A Fairy Song Over hill‚ over dale‚ Thorough bush‚ thorough brier‚ Over park‚ over pale‚ Thorough flood‚ thorough fire!

It one opens ones mind and emotions the book can connect in a

Reading about Kino in “The Pearl” becoming greedy. The poem “Hotrodders” about taking risks and “Lullaby for 17” choosing not to listen to someone who is older and wiser. Reading these texts have made me believe life is based on the choices you make. Kino chose to make bad choices and it ended up hurting him in the future. Kino‚ in “The Pearl‚”

My Life as a Soundtrack Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if there was to be a soundtrack playing in the background of it all. The soundtrack would just continue to play making sure to capture every moment in my life a significant one. When approaching a crush the soundtrack would be sure to pick a song that explained exactly how I was feeling‚ or on the days when nothing seems to be going my way‚ music that I like to call “thinking music” would continually play.

performed at this concert. Composition I liked best: The musical piece that I enjoyed the most was the Japanese Koto‚ Edo- komoriuta and Sunayama. Edo-komoriuta is a well- known traditional lullaby which originates from the Edo region of Japan‚ written around the year of 1922. While listening to the women singing the lullaby‚ I was actually falling asleep! This music must definitely work for young babies/children. It was very pleasant to listen to. It was something quite different for me‚ but quite calming
