    Charles Ives Charles Ives is known in our day as the “Father of American Music,” but in his day, he was known just like everyone else- an ordinary man living his life.

    In 1894, a young, quietly colorful Charles Ives enters Yale University. He enters with a strong musical foundation provided by his father and community and a vision of what he thinks music can be. Horatio Parker, Ives’s composition professor unashamedly informs Ives that his vision of music seems blurry, perhaps even nauseating, to the astute, cultured musician. Ives quickly develops anger towards Parker’s traditional tutelage and rarely recognizes the positive effects Parker has on his compositions

Although the play is brief, Sure Thing resembles various pathways and ideas of how human beings individually interpret love and how maybe, just maybe

  • David Ives' Sure Thing

    787 Words  | 2 Pages

    On the surface David Ives’ “Sure Thing” is a play about two strangers who meet, fall in love and live happily ever after. When analyzed in more depth, the play is actually about the struggle that exists between one’s desire to be an individual and the need to conform, to a certain degree, in order to be part of a couple. The play exposes and discusses the tension that exists between the value of being an individual and value associated with being in love. Love holds the promise that you will always

    existed for centuries. Perhaps one of the most well-known “musical borrowers” was Charles Ives, who worked snippets of popular, classical songs into his many compositions. Ives began composing in his teenage years, and went on to study music at Yale University. Though his instructor wanted him to stay within the realm of “traditional classical music”, Ives’ pieces were anything but traditional (“Charles Edward Ives: Biography”, 2014). His 1906 composition, titled Central Park in the Dark, is a prime

  • Flirt With A Girl

    528 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is indeed a complicated concept for guys to know on how to flirt with a girl.  Flirting is a behavior that does not include verbal but also non–verbal idea that can interest the opposite sex. It is more than just complimenting women by trying to impress them through dressing up, showing off the wealth or picking up a girl with those cheesy lines. It is more of your approach towards the girl. Normal conversation can enhance the bonding between the two and can develop the sexual tension that is

  • Analysis of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels

    1359 Words  | 3 Pages

    Gulliver's Travels Many of the critics who have critiqued Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels have used the word extraneous more then once.  Swift was viewed as an insane person who was a failure in life.  But this is far from the truth.  Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels, a book that has been assigned to students for years, and it is written from experience.  Swift's experience with the Tories and their conflicts with the Whigs caused him to write books that mock religious beliefs, government

  • Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels - Attitudes and Perceptions of Societies

    812 Words  | 2 Pages

    Attitudes and Perceptions of Societies in Gulliver's Travels By the end of Book II in Gulliver's Travels, it is very clear that the character of Gulliver is not the same man who wrote the letter in the beginning of the story.  In fact, he is not the same man he was in Book I.  From the onset of Gulliver's Travels, Swift creates for us a seemingly competent character and narrator in Gulliver.  In his account we learn how his adventures have changed him and his perception of people, for the central

  • Satire in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels

    1941 Words  | 4 Pages

    Satire in Gulliver's Travels On the surface, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver's Travels appears to be a travel log, made to chronicle the adventures of a man, Lemuel Gulliver, on the four most incredible voyages imaginable. Primarily, however, Gulliver's Travels is a work of satire. "Gulliver is neither a fully developed character nor even an altogether distinguishable persona; rather, he is a satiric device enabling Swift to score satirical points" (Rodino 124). Indeed, whereas the work begins with

  • Jonathan A. Glenn's The Seafarer

    2398 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Anglo-Saxon society was a combination of the Jutes, the Anglos, and the Saxons. It was through this combination that the values of this one culture evolved. Anglo-Saxons lived their lives according to values such as masculine orientation, transience of life, and love for glory. Contradictory to the belief that the Anglo-Saxons’ values are outdated, one will find when taking a closer look that most of the values are, in fact, still present in today’s society. Most of the literature

  • Why Washington Stopped Working By Jonathan Rouch

    990 Words  | 2 Pages

    The overall theme of Government's End, Why Washington Stopped Working by Jonathan Rauch is one of calling for a reform for the way in which the modern government is operated. I believe that the overall feel of the book is not so much that Jonathan Rauch has a problem with what the government can not get done, but rather what the government can not get undone. The feeling to the book is that the government is a slow giant that will not change its ways. His analyses of the government of being slow

    Finding Wisdom in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels A wise man once said, "That which does not kill us only makes us stronger". Jonathan Swift obviously made good use of the moral of this quote when writing his book, Gulliver's Travels. In this book, Swift tells of Lemuel Gulliver's travels to fantastic nations that exist only in Swift's own imagination. However, as Gulliver journeys to these new places, his attitudes about the state of man and his morals gradually change. In every stage

    Although Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift has long been thought of as a children's story, it is actually a dark satire on the fallacies of human nature. The four parts of the book are arranged in a planned sequence, to show Gulliver's optimism and lack of shame with the Lilliputians, decaying into his shame and disgust with humans when he is in the land of the Houyhnhmns. The Brobdingnagians are more hospitable than the Lilliputians, but Gulliver's attitude towards them is more disgusted and
