Neil said, “I have the one for you.” A 1982 Pontiac Firebird. “It is not pretty, but it was fast”,”Neil said. A few months passed, while we figured out a time to go look at this car. Finally the day came. On the way there I was imagining this car to look amazing. My dad was trying to talk me out of buying

We all know that the Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit was sweet, but in real life, the 1977 Trans Am was a bit of a dud. Gregg Hamilton, a World Rally Star, so loved

family friend who had a GM credit card for about four years. He had made so many purchases with this card that he built up points that went towards his new car. So when he was ready to buy his new car he went to the GM website and ordered a 2001 Pontiac Firebird with all the options he wanted and desired and in the exact color he liked. The process took about a month to receive his new car but he didn't mind because after he sold his old car and the points from his GM card all he ended up paying was
The Ship of Theseus Growing up our family had a 1966 Ford Mustang. Unfortunately my dad sold this car before I was old enough to drive it, so the only memories I have of this car are riding in it when I was little. Being that this car was from 1966, it had many problems. It had some start-up issues, the radio didn't work, the speedometer was shaky, and it had some scratches that may have been there because of me and my scooter driving mishaps.

Sergei Diaghilev was a founder of the Ballets
Analysis of Firebird by Stravinsky Immediately we are introduced to the leitmotif, major and minor thirds, within a tritone. This returns at bars 15 - 18 and at various other parts in the suite of which I will later elaborate. Within the opening few bars the pizzicato and legato combined in the cello and bass section produces an ominous opening to the work. The base drum roll and the murky off beat and horn entry at bar 5 makes it clear that it is evil magic. One of
Subsequent to this Stravinsky’s career took another turn, into the ballet. During this time some of his most famous ballet works produced The Firebird and Petrushka. These ballets began to demonstrate the immense skill in Stravinsky’s bold and audacious orchestral writing. The Rite of Spring In 1913, Stravinsky premiered his arguably most famous and influential work – The Rite of Spring
