. First，I’m very glad that can learn something from classmates，everyone has their characteristics when they are performing，I really have stolen some from them. I learnt how to focus  on details and sometimes a little action or expression can effect the character you are performing. Moreover， I learnt how to use breath to create different levels of the character I‘m performing.  Moreover, when I was acting Austin I used a lot of pause to show that the character is nervous, from the feedback of people, I learnt how to change the paus...

Sound in theatre

The sound  designer is in charge of anything that is heard during the production. This includes life or recorded music and  sound  effects as well as the vocal projection of the actors, both speaking and singing. A bit History Around 3000BC, China and India accompanied their theatrical productions with incorporated music and sound, and we know of examples of sound used throughout the history of theatre. In Greek tragedies and comedies the productions call for storms, earthquakes, and thunder when gods appear. There is an extensive history of the machinery that was used scenically; and even though there are only a few mentions of it, there were also uses of machinery in place for the few sound effects they needed. In the Roman theatre, Heron of Alexandria invented the thunder machine using brass balls that would drop onto dried hides arranged like a kettledrum, and the wind machine with fabric draped over the rotating wheel. In 1913, Italian Futurist composer Luigi ...

FInal Draft

LET’s Drink a Case of You “A Case Of You” as a song which has been very popular since 1971 has several interesting point to analysis and people have different adaptations within the text. Most of people think that the song talks about all the missing the author has to her lost husband.  It seems to me, the text tries to prove how much the author misses her country and loves her country. Joni Mitchell is a Canadian singer and songwriter. She quotes the famous Shakespeare line “ I am as constant as a northern star” on the first stanza of the song. It is spoke by by Caesar to his conspirators right before they assassinate him. I think it shows the constant heart of the author that she loves her country deeply and her heart will never be moved.  Moreover, following the text, the author states that “ I drew a map of Canada Oh, Canada” . It shows how much the author misses her home country especially she writes “ And I sketched your face on it twice” following tightly. “ tw...
