Equal Protection And Supreme Court Cases
1,177 wordsBrown v. Board of Education (1954) stands as a turning point in Supreme Court decision making as it erased segregation in schools and set a new standard for civil rights cases. Using stricter notions of scrutiny the Court was able to revitalize the Fourteenth Amendment. However, while this case set new standards in civil rights, the Court has since had a difficult time defining their role in cases regarding racial discrimination. Washington v. Davis (1976) and Mccleskey v. Kemp (1987) are two su...

Type Of Music Beginning Of The Play
740 wordsHuman emotions are something that we seldom find a way to express clearly: from simple hand gestures, to a disgusted face.

The characters, Willy, Linda, Biff, Happy, and Ben, have a certain style of music and instruments portraying them to show the reader what type of emotional person they are. The beginnin...

If the concept represents all the reality of things, the reali...

Sings An Aria Starts Out In Duple Meter Rigoletto
795 wordsI attended the opera Rigoletto at the New York State Theater. Rigoletto was composed by Giuseppe Verdi and it was first performed in 1851, during the Romantic period. Act I of Rigoletto starts out in duple meter and sounds very dramatic, as if something dark and mysterious is going to happen. I think the dynamics play a role in this mood because of the constant changing from loud to soft. This act starts with an overture since the beginning is instrumental. All of a sudden, still in duple meter,...
