These musicians are Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, and Bob Dylan. The first of these influential musicians is Janis Joplin. To understand her beliefs and how she became such an inspiration, it is important to look at her upbringing. Janis Joplin was born in Texas in 1943. She was raised in a middle-class

Avalanche Gently, I open my tired eyes to the bright morning lights shining through the cracks of my aging tent. Stretching my awfully sore, cramping legs under my snowsuit, I take in a big breath of the mountain air. “Christopher, Michael are you ready to go yet? Get out of your tents!” Rachel hollers from her tent. “Alright,” Michael yells bitterly from behind me. Smiling, I carefully unzip my cramped tent and gaze in awe at my perfectly stunning snowy mountain view. Small, white flakes are

Response Paper #4 The folk music of the Civil Rights Movement “came out of tradition, common experience, and generations of resistance” (Dunaway 2010: 140). The songs used throughout the movement derived from the shared experiences and struggles of African Americans while connecting “the gentle, idealistic world of folk music and the integrationist world of civil rights” (Dunaway 2010: 145). Songs, such as “We Shall Overcome”, were put through the folk process, where a song is passed on and alterations

Soon after its release, audiences found some things that were unsettling, which led to the start of allegations.

still thinks about his business anymore. In this stave, the Ghost of Christmas Present appears to Scrooge, and shows his people having a happy Christmas, maybe trying to get Scrooge to like Christmas more. As Scrooge eavesdrops on Tiny Tim’s dad, Bob Cratchit, and hears him performing a toast to Scrooge. At this point, Scrooge realizes his character needs some improvement. When he sees his clerk, he gazes upon a family who is very poor, yet they love each other very much, and are a happy family

“Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life” (Bob Marley).

Overly grumpy and has extortionate avarice, this is Scrooge. Scrooge may also be malcontent, and he is this little miserly ol’ curmudgeon. Happiness, kindness, and Christmas, Scrooge hates, until a clique of three apparitions comes and shows him otherwise. May I also add the fact that Scrooge is not very liberal, instead he is odious, and misanthropic. This man was a miserable, depressed, heavy-hearted man. According to the text, no one ever stopped Scrooge in the street to say, with a gladsome look

Based on what I read Scrooge is a grumpy person with no feeling for the people around him. Dickens doesn't like this and says it is a big no-no is his world. Scrooge spends money on only what he needs to get by. He doesn't get why Christmas is such a big deal, even though everyone else is celebrating it with cheer.

Star Wars and James Bond have

Although it isn't hard to believe that people do not realize that there are difference between the book and the movie, in this case, that fits right into that subject. Here are some of the difference between the movie and the novel.

I think that this makes a difference because it doesn't show a big impact on the story. I think Charles Dickens put the
