Playlist

Distracted Driving The numbers illustrating the dangers of cell phone use while driving are downright startling. In fact, at any given time throughout the day, approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their phones while behind the wheel of an automobile.(….) This statistic is not only very scary but it is also one of the largest progressing distractions in our world today. Texting while driving is a widely known distraction in the United States. With technology being a key factor in…

“We should be there in 15 minutes so we have 5 minutes to get ready before the party starts!” I say eagerly. “Kk” Eva says as she finishes her sandwich. I turn up the music so we can jam on the way there like always. We always have the best playlist ready before we go on car rides. “We’re here!!” I say in excitement. “Yasss!” Eva says in excitement as she gets out the car. We grab our stuff and hurry down to the beach, there’s just enough time to change into our bathing…

played on the radio. We would share music and introduce each other to the popular songs at the time. The first CD I purchased was “Black and Blue” by the Backstreet Boys. Now, I get most of my music from youtube and from the free Pandora streaming playlist. Pandora would introduce me to new songs and artist like Hillsong (a popular Christian praise and worship group known for their 2013 hit “Oceans”). I have only purchased three songs from iTunes in the past few years (two songs from her…

beat of Tap shoes. He had to hide his ambitions from his parents, because he knew they wouldn’t approve. Everyday after his parents would leave the studio, Grant would stay to clean the floor. Whenever he would clean, he would put on his personal playlist, and tap in secret. (Like Kevin Bacon from Footloose.) One night while he was dancing, but he didn’t notice Liz had wandered back into the room. She had forgotten her water bottle, and she discovered him tapping. She immediately told their…

I chose to create a playlist for Gregor. I chose Gregor because we know the most about him and he is the only character that we know the thoughts of. I think Gregor would listen to country and pop music. He seems like a typical adult except for the fact that he has to pay off his parents’ debt. I think he would listen to music that he can relate to personally. The lyrics would have to reflect what he is feeling. The lyrics to the songs I chose are mainly about work since it is a major theme of…

‘Save Rock and Roll’. I picked the playlist and started listening. I immediately liked their sound. Rock for someone parts and a bit mellowed out for others. I kept listening, but started doing homework at the same time. One song, ‘Miss Missing You’, started, but I wasn’t really listening…

My Autobiography I am a human on planet earth, along with the other seven billion people. But I’m not like the seven billion people. Yes, we have similarities but I am me. I am myself. To every last detail. Think of it this way, people are like snowflakes. No one is exactly the same. We all have weird habits, guilty pleasures, and weird interesting facts. But I’m here to tell you mine. I, MariElena Harmoni Pena, was born in Longmont Colorado on July 10th, 2002, In the Longmont…

In this listening activity I chose to listen to the Palestine Lives!: Songs from the Struggle of the People of Palestine playlist that is under Israeli- Palestinian music. This collection was created in 1974. The first song was called Beladi (Motherland) by Al Fat'h members. I noticed right away that the song was written 4/4 time. This meter was consistent throughout the entire song. The drums, and horns played first followed by a group of male vocals. The vocals were all in unison and were sung…

to use the restroom at every rest-stop we went to. Because the trip down was so boring I had my headphones with me and plugged them into my phone and played my playlist full of r&b to k-pop. My cousin saw what I was listening to and recommended some other songs that I should listen to so I downloaded the songs and added them to my playlist, put it on shuffle and went back to sleep. Before I knew it, I’m in my Tio’s driveway in Little River-Academy,…

predominate, well-known African American artist, Louis Armstrong, greatly influenced this genre. Jazz broke many “racial barrier” with the help of Armstrong and his participation in mixed-race bands. Phonograph records and radios were selling Jazz playlists by the billions, showing that music was really becoming a major hit and it sought the attention of many. Drinking was illegal during this time but prohibition was very much ignored. People spent their money on dancing and drinking and since…
