Black and Gold Boxes
I have in my hands two boxes Which God gave me to hold He
said, "Put all your sorrows in the black, And all your joys in the
gold." I heeded his words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and sorrows I
store But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as
before. With curiosity, I opened the black I wanted to find out why And I saw,
in the base of the box, a hole Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the
hole to God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be."
He smiled a gentle smile at me. "My child, they're all here with me."
I asked, "God, why give me the boxes, "Why the gold, and the black
with the hole?" "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
the black is for you to let go."
Intonation –
Intonation is the rise and fall of pitch in order to convey a range of
meanings, emotions or situations, within the confines of standard grammar and
fixed word order. What exactly are the mechanics of intonation?
Three
ways to make intonation.
1)Is
to just get louder or raise the volume.
This is not a very sophisticated way of doing it, but it will definitely
command attention.
2)Is
to stretch the word out or lengthen the word that you want to draw attention
to(which sounds unpleasant)
3)The
most refined way is to change the pitch. Although pausing just before changing
the pitch is effective, you don’t want to do it every time. It will make your
audience stop and listen because they think you’re are going to say something
interesting.

Mary."Mary: "I did see the film!")
