==EMILY THE STRANGE the lost days ~ a novel ~ reger, Rob. == = //Choose 6. Please write at least 25-50 words for each response.// =

I noticed how the author ﻿ When describing Emily he/she gives the author is always giving emily the sense of wisdom and the logical thinking that she has. Emily is always so adventurous and before it all has it all planned and ready for her final extraordinary adventure. Also the surrounding in the story always seem so mysterious giving always the sense of strangeness. The book in regular is about emily being strange to the people of little black rock. But I like the way the author makes you be apart of that.

The main character of this book is a "strange" girl who is named Emily in the book Emily is the writer basically she writes this journal because she has amnesia at the beginning she is found lost and unknown to the city of "black rock." she meets such interesting people and emily because of her amnesia decides to give her self a name (nick-Name) she calls' her self earwig. Because of Raven the expresso mysterious lady, gorgeous, bird brain. Emily tries to investigate with the help of her companion friends the 4 black cats that follow her around. Her journey is epic and the-story is always keeping you interested.

The character development It is so epic Emily begins from just not knowing anything to everything. Emily is strange but a cool stranger (literally strange.) She is curious, and always awed about her self she is eager to know the truth behind her self. And loves to do things most people do't like to do. As well as her discoveries are such great entertainment such as when she is getting ticketed by the police for trespassing and for the junk-mail incident. Her character develops slowly but it seems as you could picture everything in your mind from the first day that she finds her self unknown when she walks in the "El Dungeon" and meets Raven and then by inventing ways to make life fun from fixing machines, and sleeping in a Refrigerator box and "MOLLY???",and so on. ======  ** The structure of this book ** in my point of view is that every part of the story makes a tower for example

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">LEFT HANDEDNESS BAD OR GOOD??? O_o

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"> In the article of the left hand people it is important because it shows the different ideas of the way people act and believe try to find the answer of why people are different… but in my opinion i believe people are just born different and that does not make anyone less human. But in fact I was aware of the reeducation LEFT HANDERS received because of their difference. In fact just like I mentioned the other day my sister is left handed and she also never learned how to write in print she can only write in hand-writing. And before if i recall correctly I once saw a little girl that came to school when I was in kinder that had her hand burned because of that. I always used to help her out with her writing and she looked very unpleased. I believe because she was detained from the special way she was born that way she wrote made her happy and I think it is fine. Just as specialist talk about what might cause such "disorder" when in fact I don't think is a disorder but people think differently and that is what makes us human. In the article as well it is mentioned various illnesses that might lead to this.

=<span style="font-family: Helvetica,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: normal;"><== = my violin = 1.)What are the cords meaning the name of each string? Ok so in the violin there is 4 types of strings there is an E string which is the thinest and the most high note depending. I Will explain more about sounding later on. Ok then we have The A string which is the Mid last and produces a sound between Soft and high a sort of like a less high note, Then Following one is the 2nd last And the name of the string is The D string this string is a bit more thicker but the violin strings are gradually reduced in circumference meaning the highest notes will be produced with the E string and Then the Lowest with the G string, The G string Is a high vibrant Note Which produces a More Augment sound This String In my opinion is the One that rarely ever breaks unless you play HARD CORE!!! But The E & A careful don't tense The strings too much or the strings will break... :)

2.) what are the names of each note POSITION

POSITION

POSITION 3.) how do you hold the bow? holding a bow the right way is achieved by gently placing your index finger on the grip of the bow between the first and second knuckle. simply placing the pinky on the tip on the flat part of the bow stick just behind the top. making sure to keep your hold slightly curved. While the other fingers are placed equally at distances from each other, on the same edge. And your ring finger should be covering the pearl circle on the side of the frog. Your thumb must rest underneath the bow stick placing it in front of the bow-hair underneath also bending the first joint of the thumb at an oblique angle. (if you straighten your thumb this will cause, or produce poor tone.) Grip should be relaxed such as holding a ball (small ball.) This at the beginning can be stressful and difficult but don't give up Practice makes perfect!!! :)

4.) what is the precise posture to achieve a perfect grip?

well this a tiny description on how are the basic posture of a violin hold, first of all THE PROCESS OF THE POSTURE AND HOLD IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR SOME AND EASY FOR OTHERS IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU!! the complete article is here (http://www.violinist.com/violin/how-to-hold-a-violin/) You must comprehend that every individual is Different, Every individual must make various physical accommodations in order to play the violin. As a a quantity of beginning students many reach nearly perfect Posture and position, With the ability to hold a violin with no struggle what so ever. But as such a beginner many professional violinist struggle with such Topic of a posture and hold. By considering and studying issues of posture and shoulder Rests and adding to left hand techniques. Here is a brief and basic View to the posture and the hold....

A violin must rest on the collar bone and be supported properly by the right hand as well the shoulder (consider a shoulder rest) ( I in my opinion don't want one Well I had one and broke it, But I feel much more natural and comfortable without a shoulder rest)

The violin can be held easily and comfortably for further long periods of time if it is held correctly and if you prefer using a shoulder rest. And The chin rest (meaning the Black or maybe other colored Usually black It is a a type of leaf or little platform on the end of the violin.) And shoulder rest/pad when carefully fitted this refers to the before mentioned. The violin should rest on the collar bone The purpose of The chin rest is to protect the varnishing and as well a comfortable place for the jaw. The violin must also be supported gently not held tightly/oppressing/forcing By your left hand. The neck of your violin must gently be against the base of the of the knuckle of your first finger on your left hand your thumb must also be slightly be in contact with the neck of the violin. Across the first or second finger This is why ? Because the fist finger provides most of the support for the neck of the violin. And the thumb providing gentle counter pressure this helps the violin not slide into the web of the thumb...

5.) what are the best types of violin rosin? there are so many violin rosin types from the light to the black dark ones...

6.) how do you know you can finally compose a melody? There is no real time when or why to compose a melody simply it is in you... This is in my opinion what I believe it is necessary to produce such melody ok so You want to compose a melody...? "yes!" you say right, Ok then The important things are most musicians are often inspired by and feel the necessity to compose a melody. The basic thing is too know your notes even if yet you have not yet even hit a single note on your instrument well but you have the knowledge of the notes,. That is why most music teachers tell you or the lessons begging with the learning of notes and strings or depending on your instrument basically the basics, But as if you are too inpatient... STOP!!! learn your notes... You see I can compose music in my head but how can I make people hear this song I have in my head. I need to have an idea about the notes so my beautiful master piece can become real... I suppose many great and talented (example) Violinist maybe at the beginning composed songs and had no idea that they could bring them to life because of their absence of notes. As children many of us make songs up and mumble them or sing them, If we had the knowledge of notes. Who knows We could of composed thousands of compositions... In conclusion if you have a magnificent buddy that understands your mumbling then he/she can compose such melody but my dear people you can read others mumbles too with the magic of NOTES!! :)

7.) what makes a musician? A musician is a separation into two individuals suppose that there is two violinist right...? Ok, so one is a super geek with it's instrument reads articles just like I do 24/7 plays "uh-mm..." <== so-so (me so mean) anyway, Is just playing and in the formal term is a master at his instrument. But he/she has concert or suppose plays in a Train-station or lounge anywhere or maybe even a recital.. Ok, so the act begins the crowd enters in awe... they comment on the performance and expect good... or if in the lounge the people demand entertaining, (The sub station is a touch of my meanness...) back to the performance, The first song begun to play and the crown has not even shaded a tear, Not a trace of fullness or interest, many feel they wasted there life... As you notice The crowd has no feeling Why..? you may ask here goes...

See the problem is not how good he/she is it is the passion here is my explanation in the birth of a master he or she is not born a master unless learned, Even so 2nd does not come 1st and ,1st does not come 2nd see... Ok, The universal language of music, think about that and let's see our not so good violinist. A man/women beginner But has always been in-love with this instrument passion dreams of such, plays at home teaches him/herself breaks strings, But gets the chance of a recital ("oh...Why not! the lame one got a chance let this one too...!!!") The crowd comes back from the ear bleeding performance from the loser player... Then come too see the violinist.. THEY EXPECT WONDER!!! The violinist gets ready is shaking but is so in love talks even to the violin.. Such as a child, I do that! Bows in respect towards the audience and plays a symphonic wonder. The firsts notes are a mixture of fear and happiness, The euphoria in the hands of such player, The notes that break come and go but the audience ignores such, for the audience hears the violins cries... "it is said that violins cry" Each note that the violinist strums makes the audience tremble in agony as such a spell was cast and hypnotized every one. The violinist enters a trance as such his hands where conducted in a robotized way. The audience Cry and at the end. They clap and get up from their seats they so pleased they applaud. The violinist cries,bows and even if his E string and A string have completely ripped and his fingers are blistered he finds satisfaction for his wounds are gifts, gifts as such this blood united him and makes a symbolic pact.....

8.) Where can I find violin lessons? Violin lesson can be wedged from 0$ to a quantity of 80$- or more depending right, wether you pay 0 or a 1,000,000$!!! i believe even if you have to learn by your own hand, O r a i don' know mariachi lessons even if you don't on even being a mariachi you take the basic classes and learn to play the violin . But for rich people No such thing as a free class or a person who will give you classes outside. They pay even an hour to a teacher for just giving simple lessons. And In significance don't you think it is over board. Any how the importance is that even with a bit of sacrifice you have what gives contentment to your heart, The beauty of music. And even if you must have to see youtube videos,maybe a mariachi class, or watch people play and lear from the TV or a book. So consider maybe searching in the internet for local free or payed classes, for example maybe not so close to my home but it's reachable there is such as violin classes and cello and piano etc... I interest in Violin now but when in and ok player I will begin to lear cello,piano, what ever comes. So the classes are 15$ or 20$ monthly but they provide metal band classes,in different areas an the teachers are personal. They have singing, and other classes. But this is a big help hopefully my daddy gets stabilized with his budget and can at least buy me some rosin or strings.. he will provide ;) YOU CAN LEARN GO FOR IT!!!! dont ever give up...

9.) The Musical language?

Remember I said to think about the topic the musical language well here is what a musical language is ... Well it is known to be a gift that not so many people acquire supposedly you gain it and have it since you are a child, The point of when i said mumbling REMEMBER IN THE QUESTION # 7 WHAT MAKES A MUSICIAN... so ok mumbling in people maybe in the way of remembrance of a song or something but I mean mumbling like making songs. Not many people can produce music in a quick time i mean that let's say you Become inspired by something right and mumble a song. That is called the language when you go or hear a song,an musician play and you can understand what they are feeling it is sort like a sensation in your chest a stinging but does not cause harm it does not hurt you. It is pleasant but that is a sign of you understanding musical language. Then also let's say you perform remember the violinist that did not transmit the audience any emotion he/she did not have an understanding or does not care for the connection between him/her and the instrument. When you do have the language most people are naturally using it and maybe I believe not so many people have it because of who you are. So the language is universal no others no matter if you go to africa,Japan anywhere that is what unites us musical knowledge no math,needed,no science... Either way if you don't poses the language this is difficult but if you put effort then you will achieve first of all you must be able to be in harmony with your body,mind,and soul. Connecting this will be the result between you and the instrument you will feel that attachment and that connection between you and your audience. Without this language you cannot play... you just utilize an instrument with no soul...

10.) Violin strings how? Where? what? materials,and prices...

<span style="color: #7c0bd5; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are two parts to a violin string: the core and the winding.

<span style="color: #7c0bd5; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The core can be made of different materials. Steel cores are the cheapest strings (from about $10 for a set), and they tend to be very bright. Synthetic core strings have a deeper and stronger sound, but retain the tuning stability of the metal strings. The most powerful strings have catgut (It's called catgut, but it's really from sheep) cores. They usually have the best sound, but they can get expensive (up to $100 a set).

<span style="color: #7c0bd5; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The winding is usually made of nickel or aluminum. Silver is also used, especially on the G and D strings. Some brands also use titanium winding.

<span style="color: #7c0bd5; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">E strings are generally stright wires made of steel or stainless steel. Sometimes they are wound to provide a softer sound or prevent whistling (a very high sound sometimes made when crossing strings). Often E strings are also gold plated to provide a sweeter sound.

<span style="color: #7c0bd5; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The colored windings at either end of a string denote the string's brand/model and and pitch (E, A, D, G).

=<span style="color: #504026; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">Learning to be an expert violinist: (summary from 1 article) Care of bows =

The care of bows as I learned in the article in this link (http://www.feinviolins.com/infoview.php?ID=107) Bows are extremely fragile you must take be taken care properly A bow cannot be left out for children can step on it or other accidents. Bows are very expensive and can't be always repaired. If your bow breaks from the ridge then you have no solution and this repair may cost you a lot. A bow must be stored in the case and be protected always never forget to loosen the bow hair after playing for the bow hair stretches and shrinks with humidity. If your hair shirks and have not loosen the bow hair than the bow hair may snap off. Always remember to re-hair your bow once every year. But if your intentions aren't to play the violin in a time let's say 2-3 weeks put some moth balls in the case because bugs attract to such and can damage your violin, Also bugs love to eat the bow hair. Also if your bow hair is eaten by the middle or so then you may have carpet beetle larvae. Be sure to constantly vacuum your case take good care of it and use moth repellants once every so weeks... Bows must be cared with such as they where crystal and be never manipulated with care. Remember never be uncaring and leave your bow thrown around. consider more practices by your hand hopefully this helped....

DO NOT applaud by tapping your bows on the music stand in front of you: Many bows have been broken this way.
