Music

Authors note: After having a discussion with Mr. Roehl, Mr. Johnson, and a couple of my peers, I decided I needed to show Mr. Roehl why music is so important. I am trying a somewhat new form of my writing; persuasive writing. Also, I am continuing to try and use thesis statements in my writing.

I believe that music is multi-talented. Not only can it entertain you when you're bored, it can also help you work. Another thing is that just playing music can sometime really affect your mood. Music is the greatest joy in life and I think everyone should have that joy within their hearts.

When you're doing chores, or somethings terribly boring, don't you think music helps lighten the dull and boring mood? Or at least keeps you somewhat entertained while you're doing the necessary, but dreary tasks in life? Well, I do at least, and I'm almost positive nearly everyone agrees with me. (Except for Mr. Roehl)

(If you play an instrument, you probably know exactly what I'm about to talk about.)

Do you ever just feel like you're going to explode? Or that your sadness from an event is overtaking you? Try sitting (or standing) down and playing an instrument. It doesn't have to be a happy song, or something you think might help. Sometimes it is best to just take out your emotion in your music, and let your feelings show in the piece you are playing.

I know Mr. Roehl says he'd rather just be with his thoughts, than have music in the background, but I would find that extremely boring. I asked a few of my friends what they thought and all of them said they'd rather listen to music. "(unless you're vacuuming)" one of them said.

I just want to say that music has played a very big role in my life. Even just little chores like cleaning the kitchen, I almost always have music in the background. If I try and imagine all of those chores, boring days, and long car rides without music, well, I can't. I think everyone should constantly have music in their lives. Almost everyday.
