Personal Narrative: Country Music

I listen to all kinds of music except rock. i can’t stand that music; that’s for crazy people. the most i listen to would be spanish and country. there is nothing like that music better then anything else. that music just makes me feel better. when i’m sad i listen to country and makes me feel better and when i’m happy i listen to spanish.My favorite genre in music is country music, because the singers express their feelings. country music is different because the entire singer’s relate to their child hood. they also relate to their family members. they also relate to iraq and how family members react when they’ve been told that their love ones aren’t coming back home. they express their love life’s and make you think about “falling in love”

the weight of the log would keep it in the same place in the water, like a provisional anchor, while the ship moved away. by measuring the length of line used up in a set period of time, mariners could calculate the speed of their journey (the rope itself was marked by equidistant “knots” for easy measurement). as a ship’s voyage progressed, the course came to be marked down in a book that was called a log. in journeys at sea that took place before radio or radar or satellites or sonar, these logs were an indispensable source for recording what actually happened. they helped navigators surmise where they were and how far they had traveled and how much longer they had to stay at sea. they provided accountability to a ship’s owners and traders. they were designed to be as immune to faking as possible. away from land, there was usually no reliable corroboration of events apart from the crew’s own account in the middle of an expanse of blue and gray and green; and in long journeys, memories always blur and facts disperse. a log provided as accurate an account as could be gleaned in real time.
