Violin String Monologue

Improved Essays
The melodious sting
Of a violin string
Sorrowfully plays
Through a saddened haze
As we say farewell
To one who played it well

His final song
Will linger on
In our hearts and minds
Over time
As we remember when
The songs were played by Glen

    “This work tells the night of transition of a beloved familiar of mine, on a night in a hospital. With no dramatic or compassionate intention, I created "La Noche" to amplify our separation and our unitive annihilation, like a song whispered in the ear of the one who goes, and the one who stays. An ode to everything we experience on this loss, and everything that we know stay forever when the body of the beloved is gone. This song should be heard by night, in absolute darkness with headphones, to obey the sound after initial resistance.…

    A Tear For The Terror Of Time Death: an experience more frightful to the mind second hand, leaving the mind bemused and adrift in the realm of thought. The human mind goes through certain proceedings to help grapple with the suddenness of the unexpected tragedy. In Steve Minor’s “I Cried Of Course,” Minor uses visual effects, music, and writing to express feelings of vulnerability during the event of a death. Using melancholy visual depictions and music, Minor conveys the helplessness of humans in the face of death and the eventual, compulsory acceptance of the loss thereon. Using somber images and slow, doleful music, Minor creates the feeling of sadness that humans inevitably encounter when confronting such a tragedy.…

    I still couldn’t believe it had been ten whole years since I had moved from this place, but I just couldn’t get the memories out of my head.

As I walked through the neighborhood I could still see everything as it was ten years ago, even though this Norvelt was so new and different in many ways.…

    The screeching of my violin echoed off the wall as I struggled to play Mendelssohn's concerto in E minor. The double stops that were meant to flow in harmony came out in a jumbled mass of notes indistinguishable from the shriek of a dying cow. I whimpered as these terrible sounds emitted out of my violin, and threw my violin down in defeat. I slowly tilted my head towards the clock, a terrifying reminder that my addition was only 10 min away. I gathered up my music, and ambled away from the empty practice room to where my judge would listen to my audition.…

    In “Morning in the Burned House,” Margaret Atwood suggests that when recalling the past there is a tendency for a person to desire dwelling in the past instead of living in the present, therefore there must be a destructive force in order to reinforce reality and continue progress. The author of the poem carefully chose the title as it reveals a lot about the entire meaning of the poem. Atwood used words such as morning, burned, and house in the title. Morning might be a connotation of a new beginning or a symbol of hope, but it is the opposite of its homonym, “mourning,” which is usually attached to grief or sorrow.…
