The Noise Of The Wind

As a child, you think your parents are all-knowing. There comes a point where a child starts to

As a child, I often felt frustrated that adults would not always take me seriously. I felt empowered by the idea that perhaps I too was capable of solving my own problems as a self-reliant and independent being.

My parents sometimes got the notion that they knew everything in my life. They constantly advised me to eat my vegetables, do my homework, and put the toilet seat down after going to the bathroom. Yet, I

As I was young, I ignored what was going on and only focused on my life and how my mother and father interacted with me.

Everybody works. Everybody has their own job. It doesn’t matter what you do specifically, but you do it. Your quality of production is controlled by many things, but above all, your emotions determine how you operate; if you’re having a bad day, it can pretty safely be said that your craft will see a drop in notability. With artists, their work doesn’t necessarily get worse as much as it does change. It seems that artists tend to change their work based on emotion; if they aren’t ‘feeling it’ they can capture that feeling and morph it into a darker, scarier piece of art. This is especially true with the main character in the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The story is about a Freshman girl named Melinda Sordino who is having the worst

I learned my parents advice is not just nagging and trying to control my life, it is out of love for me! Throughout growing up I realize should listen to what they say because they are trying to help make the best decisions, so I can go onto better things. Not just in this story but currently too, as we get older we think we can make choices on our own, but our parents are our go to if we need help

both of these stories had technology that changed the people in nethergrave and in sound of thunder . In “A Sound of Thunder,” had a time machine that took them back in time where dinosaurs lived. The time machine took them to a jungle sixty million years in the past. In “Nethergrave,” the main character gets stuck in a virtual world instead of the real world. Jeremy chooses this after he had a bad day when scoring a goal for the enemy team in a soccer game. “Nethergrave” climax was when Jeremy’s online friends left him and then he got a message from someone telling him to turn on his mic. He made the decision to leave the real world to go somewhere he was promised never to be abandoned.

A person’s state of mind and their emotions can be expressed in numerous ways without a word ever being spoken. In writing, a poet may share their heartbreak through verse, while a musician will spread their joy and happiness through melody. A photographer may express a moment of beauty and awe through a vibrant image, while an artist can use paint to silently convey turmoil using dark colors or shadow. Taking a more in depth look into the visual arts, it is evident that artists will often use their artwork, such as paintings, to convey an autobiographical account of different, but poignant periods in their lives. Some will paint their bare souls on to the canvas, leaving little to contemplated. Others make their loneliness and sadness subtle,

Art is the sole venue for human expression. It has been known to invoke emotions and appeal to one’s numerous senses. Even throughout times of despair, the human race has been known to seek differing forms of expression as a cope mechanism or simply to project their voices and opinions to the world. In fact, the American Journal of Public Health declared that, “There is evidence that engagement with artistic activities, either as an observer of the creative efforts of others or as an initiator of one's own creative efforts, can enhance one's moods, emotions, and other psychological states as well as have a salient impact on important physiological parameters.” Such creative expression was sought after by African Americans who emigrated to the United States by means of slavery. In order to preserve their culture and lose their customs, slave retained their

Experience is a key element of being creative. More so experience of life, rather than experience of arts or creating. The subject position of a creator can arguably be constructed through life experience. Elements such as culture, religion, relationships, etc. can alter one’s view of the world and their approach to creativity. For example, my own experiences with mental health and emotional abuse have allowed the creation of art that I may never have considered prior to these events. The photography Beethy uses her anxiety and depression to feed her artwork and inspire ideas. The piece ‘anxiety’ connotes her experience; ‘The creative process helps. The idea of the image is something that's been twisting and turning in my subconscious for a while.’ Therefore, significant life events and experiences allow creative abilities.

Now as an adult I realize why they were the way they were and am extremely thankful. It is because of their discipline and love I am me. This information will definitely help me as a parent as well as possible future

While my parents were always caught up in the war my brothers and I were left to take care of ourselves. I had to teach them what was right and what was wrong based on the situation I was stuck in. To my brothers and me unhealthy relationships were normal to us. Abuse was just an everyday thing. By ourselves we had to learn to tell the difference between healthy from unhealthy and good from evil.

Music can help people with many different things. Including being very therapeutic, lifting the moods of people, and reducing pain a lot. Music does not have negative side effects. Therefore, making it a very safe and cost efficient treatment. Many different research projects have been conducted over the years. One such project was done in The United Kingdom and Finland on how emotions correlate with listening to sad music. It has been found that sad music brings about positive feelings. But for some sad music affects them negatively. Amazingly

The time I’ve spent over the summer I listened to a lot of music and its was mostly hip-hop and R&B and rap, but I liked pop as well as a genre in music and while I was sulking over my old life in Wallingford school I developed a close attachment to music to deal with the emotional tension that was going on within myself. At the time school at Branford had started and I didn’t know it exactly at that time but this was the point where I was started to write music I was hooked on all the music from over the summer I guess my mind started translating beats and words and I can recall these beats and words because these became my first song ever written while I came to Branford. The periods I spent over the course of the first year at Branford had been socially and emotionally traumatic for me I cannot lie; the people there were nice some friendly and some not and I found myself alone most of the time. At these point in school I started to question myself and my social skills with others and my self-esteem continued to drop.The epiphany I had happened when I felt as though I wasn’t important anymore and when that happened I started to write songs to express these feeling inside of me;I hadn’t said anything about my days at school to anyone besides my mother, but even with her she couldn’t fully understand what I as in my situation was going
