Another piece I wrote for English, a companion (sort of) to Moment Musical. This was inspired by Rachmaninoff's Elegie in E-flat Minor, from his Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3, No.1. Yet another beautiful piece of music and also worth listening to.

This is an essay I'm actually proud of, because it's not really written in an essay style. We're reading a book called Food: True Stories of Eating Around the World, and we were supposed to write our own. Mine's about one of the times I went to China.
