Catherine came to fetch me from the confinement cells in deep under the Ark Tower. “You are lucky,” she said handing me a fresh, grey-collared Arksuit. “Andies suspected of suffering from layering psychosis are usually recalled on the spot. Arks are at least tested first.” “My test is not for another two days,” I said. “But I suppose that has changed.” “The Director feels it is in your best interest to not wait any longer. Once you are dressed I will escort you to the testing facility.” We took…

Which habits seem to pop up in your listening? The habits that popped up in my listening are as follows Distractions such as background sounds or my cellphone or my thoughts going on in my mind sidetracked me in my listening. I jump to conclusions before the speaker has finished talking. What can you do to replace these habits with more productive behaviors? The first thing I can do is to minimize the distractions around myself. I should concentrate on the speaker. Focus myself to keep my mind…

have to watch your tone because people hear tone before they hear the words. Meaning the will hear how you say something sound rather than what is being said. People recognize the emotion of voice,when people listen that the first thing that they look out for. Our emotions play a pivotal role in our tone of voice. It is important to keep in my mind that emotion creates sound. For instance, if I am happy, I will speak in a calm and charismatic tone but if I am angry, I will use an irritated and…

I’m standing at the front door staring at my reflection in the glass “Knock, knock, knock,” “let me out, it’s so cold and lonely in here.” I hear the tiniest whisper of a voice, it’s so faint I can barely hear it. “Let me out of here.” The voice gets louder and more controlling. I look around I am at a loss for words, my blood runs cold my mouth gets dry. “I said let me out!” That’s the last thing I hear as I see a decayed hand reaching out towards me. I start running fast, as fast as I’ve ever…

Black and an unknown figure stood before him. No facial features just red dots for eyes. A huge, white grin spread across his cocked head. A piercing sound echoes through the room and Wynter's senses had increased, a lot. The voices inside his head were taking over, telling him that his life was in danger. Not only was he starting to feel faint but the sound still continued. Suddenly, a bright light shone through the room and his whole world blacked…

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 cacophony startling Booker awake with a disgruntled groan. Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. But after several minutes, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow to the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.…

Lyrics enhance music and help listeners interpret a story. Words complement the music. A great song would be one that entrails a person and that holds many dynamics. If used correctly, words are used to place meaning and to enhance the piece. When used incorrectly, it can give off a negative notion. If the words don't give meaning to the piece then it mind as well just be noise. I think this because without proper storytelling it gives no connection for the listener to indulge in. This is why…

Music serves as an outlet to express our feelings and just escape from the trying times we might be facing. . Unfortunately people within the education system are…

I saw stars twinkling in the night sky. I stared very deep into one and it seemed like I was getting closer to it. There was a bright white flash. “Uh… W-what happened?” I questioned while I was just regaining consciousness “Sir, you were in an... explosion,” a soft voice said “Explosion? What? I-I don’t remember.” I said confused and dazed “You were the sole survivor.” The soft voice spoke again “There was an attack at the military camp where you were stationed.” “What? What military camp?” I…
