Exploration Three: Music From John Link

The strength of Dave Marsh's writing lies in his use of personification and alliteration to enhance his characterization of characters as well as setting the scene for his writing. By giving the foundry human traits like spitting and anger he sets the mood for inside the factory as well as how it is viewed by himself. The Foundry, I believe, was an essential part to the story because it was the center piece to the conflict of growing industry and business. Using dialog and strong sensory words to expose his true thoughts rather than directly state them.

The horror and suspense genre of movies literature and songs has always been an interest of mine due to the seemingly simple level of empathy it quickly developed with the audience. Music however is an essential part to this part of literacy. If the volume is turned off on a scary movie it is surprisingly easy to escape the fear it is trying to convey. When I was in high school our band choose to play a composition called "The Witching Hour" by Randall D. Standbridge. This was easily the most loved piece of music we played as a whole because of the level of suspense it builds with the audience as well as the players to make you feel like you are part of the music.

    I know what you mean when you say "make you feel like you are a part of the music." One song I played for concert band in high school was Foundry by John Mackey. My part was a nasty bass trombone part, and I could feel the ominous and dark tone when I played.
