Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Austria in 1756. Mozart’s dad, Leopold was a professional musician, and he worked for an orchestra. He also liked writing music. Leopold began teaching Mozart piano pieces when he was 4. Leopold first did it for fun, then his son surprised everyone by performing them perfectly each time. Mozart then began composing little pieces, because he wanted to create some music. Also, Mozart taught himself how to play the violin, so that was cool. So, his dad was like, oh wow he’s so cool and started touring the world with his family and they performed for all sorts of people, and Mozart met new musicians and composers. When Mozart turned 17 he got a job as a court musician for the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg. But then he got bored doing this, as if composing for a billion people wasn’t enough. Then, he left Salzburg in 1777 and went to Paris the next year, looking for somebody to play for. But i didn’t go well for him. Nobody wanted him, so he went back to Salzburg and his dad got him a position as a court organist. Then, he was arguing with his employer and then he got so mad he rage quit and moved to Vienna in 1881 just to get away from his employer. Then he was playing and composing himself and he even played for the Emperor! After he moved in for a few months, people said that he was the best keyboardist in all of Vienna. Over the years he set up lots of concerts and he performed in restaurants and apartment buildings. And then since he was so rich he started spending everything and buying everything and throwing money everywhere. Then, in 1785 the composer Haydn told Mozart that he was the best composer known to me in person and by name. Then the composer moved away from writing keyboard pieces. His first opera in 4 years was released. It was a success in Vienna and it was his best work and it was really popular. And then his fame declined. Austria was at war so he couldn’t get any money. Around in 1786 Mozart performed less and less in public. His fame was vanishing. Then in 1790 he started to rise in fame again. He got another successful piece in. And then he was performing for operas and composing again and getting lots of money. Then he died. Sucks for him. So he got sick towards the end of 1791. Then he finally died on 5, December, 1791, aged 35. He was buried in Vienna. Nobody knows how he died.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a childhood prodigy who began composing music at the mere age of five. At the age of six, he had already performed twice in front of imperial courts. I have played violin since the age of 8 and piano since the age of 6. Of course, I was and am not at the same level of Mozart, but there is a reason why he is considered the best composer and musician of all history.

His background in music was extensive even by the time he was in his teens. Mozart composed over 600 pieces of music including 25 piano concertos, 17 violin concertos, and over 50 symphonies. He composed over 41 symphonies by the time he was 19 while his main competition, Antonio Salieri, composed about 50 pieces in his entire lifetime.

Mozart had a gift since childhood. He composed his very first piece when he was five year old. By the time Mozart was six, he had performed in front of two imperial courts; and by the time Mozart was 14, he had also performed for the pope. All the court composers who witnessed Mozart’s music had remarked how the child was an incredible and real composer.

Mozart’s adeptness at several instruments was remarkable. He could play the piano, violin, clarinet, and other instruments. He was most well known for his piano and violin concertos. They are seen as one of the most advanced pieces for current day students and performers.

Mozart composing a real piece at the age of five is impressive enough, but it is not the only reason why he is a household name. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart not only composed over 600 pieces, but a majority of those pieces are well known. It is difficult to write pieces, but it is more difficult for those pieces to be known worldwide. That is why Mozart is considered the best composer of all time.

Us humans had been wanting to go to Mars and live there for so long. We’ve been thinking a lot about how we’re gonna survive on Mars. Now, scientists thought that maybe we could add an organism’s DNA into ours. And that creature is called tardigrades, the reason they chose this organism is because they can survive the vacuum of space. 

Planting tardigrades’ DNA into ours really benefits us and that can make us explore more things or knowledge that we still don’t know. For example, this technique can allow astronauts to travel to Europa, which is widely regarded as one of the solar system’s best bets to harbor alien life. But another problem is that there are more dangerous things or more extoxic things there in the universe, and those are still unknown. Here is a quote from a scientist: “If we ever get there, those are the cases where the human body would be almost completely fried by the amount of radiation,” Mason said. “There, it would be certain death unless you did something, including every kind of shielding you could possibly provide.”

Humans are always inventing ideas to help the knowledge of astronomy. But there’s a long way ahead of us waiting for us to explore.

I have never known anything about Mozart other than he started composing music at the age of nine. Mozart started his music career because his father was a professional musician. His father taught Mozart clavier pieces at the age of four. Wolfgang also had the ability to teach himself violin. The young master musician strained hard to advance beyond what his youth limited him to. So the entire family toured around Germany, France, and England. They performed for all sorts of people, and Mozart was exposed to new musicians and composers.

When Mozart was seventeen years old, he became a court musician for the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg. It was a great opportunity – he was being paid to compose in nearly every possible musical genre, letting him flourish as a composer. But Mozart gradually grew bored and frustrated with the life and society in Salzburg, as well as the lack of opportunities for getting operas performed. He went to Paris to find new opportunities. Sadly, the Parisian musical world didn’t seem to take much notice of him. He ended up back in Salzburg. Later, his father had gotten him a position as a court organist.

After experiencing what it felt like to work together, Mozart decided to go to Vienna to work alone. Over the years, his fame spread wider and wider, and he became known as the best keyboardist in Vienna. He composed bunches of musical concertos, earn great deals of money from them.

Mozart was finding it hard to survive because Austria was at war. Mozart’s main source of income, the nobility, was going through a money drought. Mozart performed less and less in public; his fame was vanishing. He started borrowing money heavily from friends. At the end of the next year he had to take a position as chamber musician for the Emperor to earn enough.

He continually struggled for the next few years, taking long trips to other European cities to try and spark his fame again and make some cash. But it never seemed to work out for him. In 1790 things began to look hopeful. Mozart started working furiously, turning out new piece after new piece. His financial situation improved, and his music from this era is some of his most beloved. Then, as Mozart started a new piece, he fell ill. His wife helped nurse him as his illness grew worse and worse. At the age of 35, Mozart passed away to an unknown cause. Mozart left the world to be grateful for such treasured art.

     

The quoit was from Mozart

Mozart was smart creative and very positive,

Worked hard on songs and pieces,

I pay no attention whatever to anybody’s praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.

Never give up when stressed and when other people suggest,

The rule is the rule,

Don’t be a fool,

Work until you see the pool,

This way you might fell supercool,

Others don’t accept,

At least take a rest,

Just reject and keep going,

Just when he was four,

He studied till he was sour,

Then found out music was for him, 

He worked till music was his aim

We all know that probably one day we might have to abandon the earth and go somewhere else. NASA has been trying to find a way to genetically enhance our body so that we can live on a different planet such as mars. They have to make us a little bit less human so that we can live mars.

I think this subject is really cool, and I actually really want to know what it might feel like if I was tweaked a bit to be less human. NASA wants to start flying in the 2030s so they have some time to research and figure out mor about the odd phenomenon of tweaking the human body so that we can live somewhere else. It might take a very long time but I think that they will succeed.

There is another thing that the people at NASA might do and that is terraforming Mars, this will make the land in mars be like how it is like on earth. Many Astrobiologists vote against doing this because they think it might make the organisms already living there die out. I also think that we shouldn’t terraform mars.

In conclusion I think that this project is really cool and I hope that NASA can do it successfully. It will be very big if it does work because then we will be able to live on mars or even other planets. It will be very good if NASA is able to succeed.

Mozart is a well known character in music and contributed many pieces that will be remembered even in our generation. He was a prodigy, a musician, and a composer. Even though he was always poor and quite a jerk, he is still today’s most renown classical musicians ever.

At a really early age, Mozart started to play the piano and his dad, a composer, was astonished about how Mozart could make his own pieces and play them almost perfectly. His dad then decided he had a child prodigy son. He spent a lot of money on trips to other places besides Germany (their current home) and Mozart performed there. At first he just performed with some people that just wanted to enjoy music and explore, but very soon word got around about how good he was. Soon enough he would be playing for kings, princes, and nobles. However there were many people that were jealous and envious about Mozart. Those people came to Mozart’s performance to see if he was for real and in the end, there was no question. Mozart was a prodigy.

After Mozart traveled around the “whole world” back then, he started to grow up and settle down his childhood. Soon he got married and started to compose new pieces. A total estimated amount of pieces he wrote during his VERY SHORT lifetime includes: 15 masses, 50 symphonies, 25 piano concertos, 12 VIOLIN concertos, 17 piano sonatas, 26 string quartets, 600 individual pieces, and even more that he didn’t have enough time to finish. See, he was a very busy man, whenever a good song came up to his mind he would immediately write it down and start working on that. He has too much unfinished work and he wasn’t really competent. He simply didn’t care about earning money, only his music (He also wasted his money on lavish things). In the end he was really poor unlike other composers so he died a pretty young age because of sickness. However even though he died with so much unfinished work, he still gave us plenty of masterpieces and wonderful music. He simply left a great influence and taught the future generations his genius and work.

In conclusion, Mozart was a great musician! He experience many hardships such as poverty and envy but in the end, we still remember him as a great musician and a very influential composer.

The story, “Hearts and Hands”, is about two men on a train, one the marshal, one the malefactor, who meet a woman, called Ms. Fairchild, if I remember correctly, and distinctly knows the criminal, Mr. Easton, though the story does not tell who is the felon and who is the justice-server. Also, Ms. Fairchild is clueless about who is the criminal and who is the officer and assumes that Mr. Easton is the marshal.

The impression that Mr. Easton is “…of handsome presence with a bold, frank countenance and manner”, and the other man “…a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed.” Who knew, that Mr. Easton is the offender, and the man who looked like a bad guy was actually the marshal! Thus the story proves, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Lots of times the story is short, but I could still get a lot out of it. the story was adequate and fun to read, and had a very interesting setting. I have not read that many books that are interesting and take place in a train, forget about “Around the World in 80 days”.

The short story is kind of a cliffhanger, because at the end Ms. Fairchild has just realized that Mr. Easton is the malefactor, and we don’t really know what happened to him. I like these stories because they get you thinking about what might happen next.

For years, scientists have wanted to inhabit a planet other than Earth. If one day in the next, say, 20 years, we could live safely on Mars, would I do it?

The answer is no. First of all, in the article, it states that humans may require genetic modification in order to safely inhabit Mars. I would not want to do this, because what if this went wrong? I could easily lose my life. Also, I do not my DNA merged with another life form’s.

Second of all, I really like Earth. Earth is where I live. There are so many wonderful places to travel, and so many things to do. If I went to Mars, I do not think that I’d like it, and the environment would differ very much from Earth’s, so I wouldn’t feel very comfortable.

Also, I would miss my friends and my family. I don’t think that all of them would come too, and I doubt communications would be strong enough for us to converse daily. It would be sad if I had to leave them behind, when they help make me love Earth so much. I can’t imagine not having them there.

Lastly, I would miss my home. I would miss my stuffed animals, my room, basically everything. I would miss the birds singing every morning and the beautiful green trees and flowers. I would miss playing in the snow during winter, and playing sports in the yard during summer. Everything that makes Earth Earth I would miss.

In conclusion, although going to Mars sounds interesting, I don’t think I would want to do it. I think I would miss everything on Earth too much. I’m sure there are adventurous people out there though, who would jump at a chance to go to Mars. If someone I know goes there in the future, whether temporarily or as their new home, I would love to hear about their experiences and I’m sure it would make a great tale to tell.

NASA is already proposing a manned space mission to Mars is 2030, which is 51 years after the manned Apollo missions. Except the one main problem NASA faces is the radiation in space. It is highly dangerous to humans, the many health hazards includes cancer and radiation sickness. Humans now want to use genetic engineering to solve that problem.
Astronauts that go into space have to go through the Van Allen Radiation belt, which is energetic charged molecules captured from solar winds. Tardigrades are the only animals that humans seen that can survive in space. These micro animals have a thin powerful skin to survive. Since humans want to use Tardigrades to make humans less vulnerable to space radiation, they will use genetic engineering. They want to modify of edit our genes with Tardigrades. Using biotechnology, it will makes use less vulnerable no radiation.
Sending humans to Mars is very dangerous, especially since there is a lot of radiation on Mars and in space. Humans want to modify our genes using genetic engineering to makes us less vulnerable to radiation.
