Summary Of Music In His Bones By Amerine Graham
In Music in His Bones: Book One Billionaire Romance, Amerine Graham introduces readers to the Wilson family, who owns and operates Wilson Records, a top company in the recording industry. In the opening scene, brothers Kay, Nathan, and Chris Wilson are put to a challenge by their father and CEO, Wilhelm Wilson, of finding the next big act in the music industry. The challenge in hand, the brothers go their separate ways.
Kay Wilson, eldest son and emotionally damaged ex-rocker turned music executive, goes on the hunt. Visiting a local club, Kay becomes ensnared by the siren song of Nell, a punk rocker with emotional baggage, attitude and a voice that could melt butter. A sexy encounter backstage starts Kay and Nell down a path of self-discovery and to each other. As Kay woos Nell, he cannot deny the growing attraction between them. Will Nell become his client or his lover? Misunderstandings, disappointment, redemption, and second chances all ensue.

Kay is a strong and interesting character whose past is slowly revealed as the story progresses. The obstacles and personal tragedies that are revealed compel the reader to pull for Kay. Nell’s character is also fraught with weaknesses from a difficult childhood and I found myself wanting to see Nell rise above her insecurities. On stage, she is strong and confident, but this stage persona conceals the true person that lies beneath. One of the things I liked the best about the story is that from his first glimpse of Nell and the first haunting notes he hears, Kay can sense there is more to Nell than meets the eye, or ear, as it

    What is the worst thing that a force can do before going into battle? The worst thing that a force cannot do is have improper planning. In the article Anaconda- A Flawed Joint Planning there was some key steps that were missed in the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP). The article describes five errors that the unit could have avoided by using MDMP. However I am only going to discuss four out of the five errors and there are as follows: Poor Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield, Underestimating Airpower Deployment Time, Lack of Tactical Coordination for Close Air Support and the Lack of Operational- and Strategic-level Coordination.…

    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…

    I chose Kit as my character because she seemed very interesting to write about. Kit was a very mysterious girl, who looked as though she had a lot of qualities. Her character made me want to pay a closer attention to her. I like this character because even though woman are no suppose to be acting, Kit still took the chance and disguised herself as a young boy. In the theatre, Kit’s acting skills were better than half the boys there, this shows that woman have the ability to do anything men can do…

    She was very mature for her age and her actions reminded me of myself as a little girl. Her sassy and confident attitude made me laugh at times. I also enjoyed how Holden didn’t realize the real problem in his life, was himself. As he was judging others for the qualities he found irritating he wasn’t able to see himself displaying those qualities himself, whom I believed caused many problems throughout the story. 2.…

    This story is fascinating because both of the major characters are well rounded and dynamic. They also contrast with each other. Twyla’s hard heart and Roberta’s need for excitement. Roberta’s remorse at the end of the story shows not only how her guilt has preyed on her for years, but how Twyla has rationalized her form of the truth. Though readers will never know what exactly happened to Maggie, we can learn a lot about the characters from how they dealt with the…

    This story, in all honesty, did not entertain me or stimulate intriguing thoughts. I felt like the author gave a lot of his time to describe the scene and the appearance of characters that there was nothing really going on. I spent most of my time while reading trying to figure out or thinking what certain things looked like rather than anticipating what may be happening next. Overall this story did not engage me nor hold my interest. I did on the other hand find the way Sammy’s attitude to toward the girls rather baffling because here are these three girls, two of which he mentions are overweight and not on the attractive side, and then “Queenie” whom he points out is too pale but yet in a sense “eye candy”. It was strange how he felt a pull towards them as soon as he noticed them and felt the need to quit his job and become their self proclaimed hero. Was he just as strange or just someone who really needs the attention?…

    What I feel is significant about this piece of literature is the story that is being told and the reality behind it. Many young girls face this kind of reality everyday and don’t have a good outcome. The authors’ intention in the story was to portray a little girl named Connie and show her struggle with adolescence and wanting to become a woman far too fast. The themes that stand out to me in this story are Connie’s constant fantasizing and daydreaming. She is always worried about her appearance and fantasizing about boys, but when it comes down to the reality of actually engaging and being confronted with a man, she reverts to being a child again. Another theme that stands out to me is Connie leaving herself extremely vulnerable. She has her friends’ dad drop them off at a shopping plaza, but sneaks off to a drive in to meet boys. Then she meets with Eddie and hangs out in an alley. This exposes her to Arnold Friend. She portrays herself with a lot of independence, but when she has the confrontation with him at her house, she tries to scare him away with saying, “But my father’s coming back. He’s coming to get me” (Oates 330). She says this because she is still a little girl and doesn’t quite know how…

    Every day we are given a fresh start; another chance to move forward in our lives and accomplish the things we thrive to achieve day to day. A new day can also liberate us from our past mistakes and provide us with a chance to change our ways. We are all faced with misery and misfortune at points in our lives, some more than others. We must recognize that it is not the burden in itself that shapes who we are, but how well or how poorly we deal with the difficulties. Sometimes misfortunes can be seen in a negative light; because it seems unjust, therefore we response in a negative matter, and become negligent to change. Overcoming tragic events is what truly counts, for we are meant to live happily and in acceptance that there are things that we cannot change. In many cases, individuals seem to feel as though they’ve lost an amount so great that they are unable to free themselves of the pain. This perspective often leads to further suffering. A Temporary Matter by Jhumpa Lahou and Kiss Me by Andrew Pyper demonstrate a loss of identity, negligence towards communication, and eventually leading to the destruction of a relationship.…
