into the heat of the KMEA Piano Kansas State Competition. The songs that I had practiced over from June to October were mere children’s play compared to others in the group who played pieces like Claire de Lune and the 12 Variations of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (no one in middle school with common sense would choose repertoire made for high schoolers). “Melody, make sure you go over the spots in your songs that you need to work on”, Mom said, shattering my thought process. “Okay, I’ll get to it
Have you ever tried to sing your mouth closed? I have—in fact in first grade I got second place for singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in the talent show with my mouth completely shut .I am Natalie Sarmiento and I am 15 years old. It is astounding how your life can change so drastically in such small periods of time. In my life divorce is tough but although it has its down falls its has some good things that came out of it and shaped me into the person I am today. For instance, the word "divorce
How I Got My Brace We lost our soccer games, 2-1. On the ride home I was sitting in the back with a friend, while my sister sat up front, her long red hair hanging over the seat. We both saw the same dark blue punch-buggie fly passed us on the highway. She turned around and looked at me, I looked stared back at her. She screamed, “Punch buggie blue!” We both went to punch each other, our hands colliding. I let out a yelp of pain and retraced my hand back, spikes of pain spreading through it. It
On the chance that one is born in to a world of godless gloom, without religion and no path to salvation, a bleak and heavy hopelessness is bound to be engrained in the way of the land. T.S. Eliot paints a picture of a woeful world of despair where the “hollow men” live solely with religious reverie and of salvation in slumber. By joining literary methods of imagery, tone, and diction in his poem, “The Hollow Men,” the hopelessness is visible all over the whole poem, and is established as the poem’s
1 The Cheshire Cat Thanks to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, almost everybody, both children and adults, can identify the Cheshire Cat as one of the protagonists of this book. “The Cheshire-Cat's smile is the embodiment of Wonderland's riddle; it is as famous and as enigmatic as Mona Lisa's smile.“ (Cliffsnotes). My aim at this work is to provide some new insights on the Cheshire Cat's role as Alice's free-minded and lucid guide through a seemingly lunatic world of Wonderland. The Cheshire
According to Carl Jung, for a character to be considered as an archetypal hero, there are three criteria that he must pass through: a quest; an initiation which is further divided into separation, transformation, and return; and a sacrificial scapegoat (Guerin, 2005).The hero must venture into a quest full of danger and struggles. He must be separated from the world he used to live in, and return home transformed into a completely changed and different person. Lastly, he must learn to sacrifice his

Elijah Levario Anthony Buenning Composition II (23SP.ENGL.1302.W31C) 27 March 2023 Who was the author for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star What were the principal elements that led up to a misconception in the world? I truly believed when I was young that Mozart created this song. Although he was a famous man for composing piano sheets, he did not create all the popular songs you know about in the 1700s era. When understanding songs made by people, we often like to assume the composer of the song
Over the years, many poets and songwriters have used assonance to improve their writing. Assonance allows the poems to flow and be easily remembered. Writers want their works to be remembered and adding words that sound alike helps them accomplish this. The song “Uptown Girl” uses assonance throughout the entire song.

I looked up at my 3-year old big brother in awe as I watched him play twinkle twinkle little star on his shiny, new violin. I wanted more than anything to be just like my brother. I begged my parents day after day for my very own violin. I was pleasantly surprised when my dad handed me my very own violin! It was brown, and made of cardboard. And I loved it! Overwhelmed with joy I took it everywhere. Well, at least for the first few days. Slowly I started noticing differences. My brother’s violin
the angels had gathered for harp practice. After about fifteen minutes, the little angles began to squirm in their seats. They were thinking about poor Peewee without a home, and there was only one more day before Christmas. Sherman kept plunking the wrong strings. Mugsie missed his cue to play. And Topsie was so nervous that she fell off her chair. God could not hide a smile, but He knew why they were upset. “All little angels are permitted to leave harp practice early,” He said in a loud voice
compassion. Astrological,stars are referred to in the astrological sense. One's fate is determined by the positions of stars at birth. Romeo and Juliet were said, in the Prologue, to be "star-crossed lovers", which means they were fated from birth to fall in love and die. In Act 1 Scene 4, Romeo has a premonition that the events of that night will lead to his death, and he mentions "the stars" in the astrological sense: "for my mind misgives,Some consequence yet hanging in the stars,Shall bitterly begin

Why We Don’t Need a Coffin for Classical Music Humans like to live in boxes.

Not only do we put ourselves in boxes, we put the things we see, the things we learn, the people we meet in boxes.

The mother was sitting at the table in the open dinning room that was connected to the kitchen. The child was in her high chair and the grandmother was in the kitchen making breakfast. The child was eating a banana as the grandmother approached her and said, “What do you want to eat mija?” The child looked at her and said, “Sopa” (translated in English it means soup).

Juei uses archetypal imagery to ensure the stability of their relationship. Romeo describes Juliet’s eyes as “Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven”(2.2.15). He compares her to the stars and those stars would ask her “to twinkle in their spheres till they return” (2.2.16). Romeo compares her earnest eyes to the stars, commenting that the stars could be replaced by her eyes and they will still shine the same. Romeo also describes Juliet as a “bright angel”(2.2.26) and she is the winged
