 Reordering Events
• Sequencing helps the readers to understand a text.
• Sequencing means being able to identify the beginning, middle, and
end of the story, and able to retell the chronological order of the text.
• Sometimes, the order of a story is identified with “clues”, such as
“first”, “then”, “after”, “once upon a time”, “in the end”, “in October”,
“in 1993”, etc. (example)
• However, sometimes the chronological order is implied. (See the
exercise)

 Example
Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March
14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on
began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy
and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he
entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a
teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his
diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a
teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss
Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.

 Lars Ulrich vs. Mike Portnoy
~© 2005 Kristian Anderson~
Lars Ulrich, the drummer for Metallica, and Mike Portnoy, the drummer for Dream Theatre, share some
common similarities, and some great differences in their playing style and kit setup. Both Lars and Mike play
Tama drums, with full maple shells. Remo heads provide the resonance for both Mike and Lars. Both drummers
play the majority of their songs with a driving bass line, coming from the bass drums. When given the chance to
solo, both drummers can produce some amazing sounding beats. They take the cymbals and mix them together in
a rather simple sounding way, with unparalleled rhythm. Both drummers possess amazing speed and control
behind the kit. Their coordination is above most other drummers of today’s music. However, even though they
both play Tama drums, Lars uses a more traditional “metal” double bass drum setup, and Mike plays a much
larger triple bass drum kit. Mike also incorporates some things into his kit that Lars does not. Mike brings a lot
more percussion elements than drums, such as granite blocks, a cowbell, chimes, and a gong. Mike uses two
thrones (seats) behind his kit, to help him move around the kit between songs, while Lars has one, and brings his
kit in closer to him. Lars prefers a simpler double bass setup, with much fewer cymbals than Mike uses. Portnoy
prefers his Sabian cymbals, while Ulrich rocks out hard on his Zildjian cymbals. Lars tunes his bass drums to give
a rich, driving sound, while Mike tunes his down to a sharp attack. Lars prefers to drive hard on the bass drum, as
opposed to Mike who uses quick kicks in different sequences to produce a lighter sounding bass drum. Mike uses
Pro Mark sticks, while you can find Ahead 5B sticks in Lars’ hands. While there are some similarities and
differences between the two, both can be considered masters of their craft.
