Books And Music Analysis
Books and Music

How do books and music influence our life today? I decided to compare and contrast the

differences and similarity's of books and music. They both influence our life today in more ways then I

think most people know. They are great things that are very helpful in life.

Books are written to tell a story in depth and with a lot of detail, telling everything that happens

when, where, and why, but with a longer time. They take time to understand whats going on and what

problems or greatness the character(s) are facing in the story. You read and interpret the books

meaning, that the books are set to be more of a one meaning kind of thing, the writer had the idea of

what the lesson of the story's are going to be. They also have more a

Also instead of reading the

story you listen to them. Music is also very influential and it can influence people in many different

ways depending on how people decide to take the meanings in. Music can change moods at any given

moment depending on the lyrics and sounds they portray. They inspire people and can also be

depressing. They have a wide range of ways they can go on. One big thing about music is that music

doesn't really have to have a set layout, meaning, or even make any sense at all.

Music and books have some good similarity's also. They are both meant to tell story's of how

people feel at certain times and hardships. You can interpret them in your own ways even if thats not

how they are meant to be interpreted. You can write either of them any way you would prefer, and its

not up to anyone else how you write about them and what you write in them. They are great ways to

express your feelings and thoughts to get them out in the world. They can be in different perspectives,

teach you things and life lessons, tell about history or past events, and even tell how to handle

    Books reflect life. “It's not books you need, it's some of the things that once were it books..the same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through radios and televisions, but are not” said Faber. Showing Montag technologies once in the past that are also stories in books. Televisions, phones and radios are used in ways such as making your voice heard. “We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam” said Faber. There isn't room to grow and be free. Everything is being watched and controlled without having a voice. Books reflect life such as the chapter's go by what's next not…

    Books, they take you on a journey. A journey of fear, hope, adventure, love and sadness. Some books are fiction, and others take you on a real adventure where things that seem completely fake are real. They take us away from our air conditioned, comfortable homes and take us to a completely different place; one of those books are A Long Walk to Water (Linda Sue Park). Some other books have real world problem but is a made up story, one of these books are Rules (Cynthia Lord). These books are extremely different, but in many ways they’re the same.…

    John Powell’s captivating book, Why You Love Music, digs deep into the minds of all to uncover why some musical elements make us cry, laugh, and love. This book promises to strengthen our knowledge on music, and focuses on the big question: Why? Why does a certain beat make us feel nostalgic, or why are we more focused under the influence of different styles of music. Powell’s intent is to inform readers of musical elements we would never even know to think of, and how those elements affect our lives. For example, who would have thought that repeating the chorus in songs trains our minds to get those top charts tunes stuck in our heads? I can gladly say that the author accomplishes what he set out to accomplish through this book. After reading, I…

    Selwyn Duke describes on his periodical about the power of the music influence people. He states that if individual can be taught to read with rhymes and songs, then he or she can also learn the same way what is wrong and right. He mentions how music can be used to provide a positive education, such teaching kids on healthy eating habits. But, the most intriguing is how music and culture has impacted the people. How it intrigues kids from sounds that they have never hear and from things that they have never seen, such as a young girl might get a maternal instinct when she hears the sound of a baby crying. As the culture changes, so does the music because each generation finds the last generation music unappealing. The author also describes how each style…

    People listen to music for a variety of reasons. Some listen to music to relax in which it serves as a sort of escape from everyday life, some because they are a fan and follow a certain artist, and others because they can relate the lyrics to their own personal experiences. Whichever the case may be, music has and continues to serve an important role in people’s lives.…

    Music influences people in different ways, for me it influenced my life by allowing me to realize that I can express myself through other people’s words. For instance, when I started seventh grade I heard a song called “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw. At first, when I heard this song I started to cry because I automatically heard my Dad’s voice apologizing for what happened. This song has influenced my life because it was always there for me when I needed a father’s reassurance. Music has always been there for me when no one was or when I needed advice to keep going. Music allows people to put their experiences in a song that makes sense to them. Music comes in different genres but they do the same thing, allow people to express themselves when it is hard for them to do that on their…

    Few can doubt music's ability to influence our behavior. We turn to music to express our feelings. Music … "objectifies the sentience and desire, self consciousness and world-consciousness, emotions and moods…" (Langer 90). We sing lullabies to put our babies to sleep, and "Amazing Grace" to express our loss over a loved one. Favorite ballads express our love toward one another, while rap music often expresses built up anger.…

    Music in My Life

    • 281 Words

    Throughout my life, music has always been a major influence. It has the power to change my mood when I'm feeling down, but the thing I find most intriguing about music is that it doesn't always end up improving your mood: like all forms of art, it imitates life, which is not always portrayed in a positive light. The musicians that I admire most have the versatility to induce several different emotional responses in the same piece. This quality is present in most of the wide variety of music I listen to, from Russian composer Dmiti Shostakovich, to Chicago jazz band Tortoise, to California pop/rock sextet Mr. Bungle.…
