My Favorite Class Claims

These are my top five favorite claims that other students in my class made for their projects:

1) In this scene from Nick Cannons film Drumline, the aggressive and alert style, quick, narrow movement, and percussive, thundering rhythm expresses an alive sense of energetic celebration and modest jubilation.
          - Case 1

2)Phantom Regiment's professional execution of the contrast between powerful, fortissimo fast-paced, militaristic style and the more lyrical, graceful, slow ballad underscores the emotional contrast between vengeful violence and sorrowful lost love.
          - A Scrap of Parchment

3) On the album cover of Titus Andronicus's "The Airing of Grievances," the commanding, classic font and layout of the cover, as well as the cluttered and colorful use of space in the photograph convey the band's homely practice environment and admiration for the old-fashioned symbols of history.
          - The New Zealander

4)In this dance routine, the modern, pounding sound of the drums, the intence and piercing facial expressions and the alive, over the top arm movements creates a sense of fragile chemistry between two people that are desperate yet indecisive at the same time.
          - True Story

5)The sweet tasing sensation of a skittle releases a flavor of fruitiness drowing all your taste buds in a pool of heaven. The numerous amount of these miniture, round, chewy candies create a rainbow effect in your mouth when devoured.
          -Peanut Butter without the Jelly



These are my two favorite artifacts that other students chose to do a close reading on

1)  A Photograph of a Ballet Dancer
          - Eddie

2) Phantom Regiment - Sparticus 2008
          - A Scrap of Parchment

My favorite claim is Case 1's statement on the movie Drumline, and my favorite artifact is A Scrap of Parchment's choice of Phantom Regiment's 2008 show.  Obviously, I'm in the marching band.
