Operas=disturbed thinking

Today in class we listened to an opera about two women who are picking flowers in a garden, talking about their up coming wedding. Now in a normal class, this would just be an extremely boring song, but knowing our class, and how we react to things, the creativity was off the charts. I personally thought of someone using this music to try and fall asleep. While others thought of something as small as the singer Meatloaf, who used to sing opera, to something a big as Hannibal Lecter killing someone while listening to this. No matter how odd or how out of the norm these ideas were, the range of different ideas shows our creativity. If we had a study of 100 students, and asked them what they thought when listening to this, most likely, there wouldn’t be same answers. That’s the beauty of people being their own person, is that they’ll always have their own view on subjects, no matter what everyone else thinks. Unfortunately, when people conform to others, they will usually lose their own views and morals just so they can fit in with the group. When we use our imaginations and creativity, we use what is called Rhetoric. We can use anything to persuade someone, because even though it isn’t words, you can always read someone by their emotions and possessions. When Ben was given the task of displaying emotions based on certain events that happened, it was easy to see all of the emotions he had, but it was extremely hard to tell what made him express those emotions. Also going off of what Professor Morris said about how classroom environments need to be changed. Like honestly, who wants to sit in a dull, boring classroom with a very mono-toned professor for 50 minutes or and hour and 20 minutes. I know that in all of my other classes, that’s exactly how it is. The professor tries to crack a joke here and there to lighten the mood, but all of their jokes are usually so involved with the subject their teaching, that they are unfunny, and just drags on your brain if you try to figure it out.
