Assignment #7

When I watched "Hello World" by Lady Antebellum I felt that the music changed. The music video really helps you understand the actual song, and makes you think about the lyrics. The music video gives the song a stronger meaning and expresses the tone and theme in a better way.

I think that songs and lyrics should be acted out because it helps the audience or reader understand the song and its lyrics better. When you actually see someone act out a song and its lyrics, its 3-D and you don't have to really think to understand what the writer is saying.

Sometimes music isn't meant to be acted out because then you get to think about it more and feel it in your heart. Acting music out gives the song away, where as if it isn't it has a deeper meaning, like I had said.

Music is great for indivduals to escape and listen to. When someone is happy or sad, they tend to listen to music because it helps them to relax or get pumped up. For example, when someone loses a pet or is having a bad day they listen to music to make them feel better. When my soccer team and I are just about to play a game we always listen to music to pump us up so we have more energy.

Spring Break

This year for spring break, I went to Hawai'i with my volleyball team. I had an amazing time and it was totally worth the fundraising. We did many things such as hiking, snorkeling, partying (Luau), just chilling on the beach, shopping and playing volleyball. Here is a picture of Jenessa, Mr. Seminoff and I at Hanauma Bay.

There were three things that I really enjoyed. One of them was the Luau. The Luau was very interesting and we got to learn about the Hawaiian culture, which was very neat. We ate lots of food there, made palm headbands and got some sweet tattoos. After dinner, there was lots of dancing from the men and women at Paradise Cove Luau, and the men were goodlooking which was a bonus.

The other thing that I really enjoyed was snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.  I have never experienced something so neat. I loved seeing all the different fish, coral and different sea creatures.The water was so pretty and was a great temperature to snorkel in. One of the best parts was burying Marina in the sand, we got a laugh out of that.

The last thing that I enjoyed was playing with the other volleyball teams in Hawai'i. It was neat to see how they practice and play volleyball. They are very good players and really intimidated us. The girls we played against were very kind and generous. It was great to make new friends from a different country (state). We played two teams from different schools and we also played beach volleyball, which we split up our team into other teams.

My spring break was lots of fun and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Sometime later in my life I would like to visit Hawai'i again.

Alohhhaa!
