The first song is ‘Voiles’ composed by Claude Debussy. It is a 20th century piece in the Impressionism genre. There is only a piano in this piece, which is unique to the whole tone or Diatonic scale harmony used by Debussy. There are three melodic ideas presented throughout the piece.

Behind my old tan house on McClure road is an open opportunity to have as much fun as you want, and as a kid I took advantage of that. I loved going out to just use my senses and explore.

Who knew such little animals could make so much noise! Sometimes I even thought they were bears! I never did see…

Andrea Palpant Diley in the start of her book focuses a lot on the concept of what I call a dependent child 's faith. She shares many stories from her childhood that shaped her life and the one about the hitchhiker really drew my attention.

Leo stood at the helm of the Argo II. He was thinking about Calypso, obviously. He thought about the things he and Aphrodite had talked about a few days ago. Aphrodite slowly led him into the dining hall and then she sat down regally on one of the chairs. "Sit down," She said to him with a smile on her face. As Leo slowly sat down on the edge of one of the chairs, she ran her hand through her long auburn curls. "You know Leo, you and Calypso make a good couple." She looked at him an amused…

But there will be a trail - e-mails, calls... - She might have another phone. - It would be the smart move.…

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Dave Eggers takes on a vastly different writing style than most audiences are used to. With his satirical, stream of consciousness technique of narrating the events of his life, Eggers is definitely a man of detail in vivid depictions of events and his thoughts along the way. Though Dave frequently gives readers an almost troublingly detailed recount of what he’s been through, there are instances in which Dave more subtly involves us in his narrative.…
