Corrie, I hope you know that no one is trying to steal your dream or take you away from doing your music. I can appreciate having to fight for something for so long. I too have had to fight for thing throughout my whole life and face ridiculous adversities too. I hope you know that I had to fight for you for 24 years. I know you don’t exact know my full story and that you only see the results of the past and some of my wounds as well. However, I hope you know that all the heart-ache, pain, and struggles that I went through to get to this moment here with you, I would do all over again.
I pushed through the doors bumping into Yalena. I hit her hard and we tumble down the hill. “Hey wha- WAIT FOR ME er- US!!” Yelled Ryea and Ember. Yalena's hair was tangled in my fingers and the grass and twigs did not make tumbling down the hill any better. Oh what were we going to do?
I am a lifelong musician and entrepreneur. I am 52 years young and have been a vocalist since I can remember, a keyboardist for over 25 years, and entrepreneur for just as long. I have also always been someone’s secretary, administrative assistant, bookkeeper, office manager, booking agent, and spouse and mother for about 24 years of that journey. Growing up in southern California, I have performed most styles of music and sung/played in a variety of bands and ensembles since 1980. I have covered female vocalists from the 30s and 40s through current artists. I moved from southern California to rural western Colorado in 1993 and things are unique here. In 2009, I wrote and co-produced my CD, Mosaic, with musicians in Nashville with the help of Lorna
I highly recommend Caroline Corrigan for acceptance to the University of Rhode Island. She hopes to study pharmacy in their great program. Caroline is an excellent, well-rounded student who strives to do the best she can inside and outside of school. She is a great example to others and a great leader. Caroline would be a wonderful asset to the University of Rhode Island, just as she is to her current school, Mount Saint Charles.
I attended a performance of Noises Off on the evening of Tuesday, March 2nd. My acting response paper is going to be on actress Meaghan Deiter’s character, Dotty/Mrs. Clackett, and how Meaghan’s portrayal was believable, what she did that was effective, and the physical and vocal choices she made.
I’m writing this letter in favor of Debbie Branson becoming a substitute teacher for the East Valley School District. I have had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Branson for over seven years and have found her to be a very contentious and hard working individual. Ms. Branson has always gone above and beyond my expectations concerning any task that she might be working on.
Letter from Birmingham was a response to the Clergymen in Alabama with concerns on how black people were not going to wait any longer. They have been oppressed and will not be disrespected any longer. The law states that the "separate but equal" act will consider black people the same as white people, just that they will not share common grounds. King uses pathos to appeal to the Clergymen and addresses how they will be separated and looked down upon. King argues that black people have been mistreated due to the despotism of white people, they have been waiting for more than 300 years and will not wait any longer.
Charlotte Turner Smith was a poet and novelist during the time of English Romanticism. She began the revival of the English sonnet and wrote political novels of deep feeling. Smith was a successful writer, publishing ten novels, three books of poetry, four children 's books, and other assorted works, over the course of her career. She always felt poetry was her calling although she excelled in her poems. Poetry was considered the most glorious form of literature at the time. Charlotte Smith 's poetry was admired by many romantic poets. After 1798, Smith 's fame faded and by 1803 she was poor and ill. In 1806, Charlotte Smith died. Eventually forgotten by the middle of the nineteenth century, her works have now been republished and she is recognized as an important Romantic writer. Many of her works today have been further interpreted to contain more messages and meanings behind them. Some of her significant works consist of the poems, “Written at the Close of Spring,” “To Sleep,” “Written in the Church-Yard at Middleton in Sussex” and many more. In the list of these works, Charlotte Smith portrays message based on the life she lived and the time period in which she was from.
Aaliyah was my best friend, we told eachother everything, I was there with her when she first recorded her first song, we sang together, we even wrote a song together, i thought of her like a little sister, little did I know of the short time I had with her. I remember when I first heard of her, she was performing in Las Vegas with the famous singer Gladys Knight. You should have seen my face full of shock and awe as I heard this eleven year old’s voice, the way she hit all the right notes, and how her voice blended perfectly with Gladys was amazing. From that point on I knew she was going to be a superstar, and that I wanted her, no needed to have her in one of my albums. Three years later, yet again she surprises me by her debut album with
In The Hiding Place, Corrie was faced with many decisions, including if it would be okay in this circumstance to break God’s law and if what she was doing even breaking it at all. I believe that for her circumstance, it was okay to lie to them, even though God told us not to. I also believe that it was not a sin to lie to the Nazis who were doing wrong to the Jews. For instance, we are called to love others people and help them out.
American singer and songwriter Carole King has written and co-written over 400 songs that have been recorded by more than 1,000 artists. King’s career began in the 1960s where she along with her co- songwriting partner Gerry Goffin, who later became her husband, wrote more than two dozen chart hits for many artists. Their hits include "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" for The Shirelles, "Take Good Care of My Baby" for Bobby Vee and "You Make Me Feel (Like a Natural Woman)" for Aretha Franklin. Carole seemed to be comfortable being the woman behind the music, she had two daughters, a husband and a house to attend to so it seemed as touring and performing live was not in the plan.
"And the way that you make me and my friends feel, the way you make my black friends feel, is empowering. And you make them stand up for themselves. And I love you. I always have and I always will. Grammys, I appreciate it. The academy, I love you”- Adele, 2017.
Marion Shepardson wrote a letter in 1949 that functions like a time capsule to what Poway looked like back then. In it she spoke about the trees and “little but pleasant breezes until November”. (Mary Shepardson 1.) She wrote about a lot of things but mostly about how how docile life was. The simple pleasures that Shepardson got from nature is are rare to find now. Poway is no longer a quaint little farming town, San Diego as a whole is slowly blossoming into a metropolitan area. Now more then ever it is important to recognize the changes that are coming and prepare for the future. We have two paths to follow at this crossroad. San Diegians can prepare for the future and protect what Shepardson once fell in love with or we can ignore the incoming
Ben Franklin is known for a slew of accomplishments in his life as a Founding Father of the United States. An inventor and author, among other occupations, Ben Franklin grew quite a fan base in his lifetime, despite having such progressive beliefs. One of his most progressive pieces of writing, “The Speech of Miss Polly Baker,” discusses the inequality surrounding laws against having children outside of marriage, specifically regarding how it impacted women. In Benjamin Franklin’s “The Speech of Miss Polly Baker,” Franklin uses wit to effectively argue that the sexist punishments of laws against having children out of wedlock are absurd by appealing to the reader’s ethos, logos, and pathos through the voice of Polly Baker (Baym).

Today was the day we were heading back from Hell. It has been an amazing five days with, Kevin, Corrie, Fi, Lee, Robyn and Homer. I was the only one who was allowed to drive the Landie. It was Dad’s orders and I followed them. It was really weird on the last night of our camp there were these low flying planes with no lights on. They were flying so low that we could see the marks on them. The marks weren’t ours. By the time I’d finished writing that down it was time to go. We’d finished packing that Landie and started to head off. I had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right about those planes I just couldn’t put my finger on it. We were home before I knew it. Something was wrong the dogs weren’t barking. When we came
Did you know I got the idea for my song “Jolene” from when I met a little girl? I was giving autographs and she came up to me. I thought she was adorable and so I asked for her name and told her I was going to make a song about her. So I did and now it is one of my most popular songs I wrote. I have won many awards for my music over the years. For example, I had 25 number one country songs and over 100 million records sold. But it has not effected me and the way I am. I have also won 11 CMA awards during my music career and 7 grammy awards. I have had so many songs ranking high on the billboards. Lots of people ask if the achievements I have effected how I am and I always tell them I try to stay with my true self. All of the songs I have made have been about my life and who I have met during my
