On Monday, I had the pleasure of attending the Voice Majors Recital. This was the first concert/recital that I have attended at Queens College. I walked into the concert hall expecting to see a performance by a large choir. However, I was pleasantly surprised when the first performer walked onto the stage by herself. When the pianist started playing, I looked into the program and noticed the first song was in Italian. Katerina Hadjipavlis, the soprano soloist, began to and it was amazing! I…

When considering what makes a suitable leader, what comes to mind? A good leader might be someone who leads as a good example or gives someone else an arm to lean on. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Ralph is the leader of many british schoolboys stranded on an island. Ralph is the best picked leader for the boys and his rival, Jack, would never be able to fill his shoes. Once the boys crash landed on the island, they needed someone to lead them in this new, strange territory. A…

life. I was simply excited to get a little fresh air, and I had no idea that my entire concept of 9/11 was about to radically shift. We shuffled into the entrance of the memorial, hardly interested, overwhelmingly happy to be off the bus. As my choir broke off into smaller groups, a few friends and I wandered to the location where the towers stood. In the exact place the Twin Towers used to be is now a waist-high wall outlining the place of each of the towers; with a deep, square hole…

comes to school social environment, I would say my child is adapting fairly well. He is part of the children’s choir at school. He occasionally helps out in his classroom. In addition, has decided to be a part of the boy’s scout. B. Similarly, in peer group settings, Kareem is well adapted. He is cooperative, respects the rights and possessions of others. He had joined several clubs like choir because his best friend and few neighborhood children are taking part in that activity. C.…

The group is particularly active during the holiday season because of the commercialism and consumerism now associated with this time of year. Billy and his choir often…

There are a variety of similar novels that are written with the same theme or purpose, but yet they're so different in the way they capture the theme through their writing. In the novel the Lord Of The Flies by William Golding and the “Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Stetson, both authors have the shared theme of isolation and a perspective of civilization. The Lord of the Flies shows the theme of civilization on the island beginning to deteriorate. Seen by how the boys start to break the…

because instead of saying “peace be with you,” the congregants would introduce themselves to each other, or if they know the people around them, they would talk about how their weeks went. This was to help them receive the social dimension. Next the choir sang “Take Me Back, O Hills I Love” this song was to get people to focus back on the mass. The Reverend Rankin gave the call of worship, which was just used to start the mass, and get the congregants to feel more in touch with the church and…
