I went back to sleep. I awake in pain, at around three in the morning. I go to the bathroom to get some medicine, when i again feel like i am being watched. Full of uneasiness, i head downstairs to eat the feelings away, like always. I hear a weak knock at the door, as if the knocker was afraid of breaking the door. I open the door and a hooded figure falls through the doorway, onto the floor. I try to help the person, and i ask if it is okay. When it doesn’t respond, i tap it on what i thought…
It’s late at night and I feel very hungry, I really don’t want to wake up anyone in the house so I just sneak out of my room to the kitchen. With my stomach grumbling, I open the fridge and take out a chocolate milk carton. I look around to make sure I haven’t woken anyone up and I took a long quenching drink directly from the milk carton. I then close the carton and put it back in the refrigerator. I don’t think my mom has no idea I do this a couple of times a week. B. I had been planning my…
Many of the symptoms can be common in other learning disabilities such as not being able to understand the teacher in a noisy classroom, following directions, and being able to tell the difference between similar sounding speech sounds.

Kuroko walked back into his living room to see that the other five guys had not moved much. The only obvious difference was that Kise was not sitting next to Murasakibara. He quickly found that they did not notice him and he relaxed a little. Born with a very low, mostly undetectable presence had left Kuroko accustomed to being unnoticed. He found that though it was considered a curse, his low presence came quite in handy at times. He spotted Akashi still lying down on the side of the couch he…
You hear many sounds throughout the day. In the morning, the sound of your toaster, when your pop tarts are ready. At night, when your floor squeaks when you go to the bathroom. There are many noises throughout your day. The poem “Atoms of Sound” is about everyday noises are what form your days and nights. Throughout your day you hear many noises. The television turned up; chitchat on the telephone (lines 9-10). You can also hear your dogs. Their long claws clicking on the floor (lines 4-5).…
Pennhurst Asylum, Spring City, PA 1987 All I hear is voices. All day, everyday, that's all I can hear. Sometimes I think it's normal, at least they keep me company. There are so many, but one voice always sticks out above all of them. Overall she usually stays calm, but she screams at me sometimes. She gets angry when I don’t do as she asks. 2 years earlier: I squirm in my seat on the park bench and wonder what my life would be like if I was like them; if only I was like the other kids in my…

a live production, or if you are watching a recital through a computer screen. The performances both include very unique uniforms, scenery, dancers, and music timbre. But what you miss out on when watching a recording, is hearing the live gamelan sounds flood around you and all the energy in the concert hall. Over all, I prefer the live version. The melodies in both versions have very large ranges due to the various instruments. Each type of instrument plays their own rhythm and when layered…
