JP's Mash-up

JP's mash up was very interesting. I liked how he created the transitions between his songs. When he repeated some words or beats he made sounds very good. I liked the song overall, but i would have liked it more if he made it longer. The mash-up was very good and you can see that he put effort into it. He should make mash-ups more often cause it was very good. Jp's mash-up was very good.

Music

A mash-up is a when two or more songs are mixed together to make a new one. So far, I've heard many mash-up. I have liked a lot of them, especially the one that mixes many songs together and it sounds very good. Good mash-ups are made with good rhythms and beats, they have to be well made. Some are not good because the beats are off, some are loud, and difficult. Mash-up artists are musicians, because they need to listen to the beats, put them together and make a good song. One of the ones I've heard is dj earworm. He is very famous because of the big mash-ups he has made. As you can see, mash-ups take skill, and are very entertaining.

Another musician that makes good music is dj dangermouse. He writes songs, and produces them. He is very famous now. One of the interesting albums he has created is the grey album. It is a mixture of The Black Album and The White Album. It is just music, although dj dangermouse never asked fo permission to use the content of the beatles. I think that there is nothing wrong with that, but there was a lot of controversy. Dj dangermouse was just making a mash-up, he was just making music.

Rain forest destruction.

Nowadays, people cut many trees for many reasons ad purposes. Some people make them into paper. Other people fabric furniture and doors, and others just use it for whatever they need it. The problem is that people don't realize that they are affecting the world by cutting these trees. Many problems occur because of the forests people are cutting. They don't only affect us humans, it affects othes organisms, and Earth. This serious environmental problem needs to be stopped.

One of the big problems destroying forests causes is that it is getting rid of many trees, and soon there will barely be trees. This affects some organisms because they need oxygen to be able to survive. The less trees there are, the less amount of oxygen will be produced. Everyday, trees are being cut down, there are much less trees every year. Accordingly, every minute, 6 football fields of trees are cut down. If humans keep cutting trees at this rate, soon enough Earth will have no trees. This is something very serious for earth and its organisms, and that is why it has to be stopped.

The other reason is because it kills many organisms. Cutting trees does't only affect animals, it affects many other oraganisms. Some of these are insects, plants, and even humans! Many animals are becoming extinct and some are already extinct, we are killing organisms! The same thing will happen to us if we keep cutting trees. Trees hold the soil in place with their roots, but when they get cut down the ecosystem changes, the place is not the same. Things become unstable, birds lose their homes, animals die, and plants get crushed with each tree cut down. Trees need to be left alone, and humans should start worrying more about them.



As a final point, people need to start thinking about destroying forests. This is because it can lead to many consequences, and we don't want that to happen. Cutting trees will affect many organisms in the world, and it may kill many. There are methods to balance the amount of trees being cut by planting one each time you cut a tree. This method may help, but the ecosystem will still not be the same. There are also many methods that can help. People just have to think of ideas to help the earth and stop forest destruction. Rain forest destruction must be stopped.
