          Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919)

            One thing is certain. The world war is a turning point. It is foolish and mad to imagine that we need only survive the war, like a rabbit waiting out the storm under a bush, in order to fall happily back into the old routine once it is over. The world war has altered the conditions of our struggle and, most of all, it has changed us. Not that the basic law of capitalist development, the life-and-death war between capital and labor, will experience any amelioration. But now, in the midst of the war, the masks are falling and the old familiar visages smirk at us. The tempo of development has received a mighty jolt from the eruption of the volcano of imperialism. The violence of the conflicts in the bosom of society, the enormousness of the tasks that tower up before the socialist proletariat – these make everything that has transpired in the history of the workers’ movement seem a pleasant idyll.

            The reason that I chose this paragraph because it's explain how after and during a war there isn't any change made politically to help the working class that is the (proletarian class). What change is the struggle that the proletarian undergo because of the spread of power in which what the volcano of imperialisms represents. Struggle is all a work of life that consist of the middle of the war and post war too

M Movie #7

Rossy Jerez                                                         Due 3/22/14

   M MOVIE

            The reason that I chose that scene is because it's showed me that even though a person isn't born with sight, their other senses are much stronger. For instance, the blind old man recognizes the murderer by the sound of his whistle and tells a young man who marks the murderer with an M on his back. The M made the murderer of Elsie Beckman stand out to the public, which leads to the imprisonment of the murderer by the police.

           

         This scene is important to me because it shows how even people with disabilities can help a community. The old blind man and his recognition of the murderer's whistle prevented what could have lead to the death of more young children. Although the only type of communication the murderer had with the blind man was by the purchase of balloons from the murderer for the young victims, it was clear to the blind man that he was the murderer. The police did not recognize who the murderer was until the blind man and his friend target the individual.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

SCENE:ACT II

I chose this scene because it really impressed me and caught my attention.

While Alan was asleep in his bed, a shadow appearedon his wall. The shadow was Cesare.

Alan and Cesare then began tussling .  Cesare then stabbed Alan to death.

Mr. Franciz, Alan’s best friend was informed by a neighbor that Alan was murdered.

It was Mr. Franciz who remembered the rebumliastphrophecy from earlier. When Alan

asked Cesare how long will he live, Cesare replied” until dawn”. Just then, that’s when

Mr. Franciz realized that  the murderer must be Cesare the dummy of Dr. Calgari

My interpretation of the scene was that you can see the fear in Alan’s eyes when he awoke

to some footsteps in his room.  Alan’s eyes represented that he realized that his time of death

has come.  You can see that Alan is very afraid and tussles with the murderer to try to save his

own life.  He tries to fight off the murderer by tussling with him, but loses the battle.  The shadow

shows him being stabbed to death then sprawled out on his bed.

This scene is related to the painting  “The Hand has Five Fingers,"  by John Heartfield (born

Helmut Herzfeld), 1928 paint by that time which showed to me the same expression as the

scene. Where it expresess fear, scare, and the anxiety.

Night Ghost (Nachtgespenst)

When the housewife chains the hallway door at night, I’m standing right outside.
Without hurry, I file the chain away, and there I am.
As the daughter is putting on her nightgown, I enter her room.
I feel sorry for her.
I’m the night ghost, your sweet night ghost,
I wake you up each time you call me your darling.
Don’t be so scared, it’s only me waking you.
And after you have been uncovered,
you will get tucked in again.
When I climb through the window,
I have no interest in taking your jewels,
Only your ivory skin appeals to me.
As a night ghost I don’t take any shiny jewels;
only enough for the return fare.

English

My interpretation of this song is that when the women goes to bed at night with her husband by

her side, calling him darling. He disappears at night checking on her and making sure that she is

Sound asleep before he leaves out the window at night, not leaving any evidence of his disappearance.

He returns before dawn when she awakes.

No Time (KeineZeit)                                                 Rossy Jerez

There may still be those who live unhurried lives
and don’t care about the hectic pace of these times.
Those who are not yet wildly obsessed
as they devour food from vending machines and make themselves sick.
However, in these frantic times, you meet few of these unhurried people.
Nowadays you stand at the vending machine,
with the token in your trembling paws.
You insert the coin, the tray revolves, and you take some bread.
Then you eat the roll at a frantic pace,
because hundreds of others are right behind you.
You chew and you chew without peace and rest
because there is a voice telling you:
"Insert token, take out bread,
for the food might soon be sold out."
One eats without finesse.

English

My interpretation of this song is that people are rushing to eat on their lunch hours. They running to get to vending machine before the food runs out. They eat in a rush to get back to work before their

time is up.

German

Meine Interpretation dieses Liedesist, dass Menschen hetzen, um in der MittagsStundenessen. SieläuftbiszumAutomatenzubekommen, bevor das Essen ausgeht. Sieessen in Eile, um wiederzuarbeiten, bevorihre

Paragraph 175 (Interpretation)

English

This is related to Night Ghost because in my interpretation is that the women goes to bed at night with her husband she  not knowing he is a sexual predator who preys at night leaving out the through the window to molest other individual and returning by dawn before his wife awakes.

Assignment # 2                          Rossy Jerez

Data Manifesto (1916, Hugo Ball)

It will serve to show how articulated language comes into being. I let the vowels fool around. I let the vowels quite simply occur, as a cat meows . . . Words emerge, shoulders of words, legs, arms, hands of words. Au, oil, uh. One shouldn't let too many words out. A line of poetry is a chance to get rid of all the filth that clings to this accursed language, as if put there by stockbrokers' hands, hands worn smooth by coins. I want the word where it ends and begins. Dada is the heart of words.

A German man who wrote the Data Manifesto was known by Hugo Ball. Mr. Ball descriptive the way he stared seem his life. This quotes meaning to me, that when people talk they should let the word out with the feeling to express themselves because that way one can be heard. However, voices come from in different types of language from the baby vowels and to an elderly expression and sound. In other words, Language also can be expressed in another type of behavior such as face expression, body movement, body emotion like, when a person cry, scream, laughter, angrier, happy, even when they sleeping they are doing some vowel sound or movement in which they express their feeling, emotion no matter what kind of language that person speaks, or race, gender. He believed when people feel to give the rhythm of the vowel they let the voice flow normally.

Hugo in this world you have a fan. I personal agree with this quote about letting your voice express your feeling, expressions and thoughts.  This quote is related to me in my present life in many different ways.Example, The joy and loud laughter when giving birth to my children.  The sounds of cries when the passing of my sister in an airplane crash. The yells of excitement seeing my children take their first steps.

Picture Assignment

Three Pictures Assignment 

Picture #1           

“Still Life with Melons and Peaches, “Monet 1866” 

 

Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840, and died on December 5, 1926.

Claude Monet found French Impressionist painting.  He began painting at the age of 11 and at the age of 16 left to Paris to pursue his career in art.

Claude Monet reason for painting food was when his wife passed away and he was going through times of poverty, he planted his own garden to survive. From then he decided to paint all the beautiful foods he grew in his garden to show how grateful he was.

Claude Monet used oil paint and canvass

In this painting I can see the orange color of the Melon, and peaches. The green color of the grapes, also the white wall in the back of the table. Something else that I see is the beautiful print design plate against the wall with royal blue color and white.

   

Picture #2   "The Scream” (1893)     

Edvard Munch was born on December 12, 1863, in Lotern, Norway and Died on January 23, 1944. Munch came from a big family in which he was the second of five children. In 1864 His family decided to move to the city of Oslo, where it was the beginning of his nightmare and tragedies. For instance, in 1868 his mother died, 1877 his sister Sofia died, and few years later his only brother died too. His other sister was institutionalized most of her time suffering from mental illness.

By 1879 Munch began attending the technical college to study engineering. But, one year later he became interested in art. In 1881 he attended the Royal school of Art and Design.  In 1893 he painted "The Scream" where he express the inner feeling and emotions through the art work

"The Scream” (1893) is one of the most famous Art of Edvard Munch in till today.

 Picture #3

         The Starry Night byVan Gogh

This Painted was made in June 1889,

 Van Gogh was born 30 March 1853 and died 29 July 1890.

Starry Night is a painting by the impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh. It portray the vision of outside through hishospital room window located in southern France at night, even though it was painted from memory during the day. The paint is Van Gogh's most well-known works and marks a decisive turn towards greater imaginative freedom in his art.Van Gogh spent his early years working for a firm of art dealers, even those his father wanted him to be working in a family business. But that wasn't the job that VanGogh wanted to do. He wanted to be painter to express himself.

The meaning of this picture in my interpretation is of someone standing on a mountain or tall building looking down at the town at night with the moon and the stars out.  The swirl is the earth moving and the wind blowing a night breeze.

Siddhartha# 3

Rossy Jerez

Assignment #3

Siddhartha (1922) by Hermann Hesse

But now, his liberated eyes stayed on this side, he saw and became aware of the visible, sought to be at home in this world, did not search for the true essence, did not aim at a world beyond. Beautiful was this world, looking at it thus, without searching, thus simply, thus childlike. Beautiful were the moon and the stars, beautiful was the stream and the banks, the forest and the rocks, the goat and the gold-beetle, the flower and the butterfly. Beautiful and lovely it was, thus to walk through the world, thus childlike, thus awoken, thus open to what is near, thus without distrust. Differently the sun burnt the head, differently the shade of the forest cooled him down, differently the stream and the cistern, the pumpkin and the banana tasted. Short were the days, short the nights, every hour sped swiftly away like a sail on the sea, and under the sail was a ship full of treasures, full of joy.

The passage:

                This passage is saying that Siddhartha began to see things for what they simply appear to be instead of analyzing everything that surrounds him.  Siddhartha's curiosity and intend to search for answers has vanished because he is now seeing things from a different perspective.  He sees how beautiful things come into view and how wonderful it makes him feel.This is what Siddhartha has traded his questioning for. He looked at flowers and butterflies like a child would and was open to whatever life presented to him. Therefore, Siddhartha lived life as it happened, giving him a sense of happiness and joy.

Hesse and Nietzsche had similar interpretations about one’s religion .Both protested against religion. Hesse believed that everything in the universe from a small insect to human nature was important and should be thought of just as equal in the world. Just because one studies the word of god as a father, does not make you better than someone with or without a religious title or nonreligious belief.

This passage is important to me:

                This passage is important to me because I never see things just for what they are. I usually still feel curious of how many things came about to this world. When I read this quote I thought about how I want to see things when I become an elderly person. I want to spend the last years of my life stepping back from what I want to know. It would be great to one day live life fulfilling my senses.
