e·mo·tion
əˈmōSH(ə)n/
noun
1.
a natural instinctive
state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with
others.
For this blog I would like to
change the definition of emotion. The dictionary
definition is seen above. Focusing
attention to “circumstances” it is possible to change ones state of mind
towards a subject. Please click on the
link below and have your volume up to listen to the music as you read the
selection. (You may need to right click to open it in a new tab)
Why are holidays in the United States being
removed? Are they too flamboyant and fun? Holidays should be embraced through
celebration for all cultures. People do not attempt to change national holidays
in other countries, therefore why should they be changed here?
Okay stop the music. Was the
previous piece fun and festive? I hope so. Now listen to the next piece and
read the selection.
Holidays in the United States are being
removed!! Some people claim that they are too flamboyant and fun! Why should we
remove holidays here?! Is it then a fair statement to say that all holidays in
other countries should be eliminated?! Holidays must be embraced!
Once
again stop the music. Here is one last
piece to listen to and read.
Holidays are fun. Why are people trying to
take away, what brings joy to millions of people every year? It saddens me to
have knowledge that holidays are being removed in the United States, while
other countries are allowed to keep them and enjoy.
Did you
evoke different emotions after each selection? If all three pieces were read
without music and had no grammar, they would all sound exactly the same. To conclude this blog, I would like to define
Emotion as a reaction to stimuli of
the senses.
I really enjoyed your inclusion of the music. The music and grammar really change the tone of the passages drastically. I just have to ask could stimuli be included by the term circumstances?
ReplyDeleteThat was really cool! Well done, my biggest wish was that the paragraphs were longer so that you could hear more of the music without seeing the next paragraph (I read quickly).
ReplyDeleteIt was also cool that the music was all pulled from the same movie.
Awesome idea with the music affecting responses to the written passages. I just realized why movies have so much music in them - the sound has a profound effect on the interpretation of the actions taking place.
