The Historical Allegory in Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle An allegory is a story that has several and different meanings depending on the interpretation(s) given to it by the writer as well as the readers/audience. Writers are fond of using allegory to depict dangerous social, cultural, or, sometimes times, political issues affecting the people. In most instances, the hidden meaning in an allegory revolves around an influential person, a government, or other systems of leadership that cannot be confronted head-on by the writer. An allegory is thus rhetoric that writers and artists utilize when they intend to criticize their leaders but are fearful of harsh punishment that this may grant them.

Washington Irving is on such a writer who was replete in using allegory in conveying his views and scorning evil deeds…
Hoch’s and Picasso’s arts Hoch’s art is a presentation of a critique of modern life in German culture. Hoch presents their creativity in the form of magazine and newspaper collages, torn away from different papers and artistically put together in the design, then photographed as a whole. The piece of art was developed in the pre-war political environment of German culture. Picasso’s art, La Bouteille de Suze, uses the same technique to come up with a design of a suze bottle. Both artists present their pieces of art by obtaining paper works from newspapers and magazines. The artists use synthetic cubism to outline different political environments at the time of the creation of the artworks. Picasso uses the real-life press and other objects to bring out the period of the Parisian levity. Hoch uses paper works with real, recognizable people present in the Weimer politics of pre-war Germany. In the art, Hoch puts out a moving picture of the state of corruption and bias in the German culture at the time. Hoch uses cut paper from magazines to present modernity…

Deceiving nature and untrue promises of materialism Three broad ideas are notable from the class readings. They include the deceiving nature of nature and untrue promises of materialism, the white supremacy using and controlling hip hop to put people of color down continuously, and lastly, a repeated false becomes and facts in the minds of the audience. The three ideas will be discussed separately. Deceiving nature and untrue promises of materialism Part A: Contemporary society has made us believe that material possessions will automatically make us happy and healthy. People work hard to be financially stable and possess assets while ignoring simple things such as love, excellent relationship, ethical behavior, and humility because they have been made to believe that is where true happiness lives.

Does Video Game Music Enhance Player Experience in Video Games? Abstract Research on the psychology of music has shown different genres of music impact the listener’s emotional and cognitive state of mind. Do an individual’s psychomotor skills and performance have a bearing on music? The use of music in video games can be traced as far back as 1978 when chiptunes were used to the modern days when certain music genres are written specifically for specific video games. Most people do not understand how background music influences a player’s behavior, performance, and immersion experience in a video game. Therefore, a study is done to establish how background music in video games has been used to enhance player performance and influence their personality type through cognitive-training games. Introversion and extroversion cases are considered in cognitive-training games to gain an understanding of how music impacts the personality traits of players. Music conditions are considered in four categories (high tempo, medium tempo, low tempo, and silence). Data is collected based on player performance, their behavior during the game, the flow experience. This data…
