...melodies. One can forget that the music is playing in the background after a while. Stravinsky music was unpredictable. It was as if he created a box around him and said, "This is what I am going to play, and you can either like or dislike, because I do not care and will play it." Stravinsky broke away from the romantic period and any other period. He created his own period. The Romantic period had a wide range of emotions of love, war, sadness, hurt, pain, sorrow, vengeances, scorn, betrayal, and a variety of other feelings and expressions. Stravinsky and Ravels music was totally different from all of the romantic period expressions and fell into the categories of his own.

The flawless skin, the flat stomachs, and everything else that makes them look perfect are all tweaked. When I was young I was super skinny and I have always been smaller, but as I grew up and started having kids I gained some weight. I know I am not fat in any means but I remember when I had the flat stomach and now I have the kid scars. I know a lot of women who have kids and become depressed because they can’t wear those skinny jeans they used to look so good in. Media is probably 95% of the reason why we women feel so subconscious about our bodies. Beyonce, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie are all woman that my boyfriend gets so excited about when he sees them on television and makes me think that I need to get my body back to that size. They also are wearing all these skimpy clothes without an ounce of fat popping out. Back when I was younger baggy clothes used to be the style now women...
