Rebel Music by Daniel Felsenfeld is about a guy that finds his passion in classical music. The author's word choice helps you imagine the scene, like him listening the "real" music for the first time. The sentences flow together and aren't choppy. The words the author uses depends on the age he was in the writing later on when he writes about college his wording is more sophisticated than when he was referring to his childhood.
Personally I found the piece of writing strangely interesting since when the guy was younger he played classical music on the piano, but never really sought much interest within the pieces. Later on in his life, he describes the first time listening the Beethoven, the Most Beautiful Thing he ever heard. I thought it was really intriguing how something that the author once hated; he later found deep passion for. I thought it was an powerful literacy narrative but didn't have the same feel that the literacy narrative about cats brought. The narrative about Miriam's journal writing about cats made you feel her emotions bursting out of you. As for Rebel Music personally you have to relate in some sort of unique way to actually understand some of the feelings he brings on throughout the narrative.
Hi, Amanda! I thought your writing in this post was really great. I also read Rebel Music, and I thought it was very interesting too. Also, I liked how you compared Rebel Music with the literacy narrative about cats.

Hey, Amanda I really liked your post. I played the piano when I was younger and I didn't like it much either. I noticed you mentioned how he wrote differently based on what age he was talking about and I thought that was really good.
