In this personal blog, Kelleigh shares everything she loves about her hometown, as well as her music and her incredible fashion sense. “This Nashville Life” also counts with a boutique, where everything has been curated and approved by her

According to former president William McKinley, "The mission of the United Sates is one of benevolent assimilation." It has been widely known that people who don’t fit in (culturally or physically), well, won’t fit in until they are "normal," or assimilated into Western culture. There are examples of this in everyday life, such as if a person with an Asian accent is introduced to a group with an English accent, he or she will most likely be regarded as different, and will be excluded from interaction with the rest of the group. But, if the person slowly changes their accent to become part of the norm, then the person will become

Ben Haggerty, better known as Macklemore, is one of the most popular artists in the hip hop industry. He is best known for recognizing issues within society and using his influence to make a difference. The hip-hop industry has a huge impact on the youth. It influences the way people speak, act, and think. Constant discrimination towards race, gender and sexual orientation takes place among popular songs which encourages audiences to also act in discriminatory ways. “Same Love” was released in 2012 as part of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s The Heist album. The song, produced by Ryan Lewis and featuring Mary Lambert, discusses the false predispositions of homosexuality within today’s society. “Same Love” uses ethos, pathos, and logos to focus on issues of discrimination based on sexuality, gay rights, and marriage equality.

You can learn these lessons in the book, because in the story is about a sixth grader named Sofia Becker, who wants to earn popularity points, but she had one one thing in her way, which was Mia.

This very interesting song by the title, “Wipe Your Eyes” by Maroon 5 goes with the book,“The Book Thief” in many ways. It talks about the attitude Hans Hubermann’s attitude towards Liesel. Ever since Liesel’s brother died, Liesel has been having many nightmares about his death. Whenever Liesel would wake up from her nightmare, Hans Hubermann would be there to 1. Keep her company, 2. Hans Hubermann reassures her that everything will be alright. This is similar to the message in “Safe and Sound”. When she would wake up Hans would even read a few chapters of a book that Liesel stole by the name of “The Grave Digger’s Handbook.”

Each ‘Book’ in this story represents and covers a specific period of time in each of the character’s lives.

Kaepernick has drawn an immense amount of attention onto the topics of football, patriotism and law enforcement. Kaepernick's decision to sit out for the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” is a decision that should be respected. Kaepernick shouldn’t have to deal with the intense scrutiny he is getting from his own personal choice. Kaepernick believes that the United States national anthem doesn’t represent present day America anymore. Kaepernick says that “ when there is a significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it is supposed to… then I’ll stand” (Kaleem). Kaepernick is simply expressing his freedoms and according to the constitution he isn't doing anything wrong. In fact, he is just executing his rights and freedoms

The term embodiment can be applied to many aspects of mainstream music but most commonly it is related to the musicians. As performers, they show certain characteristics on stage either in their own personal expression, their alter ego, or a mix of both; and through their music, they get to use their voice to give out little pieces of themselves to their fans. The interesting thing about fans in today's society is that their idols have become objects of worship, and with that kind of fame and power comes the group of critics ready to tear them apart. There are various factors in determining which group a person belongs to and I would say the most influential are musical style or genre, vocal quality, private and public self images, or how

The goal is clear and the stakes are personal. The script is driven by themes about growing up, learning to move forward, and appreciating who you are.

This is one of my favorite acts of this musical. In this act Drew and Sherrie went for a date and they started a relationship. This took place at the Hollywood Sign where Drew admits he has started writing a song for Sherrie about yesterday (The day that they met). And it was in this act where they had their first

This upbeat melody takes me directly back to my childhood and all throughout high school. I am a child at heart. Barbie movies have followed me from when I was first introduced to them in Kindergarten all the way until my senior year of high school. This song in particular is my favorite Barbie song because it comes from my favorite movie Barbie and the Princess Charm School. The reason I chose this as my opening credits is because it exemplifies how every girl is a princess in her own way. Which alone is a powerful message of its own, as well as sentimental value of youthfulness. Barbie represents all girls and she is a positive role model for all. I always admired watching her movies

This country song “I’ll Name the Dogs” by Blake Shelton can be considered a twenty-first-century take on the troubadour’s tradition singing about Fin’amors love. Fin’amor means pure and true love. Similarly, in “I’ll Name the Dogs,” Shelton sings from the perspective of a man who wants to marry his girlfriend, build a house for her, and have children and dogs. This love is refined, worthy and the only one for him. He, admires and respects his love, but not from afar. He has been dating his girlfriend for a while, and is ready to go on to the next step marriage. He believes he has proven his refinement and wants to spend the rest of his life with her experiencing life with her and new

“For the past five weeks, my students and I have put together a personalized performance to carry on the stories of your precious lives. We have published a book telling all of the wonderful stories you have shared with us. This book will allow your life stories to live on forever. Ars Longa, Vita Brevis; Art is Long, Life is Short.” Our director Mrs. Rice began as the stage lights dimmed.

Kitty Verissimo, The story of my album and how it came to life. Well it all started when ms. Brougham assigned us this album. At first i thought this is going to be a lot of fun and not much thought would be put into it, but little did i know all the work i would have to put in it. I Had an idea of what i wanted to do since the beginning. An album on overcoming hard times. So i knew the genre would be pop and a bit of rap in a few of the songs. When I thought that I was thinking one of my favorite artists Alessia Cara could “sing it”. I used things like salt on one side, sharpies to outline, etc. There wasn't too many fails or things that didn't work out as planned. But i learned a lot like arts a lot of work.

Lesson is: Don’t break the camera!” “But-” I started to protest. But my dad insisted on taking my mother’s photos first. My mother, sensing my glee, got up. “Okay then.” She gestured towards the beach. “Take scenery photos.” My father, realizing that he could take scenery photos, went to work adjusting his camera. My mother turned towards me. “Why are you disturbing us?” She inquired “I have a surprise for you!” I squealed. I ran off towards the shore, the stepping stones seemingly bouncing in my wake. I ran hard, feet hitting the sand with powerful strides, kicking up little clumps of wet sand that soon got all over my face. I ran, for soon the tide would come in, destroying my precious work of art. My mother came after me, hot on my heels. As soon as she saw it, she started staring blankly in amazement at the masterpiece I had created. “You did this?” She was all zombie-like, apparently in awe of what I had done. Her mouth hung open, and for a while, all she did was stare. “Yes.” I told her very confidently, even puffing out my chest a little, to completely convince her that what I told was the truth, and nothing but the truth. My mother stayed frozen for a few more seconds, then ran back to my father. Now, it was her turn to ignore the stepping stones. “Look what Kira did!” My mother shouted
