The Extraordinary Power of Music

The essay written by Joan Tower for the NPR's show "This I believe" is really great. The essay explains how music gives her a great joy in life that is unbeatable. In my life I have seen a much larger inscrease of the popularity of music with iTunes and the new iPods and other mp3 players.

In the life of Joan Tower she has found a love for music and states "that with music I can help to change the world around me -- if just a little bit." This quote definently connects to what we have been talking about in these first few weeks of English. Like Singer's Solution for World Poverty and The Water Buffalo it shows a way in which someone gives and helps the world around them.
