Swing Era Jazz Musicians
1,432 words
Jazz Jazz is a type of music developed by black
Americans about 1900 and possessing an
identifiable history and describable stylistic
evolution. It is rooted in the mingled musical
traditions of American blacks. More black
musicians saw jazz for the first time a
profession. Since its beginnings jazz has branched
out into so many styles that no single description
fits all of them with total accuracy. Performers
of jazz improvise within the conventions of their
chosen style. Improvisation gave jaz...

... reminds the Morrisons style of switching from
fragmented phrases to run-on, standard and
complete sentences. In the same manner, jazz music
can be different in its moods, structure, and
sounding. Moreover, it seems that the most
important idea of jazz is to surprise listeners,
to exceed their expectations, to be experimental,
rhythmic and harmonic. Morrison, having a very
good feeling for the requirements jazz poses on
all its imitators, tries to reach the same effect

very essence of money creates an urge of human
nature to obtain it, and have an excess of it.
Fame and money go hand in hand; if you have one,
you have the other. One also must understand that
money equals power; people aspire to money. When
people come into wealth and begin rising to the

their personal values. Do they believe this is for

Joe Trace Black Women Feel
583 words
The Tone of Jazz The tone of a literary work can
be described as the writers attitude toward his or
her subject. In Jazz, Toni Morrison seems to
portray her characters in a serious and even at
times depressing manner. She is able to describe
these morose characters through her poignant use
of style. Jazz is written in an un formal manner,
i. e. , lacking correct grammatical structure in
many cases. Many sentences are left in a stream of
consciousness prose, which does wonders to bring
forth her ...

Mistakes He Made Pip Learned Life

Morals play an important part in everyday life.
Morals are lessons taught by exhibiting goodness
or correctness of character and behavior. I
believe that the purpose for Pip to tell his story
of Great Expectations was for it to be used as a
moral guide for people to follow. It was a way for
Pip to show the readers about moral maturation,
how people change, and to warn them about money,
love, and what really matters. In Dickens novel,
Great Expectations, the main character Pip
undergoes a constan...

he steals from his sister to feed and free his

Plot Humor Murder
291 words
In using the secondary or supporting actors for
comic relief, Hitchcock colorfully rounds out the
plot atmosphere and provides some added importance
to them instead of using them as cardboard cutouts
(as happens in most films). The humor gives the
viewer a temporary break from concentration on the
plot and other elements. But it also
simultaneously enhances significant points of
these elements from an alternate angle. That is,
Hitchcock's humor will have the attentive viewer

Collective Bargaining Agreement Salary Cap

The game of professional football in America
began, not with a single person s conception but
rather as a gradual evolution. From soccer to
rugby, to rugby- football, and finally to football
(Camp 1). In the year 1823, according to record, a
student at rugby school (William Webb Ellis)
picked up the soccer ball during a game and ran
with it. This action was strictly forbidden by the
rules, but it shed some light for new ideas to
come forth (Ask 1). Over the years, independent
thinking Americans ...
