...performing arts studio named voice works. On the day I attended the concert, there were 10 compositions preformed with an intermission in between. Some major compositions that were preformed included the hit songs “call me maybe” and “counting stars”. I was quite surprised when I initially saw the program and the songs listed, because it was hard for me to comprehend how a group with bells could produce songs that we are so accustomed to hearing on the radio. Once the concert got started, I enjoyed seeing how all the bells complimented one another by the different sounds they produced. The concert itself was quite entertaining to me. I was really impressed by how 14-year-old kids could play together and be so professional. Another thing I observed was how some of the members of the ensemble played multiple instruments, which was really impressive. From the start the members of the ensemble tried to get the audience involved in the performance. The director after the first couple of songs introduced the students individually. It was a nice way of getting to know the members of the ensemble on a personal level. It was hard to say any one member of the group stood out from the others because they all worked in sync but the one of the members David played multiple bells at the same time. The audience really seemed to enjoy the music, which was surprising to me. The crowd was older, and I initially thought they would not know many of the...

...Sound of the Freedom- The Liberty Bell Figure 1 Liberty Bell Forever Stamp Figure 1 Liberty Bell Forever Stamp Meaning can be found even in the most mundane of objects. For instance, consider the USA First Class stamp. On its upper left corner, the number 2008 shows that this stamp was produced in year 2008. The right side of the stamp says “USA FIRST-CLASSS FOREVER”, meaning that this postage stamp is valid for First-Class postage in the United States no matter when it is used. There is an extraordinary metal bell is in the middle of the stamp – the Liberty Bell, a venerable historic relic that I am going to analyze in the rest of this research paper. The bell was first known by the world as a metal musical instrument in ancient China. Tuned bells in that age were created and played to be performed only for imperial families and noblemen, as a symbol of power and status. Later on, bells became widely used in different religions. For example, bells played an important role in the Eastern world of Buddhism and Hinduism as temple bells. In western world, bells were commonly used as church bells or town bells for gathering people together. In 1752, the Quaker William Penn, legislator and founder of the Pennsylvania colony in 1682, had decided and commissioned the bell to be cast in London, and brought to North America to hang in the State House of the colony of Pennsylvania. “They had ordered very precisely...

...The starting bell had sound for recess and the day marked half way over, I was almost there, just four more hours tell I was home in my bed. It was a hot Texas summer day and the heat had seemed to get to peoples heads causing all to be in a foul mood. A particular student who I will not refer to his real name but will call him tommy instead, had been extremely hostile and abusive. Problems with Tommy had lasted all year long and today was one day too many. Tommy enjoyed disrupting our football game that we enjoyed playing so much since it was one of the few times we could all be together. He would rush the field, intercept the ball and run to the other side of the playground forcing us to chase him to retrieve the ball. When we would attempt...

...Ella Doss Mrs.Bratton English 1-7 October 15, 2012 Humiliation. It went away slowly, the fear and anxiousness that came over me before my speech. My face was like a furnace , but the cool, salty tears were cooling it down, almost evaporating. The lingering heat and sweat from on my palms was still there, but at least it was over. The bell rang, announcing the end of fourth period. I dashed out of the classroom as prompt as I could, stopping for no one. My next class, youth leadership, was not much farther away. I could now feel the anxiousness start to kick in. My heart started to race frantically, feeling like it was going to pop out of my chest. My jaw started to tremble. My lunch, a peanut butter sandwich, was starting to trek up my throat. Public speaking has never been my forte, but I had no choice. The only thing that was going through my mind was, “this won't end well.” The tardy bell chirped like a bright yellow Canary , announcing the start of fifth period. Mrs. Maddox nonchalantly plodded into the room, wearing an orange top with flowers and leaves on it. Her hair was freshly highlighted, with frosty blondes and browns. “Are you guys ready for your speeches?” She asked. The room filled with groans and babble. “I’m taking that as a yes,” she replied. Mrs. Maddox took attendance and gathered her wooden clipboard and pen, preparing to listen to our speeches. “Are you ok?” asked my friend, Kenya. “I’m fine, just nervous. I hate presenting speeches,” I replied...

...The Soul of the Great Bell by Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) The water-clock marks the hour in the Tachung sz’, in the Tower of the Great Bell: now the mallet is lifted to smite the lips of the metal monster—the vast lips inscribed with Buddhist texts from the sacred Fa-hwa-King, from the chapters of the holy Ling-yen-King! Hear the great bell responding!—how mighty her voice, though tongueless! KO-NGAI! All the little dragons on the high-tilted eaves of the green roofs shiver to the tips of their gilded tails under that deep wave of sound; all the porcelain gargoyles tremble on their carven perches; all the hundred little bells of the pagodas quiver with desire to speak. KO-NGAI—all the green-and-gold tiles of the temple are vibrating; the wooden goldfish above them are writhing against the sky; the uplifted finger of Fo shakes high over the heads of the worshippers through the blue fog of incense! KO-NGAI!—What a thunder tone was that! All the lacquered goblins on the palace cornices wriggle their fire-coloured tongues! And after each huge shock, how wondrous the multiple echo and the great golden moan, and, at last, the sudden sibilant sobbing in the ears when the immense tone faints away in broken whispers of silver, as though a woman should whisper, “Hiai!” Even so the great bell hath sounded every day for well-nigh five hundred years—Ko-Ngai: first with stupendous clang, then with immeasurable moan of gold, then with silver murmuring of “Hiai!” And there is not a child in...

I sit down and immediately put my head down and waited to the bell rang I got up threw my paper on Mrs. Rein’s desk and dash out the room. I stayed in the bathroom until it was time to go.

...143993 Daniel Olivan EN12 (R70) March 27, 2015 Time Check July 21, 2014. It was another Monday and it was a school day. I woke up early and drove to Ateneo de Manila University where I took up chemistry with materials science engineering. It was my first year in college and the semester just started a month ago, so I was only beginning to get to know the people in my course. On that Monday, my first class was chemistry and good thing that it was only a 50-minute class. I cannot take in all the formulas that Dr. Valera just discussed. My stress level was already too high. It was 8:20 am. My blockmates, Mariel, Diego, and Magin wanted to eat first before their next classes start. They have class at 9:30 while my next one was at 10:30, so we all headed to JSEC which was a cafeteria. After choosing a table, I volunteered to reserve the table and keep guard of their bags while the three of them went to food stalls to order. I checked my phone and it was 8:30 already but still I see no sign of him. Magin was the first one who got back and sat down with his bacon and eggs with fried rice. I expected that he would have mentioned his name, but he didn’t. Instead, he talked about how difficult it was to remember all of the dates in our upcoming history exam next week. I agreed and started asking him what the coverage of the exam was, so that he wouldn’t notice that I wasn’t paying much attention to what he was saying. The truth was I just...

...The bell that signaled the end of the day at Woodworth Boys College finally rang. Mark sighed with relief, brushing his long messy hair out of his eyes as he grabbed his books and his bag from his desk. Mark shook his head in annoyance as his hair once again fell onto his dark Pakistani face. His hair was unkempt and dirty, but it's not like his family could afford for him to get a haircut. No, all the money went into getting Mark the best education that his parents could provide. Provided they did, his parents worked overtime, balancing many jobs at once, the fees for Woodsworth College were definitely not cheap. It was by far the best school in Detroit, Mark's home town. He and his parents had lived here since Mark was five, his parents...

...__________________________________________________________________________________ THE FOURTH DAY "THE GOLDEN OAK LIBRARY" (NON-TARGET) 6:48 AM "Well, maybe the fifth time's a charm?" Twilight teased while scraping Anonymous' previously failed breakfasts into the trashcan. "Cooking has been my mortal enemy for an eternity. Don't worry, I'll should be able to get at least one pancake this time." He said, adjusting the dial for the burner on Twilight's gas stove. Anonymous poured new batter in to the pan and sat it on the burner, adding the ingredients as he cooked. Twilight didn't say anything, she was just staring off into space. Anon looked back to investigate the cause of the silence, giggling when he saw Twi's face. "Have we really run out of things to talk about already?" Anon asked, laughing while doing so. Twilight's blank face snapped to attention. Then immediatly went back to her blank face while she thought. Most of the time they had spent together was in silence, as is they were total strangers. In a way, they were. They had just met yesterday and didn't know that much about each other. "No... It's just..." Twilight tried to explain her train of thought. "Eh, It's alright, don't feel like you're a bad friend." 'Friend' The skeptical antisocial alien called Twilight, The Element of Friendship a friend before she called him one. Now she really didn't feel like a good 'friend'. Judging by Anon's face, he didn't care about it at all. He was too busy reading the instructions...

...I was so pleased for the opportunity I had been offered of the schools principal! He took a look at my grades and he was rapidly in dialogue with my parents about school stuff. I thought that this would be my final opportunity to show who I really am. Something I wasn`t able to at my former school. So this would be my second chance and I was so excited! Before my first day at the new school I started getting a little nervous. A bit like performance anxiety when an actor is on stage for the first time. But unfortunately I never managed to control my anxiety. The thoughts about my new classmates were killing me! How were they like? Were they going to accept me for who I am? What if no one would talk to me? So many thoughts about my upcoming “new life”. I was so excited but at the same time so frightened. It was 7 o’ clock in the morning. My dad entered my room and did a great scene when he dropped the tray with bread and some freshly squeezed juice. I hoped this would be the first of many laughs that day! After my dads accident I took some of my favourite clothes on, so I would look presentable at my first day in “my new life”. When I was fairly pleased with the choice of my outfit I asked my dad to hurry up. He was incredibly slow when it came to getting ready in the morning. It was like he didn’t understand the concern for my first day at the new school. I knocked severely on the door and yelled loudly: “daddy! Why are you so slow?” He answered: “honey just mind your...

...It looked like it was going to be a quiet day, and Juliet felt grateful for the reprieve from students constantly interrupting her work to incessantly pester her and ask questions. It wasn't that she was unsocial, but after a long week of classes, and a healthy dose of her newly hellacious personal life, she couldn't say she didn't appreciate the silence. With a brief nod to the director of the University's library she eased her coat off to drop haphazardly on the chair she would be using for the evening behind the front desk. There was still another hour or so before her coworkers left and she would be alone for the closing shift, so with an easy shift of her attentions she moved the large assortment of returned books onto a dolly to reshelve. This was her favorite part about this job, despite how tedious it may seem, the quiet stillness of the library during lunch hour and taking advantage of it to wander through the stacks and methodically put things away? There was a system behind it. Order to it. It allowed her to just get a little lost in the mundane quiet activity and let her mind take it as a few moments of silence where she didn't have to be scrambling to control what was going on around her. She paused around some abandoned tables, collecting up reference materials that had been discarded and left behind by careless students. Juliet quietly wheeled the cart through the aisles, putting away the books that went on the first floor quietly. As she tucked a stray strand...
