Music:
Music in The Tempest and in My Life
Music has different effects on different people. For some it lets them focus on dreaming. For others it makes the want to dance. But no matter who the person is, it affects them.
TS Everyone has something that calms them, something that can push everything out of their mind so they can have a peaceful moment. SD Caliban’s peaceful place is when hearing the islands music. CM Caliban cannot pick when the magnificent music starts to play. CM But whenever it starts the “ thousand twangling instruments” can make him forget about everything else. SD When this music starts he cannot stop falling into a dream. CM The music is so strong that even after a long sleep he will still fall into a dream when the music begins. SD While reading “The Tempest” I noticed that imprisonment was brought up a lot. CM Caliban is imprisoned when the music starts to play. CM But to Caliban the music is a good imprisonment, because he is trapped in his dreams. CS Caliban has found his peaceful place through music.
TS Music can be found any where in my life. SD No matter what I’m doing music is there to help me do it. CM Doing my homework is never a fun thing to do. CM If I have my music on I can sing along and it makes the time go by little bit quicker. SD Another way that music is in my life is when I play the piano. CM I’m not the best pianist, but when I finally master a song, it makes me feel exhilarated [FAST]. CM practicing the piano can be tedious [fast] but knowing that I will be able to make my own music is worth it. SD Just like Caliban I can be imprisoned by music. CM When my Ipod turns on and the music starts to play I start to feel excitement. CM When this feeling starts I can’t help but to sing and dance along.
Music can do many things. It can help you, it can make you dance, it can make you dream, or it can put you in a trance. It will always be around you.

KATE!
Great job, I especially enjoyed reading how music affects you. But be sure to use all of the special requirements, and label them. Also, be sure to use quotes, and blend them in your sentences!
OMG! Kate, this is a really great piece of writing. I loved the way you took Caliban's imprisonment but turned it into good. I saw a few capitalization promblems and also a few commas you could put in. Other than that Kate...
YOU ROCK!
