assignment #6

"Opinion is a flitting thing, but truth outlasts the sun -- if we cannot posess them both -- posess the oldest one"

To me, this means opinions change all the time, but the truth stays the same forever, so why believe something that changes and may not be real when you can believe and know the truth. I think we could use this in real life when we find a rumor about someone, instead of just believing that rumor you can go ask the person.

 

assignment #4: The Trombone

I am researching the Trombone, it is a brass instrument. This instrument can make higher or lower sounds depending on how the player buzzes his or her lips, and how far they pull the slide. The mouth piece is connected to the long bell. The mouth piece is also larger then a trumpet's making it's sound a lot calmer and deeper. Trombones can be up to 9 feet long when the slide is out all the way. The slide of a Trombone replaces valves, the more you pull out the slide the lower the sound will be. The slide trombone was invented in the 1300's. To play correctly, the player must be able to work their mouths and be able to push and pull the slide very fast in order to get the notes. Cleaning the mouth piece is like cleaning any other mouth piece, you wipe it down with cleaner and swab it, then of course dry it but that goes without saying. They can play in the treble clef or bass clef. The inventor of it I cannot find, but the first design for a Trombone came from an old English instrument called the Sackbut (push and pull in french). You assemble it by putting the mouth piece into place, and sliding the slide into the holes. You maintain it by putting it into it's case and cleaning it after each session.

Behind my name.

Behind My Name: Michelle

Before I started this assignment, I thought my name was just a name, because everyone had it at my first house.

I think my parents chose this name for me because the doctor suggested it when he first saw me.

After searching on Behind The Name and Baby Names I learned that my name means feminine Micheal, which is a bit of a let down.

Some other interesting things I learned are that my name is Hebrew, and Dutch. I didn't even think it COULD be Hebrew.

I think my name does not suit me because I've never really liked my name, I always thought it was an extremely common name almost every girl I knew had, including a strange old lady that lived on my street.

If I could give myself a new name, it would be Adele (ah-dell) which means Noble.

Assignment 2: tolerance and discrimination

  Tolerance to me is putting up with someone/something that bugs you. Or if someone has a different opinion, you don't get mad at them for it. "I have no tolerance for noise." Would mean the person doesn't allow any noise around them.  Discrimination is basing a person off of a group of people. So its like being racist, homophobic, or being against one group of religious people. Basically, using stereotypes and hating one group or person because of it.

Writing this was harder then I thought it'd be.
