lead or to follow and Jack refuses to do the latter. Although the boys follow Jack throughout the novel, there is evidence of slight resistance in the beginning. When asked for support for Jack, “with dreary obedience the choir raised their hands” (Golding 23). Though the choir supports Jack, it is important to note that pause. The pause signifies a moment of not only hesitation, but thought. The shadow of doubt, which ceases to exist further on, has passed over their minds for a brief moment. In

For six years I've been in my school's choir at Buchtel Community Learning Center. That choir has taught me a lot of things; how to blend voices together, how to read music, even how to correctly warm up your voice and the posture when singing. I take these lessons everywhere I go, especially to the music program I was in, STARS. STARS was a music program that was spread all over the country that helped young people showcase their talents and gave them opportunities to learn more about their craft

Mrs. Gates. I never thought I would build up the confidence to sing infront of people ever but Mrs. Gates but i started to rethink that when my teacher told the class that at the end of this week on friday we will have auditions for a solo of the choir. I felt this uneasiness in my stomach and thought I was about to embarrass myself by throwing up in front of the whole class. I went the whole day just thinking about that solo.

for music that I chose to join then, but I stayed for so much more. From choir, I have built relationships, travelled the world, and learned much more than I ever expected. I met my best friend in my first year of choir, one that I likely would've never met otherwise. Our love of music bound us together, and it allowed us to discover many other similarities between us. In more ways than one, I have crossed the globe with choir. My director, Dr. Brookey, gave us pieces in languages and from countries

Throughout the semester, I went to several concerts, some classical in nature, some more popular, and even a bit of house music made by DJs-which was not really my style. One of the concerts that took me out of my comfort zone the most was performed by a Juilliard Orchestra and conducted by Juilliard faculty member, Jeffrey Millarsky. The concert took place at Alice Tully Hall, a Lincoln Center concert venue. It is not as large as Lincoln Center’s opera house, but still a sizable space and it was

“before the coach’s dissonant speaking voice could entirely break the spell the children’s singing had cast”(Salinger, 90). X was entranced by the children in the choir and sought to leave before the effect was ruined by the interference of an adult. Later on, X spends his time in a tearoom before being joined by Esmé, a girl from the church choir. Despite being only thirteen years old, Esmé is described as mature, well-mannered and bright. She offers X a taste of normalcy with a conversation about her
