Flute

What instrument do you play? Do you play a woodwind instrument, a brass instrument, a strings instrument or a percussion instrument? Well with all the many instruments to choose from I chose the flute from the woodwind section. Normally girls play this instrument but boys can play it as well. It has many notes and looks very complicated with all the buttons to press. But once you know the main notes, it's pretty easy.

The flute makes a very high sound but is sometimes very hard to hear when many instruments are being played at the same time because all the loud noise makes it hard to hear the high pitched sound of the flute. When it is played in solos it has a nice tone and when on high notes you can hear it over almost anything. The flute can be a very good background instrument or being the solo because it can be very loud and you can hear it's sharp and clean sound.

Flutes were known to exist in ancient times. They have been made out of either wood or metal. Early flutes were more like recorders because the were played vertically. Until 1847 a man named  Theobald Boehm had made the modern flute. It was better than the old flutes and you could play entire scales. One of the main changes was that it could be played to the side. Soon there was a whole flute family consisting of the C Flute (most common), the C Piccolo, the Alto Flute and the Bass Flute. 

Many people now can buy a flute and play it as there instrument. Many people who had written flute music are J.S. Bach, Claude Debussy and Ralph Vaughan. Also there are many famous performers such as James Galway and Ian Anderson.

Shift by: Kim Curran

What would it be like if you had the power to undo any situation in a blink of an eye? Well in the book Shift by: Kim Curran you can have that power. In this world there are regular people and shifters. Shifters can undo any situation but only if they follow the laws of shifting. To shift they just have to think about it and it will happen. But some consequences can be that if they encounter another shifter that has stronger shifting power than them they will have to live the other shifter's wish.

The main character of this book is a kid called Scott Tyler and he finds out he is a shifter when he has to do a extremely dangerous dare and as soon as he was about to die he wished that he didn't do this and suddenly he went to a different reality and he didn't even try. Soon someone found out he was a shifter and he had to go to ARES (The Agency for the Regulation and Evaluation of Shifters) and train to help the world hide shifters and don't let them use their powers to win lotteries or other things. So he started out there as a fresh meat ( a newbie) then he moved on to be one of the bluecoats. The bluecoats have can have one out of the three jobs be a spotter (people who find shifters), be a fixer (the rare job of fixing time) or the job of being a Mapper (people who see consequences). Scott became one of the fixer with only three alive.

Soon he finds this big fat guy who walks one meter per hour. He eats shifters and is a wanted criminal. He tries to eat Scott but Scott throws up on him and then he ran away. Now Scott's job is to find that fat guy and kill him. He finds him at the hospital but the fat guy kills Scott and something remarkable happened. Scott came back to life and he could control anyone. He tells the man to die and he suicides. Then he lives happily ever after.
