Raft rough draft The message I will be conveying is the importance of embracing failure. My role will be myself as I understand myself the best. The audience addressed will be my fellow classmates.

Odetta After reading the articles about folk music as well as articles about the famous folk singer, Odetta Holmes, I have learned that, folk music is music with lyrics that contain social issues, economic issues, hardships as well as relationship difficulties. Folk music is traditionally played with no more than a acoustic guitar or banjo. I have also learned that folk music has been around for a very long time and is, perhaps, the very first genre of music that started all around the world

Response Paper #4 The folk music of the Civil Rights Movement “came out of tradition, common experience, and generations of resistance” (Dunaway 2010: 140).

"Catcher in the Rye" written by J.D. Salinger, is a novel in which the author creates much irony in the way he presents the loss of innocence or the fall from innocence in his main character, Holden Caulfield.

Both Tim O’Brien and Holden Caulfield have told lies in their stories to try and preserve the truth and to make the readers feel more emotions, to understand a deeper meaning in their stories. They both express how their stories are either completely made up, “I’m a writer now, and a long time ago I walked through Quang Ngai Province as a foot soldier.

The movie, Joan of Arc, that stars Leelee Sobieski is about a 15th century teenage girl hears voices from god who tells her what she needs to do. She ends up leading the French forces against the English. Although Joan really did hear the voices, this movie is not completely historically accurate.

The movie starts off in 1412 in
