Music And Its Effect On People
1836 Words - 7 Pages.... whether they take it seriously or not, it has or will somehow change the way in which they think, act, and fell on or about certain things.

The Difference Between Punk And Ska
584 Words - 3 Pages.... It may sound very strange, but it sounds good all put together.
Not only are some of the instruments different, but the ones that are the same are played differently. There are differences in sound effects, methods of playing, and beat. Punk will use a lot of distortion, but not a lot of other effects like flangers and wahs. It is fairly easy to hear what they are playing.

Random acts of kindness surrounded us for the whole weekend. I saw a boy climb through the mud to get someone he had just ....
