Thesis: English Literature Department, Faculty of Adab and Humanities, Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2019. This research is aimed at taking comprehensive understanding regarding the type of figurative language within the song lyrics in Katy Perry’s Witness (2017) album to know what her perspectives about her country (USA) especially after the 2016 election. After understanding the type of figurative language, it is then related and connected to the idea of the author. The utilized theories in this research are stylistics by Geoffrey Leech and Mick Short and figurative language by Laurence Perrine. This study uses qualitative method and content analysis approach since the object of the analysis is formed as song lyrics. Adopting the Perrine’s theory of figurative language, it is discovered that there are only seven of twelve types of figurative language i.e. simile, metaphor, personification, metonymy, symbol, hyperbole, and irony. Metaphor mostly dominates in the song lyrics with its total eight times (29,63%) of occurrence. After finding the type of figurative language, the researcher relates the meaning of figurative language to the context in the data. Hence, it is discovered that the author’s political perspective and women empowerment in metaphor which dominates the type of figurative language. -
RESTORATION RESTORATION 660 Mason Ridge Center Dr
REGRETS, REALITY, REGRETS, REALITY, RESTORATION RESTORATION Regrets: whose life is not plagued by at least a few of these nagging leftovers from the past? The things we regret doing—or not doing, as the case may be—can wear us down, reshaping our lives and our sense of self, in the process. Left unattended, regrets erode our self-esteem, our willingness to press on, even our ability to think clearly. Everything becomes shrouded by the guilt, the pain we’ve caused, the sense that lives have been ruined, or at least dreadfully altered, by our foolish mistakes. 660 Mason Ridge Center Dr. What’s happened in our lives, however, does not have to dictate the present—or the future. We can move beyond the crippling anguish and pain our decisions St. Louis, Missouri 63141-8557 may have caused. Still, restoration—true restoration— is not purely a matter of willpower and positive think- ing. It’s turning to the One who has taken all our griefs, 1-800-876-9880 • www.lhm.org sorrows, anxieties, blunders, and misdeeds to the cross and where, once and for all time, He won for us an ultimate victory, through His death and resurrection. In Jesus there is a way out of your past. There is no 6BE159 sin beyond pardon. Even as Peter was devastated by his callousness toward the Savior’s predicament and arrest, he was restored—by the grace of God—to a REGRETS, REALITY, life that has made a difference in the lives of untold millions through the centuries. 6BE159 660 Mason Ridge Center Dr. -
Cutting Patterns in DW Griffith's Biographs
Cutting patterns in D.W. Griffith’s Biographs: An experimental statistical study Mike Baxter, 16 Lady Bay Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5BJ, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]) 1 Introduction A number of recent studies have examined statistical methods for investigating cutting patterns within films, for the purposes of comparing patterns across films and/or for summarising ‘average’ patterns in a body of films. The present paper investigates how different ideas that have been proposed might be combined to identify subsets of similarly constructed films (i.e. exhibiting comparable cutting structures) within a larger body. The ideas explored are illustrated using a sample of 62 D.W Griffith Biograph one-reelers from the years 1909–1913. Yuri Tsivian has suggested that ‘all films are different as far as their SL struc- tures; yet some are less different than others’. Barry Salt, with specific reference to the question of whether or not Griffith’s Biographs ‘have the same large scale variations in their shot lengths along the length of the film’ says the ‘answer to this is quite clearly, no’. This judgment is based on smooths of the data using seventh degree trendlines and the observation that these ‘are nearly all quite different one from another, and too varied to allow any grouping that could be matched against, say, genre’1. While the basis for Salt’s view is clear Tsivian’s apparently oppos- ing position that some films are ‘less different than others’ seems to me to be a reasonably incontestable sentiment. It depends on how much you are prepared to simplify structure by smoothing in order to effect comparisons. -
Slang in American and British Hip-Hop/Rap Song Lyrics
LEXICON Volume 5, Number 1, April 2018, 84-94 Slang in American and British Hip-Hop/Rap Song Lyrics Tessa Zelyana Hidayat*, Rio Rini Diah Moehkardi Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This research examines semantic changes and also the associative patterns of slang, focusing primarily on common topics, i.e., people and drugs. The data were slang terms taken from the lyrics of hip-hop/rap songs sung by four singers, two from the U.S.A and two from the U.K. A total of 105 slang terms were found, 45 of which belong to the people category and 16 to the drugs category in the American hip-hop/rap song lyrics, and in the British hip-hop/rap song lyrics, 26 of which belong to the people category and 18 to the drugs category. Bitch and nigga were found to be the most frequently used slang terms in the people category. In terms of semantic changes, broadening, amelioration, and narrowing were found, and in terms of associative patterns, effect, appearance, way of consuming, constituent, and container associative patterns were found. In addition, a new associative pattern was found, i.e., place of origin. Keywords: associative patterns, people and drugs slang, semantic change, slang. mislead people outside their group.

From Page to Stage (Or Movie Or Song) Shakespeare’S Plays Were Meant to Be Performed (Heard) Rather Than Read
From Page to Stage (or Movie or Song) Shakespeare’s plays were meant to be performed (heard) rather than read. Shakespeare is daunting! We suggest that students read one scene, break down the scene and then view the scene from a filmed version. Make sure to preview the filmed versions and check ratings for age appropriateness. Examples: Richard III: Richard III staring and directed by Laurence Olivier, 1955; Richard III with Ian McKellan, 1995; Looking for Richard with Al Pacino, 1996. Hamlet: Hamlet with Laurence Olivier, 1948; Hamlet with Mel Gibson, 1990; Rosencranz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard, 1996; Hamlet with Kenneth Branagh, 1996. Macbeth: Throne of Blood by Akira Kurosawa, 1957; Macbeth by Roman Polanski, 1973. Romeo and Juliet: West Side Story, 1961; Romeo and Juliet by Franco Zeffirelli, 1968; Romeo + Juliet by Baz Lurman, 1968; Shakespeare in Love, 1999. A Midsummer Night’s Dream: A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Peter Hall,1968; A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Michael Hoffman with Kevin Kline and Michelle Pfeiffer, 1999 Likewise, Hip Hop is meant to be heard rather than read. Most Hip Hop songs tell a story. Ask students to bring in their favorite Hip Hop songs with accompanying lyrics. Distribute the lyrics to the class and talk about the story. Then listen to the selection with music and discuss how the music contributes to the artistry of the piece. (Note: You may want to specify that students bring radio versions of songs and pre-screen for content and language.) Love I start to think, and then I sink Tryin to find -

That World of Somewhere in Between: the History of Cabaret and the Cabaret Songs of Richard Pearson Thomas, Volume I
That World of Somewhere In Between: The History of Cabaret and the Cabaret Songs of Richard Pearson Thomas, Volume I D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebecca Mullins Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Dr. Scott McCoy, advisor Dr. Graeme Boone Professor Loretta Robinson Copyright by Rebecca Mullins 2013 Abstract Cabaret songs have become a delightful and popular addition to the art song recital, yet there is no concise definition in the lexicon of classical music to explain precisely what cabaret songs are; indeed, they exist, as composer Richard Pearson Thomas says, “in that world that’s somewhere in between” other genres. So what exactly makes a cabaret song a cabaret song? This document will explore the topic first by tracing historical antecedents to and the evolution of artistic cabaret from its inception in Paris at the end of the 19th century, subsequent flourish throughout Europe, and progression into the United States. This document then aims to provide a stylistic analysis to the first volume of the cabaret songs of American composer Richard Pearson Thomas. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to the person who has been most greatly impacted by its writing, however unknowingly—my son Jack. I hope you grow up to be as proud of your mom as she is of you, and remember that the things in life most worth having are the things for which we must work the hardest. -
Messenger “Advent, Justice, and a Release from the Random” by David Pettit
February/March 2020 Messenger “Advent, Justice, and a Release from the Random” by David Pettit We’ve all seen the stories and the videos on social media. The police officer who pulls someone over in a sketchy neighborhood, and to the stressed and confused driver, the police officer hands a turkey or a check just in time for the holidays. Or the billionaire commencement speaker who cancels the stu- dent debt of that lucky graduating class. Or the fortunate couple for whom Ellen decides to give a new home, their shock, and elation a form of public entertainment. Random acts of kindness. As random as the lottery. As random as a school shooting. Always guessing. Wondering. No rhyme or reason. I’m told that such acts of kindness are a reminder that there are good people out there. There is good in humanity still. And to a limited degree, I can subscribe to this. I certainly don’t want to discourage bold acts to help others. But randomness; it has an effect on the psyche. Always wondering, nothing to count on. Randomness. A loose synonym for inequality, for haphazardness, luck, fortune, or misfortune. It was this past Advent that I listened to an audio copy of The Tattooist of Auschwitz. I was drawn into the world and the experiences it presented, as any skillfully told story can do, causing me to see the world through its perspective. I saw randomness. The cumulative effect of being vulnerable to whims, caprices, and power, always wondering what response will come. What will happen? Extra food ra- tion? The butt of a rifle to the head? A bullet? Random. -
