In My Experience: A Reflection on the Approach to Music Theory Never have I experienced a colder bucket of water to the face than when I had my first music theory class, ever. I’ll spare you the backstory and just say it did not go well for me at all. I thought I was learning the new information but instead I was a horse with blinders running a race where I had already been lapped three times and by the time I looked up I was lost. So now having taken this course and read this book excerpt I…

The Axe Effect advertisement, created by the Axe corporation, takes place in a dark and light contrasted locker room. The lockers are navy blue color. One of the lockers are open at the bottom. There is a man with a towel around his waist in front of the lockers. His body is half skinny and half obese. He seems to be spraying Axe deodorant on his body.The skinny man is very handsome and it can be inquired just from the context of the picture that the obese man is not as appealing as the skinny…

What I did This Summer This summer I did a lot of things, I traveled, went zip lining, and most importantly I spent time with family. This is probably one of the best summers I have ever had because my mom took off work to be with me and my brothers. Usually my dad stays home and he really isn't that fun. On the other half I got to go to my Dad's house because the way it goes for summers for me is that I have to do. The best thing I had to do all summer is I went to Alabama with my…

Hazel At lunch, I sat with Aera and Angel on the cement bench. We laughed as Angel showed us a video: Kermit Sings. “Dude,” Aera voiced. “This is everything.” Kermit sat on a stool, singing some rather disturbing songs to a group of children, driving one of them to tears. “Thanks for ruining my childhood,” I said after the video was over. “Any time,” Angel declared, cheerily. “I’m going to go find Jason and just scream ‘Billy!’” Aera laughed, jumping up to find Jason. “I wonder why I’m…

1. Flights of Fancy 2. “It’s really pretty straightforward: flight is freedom.” (136) 3. Foster explained in a story about people with “wings” and those “wings” provide freedom. However, with freedom comes the ones who abuse it. As you can see, the title of the chapter is Flights of Fancy which can explain the stereotypical snotty rich kid everyone hates. This is because rich people are fancy and rich people are very free, but can abuse their freedom to make the wings dirty, as Foster explained.…

The sudden shiver down the back. Nails dug deep into the palm. Eyes that are begging to be closed buy are wide open. That right there is the feeling of terror. Terror. The feeling that is carved but hated all at once. Yet, hating it is why it is craved. Stephen king knows much about this for being an author in the horror genre. By being an author of such, he is able to account for terror and why it is a good thing. In his essay, “Why We Crave Horror Movies” he explains the want/need for terror…

Dawn Stanyon once said, “It’s okay to not be perfect. It’s okay to make mistakes. It’s okay to do something that you hadn’t done, because if we don’t do those things, we never grow”. This quote fits the play of Hamlet, because despite Hamlet’s struggles he still manages to make it through the rough times in life. Throughout the play of Hamlet many things happen. At the beginning of the play Claudius (Hamlet’s uncle) kills king Hamlet (Hamlet’s father). Months after the king Hamlet's death Prince…

A Tossed Dog I walked outside, the evening was warm with a slight breeze, the sun low in the sky. A perfect evening, considering, it was mid fall. The leaves on Cottonwood tree in my front yard rustled and scratched dryly against each other in the light breeze. Since my parents were on vacation it was my job to do chores, although that was already my job. Nothing was amiss in my routine, and I was enjoying the wonderful weather. Suddenly, a shout came from the house, “Kendall, take Sadie along…

Ten Things Max Berardi Can’t Live Without My Cats My two cats, Gilbert and Lucie are two of the best things to happen in my life. I spend 20% percent of my day hanging out with them. They keep me joyful with their cuteness and silliness. They also preserve my happiness. I love my cats a great deal, they’re like siblings to me. Drawing set I love to draw and recently I got a new set before summer started. All my pencils and pencil crayons are already dull, art is my favourite pastime and is…

Change does not always have to be chased. In fact, change can happen without purpose or without realization, slipping under one's nose until it is too late, and the change has already happened. Small changes, preferences in music and movies, the way one wears their hair, the mannerisms in which they speak, these can all occur without realizing they have. "The bottom line is, time is a powerful force. It transforms our preferences. It reshapes our values. It alters our personalities. We seem to…
