Loretta Lynn

taboo to talk about. So of course, Loretta Lynn, appropriately named Queen of Country, wrote and performed a song about it. This spunky, out spoken, record setting country goddess saw absolutely no qualm when it came to discussing, “the pill”. Although this ground-breaking song on the birth control forefront might seem revolutionary, it was nothing new for an artist like Lynn, who characteristically wrote songs about the hushed aspects of domestic life. Loretta Lynn’s song, “The Pill”, pushed social

Patsy Cline once said “If you can’t do it with feeling- don’t.” This quote may not mean much to just an average person, but to me it is something I live by. Music plays different roles to different people. For myself, music inspires me, while some cannot stand to listen. You have used it as a hobby while others use it as an escape. Music has played multiple roles in my life. It has become something that I cannot live without. Music has been a hobby, an escape, but most importantly it has been a

I chose to do my album review on Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn – The Definitive Collection (App Coll CDisc 994). Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn were one of the best-known country music duos, with fourteen top-ten singles, five of which reached number one, and twelve hit albums. Conway Twitty was born two counties out of the Appalachian region in Coahoma County, Mississippi. Loretta Lynn, however, was born in Johnson County, Kentucky in the heart of Appalachia. Conway began his music career as a

measurement of dissected worms over a course of two weeks. In class we were given a tiny worm in a petri dish and it was given nothing but a pipette of water to survive in. I named my small worm Loretta Lynn, and then cut her into three somewhat parts (just eye-balling it) using a razor blade. Each segment of Loretta was now separated and swimming independently from the body they were once a part of. I hypothesized that the three parts would grow rapidly and very noticeably larger over the course of 14

and Plan for the Future What does Loretta Lynn have to do with the American Dream? Despite the negative circumstances in her life, Loretta Lynn persevered and had a very successful career in the country music industry. In Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie work hard and have dreams to own their own land. Loretta Lynn as well as George and Lennie from Of Mice and Men exemplify the aspect of hope and plans for the future within the American Dream. Loretta Lynn overcame many difficult circumstances

As one of America’s most beloved singer-songwriters, Loretta Lynn touched the hearts of many with her emotion filled and powerful songs. One of her most popular songs, Coal Miner’s Daughter released in 1970, was Lynn’s first recording admitted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The autobiographical song tells the story of Lynn’s childhood with depictions of hardship but also the pride and love in life that is never forgotten as life moves on. Lynn expresses throughout the whole song that no matter how

couldn’t quite explain what my fascination with that form of music, but I loved the harmonious sounds. When the tenor would hit into falsesetto and hit the high “e” it was unbelievable. The four songs that affected me the most was Old Rugged Cross by Loretta Lynn, I liked this because of two reasons. It had a deep meaning for me and God, it reminds me of the music my Mother and Grandmother adored. Second was Amazing Grace (My chains are Gone) by Chris

The seminar on “Symbiotic Earth” revolves around Lynn Margulis and how she started a scientific revolution. This film was made by John Feldman and includes 10 chapters/ essays as well as an epilogue to conclude. I really enjoyed this film since I’ve learned a lot in my classes about Lynn Margulis and her work. Margulis is given a lot of credit for learning and discovering a lot about symbiosis (although she is not who discovered this concept). She found that mitochondria and chloroplasts are endosymbionts

Since the mid-1800s, standardized tests have played a part in America’s education system. In 1969, the Federal Department of Education began focusing on the educational achievement of students. In 1994, the Clinton administration revised the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, created during the War on Poverty, to reduce achievement gaps in kindergarten through twelfth grade public education. The Clinton administration made every state that received money from the federal government for high-poverty

What will end the world as we know it? It could be climate change, disease, famine, or global war. If none of those come to pass there is always the truth that we are breeding our IQ into the basement. It’s called dysgeneic fertilization, and it has been happening for as long as we’ve been recording intelligence. Although this decline can be seen across the board, not everyone is affected the same way or to the same extent. With each generation that passes a gap widens between those retaining
