Personal Narrative: The Source Of Hysteria

Elvis loved his Graceland home. His gravesite located in the Meditation Garden on Graceland’s grounds. The Meditation Garden is fitting for the King’s final resting place. It is here that Elvis loved to meditate and contemplate his spiritual side. Graceland draws millions of tourists each year from all over the World.

After 1972, Elvis performances became more erratic. He began to become unhealthy and gain allot of weight. He also started taking allot of prescription drugs and harmful things that caused him to have a heart attack at the age 42. His body was buried in Graceland with his family, located in Memphis, Tennessee. The day after his death, Elvis’s dad, Vernon Presley opened Graceland for the public to pay their respects. Sadly, many people tried to take the remains of Elvis, so Elvis and his mom were moved to a more secure part of Graceland. Elvis Presley influenced rock ‘n’ roll and was considered the king of rock. He had diverse songs and style that made people everywhere like him. Elvis was a big influence on many people and artist of his day and will never be

The birthplace complex recalls the events of the early years of Elvis' life with a story wall and a walk of life. A fountain of life celebrates the first thirteen years of Elvis' life, which he spent with his family in Tupelo. The museum uses graphics, period artifacts and music to recreate Elvis' childhood. The gift shop carries many unique souvenirs, not available anywhere else, and is worth a visit in itself.

The artist that I have chosen to discuss as part of my Cultural Perspectives essay is Elvis Presley. The reason I have chosen this particular artist is not only because he is recognised as one of the most eminent Rock n Roll artists of all time but because his music has had important influence in the areas of social, political and cultural context. Presley’s career and music has evolved greatly within the timeline of 1900 to 1970 and continues to be an intrinsic influence on popular music and society today. Even though music within this timeline represents and has evolved from diverse changes within culture such as gender, youth, technology, religion and media I am focusing on why Elvis Presley’s Sun records are so culturally important. Elvis

The remainder of this essay will looks at how Elvis, through his music career, had a major impact on culture. This new culture that was to emerge in both the USA and indeed the world would shape a new generation of both young and old. His influence on black and white American culture caused a lot of racist riots because of the mingling of black and white people. The popularity of Elvis also led to a transgressive position with respect to racial and sexual boundaries. White cover versions of hits by black musicians often outsold the originals, it seemed Americans wanted black music without black people in it. A southern background combined with a performing style largely associated with African Americans had led to what Tan Magazine called, “bitter criticism by those who felt Elvis stole a good thing”. A black southerner in the late 1980s even captured that sentiment “to talk to Presley about blacks was like talking to Hitler about Jews”.

It was August of 1977, and we had just moved into a new house. My father, returning home after running some errands, told my mother that he heard on the radio Elvis was dead. I had no idea who this person was, yet I could tell by the looks on their faces he was someone pretty important. My mother dug out her original 45 single of “Hard Headed Woman”, but it was an album she bought a few days later, featuring all of Elvis’s number one hits (Hound Dog, Love Me Tender, Jailhouse Rock, and a slew of others) that finally introduced me to the King of Rock and Roll.

In the United States we can be so self-absorbed and have no regard for other people and their feelings and well-being, it is a distinguishable norm for American society at this point. We always ask ourselves “What do I want?” or “What can I gain from this?”, but we never ask ourselves “What do they want?” or “What can they gain from this?” This is where Japan separates itself from the United States. The people in Japan hold such high esteem for everyone they know and meet, while we can hardly treat the person next to us with even the smallest amount of admiration and generosity.

Sitting in an old fold-out wooden chair, Brett began to tell me the things that I should expect. He had removed my restraints, and I laid weak and tired on the floor by his feet. The things he told me kept me in awe, and I couldn't believe this was really happening to me. He told me about how I could hear through sound proof walls. And about how the werewolf virus caused an olfactory mutation – the olfactory is the part of your nose that picks up odors and the different aromas or scents traveling through the air.

It was the day of the surgery, I was so nervous that I could have passed out at any moment from my anxiety. I felt sicker then I had in years, I would have thrown up if I had had any food to eat in the past twenty-four hours. When me and my family got to the hospital my anxiety went up another level and I was practically shaking, the smell of all the chemicals they use wasn’t helping my nausea any either. When I was in the room getting ready for surgery I was overwhelmed with what was about to happen so I ended up confiding in my mom that

Insanity. It seems like everyone in the world that we live on is in some way going insane. People say that global warming, politics, terrorist attacks, money the list goes on and on, they say that those are real problems. But they aren’t actually problems the real world problem is the world itself. I never really noticed the issue until Rosalie was sent to be surrounded by the particularly picked insane people. It isn’t fair. It isn’t her fault. If only I knew what the “plan” was I could’ve saved her from making a mistake. It’s too late for that now. Now she spends her days in a padded cell with her arms crossed and safely secured. It should’ve been me in there, not her. It’s my fault. I have to save her.

Within the databases of Norton Headquarters, a single text file is kept with considerable security. A humiliating incident in which a virus completely annihilated it’s host computer while under Norton’s protection, and only was prevented from spreading by the host’s destruction. Other than the CEO of Norton Enterprises, the only other being that is informed about the situation is the victim; me, Ace.

Elvis Aron Presley was born in a lttle town in the Deep South of the United States known as Tupelo, Mississippi on 8 January 1935. As a result of his father often being unemployed and once going to jail for fraud, Elvis’s was raised in a quite poor and lower class environment.
