Mozart is one of the greatest musicians of all time. He was a child prodigy at the age of four along with the rest of his family. at the age of four Mozart repeated classical pieces perfectly when his father gave him the pieces. He even started playing the violin. If he could do such astonishing things at such a young age, think about what he was like when he grew a couple more years older.

When Mozart was at the age of 17, he got a job as a court musician where it was a great opportunity to earn money for his family. Back in Mozart’s time, life was hard because there weren’t any transportation other than carriages. And wages weren’t as high as nowadays. During his time as a court musicians, Mozart thought that operas weren’t performed enough, because he wasn’t happy, he found another job! This job, a court organist, was worse than the other one because he was treated like a slave, but couldn’t quit the job because his employer wouldn’t let him. He finally left the job and felt relieved but was still humiliated.

When he grew a little older, he went to Vienna and was a keyboardist. Vienna loved him very much and appreciated him in the city, which was better than his previous jobs overall. While enjoying Vienna, he even won the heart of who he loves truly, Constanze Weber! Years later, he started performing concerts and had piano concertos reaching out to him to go to their theater and perform. He started to earn money and had a luxurious apartment with his wife.

Sadly, he started to perform less in public and loose his fame and struggled for the next years because Austria was at war. The new operas Mozart wrote were also not admired by the people of Vienna and he was going through a money drought along with other composers. He decided to go to other places to try and make money but there was no luck. Eventually, he started to get back his debt by submitting piece by piece and doing hard work. People liked him again and his life was saved!

In Prague, after Mozart performed one of his pieces, he started to become very sick and kept vomiting. His wife kept watch over him while he was writing his last piece for his funeral. Mozart, unfortunately, died for an unknown reason. There are many theories where people have thought about the cause, the most popular is a rheumatic fever (a sickness that affects the heart, joints, and skin).

Hearts and Hands by O. Harry starts out with the main characters, Mr. Easton, Miss Fairchild, and a felony, on a train. Miss Fairchild was already on the train, then Mr. Easton and the felony handcuffed onto his hands takes the only vacant seat across Miss Fairchild. Miss Fairchild was dressed in the elegant taste and surrounded by the luxuries of an experienced traveler. Mr. Easton was dressed bold, frank countenance and had good manners, while the felony was a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed. Mr. Easton didn’t recognize Miss Fairchild at first, but after Miss Fairchild spoke, he realized he was sitting across from one of his old friends. Fairchild asks Easton what he is doing here, and Easton replies that he is working as a marshal. He says he needed money, so he came to the west coast for a job. After a while, the felony asks Easton if he could take a smoking break, and Easton accepts. After the Felony and Easton leaves the train, the first of the two people who overheard their discussion said, “Say–did you ever know an officer to handcuff a prisoner to his right hand?”

One of the worst things in the universe is radiation. It can cause cancer, and can easily kill people. They were used in atomic bombs to kill tons of people. Also, if humans want to colonize on Mars, they will have to protect themselves from radiation.

The first idea is to create a transparent shield generator around Mars that can deflect radiation and have a tiny opening for spaceships to come in. This shield can also deflect lasers and other weapons, and will only let sunlight pass.

The second idea is to make suits for everybody that will deflect radiation, but it would look trash and be super heavy. This is something already in use in science labs. But, mass production would be hard because some of its materials are rare.

The last idea is to live underground of mars, so that it would be hard for radiation to pass through the land. Electricity would be hard to make underground, so people can put solar panels on the land. Also, planting would be easier underground, as it is super windy on Mars. They will require some lighting as well.

To sum it up, there are other options than gene editing to colonize Mars. One idea is to make a transparent shield that protects us. Another idea is to make everybody wear a radiation-proof vest. Lastly, we can live underground.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Austria in 1756. Mozart’s father, Leopold was a professional musician, so Mozart would be too, right? Leopold began teaching Mozart clavier pieces when Mozart was only 4 years old. It started out as fun, but young Mozart surprised everyone by repeating the pieces perfectly. He also began composing little pieces. Leopold thought this was his chance to be famous, so he toured around Germany, France, and also England. They had to travel by horse and cart, and suffered from illnesses. They also didn’t get paid for a while, either, so times were tough. When Mozart was 17, he got a job as a court musician for Prince Archbishop of Salzburg. But, he got bored of Salzburg. In 1777, he left Salzburg, and went to Paris in 1778, looking for a job. He went back to Salzburg, and his father got him a job as a court organist. He constantly fought with his employer, Archbishop Colloredo, which was rude to him. When he tried to quit, he was not allowed to, but finally, he did. Mozart was done working with others, so he moved to Vienna in 1881. From now on, he will work for himself. His career started out well, everyone loved his music, and he even played piano for the Emperor. Over the years, he made lots of Piano concertos, and he performed everywhere. He had lots of money, and him and his wife moved to a luxury apartment, and started spending. In 1785, Haydn, himself, told Mozart’s father, that his son was the best composer ever known to him. In 1786, his first opera in 4 years was released. It was a success in Vienna and even more successful in Prague. Then, his fame went down. Austria was at war. Less and less people listened to his music. In 1786, he started to perform less and less in public. He tried to get famous again by taking trips to other European cities. But in 1790, he performed better, he made music that people liked, and his fame started to grow. In 1791 he was at a premiere for his latest opera. But he got sick. He was confined to bed towards the end of the year. His wife nursed him on his deathbed. He tried to write his last piece. He finally died on December 5, 1791. aged 35. He was buried in Vienna.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, where his father Leopold was a violinist and composer. Wolfgang (or Wolferl, as his family called him) was a child prodigy. He composed his first piece of music at age five; he had his first piece published when he was seven; and he wrote his first opera when he was twelve. By the time Wolfgang was 6, he was an excellent pianist and violinist. He and his sister Maria Anna (known as Nannerl) traveled all over Europe performing for royalty and the aristocratic elite..

As a young man, Mozart tried but failed to establish himself as a composer in Paris. He returned to Salzburg where he was briefly employed in the court of the Archbishop of Salzburg. He was restless, aware of his genius, and thought Salzburg too small for his talent. He relocated to Vienna where he met with some success. He married Constance Weber and fathered two sons. He still had a lot of trouble handling the fact that he was no longer a child prodigy. Mozart was still a musical genius, but after he stopped being an extraordinary child, people stopped making a big fuss over him.

Mozart was only 35 when he died in Vienna after a brief but unknown illness. During his short life, Mozart wrote more than 600 musical works, all of the very highest quality. His works include the operas The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Cosi fan tutte and The Magic Flute; the symphonies in E-flat major, G minor, and Cmajor (“Jupiter”); concertos for piano, violin, and various wind instruments; and numerous chamber pieces, works for the church, minuets and other dances, songs, and the Requiem. He composed in all different musical forms, including operas, symphonies, concertos, masses, and chamber music. Today, he is still considered a genius!

There are so much books and movies that talk about colonizing Mars, most of them are labeled fiction. However imagine a world where we are able to make the fiction today, become non-fiction tomorrow. Colonizing Mars might sound impossible, after all Mars is millions of miles away from us. However, scientists think that humanity actually has a chance to live on Mars. However, it will be really hard and even if we manage to ship millions to Mars, here will be even more problems than just oxygen and food.

First of all, shipping millions to Mars will take a lot of the Earth’s recourses and we can barely send 10 people to space. However, if the world was to get together and build many spaceships or just a couple massive ones, then sending a whole nation to space might be possible. But how much time will that take? Of course a long time, since you will be traveling millions of miles! Being patient would be a problem, but also food and water. How will you feed a whole nation while on a spaceship? Will you bring dirt and water to water plants? But then how about the water? Will you suck the water from nearby asteroids? It is all very complicated and we don’t have nearly enough knowledge on technology to be able to accomplish such feats. But in the future, we will definitely come up with an idea to solve this.

Second, if we get on Mars, then how will we split the territory. If Russia and America was to live separately, then how will we split who lives where? This Colonization will be a global project, so there will definitely be global conflicts. Additionally, Mars is not the same size as Earth so it wouldn’t be easy to take a Earth map and swap it into a Mars map. Even if we sort out all the territory problems, how will we distribute livestock and water? Mars has ice on it, thus we can make seas and lakes, but how will we distribute the water? Will it be like before, America having plenty of clean water while other places might not?

Lastly, a major problem would be travel. The world basically relies on travel to distribute goods. How will all the food be shipped? Since Mars’ gravity is 62% lower than Earth’s gravity then “air”planes and cars would cause mayhem. How will people travel around to get groceries or company’s ship products? This will be very hard to figure out, and again, will require serious upgrades to the technology we have now.

Overall, colonizing Mars right now will be unrealistic, but with enough knowledge and improvements to technology, we will be able to go to Mars and live on it. This idea has been a sci-fi plot for decades, but soon, we will be able to make our dreams become reality.

Mozart is a very famous composer, he wasn’t famous all the time though in his childhood he learned how to play the piano. He lived a hard life and died really soon at a age of 33. As a kid he wanted to play piano so when his dad started teaching him how to play it was saw as a 4 year old kid playing a part of a song. So he got a job for a mayor and and after a while he got bored so he left for Paris. At Paris he found out that his music skills were good enough so he went back. After he went back the person he was working for treated him like a servant and didn’t allow him to leave. After he left he went to Europe got married and became a composer. He fell in a time of hardship when a war came and the nobles couldn’t afford to pay for his works.

When I compare Mozart to Beethoven, I think that Mozart is more on the bright side and Beethoven’s on the dark side.

What I mean by that is like, Mozart’s more positive and Beethoven’s more sad. You can tell by their songs. In my experience, Mozart writes more major key music than Beethoven.

A piano player myself, I like playing Beethoven’s music better because in my opinion, sad music is better.

If I have to be friends with Mozart, I think it would be annoying because he’s a more proud person, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know what the word “humble” means.

If I have to be friends with Beethoven, I’m probably gonna experience a lot of temper tantrums and complaining. (When I say friends, I mean close friends.)

Overall, I just think that Beethoven’s better than Mozart. duhhhh….

(poetry)

A harmony of sounds

With a melody of a soft croon

Music, of your philosophy

Is a combination of tunes

However, that, my friend

Is not pure music, in my view

True music is certainly different

It is the voice of nature, should you presume

It could be the sweeping of dust

Of a desert or a dune

It could be the howling of wolves

Under a big, bright full moon

Or the whistle of the wind

In the midst of a typhoon

Or the sound of buzzing bees

On a warm, sunny afternoon

It could be the weeping of rain

During a heavy, wet monsoon

Is it a hummingbird singing

On a day or early June

True music of nature

Has no pause or resume

But if you listen closely

You can hear its bliss and gloom

It is difficult to establish a strong relationship with another individual, but once it is achieved, the bond is hard to break. For example, it is quite rare for someone to despise his or her friend after many years of joy. The short story Hearts and Hands by O. Henry is about a criminal and marshall who go on a train. The criminal meets his old friend, and in order to escape embarrassment, the two men switch roles. This story shows how established perceived notions don’t change, but weakened ones do.

A strong relationship is established through many years of being together. This relationship creates a notion of an individual. Many humans treat one’s peers differently depending on who they are. For example, one might not swear as much to a sensitive friend as someone who is literally a gangster. In the story, the criminal, Mr.Easton, meets his old friend, Ms. Fairchild, on the train. These two individuals have built a strong relationship in the past, so those perceived notions remain untouched. Most likely, Mr.Easton used to be a good man who never committed any crimes, so Ms. Fairchild concludes Mr.Easton is the marshall. Even if the men did not switch roles, Ms.Farichild would theoretically not belive her old friend has become a criminal due to her perceived notions. Once created, a strong relationship is almost impossible to break.

On the other hand, people who have not established a relationship yet might perceive Mr.Easton differently as that of Ms.Fairchild. At the end of the story, one of the passengers of the train stated Mr.Easton, the “marshall”, was handcuffing the “prisoner” on the wrong hand. In other words, the passenger knew Mr.Easton was the prisoner. Since the passenger only knew Mr.Easton for a few minutes, his notions were not established. This meant he had nothing to base Mr.Easton’s actions off, while Ms.Fairchild did. Fairchild concluded with the assumption that since Easton was a good man, he is still a good man. The passenger never knew Easton was a good man before, so he created his immediate notions based on his observations. In this case, he observed Easton was the criminal. Probably, Ms.Fairchild also noticed Mr.Easton was handcuffing the “prisoner” with his wrong hand but did not care much since her notions told her Easton could not have committed crimes.

The story shows how established notions almost never change. One who has a clear relationship with someone has a confirmed notion. On the other hand, someone without a strong relationship with another will have ever-changing notions. A Relationship is a powerful bond that is difficult to both create and destroy.
