Insider/Outsider

1)Some of the times that i feel like an insider and outsider at the same time would be when i visit my family in Mexico. My uncle lives in what I guess you would call a ranch, the town about 15 min away and my cousins are in about the same age group as I am. They are my family and I feel like an insider when it comes to feeling welcome but when it comes to things to talk about and my improper Spanish I feel like and outsider. I'm seen as the girl from "El Norte" (the north) when I meet their friends and can't seem to have the same hobbies.
2) When it comes to music being a part of a whole meaningful event I believe that this is completely true. Music is a reaction and a feeling to music itself. For example; in a rock concert the music is amplified by the guests reactions, artists feed of the energy of the guests, while we feed of the energy of the band. When it comes to religious events the purpose of music is to unify its followers and to praise, well at least that is how feel it is in Catholic church music, there is no purpose to the music if is not to praise and to unify its followers.
