Jack, The Best Musician There Ever Was!

When I grow up, I Think I'd be a great musician. I've always enjoyed rock, folk, and other genres. One of my favorite things to do is to sing and play guitar for an every day hobby. I even had some experience at performing in front of an audience. I learn quickly, I love performing, and I'm really good at guitar. Therefore, I will be the best musician there ever was!

Learning has always come naturally to me. There was this one time I taught myself because Dad was to busy to teach me. I'm always trying to improve my work. Whenever I play, it's like I am in my habitat. Being able to learn quickly is the first step along the path to becoming a musician.

Also, performing is another thing I really enjoy. It's so exciting to get up in front of people and tell a joke, say a line or sing a song. When I'm performing, I feel like I am in my every day life, except in front of hundreds of people. I am to performing, what a comedian is to a joke. Being able to perform for the rest of my life would be awesome.

Playing the guitar takes a special talent. I gained a lot of experience at guitar from my Dad, though nowadays I teach myself. I learned a lot about the fingerings (or chords), single string songs (songs that only use one string at a time, or no chords), and strumming techniques. For example, I can play the Pink Panther using single strings, but I can also play King of the Road with chords, not even to mention the hundreds (or in reality possibly 30-50) songs I also can play. The time I spent practicing the guitar is sure to give me an advantage when it comes to being a musician.


The three most important ingredients required in order to become successful a musician are learning, performing, and playing the guitar, and I've got them all! I want to be the best musician ever (or at least the 2nd best, possibly 3rd) I'm never so happy as when I'm n the midst of my music. It's like my dad said "Son, you've gone beyond me (which is a good sign, mind you)." When I play the guitar, whether It's on my own or for my family, I feel like I am in my natural habitat, and that is why I will be the best musician there ever was!!!!!!!!

Among the Hidden Review

Among the Hidden review

"Among the Hidden", by Margaret Peterson-Haddix, is about a boy named Luke Grander, who is a "third" child that meets another third child by the name of Jean. Third children are illegal this era, so it's a really, really big deal to even communicate with people outside of his family to Luke. Jean is organizing a rally against the government,and wants Luke to be apart of it. Luke refuses, warning jean that she might be shot, but she does it any way. After being shot at the rally (duh, who didn't see that coming?), Jean's dad helped cover Luke's identity, so he can continue Jeans' work.

One of the main themes in this book is be careful when rebelling the government. You can see this theme when Luke found out Jean got killed at the rally. the government is powerful, and by powerful I mean willing to kill. To organize a rally that just marches up to a highly guarded place, such as the white house, unprotected is probably one of the best ways to get killed, for sure. I mean, it's like tickling the sleeping lion, if you anger him, he bits off your head. But if you are careful, government rebel can be effective.

I would recommend this book to people who love fights for freedom. I loved it because I'm one of those people that once they start reading a book, they're like in a trance, can't wake them up.I feel what the characters feel, unless they're doing something stupid. Then I either look away, or say, "what are they thinking?!?!!" or something along those lines. If any of these things apply to you, read on.
