    Discussion 1

    Music Important To You

    Write a little bit about music (an artist, album, or song) that you find especially interesting or has personal importance to you. Try to use some of the terminology from this week to describe what you hear that is interesting (timbre, groove, harmony, etc.). If discussing lyrics, think about how they reflect that tie period/year, etc (don’t give a summary of the lyrics). Provide a link or embed the video into your response.

    Example 1:

    I would say as Im getting older. Ive been listening to a lot more music and started to understand what songs really mean a lot more. One song I have been really into recently is “You Broke My Heart” by Current Joys. This song feels so nostalgic, and it came out in the year 2013. Its important to me because of the melody. I dont know why, but its so repetitive in my brain, and every time I hear it, it just makes me feel something. I wouldnt say the lyrics, but definitely the way the guitar sounds and the drums just feel so addictive to me, and I can just listen to it on repeat. I can just blast this song every time I drive at night, no matter what. This song itself just makes me want to learn to play the guitar so I can play it.

    Example 2

    One song that Im particularly fond of is Gorge Harrisons My Sweet Lord. The Harmony of the song feels very spiritual driven and nostalgic, which are supported by both the mid-temp flow of the guitar as well as the lyrics in which he states bad he wants to be with the lord. This song was preformed in the 1970s, a major time for the world since the US has been at war with Vietnam, causing a rise of Anti-war protests. This song has brought values of religion and peace to encourage optimistic views of those affected by the war as well as the ones who were protesting against the violence that was happening. This song brings so much importance to me as it encourages me to overpower all that is happening in the world, giving a sense of relief at a time that feels suffocating with hardships.

    Example 3

    I would say music has become more important to me as i have gotten older, i feel the more you start to understand and really sit back and listen to what words are being said and expressed in different songs it really and truly shows how someone feels without saying it exactly! Country music is for sure one of my top types of music i always will listen to it on the way to the beach or even watching sunsets. I think groove and harmony is very interesting in all different songs, one song that i really find apleing would have to be Morgan Wallen’s new album or even treaty oak. Both of these artist never write a bad song, at first i am not use to it but the more it plays and goes along it gets catch and really speaks for its self.

  • YOU CAN NAME MY ASSIGMENT

    Edgar Allan Poe’s life was marked with hardship and rejection on a near-continual basis. Add in the heavy drinking, and his early and tragic death was almost assured. Even so, Poe left a large literary body of work–in his life, he was known mostly for literary criticism rather than fiction and poetry–and his impact on American literature has made him a canonical writer. Poe, however, was indeed human, and was deeply affected by his own experiences as well as the broader issues and discussions of the day.

    You may chose one of the following themes:

    • 19th century science and Poe’s response
    • Poe’s distaste for Transcendentalism
    • Gothic themes and symbols

    Your paper should center around this chosen theme and will focus entirely on that theme. Do not address multiple topics.

    The requirements for this paper include:

    • clean MLA style with relevant and correct formatting and citations
    • several direct and well-integrated paraphrases or short quotes from one of Poe’s assigned fiction works
    • several direct and well-integrated paraphrases or short quotes from one of the materials provided under the Research heading for the module
    • several direct and well-integrated paraphrases or short quotes from at least one academic or critical text of your choosing. This includes books and critical articles found in databases such as JSTOR, ProjectMUSE, Gale Literature, and Academic Search Complete. This does not include generalized Web sources.
    • 900 words in length
    • correct and concise college-level academic tone and grammar
    • clear and understandable thesis focused on one topic
  • Wissam/ Salwan philosophy

    What is Philosophy?

    This week, I want you to think about what you expect to get out of this class. After doing the readings, imagine that a friend or family member has asked you why you are taking a philosophy class. They may be wondering what philosophy is, what it is good for, or why you would want to learn about it. In this discussion board, answer them by explaining what you’ve read from our first two readings.

    Since you need to post two responses each week, make one of your posts play the devil’s advocate. Now YOU can be the inquisitive friend or family member who isn’t yet convinced that philosophy is worthwhile. Challenge one of your classmates to answer/defend the importance of philosophy.

    Finally, what do you really think? Is philosophy worthwhile? Why or why not? (I promise I won’t mark you down for being honest! 😉
