Baroque Music - Baroque Music is a Classical style of music extending from 1600 to 1760. This era follows the Renaissance and is followed by the Classical Era. The word "baroque" comes from the word barrocco, which means "misshapen pearl." Composers of the Baroque era include Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Vivaldi, George Philipp Telemann, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Arcangelo Corelli, Claudio Monteverdi, Jean-Philippe Rameau, and Henry Purcell. During this era, composers used more elaborate musical ornamentation, made changes in musical notation, and developed new instrumental playing techniques. Baroque music helped establish opera as a genre of music. []

The Light in the Forest - The Light in the Forest is a novel first published in 1953 by United States author Conrad Richter. This is a fictional book; however, the book includes many aspects of history that are true real facts from United States history. Characters of the book include the True Son, Cuyloga, Del Hardy, Half Arrow, and Uncle Wilse. The plot of the book involves a young boy who is taken hostage during a raid by a Lenape tribe during territorial wars. None of the Pennsylvanian people rescue him. Therefore, the boy is adopted by tribesman Cuyloga and assimilated into the Indian society and nicknamed "True Son." []

I do not understand what happens when Cal and the Object do things at night. Cal says that the Object is sleeping, but at the same time the Object is moving her hands in ways that make Cal think she is awake. My question is: is the Object awake or not? Also, I do not understand how the Object does not realize that Cal is not a normal girl. Would the Object not notice that Cal's parts are not normal down there? And also, when Cal charges Jerome out of anger, does the Object not realize that typical girls do not charge guys? Also, Cal could not play sports because he was in such bad pain. Well, he could play them, but he had trouble playing sports. My question then is, how did Cal outrun Jerome and not keel over from pain? He could barely play as a field hockey goalie which involves minimal running, but he can outrun an older boy? That does not make logical sense.
 * 3. Questions about the scene**

In class, we talked about how Cal is bitter about his past. In this reading, Cal mentions, "But in the end, it wasn't up to me. The big things never are. Birth, I mean, and death. And love. And what love bequeaths to us before we're born" (388). This quotation shows Cal's bitterness. Cal was not able to decide things for himself. Cal is not to blame for the reason he is a hermaphrodite. I think that it is unfair to Cal that he is being punished for something that his family members did, not him. Cal was not even born yet prior to the time that the gene was found.
