Entering my junior year of high school‚ I remember very clearly how excited I was for a new year of marching band. I had played percussion in the pit‚ which includes the mallets‚ timpani‚ and other non-marching percussion toys and instruments in the front of the field‚ for my entire high school career. Since then‚ I had fallen in love with those “bizarre” mallet instruments that I remember

To choose between the old Chicago Theory of urban areas and the New Urban sociology is difficult. Both present good arguments as to the structure of cities‚ but both are also plagued with many criticisms. The works of classic sociologists such as Max Weber‚ Fredrick Engels‚ and Karl Marx have stood the test of time; many of their theories are what the new urban sociology‚ as well as‚ many other modern theories have developed from.

As the speed increases more‚ the sound of the man’s voice becomes more musical and less decipherable as speech. It is now very difficult to understand the individual words. The speed of the speech is still increasing. The only recognizable elements of speech are now "come" and

In the poem “Chicago” Carl Sandburg describes his home. When people talk about where they live most people only say good things about their town‚ but Sandburg points out both the good and bad. All places have good and bad points even my city. I live in Bowie‚ Maryland. Bowie is a relatively small city. There isn’t much to distinguish Bowie from other places.
