How else beside music do people find a way to converse without using words? I have found this question to be very interesting and very challening. This is why I choose this question to answer. I started to put my brain to work an dthis is what I came up with. Another way people communicate without using words is using body language. Some people use their hand gestures to talk to one another, for example the deaf people use sign language and other body languages wothout facial expressions. Another example is when we're happy we smile and our face lights att up. When we're happy and excited about something we may jump up and down and use all our body to express our excitement. When we're sad we express i with a sad look or hanging our head down or just be the tears that flow down our face, but tears may also be able to represent a sign of relief or tears of joy. Then we have to think about how these babies communicate with others, as their cries and tears are differnet then of an adult. Baby's tears if cry can mean their hungry or wet. Could be that they don't feel good or maybe just because they want attention. Then there's anger, people ahow their anger by giving the other person the slience treatment and then rolling their eyes. Other people do it by ballilng up their fist at us and stomping their feet and some people throw things. Then there's love, there's a lot of ways to show love withor using words. We could show love with lots of hugs and kisses. Holding someone's hand and comforting them or sharing a special dinner with that someone we may love dearly. Body language and gifts are a big way I communicate with my family an dfriends and especially doing things for them. Other ways that people communicate without words is through dancing. One culture I know that communicates a lot through dancing are the Indians, as they dance for joy and they dance for love. The Indians dance to their gods for wisdom and guidance and for rain so their crops woud grow to feed their people. They would dance before they send their hunters to hunt, so as we could see dancing is a big way of communicate for some cultures. Other ways people communicate is through art, as a lot of famous artist communicate through their art. Have we ever heard the saying, " a picture says a thousand words" and it's true if we take our time and look at some pictures then they tell a story. For example, in Egyptain time we could go in the Pharos Tombs and in the walls we would see pictures that tell the story of the Pharos life. As we could see there is a lot of ways to communicate without words. Giving special attention or giving a gift like a rose, because they may mean the world to us or opening the door for that someone special. Communicate without words is baking someone a cake for their birthday. Making love to your partner and makeing them feel loved. By caressing and holding them close, is a big way of communicating to soeone that you care for. As we can see there are many different ways we can converse with one another without using words.

My Musical Library

The music I have in my Musicla Library is R&B, Country, Oldies and a lot of love songs. I have to say taking my time and going over my music collection, the music I like has to do with a lot of emotions. How a person feels about themselves and someone else that is in their life. How it feels to be in love and how much it hurts to fall out of ove. Some of my music is about the good and bad relationship we may go through in our lives.
The music talks about hoe much this special someone had captured my heart or how crazy in love I may have been with someone and who his eyes had st on someone else. Now some of the music I have tells a story about life in general, about family, growing up, and relationships. I have to say this type of music mostly comes from my country music collection. Like Patsy Cline, Barbra Mandrel, Kenny Rogers and my love songs come from all my collections. All this music touches me in so many different ways.
There are also certain songs in my collection that take me back in time, which reminds me of what I was going through and feeling at the time I heard that song. Some of the songs make me feel good inside and put a smile on my face and some make me cry. It's like as if the artist wrote those songs just for me. I have to say the way I choose my music through the years had to do with the way the lyrics of the songs touched me, as the music had to have a meaning in my life. The song either explained my feelings at the time or it lifted me up or it just brought joy and made me dance as if I had happy feet.
We could say when I was in a relationship I listen to a lot of love songs and when my heart was broken I listen to broken hearted love songs. These kinds of songs were mostly the oldies like songs that came stright from the heart.
Some of my music collections also had to do with the artist, as with how they sang the songs and their musical backgrouud. Also how they made it as a singer and how some of their songs had to do with their lives, as by knowing this about htem I could relate to the artist's music a lot more. I could tell that the lyrics of their songs came from deep down inside their soul, so when the artist sang the song they sang it with so much emotion to where I could tell what the artist was trying to say. The songs touched me in a big way, and knowing about the artist help me to relate to their music better.
The music that I have listened to throughout the years hasn't changed; just new artist and their songs have been added to my long collection of music. My style of music had stayed the same, as it is still R&B, Country, Oldies and love songs. This is the type of music that has made a difference throughtout my life and will continue to. Music will always be a big part in my life.

How Music Has Influenced My Life

How Music Has Influenced My Life

Music has always played an important part throughout my life. Music has help me to express my feelings though out my life, as certain songs has help me to go through different things in my life. As far back as I could remember music has brought a lot of both joy and sandness into my heart.
I've taken music classes as far back as the 3rd grade and I didn't only like to listen to it I liked to sing it as well too. Music would inspire me, when I sang a song, as I felt the music go on through my body. My emotions went with the lyrics of the music and when I sang I felt I was someone important. When I sang, I would sing with no emotion, as I wanted my song to touch my audience and touch their emotions. I wanted mu audience to feel what I was feeling inside. I wanted their soul to take the lyrics of the song and change it to an emotional feeling.
There's a lot of ways that music has help me throughout my life. When I fell in love the lyrics of some songs expressed the way I was feeling at the time. It helped me to espress the love I had in mu heart, so strongly. It help me to express my feelings in words, where I would write them down and then I would share then with the special someone. When I was gong through hard times and I felt so alone, music help me to understand the hurt and frustrations I was feeling. It helped me through it, by helping me to let my out my feelings. I had felt so many times throughout my life that some of the songs I listen to told my life story just by saying what I was feeling and going through. Music sometimes helped me to fine solutions to my struggles I would be going through. When i didn't feel loved, I would feel so alone. I would sing " What the World Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love". That was the perfect song for the way I was feeling at the time and the song made me understand the emotions I was going through. I was letting out my feelings with this song. To this day, I could hear a certain song and it takes me back in time to somewhere in my past. When that song became a big part of my life, and by listening to this song I could tell you what I was going through and feeling at the time, as it's like writing a diary through music.
There are a lot songs that have a big part of my life; I could honestly say they could tell my whole life story. Music has changed my life and music has helped me to stay on the right road and help me to make the right choices in my life. Music also has help me to see how I fitted into this crummy world we live in and how we could make a difference in this world we live in. As long as music continues to reach out to me the way it has my understanding and appreciation for music will grow, becuase it will continue to touch my soul.
