Main Point? Q. So i'm reading "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" and I have to write an essay about Oliver Sacks' main point. Only I'm kind of confused as to why he wrote it. I'm thinking he's trying to say: : Although many people suffer from clinical illnesses, one illness doesn t affect two people the same way, and illnesses are not always seen as bad, sometimes they are helpful. ... was this what he was trying to say or am i just wrong ? lol haha could someone help me please? Asked by =D - Sun Oct 19 21:42:31 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think that it takes a look at some of the neurological illnesses that are not well understood, and shows that people who are considered severely handicapped in one aspect of their lives can be tremendously gifted in other areas, such as uncannily talented in music or mathematics. It reminds me in some ways of the book/movie A Beautiful Mind. Answered by Imaka - Mon Oct 20 20:02:10 2008 What is your ultimate goal in Music?
Q. I was reading the "Atlas de la Philosophie" and decided to get a little philosophical on my own. If I had the patience to really study an instrument well (as opposed to tinkling a bit on the piano as I do now), I would do it to show the outside world the beauty I see in music. I always say that my goal in art is to render every single one of my subjects as beautifully as I can so others can appreciate them, whether it is a photograph of an ugly man holding a cigarette on the street or a glamour shot of a gorgeous girl in a party dress. Photography is a mere fleeting impression of the subject - music is somewhat similar. I want to show people my impression of the music, how it has spoken to me, what it has done to me, how it has opened my… [cont.] Asked by Nathalie - Sat Oct 31 18:53:04 2009 - - 17 Answers - 0 Comments A. I wish only to serve the music. Some people dedicate their lives to religion, or medicine, or science... but I dedicate mine to music and art. Previously, my goal was to be a leading performer, and show the world all this beautiful music... because no matter how great the performer is, the music is always the 'secret.' But now, I am simply planning to become a music teacher, and try to still perform a little. I hope that I can influence at least one person, and am able to show them all this beauty that music offers... because music really is universal: Just look at us CM people. We are from all over the world and are all different ages (I think I am still the youngest D: ) and all have very different tastes... but that just highlights the… [cont.] Answered by MissLimLam - Sun Nov 1 03:40:08 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Oliver Sacks" Dr. Oliver W.
