For my read aloud I read Louanne Pig in the Mysterious Valentine by Nancy Carlson to Tina Gwyn’s kindergarten class. This book is about a pig named Louanne who receives a valentine in her mailbox but, it is addressed from a secret admirer. She only has one clue about who sent it, she knows the person has a green pen because that is the color of the signature on the valentine. Louanne is determined to find out who sent it, so she spends her day snooping around hoping to find someone who owns a green pen. Eventually she goes to their town store and gets another hint; the person who bought it has a curly tail. In the end Louanne does not figure out who sent it but, if the students pay close attention to the pictures they will notice her dad has a green pen in his pocket and has a curly tail!…
To begin, most of the time, Dr. Seuss’s editing company would come and ask him to create a book that had between 50 to 250 new vocabulary words for kids to learn. As usual this was something that Dr. Seuss never had trouble with. The Cat in the Hat was published with 48 different words. Within those 48 words, more than just the cat coming to a house to entertain the kids way conveyed (Dr. Seuss Biography). Other stories such as Yurtle the Turtle and The Butter Battle Book each have understandable symbols. In addition to symbolism, Dr. Seuss used rhyme as another key to his superlative writing and cartoons. For example, Seuss used rhyme in the Cat in the Hat when he said, “...Make that cat go away! Tell that cat you DO NOT want to play. Dr.…

“The Drowsy Chaperone," a musical phenomenon, with songs by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, based off the book written by Mr. Martin and Don McKellar. An hour and forty minutes of pure comedic relief, a nod to the aspect of escapism of the twenties. Adorned with the perfect balance between historicism and modernism, this musical provides the foundation for a night of amusement and thrill. It is a sneak peak into the extravagant musicals of the 1920s. A long lost era where prohibition dampened the spirits of many, liquor flowed like water, flappers were the rage, and gangsters were high on life.…

An estimated 121 million people worldwide are believed to suffer from depression. A disturbance in appetite, sleep patterns, and overall functioning preoccupies many individuals every single day. This life-altering mood disorder often leads to a low sense of self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness and guilt. Doctors and psychiatrists have been developing a variety of treatments for years. In a world that is so dependent on drugs and pharmaceuticals, these are the methods that have been used as treatments. From this perspective, relying on various pharmaceuticals that change the chemicals in our body and disturbs our natural body rhythm is seen to have beneficial outcomes. Is that the only solution? Evidence is beginning to emerge that music therapy can improve the mental health of people with depression. Music therapy is the use of sounds and music within an evolving relationship between client and therapist to support and encourage physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. Music intervention is a non-invasive and inexpensive therapeutic technique that demonstrates positive results. The reason music therapy is so effective is because active music-making and music listening within the therapeutic frame offers the patient opportunities for new aesthetic, somatic, and interactive experiences. In a world that so often relies drugs, it is refreshing to know that there is an alternative solution to pharmaceuticals for such a life-altering illness.…

Alzheimer's disease destroys the lives of many and puts families into a living nightmare. This disease deteriorates human beings and brings down even the strongest people. Many scientists and doctors believe in music therapy as an advanced form of treatment. Music therapy is when doctors and nurses incorporate music into the lives of the patients to help them remember something from their past. Some believe music therapy is unreliable because patients may express false memories (Swayne), however there are studies that have provided factual proof of its benefits.…
Music is a very astounding aspect of life. There are many engaging studies into how music can help people heal from various physical and emotional pains and how music can be a way of life for people who are either deaf or for people that have Alzheimer’s disease, which is what I will be talking about throughout this essay. Music therapy, which was mentioned throughout a website article from the American Cancer Society, is a big part of this essay because it describes the importance of music. Alongside with the website, I pulled references from the a journal article on the effects of music therapy for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, from excerpts including Moving to Higher Ground by Wynton Marsalis and When Music Heals Body and…
