In 1984's Purple Rain, the title track is fictionally written and arranged by the women in Prince's character's (simply known as "The Kid") nightclub band. Out of egotism, The Kid refuses to play any of their compositions. After stage flubs and personal trauma, a humbled Kid performs "Purple Rain" in dedication to his father. He moves the audience, and regains the respect of his peers. It's considered his finest moment (and a defining point in the film). Art imitates life, because if I had to name

A few minutes later Lexi walked out and got into the passenger side of the car. She closed her door. Clicked in her seat belt and looked at me. “You ready Lex?” “Yep. Let's go get some breakfast.” She said. I put the
bustle of the city. However, that isn’t always the case. My most memorable vacation happens to be a trip to the city of Dubai in the summer of 2013. I remember packing for this trip I was so excited. I couldn’t explain why so happy and enthusiastic to go, because this would be my umpteenth time of going to Dubai. I was probably excited about shopping but little did I know I was in for a suprise. We arrived in Dubai in the early hours of the morning at around 7am local time. When we stepped out of the
Pokemon Go Pullover Video games! Video games are stress relievers for many people.

According to the research I did on the website before coming to the State Museum of Pennsylvania, ever since it was created in 1905, this museum has both collected and preserved the history of the State of Pennsylvania.(n.d., About Section, para. 1).

In a recent South Park episode, titles “The Cissy”, in order for his own personal gain to use the girls’ bathroom and later to receive his own bathroom, Cartman dons a pink bow on his head to become “Erica.” Meanwhile, Randy Marsh (as known as Lorde to most and Stan’s dad) must battle with his gender identity and that of his music as women at his work are uncomfortable with sharing a bathroom with him, therefore he must receive his own against his wishes.

how do we actually know what or if Hamlet is actually insane. So in the book, they say that the insane Hamlet is someone who is sane.

exclaimed Rikki. “Ohh yeah! Where is he?” “Here he comes! Finally I was getting worried! If only my cousin wouldn’t believe in communism though, but thank God he is one of the communist guards, so he can help us like this” “Hey here, I must go quickly, hide these in the floorboard now. Guards might come check up on you if you know what I mean.” said Dodge as he dropped the guns down and left. “I got Kaan, my brother, to send the rifles, and I am going to run down the hall really quick
time of the assassination. (Patterson, 2013) I on the other hand do not believe in the conspiracy theory yahoo bull whatever. Simple enough, Lee Harvey Oswald shot John F. Kennedy because he was affiliated with communist and he was just plain old crazy. And forgive me here, but I actually have faith in humanity. John F.
