horticulture. Although the only evidence shown of hunting was the deer meat that was served for dinner, it isn’t enough to confirm that hunting and gathering is a way of life for these citizens. Employment consists of a convenience store clerk, a radio announcer, and there is a tribal school so there are teachers and staff members to staff the school. Government employees aren’t shown except, perhaps, for Suzy Song who is a Hospital Administrator with Indian Health Services, yet she lives and works in Phoenix
working conditions and the salary and benefits are vital factors to consider Before applying for a broadcasting job, educational requirements must be met. Graduating high school is an important first step on the road to become a sports broadcaster or announcer. According to the Ferguson Publishing Company “Television sports broadcasters who deliver the news in sports, usually have Bachelors degrees in communications or journalism” (73). Most play-by-play broadcasters for radio stations have journalistic
audience to adjust and become familiar with the station. Listening to CBS FM, I've noticed the voice of the announcer to fit quite appropriately to the program. The announcer produces a fifties style voice as he accents his words according to the rhythm and style of the program. The words range from normal to high, going accordingly to the style of the music being presented. For example, the announcer says, "HELLLLLLLOOOOO EVERYBODY!" (Ala Buddy Holly style). By doing this, this appeals to the segment
used in 1935 to describe Martin Block; the first radio announcer, while Jimmy Savile claims to have become the first DJ to use twin turntables for continuous play. Even in 1935 there was a clear and established distinction between DJ and Disc Jockey. In the field of radio broadcasting the terminology used to describe professionals is specific and not just free floating jargon. A DJ is the person airing a program for listeners. Radio announcers, or a DJ’s, job is to present clear, informative, and
It was our people failing." (par.16) describes the emotional weight of the fight, and how Louis losing will be devastating to the African American community. Angelou utilizes the dynamic between the announcer and the listeners from home to build tension, and create a sense of the unknown. The announcer and the peoples dynamic is also used to show the magnitude of the fights importance to many blacks in America, showing that even in a small and rural town that crowds have gathered to cheer for Louis
one object to another. Usually, it is for reference such as comparing a thing to something close to that matter. But is it really negative to compare something in regarding between the two genders? Sports announcers have dealt with heat because of the things they have said on air. Numerous announcers take for granted their airtime that they don’t think thoroughly of what the things come out of their mouth. They’ve been so desensitized to having to say anything towards an athletes background that sometimes
that even smaller, minor characters act based off of what their society has done to them. For example, who really caught my eye was the news announcer. “[The news bulletin] wasn't clear at first as to what [it] was about, since the announcer, like all announcers, had a serious speech impediment” (Vonnegut, Jr. 37). Later on in the story, the news announcer “[gives] up and handed the bulletin to a ballerina to read (Vonnegut, Jr. 37). This shows the effects of their society. It is a dumb society,
Brylee Jordan Mrs. Ruiz English 102 April 9, 2024 Power of the Media In the short story “Harrison Bergeron” author Kurt Vonnegut Jr., explores the theme of the power of the media. The short story is set in a future society where everyone is forced into equality through the use of handicaps to limit an individual's beauty, abilities and strengths. The main character, Harrison, is intelligent and has a great amount of strength. In punishment he was forced to bear heavy weights, wear glasses that cause
Kurt Vonnegut paints a picture of American society 120 years past 1961. Society has made a gradual change, but it is a drastic one nonetheless. After nearly two hundred amendments to the constitution, everyone is supposed to be equal in every way. “Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.” (232 Vonnegut). In this landscape Vonnegut shows that people will never be completely equal, and trying to force equality
the speaker appears to be a BBC announcer who presents the news in Glaswegian rather than in 'accent less' Standard English. The poem seems to very personal because the poet, Tom Leonard is actually Glaswegian himself so it may be almost auto biographical. We can tell the poem is in a conversational tone because the words 'talk' and 'said' emulate this idea. The tone is almost bitter in its anger, because Tom Leonard is angry. This is because the announcer not only despises the non Standard
I stand next to the stage as they announce the winner of the science fair. “And the winner is…” The government official opens a small red envelope, “Lucas and his perpetual motion machine! Tomorrow he’ll be flown to the capital, where he will be naturalized into the government’s top research crew, to study and find ways to help the world with this invention. This is history in the making!” The crowd cheers loudly. I just stand there looking despondently at my broken water engine. It was a nominal

The Hunger games book report Katniss Everdeen is a young girl that lives in district 12 of the country panem with her mother and sister Prim. She is a really good hunter and supplies her family with food from her hunts. Every year the capitol of Panem hosts an event called the Hunger Games which requires two tributes, A boy and a girl.

The creator accomplishes the goal of educating people by having two audiences. As Dan Simmons, the stage announcer, explains the effects of selective attention, he states, “If you didn’t notice the penguin going through, don't feel bad. This says nothing about how intelligent you are, or how much effort you're engaging. It turns out that about half of the people
"it wasn't clear at first as to what the bulletin was about, since the announcer, like all announcers, had a serious speech impediment" (Vonnegut 2). At first, readers might feel the urge to laugh at the irony in requiring all television announcers to have a speech impediment; however, the fact that it is described in such a matter-of-fact way makes it seem more serious. George and Hazel do not find it amusing that the announcer cannot speak. In fact, Hazel feels the man should receive a raise for
I saw the entire arena filled with other teams as I peeked from behind the curtains. I was petrified feeling like I had to pee. “Y'all earn this title!” My coach proudly stated. Suddenly, the announcer said,”Walnut Valley Cowboys! Division 13! You’re on!” I dashed onto the massive stage with my team. I was horrified seeing the judges’ face. Then, our music commenced. I leaped into my cheer stunt, and I maintained to remind myself, “Do not fall
focus on the importance of gun control. Other than that, I had no idea what I was getting into! As the crowds filed in, I noticed that an announcer would yell when someone particularly notable came in. I didn’t know why the announcer yelled “Mr. Speaker” at the start of each announcement, but I decided to figure that out after the speech. Finally, the announcer loudly proclaimed the entrance of President Obama, and a continuous standing ovation came from the audience as he slowly made his way to the
described in the paragraph above, where the announcer of the match relays it as it is going on in a similar fashion. The announcer reports that “[the other contender’s] got Louis against the ropes” (89) and “it’s a left to the body and a right to the ribs” (89). The fight is reported in a direct and choppy way, a way similar to that which is used to created the sentences in the next paragraph. The juxtaposition between the paragraphs is exhibited; the announcer is describing how Louis at that moment is
her people. The subsequent paragraph is only comprised of three short sentences: “We didn’t breathe. We didn’t hope. We waited” (18). With these sentences, Angelou begins to build suspense. The story yet again reverts back to the play-by-play. The announcer reveals that Joe Louis knocked out his opponent and starts to count down. He then questions if the fallen fighter will get up again and the men at the other end of the radio shout “NO” (23) in unison, which clearly expresses their frustration to
