Clapping

face: it landed easily and he crumpled at my feet. The crowd cheered for me and I felt the passion for power that Linus had mentioned. Linus? Who? There he stood staring at me, clapping his hands. The arena had disappeared. We were in the alley. The boxer was again a bum. Bleeding and unconscious. And Linus clapping, clapping over and over again, drilling his approval into my brain. “Knew you had it in you, kid. Don 't know why, but I can just see that killer instinct in your eyes. Bet you…

Some of the football or hockey or baseball games that I have been to can be deafeningly loud but a tennis match never gets that loud. At high school or lower level matches there is only some light clapping. However at the college level and pro level matches there is lots of clapping, shouting and screaming. There is a vast difference between the two groups in terms of noise and excitement from the crowd watching the match. Lastly I noticed that almost no one is dressed formally when attending…

The first element of the reading process is phonological awareness, which is an auditory skill that requires children to analyses the sound of language into component sounds, before they begin the process of reading at the printed level (Matheson, 2005, p.22; Scull & Raban, 2016, p.153). For example, producing and identifying rhymes (such as how ‘mat’ rhymes with ‘sat’), isolating and segmenting letters and syllables (such as ‘n’ from ‘nose’), blending syllables, and exchanging sounds to make…

a guest saxophone soloist. It seemed as though all the other performers and the conductor looked up to him by how they looked at him with such great admiration. This piece also had a solo for almost all of the instruments, which lead to a lot of clapping during the piece. The most cheering for a solo was after the drum solo. Usually solos have other instruments still playing quietly underneath them, but the drum solo was just him, which was really cool to…

They began to get down then started rolling, the background music fell silent before they started clapping while moving. One of girls walked up to us and started speaking, which I couldn’t understand. They resumed the dance and they played as if sand was right in their hand! They paused for a moment then a second girl walked in front of us to speak again before returning to dance. They were clapping and dancing and then laid down. A third girl walked up and spoke before they clapped as they got…

originally not set to music as it was only singing and clapping of hands, which is called “toque de palmas”. Some flamenco dancing still follows the original tradition of not using music, but guitars and other musical instruments have become more popular in modern…

These pauses are long and are often filled in by clapping from the members in the audience. These dramatic pauses are meaningful due to the fact they are regularly used after a powerful statement. This not only allows time for the audience to soak in and think about what President Trump has just said, but it also makes the crowd feel acknowledged by him because he does not continue talking until all the clapping has ceased. This is different than Trump’s usual style of speaking…

A social interaction study was conducted within the Tyndale Christian Junior School that involved teaching two focus groups of five students how to make masquerade masks. The groups included both males and females within the ages of four to six. Upon the completion of this study, I learnt that while I communicate with people I change the way that I speak depending on who I am conversing with. When I spoke to the younger children my tone sounded much higher and I spoke at a slower and clearer…

When you’re in the car singing along to your favorite song or you’re at the store buying food and a song start playing over the radio you don’t stop and think about how or where music came to be. Not a lot of people know who first thought music or who produced the first song. Where did music come from? There are many scholars from around the world who are trying to figure out what the first type of music was and where it came from. A group of researchers found a flute in 2009 that was made…

fly swatting. It was a somewhat chilly morning when I was in English Language Arts minding my own business and a fly wanted to start beef with me. So rightfully I did the clap tactic where you hit the fly hard and fast with both your hands in the clapping motion. I was like a ninja in the night only taking the flies wings, but then he wouldn’t retreat so I promptly ended…
