Play The Flute Book Report
There were 2 parts of the book that I connected to the most. The first one was when Ivy was learning the flute in her school band. In this part of the book, Ivy was not too sure whether she wanted to play the flute, but obtained once her friend told her to play it. At the end, Ivy really enjoyed the flute, and ended up playing the flute as her career when she grew up. In 5th grade, I went through a homogenous experience. Although, I do not plan to play the flute as my career, I did play the flute in my school band. At first, I wanted to play the clarinet. Nevertheless, when my mom convinced me that the flute would be a fun instrument to learn, I decided to try it out. At the end, I was really happy that I had chosen to play the flute since

    The first piece written by Lowell Liebermann, Sonata for Flute and Harp, Op. 56 was a vibrant piece music dealing mostly with chromaticism at its center. The harp slowly and gradually moves in a crescendo with an almost synonymous sound to a suspense movie. The flute on the other hand, acts as the amplifying instrument that amplifies the tension created by the harp. Similarly, David Kechley’s piece, Available Light: Midwinter Musings for Flute and Harp possesses almost the same characteristics as Liebermann’s piece with an exemption of a calm and soothing reflective 3rd movement, the Lyric Transformation. The 1st and 2nd movement, Frenetic Reflection and Cold Fusion desperately dives into an even more chromaticism while still…

    While the mysteries kept my attention, my favorite part of this novel was the characters. Todd is a delightful young boy who, while not overly troublesome, gets in his fair share of scrapes. His sisters Libby and Lilly Jean do not start off with much of a role, but they become more important as the novel continues. I found myself laughing with the family, crying with the family, and even getting upset for the family. To me, one of the gifts in writing is to be able to make your audience feel what the characters themselves feel. Ms. Ulmer makes this novel enjoyable by making her characters…

    One of the best things about this book is how when u start to get bored with the book she brings you right back. Like if you are reading chapter 28 and you are about to end it and you think it's starting to get boring, then there's a cliff hanger right at the end of the chapter. You can't put the book down it's so good. I can't wait to read the rest…

    This book along with its series is nothing like I’ve ever read, seen, or heard about, and that is the reason why this book is very interesting. However as reading this book, I’ve come to realize that this story has several connections, and relations with my personal life. Out of many of…

    I found the beginning of this book quite confusing. I had a difficult time discerning who the main characters were and what was the plot. I also wasn't quite sure when the Mother had died and it wasn't until later that I realized the reason that Carmen was present was because she had traveled home for her mother's funeral. However, once I got into the book and started to put the characters in context, I really began to enjoy it.…

    This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…

    At first it seemed as if my summer was never going to end. I was spending up to eight hours a day learning material. I had made friends around my grandparents neighborhood, which made my time miserable. Not to mention they lived next to a beautiful park. My parents were insistent on me spending my time with my books, which ultimately payed off in the end. At the end of summer I was reading two…

    As a key member of her high school’s local newspaper club, Jeannette developed a growing desire and attachment to the art of writing and eventually envisioned her dream of one day becoming a journalist in the “Big Apple,” New York City. Subsequently, Jeannette, with her strong, resilient and invulnerable desire to create a better future for both her family and herself, rose to prominence and became the exceptional author, writer and journalist she is today. As a whole, this is why I have truly come to regard as Parts II and III to be my favorite: They presented Jeannette with cruel circumstances that allowed for her to become a fierce, focused and determined individual unstoppable in her dream to achieve a bigger, better and brighter future. The sacrifice and tremendous incidence of difficulty endured throughout these two parts truly immersed readers such as me into this phenomenal book. Furthermore, Jeannette’s strong attitude and response towards rough times is also pretty inspirational in that she decided, unlike most, to keep moving forward and create her own hope and belief in spite of terrible…

    I would be assigned books that would put me to sleep like Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry because it would have no action that I enjoyed. That’s when eighth grade happened. I saw this smart kid reading a book with a bland red cover with the title I am Number Four. At first I thought it was too advanced and boring so I didn’t bother reading it. Until that summer I went to the library and saw the book under the “Most Read” section and I gave it a shot. I could see why that kid wouldn’t put that book down during class. It made me feel so many emotions I’ve never felt before over a book and I couldn’t stop reading the series, again I wouldn’t do my homework and my parents would get mad because I would read too much for once! I have recently just finished all the books in the series up to this point and I’m waiting to get my hands on the one that just recently came out. I have read this series several times because I just thought it was so…

    Everyone has their own literary narrative and their own path into literacy. The growth from picture books to those with over a thousand pages is a huge transition in one’s life. Reading has impacted my life and others such as Gerald Graff, Richard Rodriguez, and Eudora Welty. I know my literary journey is still only beginning and the rest of my novel known as life is still a blank book. From here on I am just going to continue writing the…

    The Maze Runner

    He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air. Metal ground against metal; a lurching shudder shook the floor beneath him. He fell down at the sudden movement and shuffled backward on his hands and feet, drops of sweat beading on his forehead despite the cool air. His back struck a hard metal wall; he slid along it until he hit the corner of the room. Sinking to the floor, he pulled his legs up tight against his body, hoping his eyes would soon adjust to the darkness. With another jolt, the room jerked upward like an old lift in a mine shaft. Harsh sounds of chains and pulleys, like the workings of an ancient steel factory, echoed through the room, bouncing off the walls with a hollow, tinny whine. The lightless elevator swayed back and forth as it ascended, turning the boy’s stomach sour with nausea; a smell like burnt oil invaded his senses, making him feel worse. He wanted to cry, but no tears came; he could only sit there, alone, waiting. My name is Thomas, he thought. That … that was the only thing he could remember about his life. He didn’t understand how this could be possible. His mind functioned without flaw, trying to calculate his surroundings and predicament. Knowledge flooded his thoughts, facts and images, memories and details of the world and how it works. He pictured snow on trees, running down a leaf-strewn road, eating a hamburger, the moon casting a pale glow on a grassy meadow, swimming in a lake, a busy city square with hundreds of people bustling about their business.…

    In all honesty, I did not like around the first ⅞ of the book; it was slow and uneventful, and although the plot was ingenious, it was unclear when the important things happened, because it was not well described, and everything was somewhat abstract. Majority of the book was mostly just describing this society Lena lived in, and talking about daily life, which tends to get bland, along with the fact that nothing happens until the last 45-ish pages. For the most part, I actually really did not like the writing style; it was too skewed, meaning, since it was so far into the future, the people there think differently, and talk differently, especially because of the Cure to love, so I couldn’t really comprehend what they meant at times. For example, some quotes to show this would be, “You can’t be happy unless you’re unhappy sometimes,” and, “He who leaps through the sky may fall, it’s true, but he may also fly.” The first quote was spoken by Lena when she was at a party, and the second when she was walking home; sometimes it felt like she was talking in her sleep, since the quotes, as previously mentioned, had nothing to do with is context. The book is full of these abstruse quotes that are half Old English, and half futuristic English, so it’s quite confusing for me, and hard to…
