Readaloud—Which famous celebrity wrote this story? Little Jay's mom is maniacally thrifty, his dad is extravagant, and little Jay always seems to be caught in the middle. So when Jay's dad decides that his next big "project" is going to be an ENORMOUS barbecue patio, the only way it's going to happen is if Jay, their neighbors, and Bruce, the laziest dog in America, help him out. When the party to launch the patio arrives, there's more food than anyone could eat, and at the center is a HUGE roast beef that Jay would do anything to get a taste of.

Jones 1 Tracy Jones Mr. K. Smith ENG-4GN January 2006 The Many Facets of Taboo The World Book Encyclopedia defines Taboo as "an action, object, person, or place forbidden by law or culture." As pointed out in the Occultopedia, another word for taboo is "tabu" a Polynesian word meaning that which is banned. The Occultopedia also points out that taboo is found among many other cultures including the ancient Egyptians, Jews and others. Mary Douglas has analyzed the many facets and interpretations of taboos across various cultures. In her view, taboos could be considered a kind of "brain-washing" as they are transmitted to individuals along with an entire cultural system made up of a pattern of values and norms. In reference to Freak Shows at circuses, an interesting observation is made that people who possess uncommon features and who willingly go out in public to display such oddities to onlookers are acting as "modern-day taboo breakers" by crossing the "final boundary between societal acceptance and ostracism." In traditional British East Africa, between the time of puberty and marriage, a young Akamba girl must maintain an avoidance relationship with her own father (). Looking at taboo in a modern society, Marvin Harris gives an interesting example of the application of cultural materialism to the Hindu taboo against eating beef.

Page Numbers: Other classical composers had an effect on Mendelssohn's music as well. Mendelssohn quoted Mozart's “Jupiter” Symphony in the ending of his Die bieden Padagogen. Beethoven's instrumental technique was a powerful influence on Mendelsssohn's works for a full symphony orchestra. And Mendelssohn's personal stylistic traits show a freer adaptation of many other classical forms So how can we classify Felix Mendelssohn's work? His style is somewhat Romantic, fairly neo- Classical, and wholly his own. Harris referred to him as a “Romantic Classicist”. This melding of styles is what made his music what it is.
