Voices The Voice: Well, Mrs. Dryer, I go to a very competitive school. I have to take competitive classes. It's not as though the work load would go down if I dropped to a lower level. I had a very busy week, and the play just started. I'll have more time this week. I promise to practice more between now and next lesson. The Scholar (that lives in my mind): What is that woman saying!? Drop my AP classes so that I'll have more time for piano? Does she realize that piano isn't life? Or at least not my life? I've taken ten years of music, I think that's enough. I'd rather be spending my time becoming a more prolific writer. That's were my passion lies, not in music. Music is just romanticized math. It doesn't say anything deeper than its title. Not anything specific, at least. The Musician(that lives in my mind): Ummmm...excuse me? The Scholar: You heard what I said. Everyone gets sick of a song after awhile. It's because there are no life issues in music. You hear it and it's over, and there's nothing to hold on to, nothing to cherish, not even an image, afterwards. It distracts me from reading. Yes, it's part of culture, but to really appreciate it you have to have an ear for it. It's not my thing. To really get it, it has to be your thing. The Musician: Not your thing? Honey, listen to me, music is most definitely your thing. You can't escape it. As the volume goes up, your soul goes under, submerged in tone and rhythm and rubato (if you're lucky). It takes over your breath. The Scholar: I think that's more a function of sound wave vibration than anything else. The Musician: No, think of it this way. When we play gently we aren't gentle with the keys. We are gentle in the sound. But how do we get that sound? How do we know instinctively, or at least after practice, that a certain touch produces dolce? The key is breath, is mind. It's in us, not the music. No formula of physics could ever produce that type of sound.
Upon cursory reading, 1984 is a thrilling novel with interesting characters and a captivating plot, however, after analysis, one realized the depth of meaning behind the novel’s writing. Winston Smith is an ordinary man, in his thirties, trying to live in a totalitarian society where free thought is considered a crime. His actions and behaviors would most likely be that of any ordinary person who would be living in the same
If you put your finger gently on a loudspeaker you will feel it vibrate - if it is playing a low note loudly you can see it moving. When it moves forwards, it compresses the air next to it, which raises its pressure. Some of this air flows outwards, compressing the next layer of air. The disturbance in the air spreads out as a travelling sound wave. Ultimately this sound wave causes a very tiny vibration in your eardrum - but that's another story.
Much of the dream is about Winston's longing for the past and how he desires to be connected to the past as much as possible while remaining in the confined present. As Winston awakes from his dream, the word "Shakespeare" is on his lips. Shakespeare is deeply rooted in the past. The Ministry of Truth has undoubtedly erased or reformed much of Shakespeare's writings, and Winston's thought of Shakespeare represents his subconscious desire and love for the better past.
1984 is a dystopian novel written by George Orwell. Orwell talks about how our government makes use of technological devices by putting surveillance cameras everywhere so they can watch all the moves we make, and listen to whatever we’re saying. The Party uses technology like telescreens, speakwrite, and mics to control its citizens.
In the novel 1984, by George Orwell, the thematic element of control is clearly portrayed through a variety of perspectives such as newspeak, telescreens, thoughtcrime, or in other words psychological, and physical manipulation.
Unless you travel into the vacuum of space, sound is all around you every day.. You hear sounds; you don't touch them. But as the vibrations that sound creates in other objects. The idea that something so intangible can lift objects can seem unbelievable, but it's a real phenomenon.
The story 1984 is about Winston Smith an average person who lives on airstrip one in Oceania, which used to be London, England. The ruling government of Oceania is IN SOC, which is a totalitarianism government. The author George Orwell wrote this book to warn people about the negative effects of a totalitarianism government.
The book 1984 written by George Orwell is about Big Brother’s ways or methods of control in the novel.This novel George created a bad controlled society, more of a non corrupted one where the people were people stripped of their humanity and they do not matter or even exist. It takes place in a fictional place called “Oceania” where The Party and Big Brother are in control.
1984 has come and gone. The cold war is over. The collapse of oppressive totalitarian regimes leads to the conclusion that these governments by their nature generate resistance and are doomed to failure. The fictional world of George Orwell's novel, 1984, is best described as hopeless; a nightmarish dystopia where the omnipresent State enforces perfect conformity among members of a totalitarian Party through indoctrination, propaganda, fear, and ruthless punishment. In the aftermath of the fall of capitalism and nuclear war, the world has been divided among three practically identical totalitarian nation-states. A state of perpetual war and poverty is the rule in Oceania. However, this is merely a backdrop, far from the most terrifying aspect of life in 1984; a total loss of individual freedom, thought, and privacy in exchange for false security and obedience to a totalitarian government.

Understanding the frank physics of ultrasound is vital for acute care physicians who present point-of-care ultrasound to make precise critical decisions. Ultrasound is made up of mechanical waves that can send across disparate materials like fluids, soft tissues and solids. It has a frequency higher than the higher human auditory check of 20 KHz.[1] Ultrasound frequency is described as the number of ultrasound waves each subsequent, and health ultrasound mechanisms use waves alongside a frequency fluctuating amid 2 and 15 MHz.[2] The velocity of ultrasound in a specific medium equals the frequency of ultrasound increased by its wave length.[1]
“Yep,” I responded, “I just studied for a little bit longer.” Feeling more confident that I was going to pass the test, my stress levels started to fall. Then the day of the test came. The first test I had to do was piano technique or playing the piano. The test was located at another teacher’s house, which was about half an hour away from my house. During the drive, my heart rate started beating faster and faster, until it felt like my heart was going to burst. My dad, who noticed that I was stressing out said, “Calm down Andrew, there’s nothing to be worried about.”
What distinguishes sound waves from most other waves is that humans easily can perceive the frequency and amplitude of the wave. The frequency governs the pitch of the note produced, while the amplitude relates to the sound le...
In today's day and age, music may also act as a therapeutic outlet for some people.
...nd; "music exalts life, enhances life, and gives it meaning...it is both personal and beyond the personal...it remains a fixed point of reference in an unpredictable world. Music is a source of reconciliation, exhilaration, and hope that never fails" (p 188).
