What is sound? Sound is a wave‚ a pattern—simple or complex‚ depending on the sound—of changing air pressure. Sound is produced by vibrations of objects. The vibrations push and pull on air molecules. The pushes cause a local compression of the air (increase in pressure)‚ and the pulls cause a local rarefaction of the air (decrease in pressure). Since the air molecules are already in constant motion‚ the compressions and rarefactions starting at the original source are rapidly transmitted through

There are three major themes present in The Sound and the Fury. They are the themes of good versus evil‚ loss‚ and love. Throughout the whole novel we can see that "Quentin is striving for the condition of tragedy for the Compsons"(Hoffman 86)‚ while Benjy is doing the opposite. Dowling’s opinion on page 114 is that Benjy is seen as a Christ figure. This is evident because he acts like an innocent child due to his handicap. Along with the whole Quentin versus Benjy theme there is a sense of light

The theme of Sound of Silence is alienation and lack of communication. From the darkness (my old friend) onwards it carries that theme and loneliness along. "In restless dreams I walked ALONE" Then the neon light splits the night and touches the sound of silence. The naked light show 10‚000 people (maybe more) talking without speaking and hearing without listening and writing songs that voices never shared (no one dared) because of the fear of breaking the silence. Then the writer steps in with

The Sound of Music The sound of music was by far the greatest musical success for the team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. I chose this musical because of the lyrical and musical talent of these two men. I have enjoyed watching this classic numerous time throughout the years due to my mother’s influence. She exposed my brother and I to many different types of music‚ teaching us to appreciate the style of each artist. The Sound of Music was directed and produced by Robert Wise‚ although he was not the
