Violence In Rap Music
.... song titles ranging from "F*ck Tha Police" to "Gangsta, gangsta" caused the FBI and the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) to investigate them. Hopping on the anti-gangsta rap bandwagon politicians began to show interest in the rap industry, but not in a positive way. Hip-hop wasn’t a new form of music in 1989, in fact it started in 1982 with Run DMC, but nobody was ready for this form. The police and politicians didn’t like what N.W.A was saying in their lyrics, but all of the things they w .....

Violins
.... them at a right angle near the bridge.
Among the prized characteristics of the violin are its singing tone and its potential to play rapid, brilliant figurations as well as lyrical melodies. Violinists can also create special effects by means of the following techniques: pizzicato, plucking the strings; tremolo, moving the bow rapidly back and forth on a string; sul ponticello, playing with the bow extremely close to the bridge to produce a thin, glassy sound; col legno, playing with the wooden pa .....

Legends also say that Leda died of shame for her daughter Helen. As an aside, Castor and Polydeuces were also known as Castor and Pollux, the twins of Gemini.

Wallstreet, Movie
.... the name “Gekko”) corporate millionaire. He is the embodiment of the popular idea of “something for nothing.” Throughout the movie, he says such things as “if something’s worth doing it’s worth doing for money” and “greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.” He has everything he could possible want--wife, family, estate, pool, limousine, priceless art objects--and yet, he seems unhappy. He represents the 80s of an insatiable desire to have more. Money to him is nothing; it is merely .....

West Side Story
.... Romeo and Juliet-like romance begins.
Although the doomed Romeo and Juliet plot was rather predictable, the choreography and songs, which I think were the main reasons why this film won Best Picture, were not. I never knew when the actors were going to start singing and dancing, which added a delightful element of mystery to the film. The directors and cinematographer, Daniel L. Fapp, worked together to change the way musicals were traditionally shot. Instead of using traditional long shots, they .....

What Is Heavy Metal
.... a member can cause a loss of harmony. Thus harmony involves pleasure, beauty, and coordination.
In contrast to classical music, let us now analyze Heavy Metal in respect to harmony. A former singer and bass player in the a band called Blue Cheer, Dick Peterson points out “We had a place in forming that heavy-metal sound. Although I’m not saying we knew what we were doing,’ cuse we didn’t. All we knew was we wanted more power [in the sound]”(Walser 9). Heavy metal employs different kinds of rhythms, .....

What Is Art ?
.... can also go bad, for instance, the misinterpretation of Marxist theories led to the regime of suffering and terror we know as Communism. Art, as Tolstoy has described, is infectious, sincere and clear, qualities that make it extremely accessible to the masses, and given its infectious nature, art as a form of expression and communication can fuel changes or destroy whole societies.
"The experience of art is more easily degraded..." (book pg.199) says Murdoch in her essay "The Sovereignty of Good .....

It was the main purpose of this speech, to remind Athenians what their loved ones had been dying for in the battles with Sparta. Pericles wanted to instill national pride in the city along with a zest to fight for Athens and fight for .....

In both movies the hero’s were introduced without giving much information on there past. This is a characteristic of movie hero .....

Who Was The Bard
.... who supposedly wrote some of the greatest literary works in existence. In many documents, it is stated as a fact that he went to grammar school at an early age because of his father's status. Shakespearites claim that Shakespeare is the author of the works because there are several excerpts from the plays and poems in Latin that match text recited by schoolboys. Unfortunately, according to many historians, he was taken out of school because of financial problems in the family. If this is so, he could .....
