The origin of panpipes or pan flutes is thought to be in ancient Greece. The name “Pan Flutes” comes from the assumed origin of Greece. From what we are knowledgeable of, these flutes are named after, and associated closely with the God Pan. Pan also went by other names like Faunus and the roman name Panas. Pan is the god of the wild, hunting and companion of the nymphs. The way he appears most of the time is in the form of a being with a human torso and head, but having goat horns, and having 2 goat legs from waist down. His lineage however is unclear. His father could have been Zeus, Dionysus, Hermes, or Apollo. His mother could have been a nymph named Dryope, Aphrodite or Penelope, before she …show more content…
According to Greek legend, goat-footed God, Pan, son of Hermes and a nymph, fell in love with another nymph by the name of Syrinx. Syrinx, however, did not share the same feelings and went to a riverside, where she turned herself into reeds to hide herself. Then Pan, upset that he could not find Syrinx, took the reed, and cut them up to make a panpipe, not aware that it was Syrinx. The other version of the story, Pan falls in love with the Nymph Syrinx, daughter of Ladon, the river-god. Fleeing his desires, Syrinx went to Zeus so that he could save her, but Pan captured her. Zeus then turned the nymph into reeds to keep Pan away from her. Enraged, Pan smashed the reeds into pieces. Then he thought about what he had just done and was struck with remorse and cried and kissed the broken reeds all that remained of his beloved. When he kissed the reeds, he discovered that his breath created sounds from them, and so he made the musical instrument that would carry the lost Nymph’s
86), depth or space is illustrated or implied by the size and position of the flute and guitar player being the larger of all the musicians in the foreground and the smaller musicians behind them. Depth is further depicted by the guitar player's right leg in between the flute player's left leg. The line in the neck of the smaller guitar and the implied receding lines of the guitar's body depict linear perspective and add depth. Paolini creates value by using the artistic technique chiaroscuro or Italian for ‘light-dark’ on the flute player per DeWitte (2015, p. 84). The flutist back is highlighted in bright light coming from over his right shoulder. His front side or chest is bathed in shadow.
The clarinet is a woodwind instrament consisting of a cylindrical wood, metal, or ebonite pipe with a bell-shaped opening at one end and a mouthpiece at the other end, to which a thin reed is attached. The clarinet has five different sections, the mouthpiece, the barrel, the upper section, the lower section, and the bell. The length of the entire instrument is 60 cm long. The mouthpiece section consists of a slotted cylinder, to which a reed is attached by a metal clamp called a ligature. The mouthpiece plugs into the next section which is a barrel. The barrel is simply a connecting cylinder to which the mouthpiece and the upper section plugs into. The upper section is a cylindrical pipe consisting of 4 holes and 9 keys placed in different locations along the pipe. On the back of the pipe there is a hole and a key that is used by the thumb. The lower section plugs into the upper section and is also connected via a special bridge key. This piece consists of 3 holes and 8 keys. On the inward facing side of the pipe, there is a protruding piece of metal called a thumb rest, which supports the entire clarinet. The bell plugs into the lower section.

Hephaestus, the god that split his fathers head, "became very attracted to Athena." (Wickersham) Hephaestus tried to force Athena to bear his children. However, Athena being the powerful goddess she was, "resisted him and his seed fell to the ground." (Wickersham) From that seed Erichthanius was born "a half-man, half-snake." Athena put Erichthanius into a box and told two woman to "watch the box and not look inside." But the two woman looked inside and were driven mad, thus causing them to commit suicide.

A clarinet is a woodwind instrument. Most clarinets are made of wood. The instrument consists of a tube with a mouthpiece at one end and a bell-shaped opening at the other end. A clarinet has open tone holes and other holes covered by small metal levers called keys. The musician places his or her fingertips on the holes and keys and blows on a flat cane reed attached to the mouthpiece. The reed vibrates, producing a full, rich tone.

Published in 1964, Gideon's Trumpet is based off a true story of one man's quest to be given the right to have a counsel appointed to him by the court. Constitution's Sixth Amendment declared he had a right to counsel and he fought hard to obtain justice. If Gideon didn't realize that he had a right to counsel, this case would have never been held and the legal sytem might still be the same today! Clarence Earl Gideon is a man that most Americans outside of the legal system, as well as within it, would not even recognize who he was. The author, Anthony Lewis, wanted this change and wanted the citizens of the United States to see the dramatic impact that the Gideon's case had on the legal system. Gideon felt like he was in an unfair situation and filled out a hand-written petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. Lewis brings to life the story of the man behind the case, preserving an important piece that has forever changed the legal and social history.

Honor killings have become very common in Pakistan especially in Sindh and in tribal areas of Pakistan. In Pakistan hundreds of women are killed every year in the name of honor. Such a cruel custom has existed in our country from so many years. Honor killings are common in all over the country, though in some areas the incidents of honor killings have taken a shockingly high amount of incidents in recent years. In Azad Kashmir a mother helped her husband in killing their 15 year old daughter because they saw her talking to a young man. They killed her by dousing her acid. Her elder sister was not in favor of this custom and she was very anxious about that crime which her parents had committed. She demanded justice and police investigation for her sister but all went in vain because it was done in the name of so called ‘honour’. Our state also goes after the satisfaction of honor in foreign policy. Our society has become so cruel under the involuntarily accepted conduct guideline of the Taliban. The people who are killed in the name of honor are mostly women.
