media type="file" key="The book.mp3"  A recent event that I had was going to the library. I was looking for a Japanese language book so that I could read a book I wanted. I was looking up and down the tall isles and not finding it. I saw german books, French books, Chinese books, and some Spanish books. The German books felt hard and old, like they'd been there a while. The Chinese books were rather thin and paper back, although one was a black hard cover. As I trailed my finger across them, scoping the premises for my Japanese book, I heardthe typing sound coming from the computer section, where my mom was. It was only closing time so I had to hurry. I found a yellow paperback book and snagged it quickly because it said Japanese Pronunciation. I hurredly checked it out and ran out the door, dragging my mom as well. That was an experience. media type="file" key="Oslundsymphony.mp3" My symphony's unifying theme will be kind of nature-like and earthy. I can do lots of strings for the first movement, but softly, and some piano for the second with possibly with the acoustic guitar. I think I spelled that right. I think I could mix in a little Debussy in my ending. I really like the ending to Claire de Lune. Anyway, I think the nature theme would be cool because I feel inspired by that. Flowers, trees, bodies of water, and landscapes always give me great ideas. Nature would be a fantastic theme for me! media type="file" key="Symphony movement In my second movement, I used soft piano pieces and a steady guitar piece to incorporate with my theme. Since my theme is nature, I wanted to kind of make the feel like a night in a garden-beautiful, but a bit suspenseful. This movement was supposed to be soft, so I made them quiet and smooth, but still intense.

**Symphony- Third movement** media type="file" key="third movement_oslund.mp3"  In my third movement, I tried to make it sound final and still incorporate my theme, which was nature. All the strings and the drum kit- which I haven't used in any of my other movements- made the feel of the movement sound more loud and out there. I think it kind of sounds like trees rustling or leaves blowing the wind. The drums would be like running through a forest. The feel of this movement is very earthy. Plus the ending with the symbol is at exactly the right time.
