The Other Wes Moore Chapter 4-6

 What music played a special role in the other Wes Moore’s life? What role does music play in your life?

    Hip-hop plays a special role in Wes' life. Becoming a rapper was another goal Wes Moore set for himself; music gave him a sense of purpose and direction. The headphone cord is like a feeding tube; listening to music is like getting an IV when you're sick. The role of music in my life is essential; it gives me a sense of relaxation. Whether I'm going out or doing homework alone, music is essential. If I go out and realize that I forgot my headphones, I will feel uncomfortable for the rest of the day.

    In the early days because of my own reasons I was rather gloomy, not talkative, very concerned about the views of others, sometimes it was worried that what I said was cold and brought embarrassment or distress to people. I have always been a very quiet person. But under the influence of music, I also began to adjust my mind so that I do not care too much about what others think, and changed a lot of bad feelings at the time. With headphones, I can avoid a lot of strange strangers' conversation, I can not seriously bother to talk to strange strangers. For example, I had already fallen for a candy salesman at the station once before, and I told my friend about the experience. My friend told me that the man was a scammer who took advantage of strangers' sympathy for his own benefit. I was also asked for money on my way home from class in the evening, and I was glad I had my headphones on and didn't stop, or I would have been asked to give him money again. And so on. There are so many examples that I can't remember, but music actually covers a lot of things in life. Music can be a mood booster, or it can help people increase their stamina when they exercise. Music can provide comfort. Music therapy is often used to provide comfort to patients undergoing various treatments and procedures. Music can enhance neurological efficiency. Listening to music that you enjoy and are familiar with can improve your work or study efficiency. However, it is important to be attracted to music - it is not enough to have background music, that does not directly affect productivity, only music that affects our mood can help people to be more productive.

    Music has an effect on people, and it affects their moods through its tone. Music can improve mood. If I want to be in a particular mood, listening to music can help me to produce that feeling. Through the combination of music and its intended effect, it helps me to improve my mood. Different types of music can also lead to different moods for people who are affected by it through the tone of voice. Different types of music can also lead to different emotions. Music is a daily routine for me, something that I listen to every day to help me face my emotions better.
