A major interval is when the higher note is in the scale of the bottom note. Example. C to E is a major (3rd) interval because the note F is in the C major scale, but A to G is not a major interval because G is not in the A major scale, if it was A to G# then it would be a major (7th) interval because G# is in the A major scale.

A minor interval (natural minor, no raised 7th) is exactly the same but you can think of it in 2 ways

1. the upper note is in the minor scale of the lower note e.g. A to F is a minor (6th) interval because the note F is in the A minor scale (not A major).

2. The upper note is a semitone down from the major scale of the lower note. Eg. G to F is a minor (7th) interval, because G to F# is a major (7th) interval and F is a semi tone down from F#, it is therefore minor.

Intervals that are Unisons, 4ths, 5ths, and Octaves or 8ths are neither major or minor because the upper note is in both the minor and major scale of the lower note, they are called 'perfect'

What is the difference between the story Romeo and Juliet than from the movies?

I know one difference is that in most productions of the play, if not all, they do not show or mention Paris being killed by Romeo in Juliet's tomb. Another one that might be obvious is that the most recent movie takes place in modern time, they just use the old language. for example, they have guns that say "sword" on them as in "sword" is the brand, but instead, they symbolize the swords in the play.

Why do people say rango when you say or ask something obvious?

The game is called "rango". When someone asks you an obvious question and you answer it, they say "rango"... the goal of the "game" is to try and trick the person you are playing with so they answer your obvious question and you can say "rango"... However, If they ask you an obvious question and you reply with "rango", they lose. Example: "Why is it so HOT?!" "I don't know." "RANGO."
