When listening to ‘Dog’ by Bob Dorough from the album ‘Jazz Canto – Volume 1’ before listening to the track ‘Ella Guru’ from Trout Mask Replica, there are a number of comparisons to be drawn, specifically with the lyrics and vocal delivery. More than anything, it’s the fast cadence and playful style, when Dorough delivers lines such as “The dog trots freely in the street, and what he sees is reality, and the things he sees are bigger than himself, and the things he sees are his reality”, in many ways, Dorough is describing an otherwise quite complex idea with words that are as simple as they can possibly be, while at the same time it could’ve been described in less words, though had it been, a lot of the poetry of it would’ve been lost. Beefheart’s style is similar in ‘Ella Guru’ where – before the first chorus – he sings “She do what she mean …show more content…
An often-used technique for creating rhythm sections of Beefheart’s - which actually dates back to Safe As Milk and the song ‘Electricity’ – is to mirror melodic elements of the track with the drums. When working on Electricity, Beefheart approached drummer John French, and asked him if he could play the guitar riff of the track on his drums, to which French complied. They would then set about making a drum part, which identically matched the rhythm of the guitar riff. For the Trout Mask Replica sessions, French’s involvement with the compositions became much more intense as he was the one that Beefheart would rely on to score the instrumental parts (this is why the drum parts would have to be left until after everything else). Examples of John French’s rhythmic ‘mirroring’ exist all over the album. The track ‘My Human Gets Me Blues’ starts with a simple (but still dissonant) two-note bassline, which is directly twinned with French’s drums, and examples of interplay between the two elements exist throughout the track as it goes through different

Dr. Seuss 's Go, Dog. Go, was a book I remember reading a lot (probably because I loved dogs so much). When I was younger I used to go to my aunt 's house during the summer, and my grandmother would always be there. She enjoyed reading, so she made me read a book a week, whether it was from the library or from the books on the shelves at my aunt 's house. I did not enjoy going over there to read, especially since it was summer, but I did get rewarded after finishing a book with a game of Guess Who? with my grandmother.
It could be argued that ‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida’ served exemplary as testament to the changing attitudes towards rock music and psychedelic acid rock of the time. The prevalence of the genre was tangible, even the AFVN (American Forces Vietnam Network) added a special channel in 1968 for those soldiers serving overseas who had reported an interest in the musical style (Kramer, 2006). Perhaps this song was indeed the natural progression of music in a time of so much uncertainty for an entire generation fraught with equal parts revolutionary ideals and Cold War paranoia. The track’s tone, ambiance were defined by an eerily dark otherworldliness unheard of up until that point in rock music and arguably not replicated again until Black Sabbath’s NIB
In the story, “The Dog That Bit People”, Mother always blamed others for the things that Muggs did. On page 4, paragraph 7, muggs bit Lieutenant-Governor Malloy. Mother blamed the governor by claiming that the sound of people screaming excited Muggs, and that made him bite people. Also on page 3, paragraph 6, the narrator stated “it was a foolhardy thing to do and the last time I saw my mother, about six months ago”. It can be inferred that Mother either left or that she kicked the narrator out of the house because she placed the blame on the narrator for holding Muggs in the air.

Take a moment and picture a dog in your head. What do you see? You may see many different things depending on your own personal encounters with the species. There are many types of dogs out there. Some small, some large, long-haired or short-haired. There are many variances in what a dog can look like. One thing that does not change, or should not change, is the importance for every dog in this world to be given love and affection, no matter its characteristics. This is what leads me to believe that the obsession with producing and owning purebreds needs to come to a halt. Continuing to create these so-called “best dogs” is dangerous to not only the purebred’s health, but also devalues mixed breeds and can cost them their lives in animal shelters where they may never escape. My interest in this topic caused me to look into seeing what other people felt about it.
For years Golden Retrievers has been in the top five on list of Americas favorite pet breeds. While looking at the breeds golden locks and outgoing behavior its clear to that these are just two of the many reasons why the breed is so loved. If a person ever gets the chance to meet a golden, they’ll soon see why the breed is so lovable with its people pleasing nature. However, on a more serious note Golden's are now starting to branch out of its ‘Americas favorite show dog’ reputation. Nowadays cancer researchers are discovering the breeds scientific potential.

Word count includes Annotated Bibliography. Throughout the world, there are many different countries that contain diverse cultures, religions, and lifestyles. There are however certain aspects within these countries and cultures that act as a common ground between one another. One dominant aspect is the existence of dogs within these cultures.
An increasing number of pit bull attacks have occurred over past decade. People who are attacked by pit bulls always suffer serious injuries because of the pit bulls’ sharp teeth and strong muscles. In October 19, 2009, Dr Hugh Wirth who is the RSPCA’s Victorian president renewed calls for American pit bull terriers to be bred out of Australia. The current laws require owners of pit bulls to register their pit bull. While some people are satisfied with the laws because they think that they are safe, others disagree. From my own perspective, the laws should be improved. The government should ban these fierce dogs and wipe them out instead of just registering them. In my opinion, there are three reasons why I am in favour of Dr Wirth’s proposal.
Kevin was convinced that Cromwell didn't need training, or Howie to pay for it. He needed to convince Howie, like he had convinced himself. Kevin begged to Howie to give him a month to get Cromwell in order. He told Howie that he would do everything he could do, but send Cromwell to training. Howie decided to give Kevin one month to take Cromwell on a walk without him breaking free, destroying something, and not Cromwell walking Kevin. Kevin had to be in control of Cromwell, not the other way around.
Harrison Scott Key, who was published in Best Travel Writing 2014, wrote about his travels on one of America’s infamous modes of transportation, the Greyhound Bus. In “Fifty Shades of Greyhound”, Key begins his memoir by recalling the first time he had ever ridden on a greyhound. He wanted to go see West Yellowstone, Montana and despite his friends questioning his sanity and his mother believing that he will die, he left. The narrator returned several days later, promising his mother he would never do anything like that again, eighteen years later he broke that promise. He begins his essay in a Greyhound station in Savannah.
The movie Lady Day: The Many Faces Of Billie Holiday paints an interesting, and thought provoking portrait of one of jazz and blues most charismatic, and influential artists. The incomparable talent of Billie Holiday, both truth and legend are immortalized in this one-hour documentary film. The film follows Holiday, also referred to as “Lady Day” or “Lady”, through the many triumphs and trials of her career, and does it’s very best to separate the facts from fiction. Her autobiography Lady Sings The Blues is used as a rough guide of how she desired her life story to be viewed by her public. Those who knew her, worked with her, and loved her paint a different picture than this popular, and mostly fictional autobiography.

Dog Act was an enjoyable play set in a dystopian era that used a variety of elements, such as costumes, scenic design, etc. to keep the audience immersed in the peregrinations of the characters. My favorite technique was Dog Act's utilization of an array of speaking styles within its post-apocalyptic vernacular. The word choices and tones were noticeably exotic compared to our world, yet still different in the fashions each character spoke.
are a kind of wolf. They were the first animals that people fed on purpose, earlier than sheep or cows or chickens. People have been taking care of dogs in Central Asia since about 13,000 BC, in the Stone Age, before the beginning of farming (and possibly much earlier; maybe as long as 100,000 years ago, before people left Africa). Most likely, dogs themselves began this relationship by hanging around people's campsites (there weren't any villages yet), trying to snatch some of their garbage to eat. At first, people must have tried to scare the dogs away. But after a while, some of them realized that the dogs ate rats, and also helped to clean up food garbage that drew flies and other insects. So campsites with dogs were cleaner and healthier than campsites without dogs. Fewer people got dysentery and died.
