The incongruous speakers passed a faint melody of music.
The worn brass saxophone buzzed with arcane energy as I picked it up for the first time. Verdigris and rust crept out from underneath the joints binding the horn together and pockmarked the body of the instrument. Dark pits and long, deep scratches, like scars on a battleworn samurai of the Yamaha clan, covered the keys.

I almost thought that a vigorous rub would cause a genie to unfurl from the bell.

This assignment made me realize how much of an introvert I really am. There isn't anyone who I really know well enough to to be able to distinguish if they have a firm or a growth mindset. So I decided to just ask people what mindset they thought they were, then examine to see if they were right. In the book there is a section where it shows how the two mindsets work.
