I wish I could have interesting school assignments like this. I hope you got an excellent grade. =]
I love the way you wove in your music; and I love the courage with which you posted this. It is all fairly vague--but I think that's what you're aiming for? All-in-all, I lie it very much; you have a lovely, lyrical style of writing and your metaphors are lovely. Bravo. ^^

Wow, this must have been a very interesting assignment to write; I wish I was given something like this! Even better, you did an awesome job with it, and not just because I'm a huge fan of music as well. You chose your quotes well and I lovedlovedloved your metaphors. You're so creative. :)
Off to read more of your work!
