Accordion

One of my favorite songs is Vienna, by Billy Joel. I like the message of slow down, you have your whole life. After the second verse there is an interesting accordion solo.

The vocal flourishes at the end of each verse provide a smooth transition into the chorus or next verse. The instrumentals do a good job of keeping the listener in…

Other examples of symbols, to which you might want to pay attention when you read the book, are the seven-sided dice, colours and books. In…

Production design is one of my favorite parts of film analysis. I love the meaning and symbolism behind even the smallest of detail; all of which help bring the film to life. In The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, Directed by Roy Rowland, you can see the amazing effect of production design through the colors, architecture, and clothing; creating the theme “Do the unthinkable with the unthinkable” The coloring in the movie was very bright and seemingly harsh to our eyes. It gave the world an almost…

Tigger, who lives in a treehouse high up in the trees signified how his ego of being the “only tigger” is very prevalent. Out of all the characters, Tigger was always the one that appealed to me. His bright, coat of orange and black alongside his accordion-like tail were such good portrayals of Tigger’s spirited and energetic character. I eventually stopped watching Winnie the Pooh,…

uncomfortable summer day in July. As Serdamoir kept walking he began to notice there were no popcorn machines making a snap, pop sound. There were no hot dog vendors yelling bratwurst, bratwurst, get your bratwurst here. There were neither a trumpet nor accordion nor the big bass guitar playing. As Serdamoir continued he would envision streamer ribbons of many colors and shades, of pink, purple, green, black and some white. People dancing joyously and not a frown in site. Serdamoir with a…
