[15 points] if you own a childhood instrument such as a violin, why is it considered valuable to you?

It depends. I used to play violin when I was much younger. When playing the violin, I would listen to everyone play, the notes, and how beautiful everything sounded, especially when everyone played together. To me, the music that the violin makes is special. I would listen to my peers play and watch them play. Violin also gives me childhood memories. I remember playing by myself in my room and my mother would come in sometimes to hear me play. I'm not positive if you have concerts for strings, but I did. My family would come to all my concerts and it just made me feel somewhat special. Everyone has their own reasons on why they value the violin so much. Hopefully this is what you were somewhat looking for. Just giving ya some ideas!

they were expected to behave as the adults in their chores, and at church. they couldn't express their emotion because it was a offence to their family. they rarely played with toys or games because they were saw as distractions. boys were expected to fish, hunt work at carpentry and crafts, while girls should cook, wash, clean and sue. they learned to read because they should read the bible.

hope this

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
