MA- Music Assignment

Day 1
I look at the blank doll, pondering what I should first do. Placing it down on the bed, I went over to the device that played music called a radio with something that can read these CDs humans used. I managed to collect a few ,but some were broken. It took me awhile to look through the ones that came from my homeland. Taking one on traditional Irish music, I place it in and began to watch the doll. The song that started to play was this soothing violin piece. When I looked,the doll started to grow traces of auburn hair and it's eyes began to change into a deep green color..like the forests back home. The hair grew a lot longer too,becoming a river of orange red. There was something about it that reminded me about home, but I can't remember what it was. And the more I look at it,it looks like it's fur also gained a tint of color.
Day 2
Next day I decided to stick with the same CD, but this time it was a different track. This time it was a rather fast paced beat that would be used a lot during Irish dancing. It was rather happy, but the dancing itself was very serious. Usually, the girls had their arms at their sides the whole time and it was their legs that showed their emotion. Looking at the doll, I see this time it gained what seemed to be a white short skirted dress with long sleeves and a pair of shoes used by the girls. It's eyes seemed to sparkle more but it looked like it's mouth was a straight line, taking something seriously. It's cheeks were a reddish color now, like make-up was placed on it. The doll's hair was becoming curlier and curlier, becoming quite the mess. I wanted to comb it's hair, but i left it like that for it felt natural for some reason.
Day 3
Once again I started to use the same CD seeing that it'd be odd to suddenly switch to a new one when there were countless of songs on this one. This time, the song that was playing was was more on guitars, and more strings too . The song itself was about clovers, reminding me a lot of St. Patrick's day, where people would celebrate with smiles on their faces. Looking at the doll, it has some springs of clover in it's hair. Some being 4 leaf clovers which made me give her the name " Lucky". Why her, because the stuffed toy had garbs of a girl.The green in Lucky's eyes became lighter and she even began to smile a bit. Her outfit began gaining tints of green and a bouquet of clovers appeared in her right paw. Looking back at Lucky's fur, it was now a peachy skin color and her cheeks became a bit rosier like she was dancing.

Day 4
Looking at Lucky, she seemed to be a bit more human-like yet she still had her fur, ears and nose. It didn't matter though, Lucky was Lucky. Placing the next song in, I started to look at her once more. The song this time was like the one from day 2, but more upbeat and you could actually hear the tapping of the special shoes worn. Lucky's hair was now being held up with a decorative headband, just like how girls would wear them for dancing. Her dress gained more detail,this time it had a lot of green added to it. The shoes became more defined, shiny black with flat metal soles.When I looked back to the headband, it seemed to have gained more detail .There was a lot of white and green with purple and yellow accents. I think I can tell what the next colors of the dress will be.

Day 5
The only progress today with Lucky was only her eye color changing. This time however,i played this song over and over again. It liked the melody of it a lot and it sounded really relaxing despite the song itself being about deception. It told the story of this lady with beautiful green eyes who danced about, until a jealous girl came and took her life away. It made me wonder about humans sometimes, why couldn't you just talk it out? As i listened,I noticed how Lucky's eyes slowly began to turn a darker vibrant green. I looked for any other changes with her,but that was it. Even now as I write this, I keep listening to the song. Perhaps something about how it talked about human jealousy and envy made me ponder sometimes. Am I being envious when I think why I'm a banshee and why I must fulfill my purpose?

Day 6
As I look at Lucky,I ponder how else she could change even more. Just how much more can she grow up? Looking through my CD rack,i picked out another folk song about the moon and dances under it's shining rays. The moon in Ireland was beautiful, it's silvery light lit up the dark velvet sky like how the sun's golden rays lit up the light silky sky during the day. Before I got homesick, i started to observe lucky again. Her cheeks seemed to get a bit more rosier again, but now in her hair was a small little crescent moon charm that was bundled in the middle of the clovers. I also noticed moon charm necklace around her neck. It was really pretty, shining in the light moon out my window. I look out and stare at it's huge presence, basking myself in it's light. Well,that is it for today.

Day 7
Once again I went back to listening to more traditional dance music I would hear the girls of the family I watched over dance to. I got up and danced a bit,and thankfully I hadn't worn my shoes so anyone below shouldn't hear my steps. I looked at Lucky to see she her dress had gained details that were the same colors of her headband. I figured that might've happened, after all usually things had to match right? Grabbing Lucky and holding her in my hands, I began to dance with her. It may seem odd,but I enjoyed it. I also noticed her smile began an excited one, like she enjoyed the energetic dance just now. Taking a break, I placed her back on the bed and took out my journal. I hoped the teacher will allow us to keep our dolls permanently , I'm beginning to get attached to Lucky now.

Day 8
It's been awhile since I've listened to music with Lucky. I've been busy lately,trying to create  a song that would express myself. I look at her,so proud of her. Was that an odd thing? Just a day before yesterday I expressed this feeling. Shaking these thoughts away, I went to play more music to listen too. Maybe something calming, or perhaps something energetic again. Thinking for a bit, I decided to do a song that was calm. The melody was flowing, and it was about the beautiful greenery of Ireland. Looking at Lucky,her bouquet gained some of the local flowers of my home land. Not only that,there was also some flowers that now decorated her hair all over the place. It was messy, yet it was also really pretty too. Looking at the flowers I found Bloody Cranesbills, Dog Violet, and my favorite, Honeysuckles. Perhaps I should see if we have any gardens around that carry those flowers.

Day 9
Another day I spend time with Lucky in my room, listening to more music. This time it was about old Irish tune called the Mistral Boy, a patriotic song of my home. The tune spoke of how a mistral boy went into war and died, but his songs forever stayed free. Looking at Lucky,she had gained a small wooden harp. The Harp was in her free hand, now making both her hands full.I look again and thankfully she didn't gain a sword or some sort of injury. There were no bandages either so I think she only gained the harp. I was relived though that was the only progress she made when I played the song. But,she's just a doll yet I'm thinking of her as a real living being. Is it bad I'm viewing her like this,no it shouldn't be right? Even if it is an enchanted doll,inanimate objects have feelings.

Day 10
Well,I think today is the last day. Looking at Lucky, I make sure the last song I choose is a good one. Placing in the CD, I sit with lucky with my note pad. The song this time was called My Singing Bird, it was one of the O'Brians favorite songs. Listening to the familiar tune, I watch as Lucky gained a bird friend that sat in her hair. I smiled, a lot of things were going on in her pretty locks. As I kept listening,I noticed the front of her dress had wings embroidered into them. It was fitting kind of, and made her dress even more personal. Overall Lucky seemed a bit human like with colors,hair and dress,but she was still retained her adorable plush like look. I'm really happy how she turned , and I'm also happy we had this kind of assignment. It made me remember a few things I probably should've.
