Song of the Paper:
“From the New World” The 9th Symphony 4th Movement by Dvorak
By Staff Writers: Andreas Philippakis and Simon Estifanos
Hello, welcome to another edition of the Classical Song of the Paper. Today we are going to focus on Dvorak’s “From The New World” 9th symphony 4th movement. The song is very intense especially the beginning riff really is good if your sibling won't wake up. The song is very awakening, and (forgive me Dvorak) quite chaotic. It gets less chaotic but still very interesting. The song has a lot of ups and downs, but the ups and downs are the definition of chaotic as well (forgive me again Dvorak).
This is probably the greatest by Dvorak and definitely the most well known. It kind of feels like someone very, very, very impatient to get something done. So impatient that he is very angry and going crazy. You feel very compelled by the riff and drops of the tempo and then, BOOM! The riff that breaks your ears horribly, but it's worth it.
Now, Dvorak might seem great, and he really is because he turned folk music into romantic classical. Yes, folk music, like Dvorak, is so good that the movie JAWSr sampled him for the background theme of the action scenes. Of course, “From the New World” got sampled by this movie. The movie JAWSr theme song really sounds like the New World Symphony.
Dvorak was a very compelling composer creating music, but he had the strangest hobby. This man collected pigeons. Did he not know about rabies or not care about getting sick? he clearly didn't learn from the plague that happened a couple of centuries before Dvorak’s existence. But we don't have to talk about Dvorak’s strange hobbies. This was Dvorak’s last symphony and probably the best, we hope you enjoyed it. We will see you again in another edition of Classical Chronicle.
Country Of The Paper:
Serbia
By Editor: Guillem G. March
Serbia or as the locals call it “Srbija” is a Country with Hungary to the north, Romania and Bulgaria to the east, North Macedonia and Kosovo to the south, and Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the west. Belgrade is the capital of Serbia with a population of 1.115 million. Serbia might be small but Novak Djokovic, a tennis player from Serbia, is a real legend. The national symbol is a double headed eagle which is seen on the flag. If you speak ether, Serbian, Romanian, Hungarian, Slovak, Ukrainian, or Croatian well then great, you can talk to the amazing people of Serbia.

Car of the Paper: Tesla
By Staff Writer & CEO Of Car Times, Simon Estifanos
Tesla is brilliant with high security and pentratable windows. It is a marvelous American brand that really shows it’s American. Now, this brand does show it is American, but that will never mean the creator is American. You may know him as the CEO of Twitter (but he sold Twitter in 2015), the owner of SpaceX, or maybe even the man who wants to make humans a multi-planetary species. But he only goes by one name, Elon Musk.
He began his career while living in a tiny apartment with his brother. They only had one bed, so Elon decided to sleep on the floor. He was living at such a low level of poverty that he had to go with his brother to the YMCA to take a shower in a locker room. Through hard work, he became an engineer, worked one hundred hours a week, and later on in his life became an inspirational person and one of the world's most successful people. Well, enough about the story about him. Let’s get to the models he made at Tesla and everything he has created so far!
So, Tesla began production of its first car model, the Roadster sports car, in 2008. This was followed by the Model S sedan in 2012, the Model X SUV in 2015, the Model 3 sedan in 2017, the Model Y crossover in 2020, and the Tesla Semi truck in 2022.
Now, Elon only made very few of these cars, but he’s making them more and more modern every day. For example, soon later this year, he’s recreating the Tesla Roadster with things we didn’t have in 2008. So he doesn’t need all kinds of money to make different models every single year he has left! Fun Fact: Tesla is collaborating with Royal Caviar to create a phone that completely copies Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro Max, but with bulletproof titanium and gold ( but for some weird reason, the packaging is a briefcase.) And that is all from Car Times!
