All these words are determiners, that is, words that precede a noun, limiting its meaning in some way:

1. EACH (= every one separately): She gave one piece of cake to each child.
[what is implied here is that there are just a few children]

2. EVERY (= many; all): Every word counts.
[it´s implied that there are many words and that each one of them is important]

3. LITTLE(= not much): They have very little money.
[used with uncountable nouns]

4. A LITTLE (= small amount; some; a short time; to some degree): Just a little milk, please. / I´d like some cake; just a little, please./ Can you stay a little longer?/ She´s a little bit tired.
[also used with uncountable words]

5.THE LITTLE (= not much, not enough): the only example I have is the following: "The little I have is not worth giving" (from Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English). As you can see, the noun [money] has been omitted.

However, there are other ways of expressing basically the same idea in more natural ways (I have very little money left. It´s so little it´s not worth giving./ The money I have is so little [that] it´s not worth giving./ I just have some money. That´s why I can´t give you any.).

6. FEW (= not many): Few people showed up.
[preceding countable nouns]

7. A FEW (= small number): I´ll need a few more hous, please. / Can you stay a few more days?/ She just needs a few eggs.
[preceding countable nouns]

8. THE FEW (= the one, the ones): He was one of the few [people] who could understand my joke. / They´ll keep the few [bucks] that remain for tomorrow.
[preceding countable nouns]

Music stops being track while it's TOO LOUD for the human ear- I went to an outdoor pageant and particularly loved what a special band- GRAND MAGUS had been gambling but while I went closer the level to view the band- I might suppose the sonic vibration on my frame- identical to I had a mate punching me- my ears couldnt take it and my brain used to be like- get me outa right here. There also are bands which might be too drugged as much as co-ordinate and bands that thrash their devices such a lot that the track does not make feel. Even metallica can harmonise and organizations just like the disturbed can churn out a few beautiful well track however a few of this screamo and loss of life steel is past my style and fairly actually will have to be despatched out int house in which they would discover a extra receptive audiane- ie. a couple of asteroids and many others.
