One epic sentance from the book, "The Landing".

""like it?" his father asked, but the boy didn't hear, heard only the music accelerating, growing louder still, unbearable, making him want to yell back at it, until it smashed to a stop, leaving only an echo in sudden silence" (Ibbitson,11).

For me, that sentence listed above, is a great description of how it feels, to be in the midst of viewing such a sight of extraordinary amazement. The boy, who has his eyes fixed on an opera presentation, is young and has never seen, or heard symphony music of any sort. Viewing this one performance changed the entire course of his life, as he gained a strong passion for music, leading him on an adventure. Similar to the boy mentioned, I am very passionate about many things.  Just as the boy in the text, I find that I become entranced in certain moments, analyzing a truly beautiful or original sight whatever it may be. I also do this to such an extent that I am oblivious of the entire world around me, just as the boy was; there is just so much to view during such sights of amazement.

 This text also reminds me of the character “John Nash” from the movie, “A Beautiful mind”. John is a mathematician, who has wonderful flashes of insight, and immediately tries to write his new thoughts, regardless of the time or where he is. His insight usually comes from something he is viewing at the time, and just like the boy, these sights shift the entire course of his life.
