Here, in these pictures fr om an evening section o.fEnglish I 02, students from all over the world are reading, together, a research paper published in an earlier edition o.f the Anthology�·as a model.for writing research-based papers of their own. Th e analysis of a student-written text in this fo rmat is invaluable fo r providing direction and inspiring confidence. The Harper Anthology has served in this capacity for twenty years, now, with countless students in Harper classrooms having read the work of hundreds of other Harper students whose papers have graced these pages. Th is latest edition of the Anthology should serve well in continuing this tradition o.fguidance, as it fe atures numerous essays and papers fr om English composition courses, as well as a fe w fr om outside of the English discipline, and a number of papers from Harpers Learning Communities program. Th e richness and diversity of academic study at Harper is evident in this volume, fe aturing papers on ofi-read "ancients" such as Shakespeare and Aristotle, but also incorporating a paper about a comic book series (p. 7 I); an account of a Harper Honors Program trip to Japan (p. 9); an analysis of a novel by a Nigerian author (p. I 44); and an insightful review of Israeli-Palestinian relations (p. 76). Also, the various entries for the "Harper Students on Wr iting"feature thatfollows the Ta ble of Contents are some of the most intelligent com­ mentaries on writing that I have ever read. Th e evening class in which the cover pictures were taken experienced a process of discovery as they read and outlined another Harper students published work. I can recall the engaged group reading and discussion as being a high point of the semeste1� and the reading and writing experience developing fr om that evening resulted in a high number of questions about "the research paper" being asked and resolved. On behalf of The Harper Anthology committee, I thank all fa culty who have submitted papers to this journal in the past and who use it in their classes, and I encourage more fa culty to incorporate the reading of Anthology essays in their classes. Th ese essays are the finest cross-section o.fthe Harper text and can be extremely valuable for instruction in the classroom. -Kris: Piepenburg, Chair,for The Harper Anthology committee: Charles Brown, Barbara Butler, Te resa Chung, Keith Jensen, Josh Sunderbruch, Anthony Wisniewski Submission Information I Table of Contents Submission Information Table of Contents Joseph Ayers Deadlines Redemption and Revenge in William Shakespeare's Hamlet Submission deadline, 2009 issue: (English 102) 1 January 20, 2009 Michael Balaban Submission deadline, 2010 issue: Laertes: Just a Foil?

  • Sh-Boom« Die Gesangsgruppen
    15. »Sh-Boom« Die Gesangsgruppen Martin Pfleiderer In den USA gab es bereits im 19. Jahrhundert professionelle Gesangsgrup- pen. So reisten etwa im Rahmen von Minstrelsy und Vaudeville zahlreiche singende Familiengruppen, insbesondere von Immigranten aus Deutsch- land und Österreich, durchs Land (vgl. Friedman/Gribin 2013: 3–9). Im 20. Jahrhundert veränderten sich die Traditionen des Gruppengesangs aufgrund der fortschreitenden Professionalisierung und der neuen Me- dientechnologien, aber auch aufgrund gesamtkultureller Veränderungen. Im Folgenden sollen einige der stilistischen Entwicklungen des populären Gruppengesangs in den USA zwischen 1900 und 1960 dargestellt werden. Die zentrale Fragestellung richtet sich auf die Art und Weise, wie die ver- schiedenen Gesangsstimmen einer Vokalgruppe zusammenwirken. Diese Gestaltungsweisen, ihr Auftreten in verschiedenen Musikgenres und ihre historischen Veränderungen sollen exemplarisch anhand von einflussrei- chen Aufnahmen und Vokalgruppen dargestellt werden. Gegenstand sind Vokalgruppen mit einer Besetzung von drei bis sechs Sängerinnen oder Sängern mit oder ohne zusätzliche Instrumental begleitung, die unter ei- nem gemeinsamen Gruppennamen aufgetreten sind. Vokalensembles, die als Background-Bands für einen Gesangsstar fungieren, werden dagegen nur am Rande thematisiert, ebenso wie größere Vokalensembles und Chö- re. Historischer Ausgangspunkt sind Praktiken und Gestaltungsweisen des Gruppengesangs, wie sie in frühen Aufnahmen des Hillbilly bezie- hungsweise Folk und Country und der afroamerikanischen

  • The Sun King and the Merry Monarch
    The Sun King and the Merry 1678 Monarch Explores the religious backdrop to one of the largest threats to England's throne - the Popish Plot. Aggravated by the murder of the magistrate Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, the Plot reflected religious beliefs and insecurities at the By Calum time. Sir Godfrey was my ancestor (of some 11 generations). A visit to his Johnson grave in Westminster Abbey in 2014 inspired me to explore his role in this religious turmoil which hit hard in 17th Century England... The Clergyman and the King of England Leaving for his morning stroll on the 13th of August 1678, Charles II, King of England and Defender of the Faith heard for the first time of a plot to kill him. This was far from unusual. Indeed, just months earlier, a woman in Newcastle had been subjected to a large investigation after stating, "the King deserves the curse of all good and faithful wives for his bad example”. And yet, when Mr Kirkby (his lab assistant) brought Dr Israel Tonge to him at 8 o’clock that evening, the king listened impatiently before handing the matter over to his first minister…. The Religious Pendulum: Change of Faith in England To truly examine the tumult about to hit England in the 17th Century, it is important that we look first at the Religious scene in Europe some 150 years earlier. In the previous century the Reformation began and Protestantism gathered momentum, fuelled by a desire to reduce the exuberance of the Church in Rome with its elaborate sculptures, paintings and stained-glass windows.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • Romeo at the Rose in 1598
    Issues in Review 149 66 Beeston is one of six men at the Red Bull named in an order for repair of the high- ways by the theatre, dated 3 October 1622; see Bentley, The Jacobean and Caroline Stage, 1.169 n.2. As he had managed Queen Anne’s Men there, and returned there with them after the 1617 riot, it appears that he owned, and continued to own, the theatre. 67 For ‘bifold appeal’ see discussion in Rutter, Work and Play, 110. 68 Exceptions include the Red Bull Revels’ Two Merry Milkmaids, at court in 1619/20, and Gramercy Wit in 1621; see Bentley, The Jacobean and Caroline Stage, 1.173. Romeo at the Rose in 1598 In two plays of the Lord Admiral’s Men — Englishmen for My Money and The Two Angry Women of Abingdon — echoes of Romeo and Juliet appear.1 The first performances of Englishmen took place at the Rose in 1598. Two Angry Women is likely to have played at the same venue in the same year. What may these echoes tell us about the ethos and practices of the Lord Admiral’s Men, about the dramatists who wrote for them, and about the company’s place in the literary and dramatic milieu of the time? I want to argue that the presence of these echoes reveals a degree of inte- gration into urban literary fashion. And I will also suggest that some of the company’s playwrights exhibit the kind of knowing playfulness that was soon to characterize the repertory of the children’s companies and which was already shaping the satires and epigrams to reach print publication at this time.

    William Shakespeare's Richard III A Royal Tragedy Acts Three, Four, and Five Notes Provided by WISDOM Home Schooling's Online Socratic Dialogue Progra Dramatis Personae KING EDWARD IV – The leader of the Yorkists, who beat the Lancastrian king, Henry VI, and took his throne. During the final battle that beat the Lancastrians, King Edward was one of the three men who dishonourably stabbed Lady Anne’s husband when he was already down. Edward used to be a great warrior, but has now become sickly, and is more interested in entertainment and women than in feats of courage. Sons to the King: EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES – About thirteen years old. King Edward IV and Queen Elizabeth’s older son, and heir to the throne of England. Wise beyond his years, and protective of his brother. RICHARD, DUKE OF YORK – About ten years old. Prince Edward’s younger brother, he is second in line to inherit the throne. Less serious than his brother, he is given to joking around and making fun of adults. Brothers to the King: GEORGE, DUKE OF CLARENCE – Clarence is a conflicted man. During the war between the Yorkists and the Lancastrians, he fought on whichever side seemed to be winning at the time. He was one of the three who stabbed Lady Anne’s husband. Despite his shifting alliances, Clarence nonetheless has a deep love for his wife and children. RICHARD, DUKE OF GLOUCESTER (pronounced “Gloss-ter”), who will one day become KING RICHARD III – Gloucester is a hunchback with a withered arm and a limp.

  • Review: Dion – Blues with Friends (2020) by Andy Thorley June 13, 2020
    REVIEW: DION – BLUES WITH FRIENDS (2020) BY ANDY THORLEY JUNE 13, 2020 With no disrespect meant to Dion, it’s the “With Friends” bit of this that you almost have to start with. There’s no need to list all his mates, either. They are front and centre on the cover. Right there. And he’s got a Nobel Prize winner doing the sleeve notes too. Robert Zimmerman no less, says this about Dion: “Dion knows how to sing, and he knows just the right way to craft these songs, these blues songs…… in the end, it’s Dion by himself alone, and that masterful voice of his that will keep you returning to share these Blues songs with him.” As he so often does, there, Mr. Dylan has nailed it, because bluntly – and call me a philistine if you like – when I listen to a record, I don’t care who is playing what, I only care about the songs. On this collection those are, for the most part, top class. Dion DiMucci has had a career that many – even including some of the legends that are on this record – would be envious of. A quick scan of his discography reveals some of the all time great singles. The ones that the world and their dogs have heard of. These days Dion (like Cher) he goes by one name only, plays the blues. And this, as he explained, is his dream: “I wanted an album of songs that were strong and memorable and told stories that were worth telling.” The first one, has got Joe Bonamassa sprinkling his kind of gold dust on “Blues Coming On” and it’s a cracker.
