Snapshot Four: Music & using
Flashbacks for evidence
The
medicine to my stress. That’s what music means to me. Music for me has always
been my go to whenever I am stressed or want to get away from the world. I’ll
be the one that puts headphones in and have it on full blast. When I’m
listening to music I do not want to be able to hear anyone or have a
conversation while listening to music.
The
genre of music that I have always listened to is country and pop. However, the
genre that means the most to me is country. While living on a farm in the
country of course you are going to listen to country. I grew up listening to
country. Country music to me always has a good message behind it. Also, there is
a good variety of tempos for country music; not all the songs are too slow or
too fast. One of the current musicians that I like is Carrie Underwood because
all her songs have a meaning behind them. For example, her song See You Again has a meaning towards
military families who are moving on after a death of a loved one or wanting to
see their loved one again.
Every
year at our country fair there is always some country band that performs
towards the end of the week. Occasionally I’ll go to the actual concert
depending on who is playing but then again the concert is so load I can listen
to it while sitting in the dairy barn. However, in 2005 a country singer, Rodney
Atkins came and performed at the fair. My mom bought tickets for my family and I
to go and we got front row seats in the grandstands. Rodney Atkins performed his
song Cleaning This Gun which I relate
to and I think it’s important because it talks about when a boy takes a girl out
and he meets the parents and the father will be waiting for them to come home and
will be cleaning his gun. I relate to this song because like in the song the girl
is a daddy’s girl just like I am with my dad.

I like how you said the song cleaning this gun has a good message i told with you there.
ReplyDeleteI love how you started out your writing by saying, "The medicine to my stress". I think this is where your writing is at its best because it draws the reader in.
