Daffodils Spring Year
308 words
Outside of my grandmothers house, there are these
daffodils, fluttering and dancing with the breeze.
Every spring break morning, sparkling waves of
daffodils accompanies me with bliss and
admiration. The milky way of daffodils changes
throughout the year; however, it always blossoms
at this time of the year. They portrayed to me as
grown teens ready to enter reality with control of
fear. They are no longer sprouts guided by hosts
and forgiveness; they now confidently toss their

Rite Of Spring Major Part
1,791 words
An introduction to 'The Rite of Spring', The part
I of the Rite of Spring starts with an "
introduction ." The texture at the very beginning
is extremely thin, and the only instrument in use
is the bassoon, in an unusually high tessitura.
The bassoon is soon joined by the Horn, and later,
a pair of clarinets. This little wind ensemble
creates an eerie feeling, and the fact that tempo
rubato is employed makes the whole start very
unstable, as if the 'grand work' has just had a
bad kick-off. Howev...

Men And Women Male Counterparts

... bat billets argue that it is too dangerous to
put women in the position of becoming prisoners of
war. Without a doubt, there is a much greater
probability for acts of sexual molestation and

roles, two female U. S. soldiers were taken
captive and the Iraqis in the Gulf War sexually
