Maggie Mccormick: An Analysis
Despite the fact that I, Maggie McCormick, am not the most talented musician out of my fellow sopranos, I believe that I should be permitted to attend the choral festival because it would help me to grow as a musician, it would be a great opportunity for me to develop greater bonds with my fellow attendees, and it would be a fantastic learning experience to hear the way each choir from the southeast sounds. To become a better musician is my top priority. It has been my main goal since my musical career began, and I have constantly considered ways to help myself improve by observing my peers around me. From the time I actually began to learn and pay attention, I realized that I have learned more with watching, rather than listening or being

    The reason this conversation remains is because it is not possible to prove any thing scientifically. As Maggie Cutler wrote in The Nation ‘One of the reasons so many media violence studies have been done is that the phenomenon may be too complex to study conclusively. There’s no way, after all, to lock two clones in a black box, feed them different TV, movie and video-game diets and open the box years later to determine that, yes, it was definitely those Bruce Lee epics that turned clone A into Jesse Ventura, while clone B’s exposure to the movie Babe produced a Pee Wee Herman.” (Cutler) This quote explains the difficultly of proving this relationship, because we can not measure against a clean sample. This means that there are no…

    Karen Horney defines a basic anxiety as insidiously increasing, all pervading feeling of being lonely and helpless in a hostile world” (Horney, 1937, p.89). When a child experiences basic anxiety they can develop self defense mechanisms. These self defense mechanisms can become very common throughout the child’s life. So common in fact, that they become a permanent part of one’s personality and become a neurotic need. Horney developed a list of ten neurotic needs that could be categorized into three neurotic trends: moving towards other people (the complaint personality), moving against other people (the aggressive personality) and movement away from other people (the detached personality) (Shultz & Shultz, 2013, p.164). An apparent connection can be drawn between Horney’s neurotic trends and Timothy Keller’s chapter “The Seduction of Success” in his book Counterfeit Gods. According to Keller, “a sign you may…

    Overall, I enjoyed my attendance at the concert choir held at Benedictine University. The show was well done and I could tell that the members of the choir worked very hard in preparation. Although there were eight songs, the concert went by fairly quick. There was only one baby grand piano in the middle of the stage, but other than that, it was interesting to see that no other instruments were used except for their own voices and they were able to project an excellent performance for the…

    Many times the thoughts and works of great authors and writers are published before the general public is ready for the graphic images that these works create. Only after society has become more accepting of situations over time, can these works truly be appreciated instead of facing disapproval from society. Tragically, often times it takes many years and countless hours of revisions to tone down the work to fit within the moral mold that society creates for itself. Stephen Crane was one of those authors who wanted to use his works to show his readers and the general population the things that are often just swept under the rug. In Maggie: A Girl of the Streets by Stephen Crane, many controversial topics are addressed which led to problems with publication.…

Since joining Corrosion, my interest in the entertainment industry, especially the musical aspects of it, has brought forth new ideas and questions. Questions like, "How much should professional recording cost?" and, "How would someone break into the industry and where would you start?". These are the questions that drive me to be a better musician.
