For this week's discussion I chose yet another favorite from my standard set-list. The song is "All For You" by Sister Hazel. (1997).
The song structure goes like this:
Verse 1- 0:07
Chorus 1- 0:34
Verse 2- 0:52
Chorus 2- 1:20
Bridge- 1:38
Verse 3 (which is lyrically the same as the first verse)- 2:21
Chorus 3- 2:48
Chorus 4- 3:23
Coda- 3:23
The song is simple in style, which lends itself to being catchy and easy to remember. This probably helps explain why it became their signature song, and why people who have never heard of Sister Hazel, still recognize "All For You". (Even if they think it's by Blues Traveler.) The bridge works because it begins with a mellow call and answer style set of lyrics that accentuate the harmonies, and then ramps up with a lively guitar solo that carries the momentum of energy through to the coda. As a musician, I think the bridge serves to alter or reiterate the tone for the remainder of the song, allowing a build up or transition to the final verse and chorus. As a singer, the bridge serves to give me a chance to catch my breath (and make sure I can remember the rest of the lyrics) before the end of the song. I think that in the case of Baroque music, there was less need for a bridge because pieces were orchestral and individual instruments would have had solos that were worked into the body of the song, accenting whatever tone the composer sought to convey in any given movement. Bridges give the otherwise lyrically driven songs of modern music a chance to show off the instruments that can otherwise end up as background.

The song is very interesting because while it follows strophic form, it uniquely uses two part verses in each verse. It can be prevalently heard in verse one which begins at 0:27 and the second part can be heard at 0:54 with "I close my eyes, and think of home". From there, the chorus begins at 1:17. Verse 2 begins at 1:42 "Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind" but seems to use a more traditional style verse without a second part. The second chorus begins at 2:07. From there, the bridge starts at 2:33 utilizing parts of the intro to the song leading into the guitar solo. After the bridge and solo, the last chorus plays at 3:40. Many heavy metal songs follow a similar structure as this one. Utilizing the bridge in a song can lead the listener to reflect on previous moments of the song and gear them up for the next part. This makes using a bridge the perfect transition from core song to the solo.

I can’t say why composers in the Baroque period didn't utilize
this style of bridge. It probably wasn't popular until someone
made it popular. That said, during the Baroque period,
composers included a pause in the music to allow the audience
to reflect on what they just heard and ready them for the next
section to come. This pretty much serves the same purpose as a
modern strophic form bridge. As time changed and tastes
evolved, I feel so did music and the way composers expressed
themselves leading to the type of bridge you hear today in many
songs.

When a child is born, they rely on their parents for protection,
guidance, and how to navigate in this world as an individual.
They also take on their parent’s characteristics for example
monkey see monkey do. But when a child is in an environment
where, they are being abused or neglected they start acting out
in different ways, expressing themselves mostly through
negative actions. For example, there are many different types of
abuse physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, etc., children
who are mental abuse are subjected to a feeling they can never
do anything right or not really feeling they have a belonging
anywhere. Children who are subjected to physical abuse are
usually quiet, scared, or mean, abusive, etc., sometimes they do
act out in school, stores, church, etc., as a coping mechanism.
Children who are subjected to sexual abuse are usually afraid
and withdrawing from people due to the traumatic experience
one or more individual has caused them. Nonmatter what a child
is subjected to it's sad that they have to go through any
traumatic experience in the first place. But being subjected to
any type of abuse, children of abuse can develop different types
4. of mental disorders. Example, Anxiety disorders, Panic attacks,
social anxiety, etc.
Next, referring directly to the textbook, briefly explain all three
elements of the Integrated model.
Child abuse can stem from biological vulnerability, meaning if
a child is raised in an abusive
home or raised by a culture that has strong beliefs it can be
handed down because the
biological makeup has been established for generations,
therefore the psychological issues are
physically and emotionally handed down. This type of
environment can destroy a child fast
because it’s an escalated environment of negativity.
Last, select one form of an anxiety disorder and explain how
one of the elements of the integrated model can be used to
explain the origins of that disorder. Anxiety disorders to choose
from include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social
anxiety phobia, specific phobia, separation anxiety disorder,
selective mutism, and agoraphobia.
Post-traumatic stress disorder, child abuse brings on post-
traumatic stress disorder.
The abuse causes the child to become physically and
emotionally terrified (PTSD). Post-
traumatic stress disorder is trauma to the brain and can lead to
panic attacks, social anxiety,
5. etc.

In my opinion, being visual means to be able to provide enough
details for the reader to create an image in their mind. However,
despite how well the writer feels that they describe what they
are trying to, the reader may have created a very different
picture in their head. Images are key to writing because if the
reader can not visualize what is happening in the piece that they
are reading, they will lose interest in continuing to read. I do
think in images quite often. Actually, more often than not. I
tend to see what I am reading more like a movie in my head. I
also do this when someone is telling me a story or when I am
trying to remember details of a prior event or conversation. I
believe that focusing allows one to pay attention to detail and
be able to provide the right amount of detail in one's writing so
that the reader is able to grasp all of what is happening or has
happened.

when we say art is a sensory experience we mean, that reading
is dimensional. they are many feelings you should be able to
experience when a writer has formatted its text correctly. like
visualizing what you are reading . Back in high school we read
a novel by Edgar Allen Poe titled " The Raven ". in this book i
was able to close my eyes and visualize how dark and
mysterious the chamber was and how quietly spooky the knock
on the door came about.

Sensory to me means to hear music, to visualize something in
your mind after reading words that have been written. I am an
avid reader and it is so important to me that the Author is
6. detailed about what they are describing. I read the book from
Stephen King it was called "Misery". When I read this book
Stephen King was so detailed about everything he wrote. One
part I remember that the lady that was holding the man captive
was outside mowing the lawn and I felt like i could smell the
grass as it was being cut because he was so detailed in how he
wrote. There were certain acts of cruelty that she did to this
man and I felt like I was there and felt for this man

That's a very interesting formula to determine the speed of the
vehicle. I was startled when the police officer, Sgt. Brown,
stated the vehicle skid 102 feet after hitting the brakes. Seems
like to me that is a long ways to skid. That's 30 yards, basically
a third length of football field. Before the Sargent revealed the
formula I was thinking the driver was doing 60-maybe 70 mph.
Turns out it was only 46 mph. The formula used is The formula
(speed is equal to the square root of 30 times the distance of the
skid, 102 feet, times a coefficient of 0.7 for friction. Questions
out of curiosity are is the weight of the vehicle part of the
coefficient, and how much Does the friction or drag time change
with wet roads?
