Ting belonged to a different time, a better place, a more convivial atmoshere. Ting, a small sound, a sound hardly used even in the days when music was loved and listened to, when songs were cherished by everyone for their vast range of contrasting styles Ting's sound was never placed up front by the leaders of the orchestra. Always a composers afterthought. Ting recogised his place in the score and keenly hung on to it. Ting was a survivor within music, and now a survior without it. Unbelievably bad times changed from worse to permanent. Ting took to wandering through the ruins of Middleseton, out of sight, unseen by frightful noisy of machines as they hunted and chased him. Ting ran and he hid, talking shelter wherever he could find it, often in small desolate places just beyond the reach of the every present dangerous winds and rain. Ting explored boltholes carefully, rejecting some accepting other as a place to rest his tired body. If considered safe Ting immediately closed his eyes to sleep. Whether by chance, design or unlucky coincidence a passing appliance appeared in the street outside to release a high-pitched electrical pulse, or a slow moving truck, grinding through the gears disturbed Ting in his bed, waking him, making him move on and on and further on. Deafened by mechanical madness, driven insane by all shapes and sizes of unmanned machines Ting dodged and weaved beneath, between and around mechanised cleaners, sweepers, diggers and excavators. He squeezed his way past trucks and tractors busy destroying what other self-motivating renovators had recently repaired. Hazards were everywhere. Bulldozers drove waves of water ahead of their blades, flooding already saturated streets, making roads almost impassab... ... middle of paper ... ...he closest to his safe place. At every turn Ting called out. 'Can you hear me?' never hoping to raise his voice above the accompanying howling wind. Panic began to replace hope. 'Where are they?' Ting clawed at anything he believed might be used for a shelter. 'If I'm the only musical Sound out here, what do I do?' Ting forced his, painful to the touch, legs to climb into the bows of a fallen sweet chestnut tree. Wheezing as he breathed Ting looked along the fast flowing street, he thought he saw something out there. He was right: A sudden bolt of lightning lit up a cello, tossing and bobbing along with the swell of the flood. Waiting for the right moment Ting reached out to grab the instrument, hoping to snag it on an overhanging branch. His first attempt failed. Urging himself to try harder Ting managed to capture the cello and release it from the waters grip.

generations. Today, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi are considered two of the most important heroines in Vietnamese history. The pair, who had already come from a militarily strong family, led an army against the Chinese officials who controlled Vietnam at the time. They eventually took back Vietnam, and ruled for three years before an army was sent to destroy them. The Trung sisters used their social status and the general discontent the Vietnamese people felt towards the ruling Chinese to start a rebellion

secret that as the years go on, teenagers of every generation have been getting involved with drugs, to their frantic parent’s dismay. And according to Students Against Destructive Decisions, 50% of teens have reported using an illicit drug by the time they graduate high school. So why have teenagers still been doing drugs when they’ve been proven to be more harmful then helpful? One reason kids tend to drugs is for the fact that they’re bored. Doesn’t this seem a slightly ridiculous reason to
there are the two portraits, the two different worlds of a black male and a white woman. These portraits, in the poem, are contrasted and developed by tone and imagery. The imagery in the poem depicts a portrait of a black male as violent, a thug, tings of that nature. We see this when Olds expresses, "He has the casual cold look of a mugger, alert under hooded lids." We can imagine here the male just sitting there, with his hood on, having a evil look ready to steal something, which is exactly what

In his essay “Panopticism,” Michel Foucault introduces the Panopticon structure as proof of modern society tending toward efficient disciplinary mechanisms. Starting with his example of the strict, intensely organized measures that are taken in a typical 17th-century plague-stricken town, Foucault describes how the town employed constant surveillance techniques, centralized a hierarchy of authorities to survey households, partitioned individual structures to impose certain behavior, and record current

different races always appear in the media and audience will exaggerate those portrayals by their inflexible beliefs and expectations about the characteristics or behaviors of the portrayals’ cultural groups without considering individual variation (Ting-Toomey and Chung, 2012); in fact, it is also called as stereotypes.

different ages because many people think of it as making a simple thing complicated, but the reality of the situation is mathematics makes life much easier. Negative thoughts about math can also come from poor math teachers, weak curriculum, or one bad experience ruining the fun of mathematics for many individuals.

my academic experiences I am glad to say that school was always something that I excelled in. Elementary from what I remember was a piece of cake I always had fun and always did well in my classes. I believe like everything in life as you get old tings get harder and as I began middle school it wasn’t completely difficult yet but I could say that it wasn’t the easiest either. Although once High school began the real challenges began but as well the success achieved in high school meant much more
and as a result one who desires to free all beings from suffering would be cut off from the Buddhist path towards enlightenment. Daoism advocates more for “let[ting] everything go as it goes” as a way to resolve conflicts and mistakes in conceptions (Suzuki 33). For example, one excerpt from the Daodejing remarks that “[i]n ancient times, those good at practicing the Way did not use it to enlighten the people, but rather to keep them in the dark” (Ivanhoe 195). In the end, the purpose of Daoism and
in this world, but many people can relate to a negative connotation with the word. Doubt is a scary thing in this world, but it is apart of life, and without it we would not be grateful for the good tings in this world. My whole life I have had some serious self-confidence issues. They were not as bad in elementary school, but once I hit the teen years my love for myself went straight down the toilet. I doubted who I was. I did not have trust within myself, and that was hard. Imagine living your
