Village Infrastructure

testguy6 — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 12:32:47 +0000

[This should be in Class 3] The Village is a self-contained society, and appears to be mostly self-sufficient as well, although no farming areas are ever seen, so it appears that food and supplies are shipped in from outside. It is sprawling enough to contain several hundred prisoners, in a comfort level similar to that of a hotel or a resort. The Village has its own daily newspaper, (The Tally-ho), a cinema, a statue garden, a retirement home, a gymnasium, a fully equipped hospital, taxi service, a radio station (like Orwell’s telescreens in Nineteen-Eighty-Four, the receivers can never be turned off), a television studio (used mostly for news reports and announcements), a restaurant, a music shop, several other stores, and its own graveyard. In addition, there were extensive recreation facilities. The local economy functions on a credit chit system. The final episode also revealed that the Village conceals a missile or rocket launch facility deep underground.

This is interesting news!

[This is a News item] Number 6 typically wears a very deep brown jacket with white piping trim, a dark blue or black mock-turtleneck shirt, tan slacks, black boating shoes with white soles, and usually forsakes his “6″ ID badge.

Little is known about Number 6’s background other than that he fought in a war and was born on March 19, 1928. He refuses to reveal the reason behind his resignation, despite constant efforts by Number 2 to get this information from him.

Number 6 initially spends his energy seeking ways to escape, and later in the series turns his attention to finding out more about the Village and its unseen rulers. His attempts are easily rebuffed by Village authorities. However, their efforts to extract information necessitate increasingly drastic measures through the course of the series.

The later episodes feature fewer escape bids and more psychological themes such as the nature of power and authority, and their relationship with liberty. His cunning and defiance only increase while in captivity: in Hammer Into Anvil he reduces Number 2 to a mad, paranoid wreck through deception. As the Number 2s become more coercive and desperate, Number 6’s behaviour becomes progressively sharp, uncompromising, and eccentric.

Hey, look! It’s the quadratic equation! How exciting is that???

And here’s a study question!

A summary of class today

[This is a Class 1 item] A Night in Tunisia is a musical composition written by Dizzy Gillespie in 1942 while he was playing with the Earl Hines Band. It is also known as Interlude, under which title it was recorded (with lyrics) by Sarah Vaughan. Gillespie himself called the tune Night in Tunisia.

A Night in Tunisia, along with Manteca, was one of the signature pieces of Gillespie’s bebop big band, and he also played it with his small groups. One of its most famous performances is Charlie Parker’s recording for Dial (Dial even released a fragmentary take of it simply titled “The Famous Alto Break”); it also became closely identified with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, who often gave showstopping performances of it with extra percussion from the entire horn section.

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

[This is a Class 2 item] While he is sailing, Sinbad comes across a golden tablet dropped by a mysterious flying creature, which he decides to use as an ornament on his necklace. That night, Sinbad has a strange dream, where he sees a man dressed in black, repeatedly yelling Sinbad’s name. Sinbad also sees a mysterious girl with an eye-tattoo on her right palm. The next day, Sinbad’s ship is brought to a coastal town in the country of Marabia by a mysterious force.

I and the Village

[This is a Class 2 item] I and the Village is an early surrealist painting by the Belarussian-born French artist, Marc Chagall. It is currently exhibited at the New York Museum of Modern Art.
Painted on oil in 1911, the artwork features many soft, dreamlike images overlapping each other: in the foreground, what appears to be a cap-wearing green-faced man stares intimately at a goat or a sheep with a smaller goat being milked in its cheek. In the background, there is a glowing tree, a bunch of houses next to an Orthodox church, and a female violinist is dangling upside down in front of a black-clothed man with a scythe. I and the Village seems to examine the relationship between the artist and his place of birth.

[This is a News item] Harry Houdini was born into a Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary. His given name is found spelled differently in different sources and also his birth date is uncertain. However, years after his death a copy of his birth certificate was found and published in The Houdini Birth Research Committee’s Report (1972).

According to that original source, he was born on March 24, 1874 as Erich Weisz. Houdini himself spelled his name Ehrich Weiss, as can be seen from this letter to his mother. As to his birth date, from 1900 onwards Houdini claimed in interviews to have been born in Appleton, Wisconsin on April 6, 1874.
