Wake up in the morning, pop my ankles. Sit down to eat breakfast, pop my back. Go to school and sit at a desk for an hour, pop my neck. You could say that “popping” has become a bad habit. Sometimes I will pop my knuckles consciously, while other times, the need comes absentmindedly. Every time I lay down for bed I pop my toes…weird I know, but popping has become a part of me. Why you might ask? Cracking and popping used to be something I did when I was bored or nervous. Now, it is just a way…

The growl was closer. Gabe opened his eyes and raised his rifle, holding it ready to fire. The warm fire, the sweet wine, and the steady rain had made him forget and dose. This time he threw a handful of rock dust toward the eyes and heard the animal snort and crash down the hill in the brush. At least, he knew the animal was a black bear. Rubbing his face with his dusty hand, he sat upright. For a minute he stared at the dying coals, then rushed to build the fire back up. Satisfied, he moved to…

“Who’s there?” Sam shouted into the darkness that lay in front of her. She waited for an answer, but could not hear anything over the sound of her heart beating. The Collins’ carpeted floor cushioned Sam’s feet. Even though she could see nothing, Sam knew this house well enough to know where she was. She could register what surrounded her without actually being able to see. Sam knew the way out from her current location, but she needed to find the boys first. Surrounded by complete silence she…

The one quote that summarizes this whole book completely, comes pretty late during the analysis. “Music may be the activity that prepared our pre-human ancestors for speech communication and for the very cognitive, representational flexibility necessary to become humans.” (Daniel J. Levitin, 260.) This quote pretty much expresses the full meaning of this book, which is to explain the innate importance and development of music. This quote is received when the argument about how music has evolved…

The sound effects in Star Wars illuminated the entire film, making it a gifted piece of art. Star Wars has such incredible sound effects that it is hard to compare another film to it. Jurassic Park, directed Colin Trevorrow can rival with the sound effects performed in the Star Wars movies. See a sound; hear a sound. Every time you see some action on the screen, your mind expects there to be a complimentary sound. The Foley artists from each film were exceptionally creative when they were…

There was a rough breeze blowing in my face, and it was a cold day. The leaves were just starting to fall off of the trees. It was a nice fall day in my backyard, and I was flying my new drone higher than I've ever flown it before. It’s height was about two times the size of my house and it looked about a centimeter wide from where I was standing. I was just thinking of how great this video would be that I was getting when suddenly, the drone jerked backward. I tried to make it come back to me…

I open my eyes to a dark room. Amber light weakly spills through the gaps of the thick grey curtains, outlining the familiar shapes of college dorm furniture. My ears prick up. The low rumbling hum of an exhausted, old vacuum echoes in the distance along with something more harmonious and lovely. Each word passionately hangs in the air, “Quien es el hombre que la eleva a las estrellas quien de los dos la hizo sentirse más mujer…” The powerful melody of a Spanish ballad becomes my daily wake up…

How many times have you been talking with someone and they act like they were not listening to you? I can say that this has happened to me quite a lot. The person I was talking to seem uninteresting in what I was saying or seemed like they were disengaged. Do you remember how it made you feel? I can say that it made me feel confused and even angry. That’s why active listening is very important to our clients as social workers. It’s important because it helps build a trusting relationship with…
