It’s also resilient to several common disinfectants. Animals develop the disease from infested ticks. The microorganism can furthermore contaminate pets, including cats, dogs, and rabbits. “These animals transmit the bacteria through their urine, feces, milk, and birthing products-such as the placenta and amniotic fluid.” When these…

life is for. Walden is about the impossibility of an unlived life, if you so chose to get out and live. Stop letting simple days under a mundane sky be what defines you. Open up to new and extravagant detail, a kaleidoscope of ability. When time ticks away, let go of should’ve, would’ve, could've. Instead did, done, and will do can be written across your bucket list. Pursuing your passions is easy as long as you have the means to do so and a full heart. Walden speaks to living a divine…

reminding the guest that they cannot escape it. The clock is in the seventh room this is also ironic because the seventh room means death; ending of life. Poe writes, "And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay.” It ticks and tocks to count what precious time the guest have left in their lives.

The first selection of the evening was Band of Brothers by Micheal Kamen. This song has an intense melody with rhythmic harmony throughout the performance. The song has a very uplifting tempo that drove it along. Near the end of the song, the tempo slows down and then picks back up to create a grand finale. The triumphant sound created by the percussions was very influential to me, and made me think of unity. As the different instruments meshed together to create a beautiful sound this caused me…

Still, these two examples prove minimal when compared to the horrendous onslaught that became my English 101…
