The Turn Of The Screw Book Report
My Findings in the Show I appreciated “The Turn of The Screw” by Henry James, which was my first time to watch a show students played. I found in the show the difference of what they illustrated in a high pitch, the importance of volume, and the function of changing a rate. Both of the man and the women spoke in a high pitch basically, but what each of the two indicated was different. The man’s high pitch voice represented the ghost’s nasty nature well. Conversely, the women’s constant high pitch voice contained her firm will to protect children form the ghost. I found the volume of voice was more important for a show than I had expected. It was very effective to have an impact on the audience that the man and the woman suddenly uttered

    The Ted Talk by Julian Treasures’ reflected his views on successfully speaking to engage an audience to listen and understand. To build credibility he spoke confidently about his past Ted Talk speeches and visually showed the audience his knowledge when becoming inclusively vocal. He also included images for visual representation and an acronym which showed his knowledge and research on the topic. He used Pathos methods to engage his audience by adding humour into his speech and incorporating audience participation when he presented his vocal practice. This proved to be extremely evident as the audience became more interested and positive after participating.…

    Pastor Dave Galbraith talked with a loud volume with his booming voice, which could easily be heard by all members of the audience, especially with the use of a microphone. To show excitement, promote emphasis, and keep interest, his volume modulated at important points. His voice was clear and easy to understand, and used proper articulation or enunciation. I did not notice many, if any, mispronounced words. A couple of times, he did say, “uh” and “um” when he spoke, but they were very infrequent. Since he spoke at an average rate that wasn’t too fast or too slow, with adequate pauses, he was very easy to follow along with. His pitch was reasonable, and not too high or too low. His vocal quality was rich, full, and pleasant, rather than breathy or nasally. (C11)…

    The two main elements of Benjamin Zanders presentation that stood out the most to me was the exercises about impulses within music and how the audience was able to identify them within a classical piece and then the fact that nobody is tone deaf. The impulse within music and how the audience was able to identify them within a classical piece was significant to me because it was an easy way for those in the audience who had no experience with music to pick up the subtle ideas of how to follow the music. Then the fact nobody was tone deaf was significant to me because I thought that most amateur ears would not be able to follow with a scale. However, after hearing what the audience sang it made me realize how true that statement is and how easy…

    On the surface, Henry James’, “Turn of the Screw” has all of the qualities of an innocent old-fashioned ghost story, but underneath there is much more. The use of ambiguity appears frequently throughout the novel and the reader is left to decide a lot on their own; Are the ghosts real? Who can actually see the ghosts? Which characters can the reader really rely on? These questions can be answered in a variety of different ways, but who is to say which answer is the correct one? The biggest case of ambiguity appears at the very end of the ghost story with the death of Miles.…

    Many have encouraged me to read Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, finally I decided to give it a try. I'm not a huge fan of reading, however I was told that I would thoroughly enjoy every page of what was described as an "edge of my seat" read. I love a good book that puts you on edge and makes one feel like he or she absolutely must know the events on the next page. Therefore, how could I turn down a persuasion like that? I had to get a hold of this fictional novel.…

    As this is one of my favorite classes, I can remember several lessons that were entertaining this past year. One of the first materials that come to mind is when we did the presentations about whatever we wanted. A recent topic, I enjoyed was reading The Crucible as a class. I also recall finding Edgar Allen Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" amusing but slightly disturbing. The element I enjoy most about PowerePoints is researching the information. Although presenting them is something I am not inclined to doing, being allowed to select the subject of the PowerPoint was especially pleasing to me. Reading The Crucible as a class was surprisingly highly entertaining to me. I considered the various people’s perspectives, reading the lines…
