Maroon V and OneRepublic Maroon V (five). OneRepublic. Both of these are bands you have probably heard of on the radio at least once. Maroon V is quite a bit further ahead than OneRepublic despite the fact that they are just a few years apart in age. The reasoning behind that could be that they are obviously similar. It is probably just because Adam Levine is a swoon-worthy man. There are many ways in which the bands are similar, but are there really that many in the ways they are different? Well

Due to her being overlooked factual information is unclear and her history was handed down thorough folklore.

Back in the 17th to 18th century, Nanny was a leader of the Rebellious group of black people called Maroons (people living on

Gun shots in the distance, dogs barking from of police sirens, the sound of footsteps asphalt. Hiding under my sleeping bag breathing hard I think to myself, “how the heck did we move from a safe neighborhood to this shit town?” Rolling myself over on my hands and knees off my makeshift bed I carefully listen to my surroundings -- nothing. A sigh of relief comes out of me as I force my eyes to adjust to the darkness in my room focusing on my bedroom window trying to remember if I locked it. My first

In 1897, my great-great-grandfather was born in North Carolina. His name was Roy Hudson. He served in the army in World War One and he died in 1960 from a lengthy issue with his heart. His heart issues started when he developed pleurisy, most likely from sleeping on the cold, wet ground while in the Army during World War One. He was only sixty-three years old when he died. Just before he died, he gave his wife, my great-great-grandmother, his glasses, a book, and a billfold. My great-great-grandmother's

liberator of the Maroon of Mexico, and the list goes on. In Jamaica we have our own fleet of monuments and statues, a proud representation of our own history, culture and achievements. Historically, Jamaicans are a proud, strong-willed people known to the world as freedom fighters, revolutionaries even trend setters. Going all the way back to 18 century Jamaica and you will see the Maroons led by Nanny and her brothers fighting and standing up to Europeans powers. In the second Maroon war of 1795, 300

The words “Come on Maroons” echoed through the house as my dad encouraged our team through the TV. The monster I witnessed yelling as Queensland was being slaughtered is completely different from the person I see on a day to day basis. From a kind and caring father to someone who fills your heart with fear as the New South Wales scores against Queensland.I’m sure many of you were yelling last week at the atrocious outcome for State of Origin, but this isn’t the only place we see aggression towards

‘The Maroons’ Jamaica’s fighting spirit can be seen even in its early days with the Maroons. The fighting spirit is not uncommon with people who are oppressed or forced against their will. The Maroons came in two waves, the first are slaves that fled during the Spanish rule, the second wave was during British control. The Maroons used the highlands of Jamaica to seek refuge, establish colonies and attack plantations when needed. Even today the beliefs and herbal practices of the Maroons are still

Joel Johnson It’s Not Rape if You Sing It: Animals The Music Video a refreshing portrayal of American culture. The pop rock band Maroon 5’s new hit single Animals from their fifth studio album V is their 10th song to reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. At first glance it appears to be just another unoriginal pop rock song; melodic, repetitive. But as we look at the press that surrounds both the song and its music video we find a controversy surrounding sexual violence and objectification

recognize Adam as the lead singer of Maroon 5, but this is not where he started. Three of the five boys that are a part of Maroon 5 today, including Adam, started playing together at the young age of 12. In his early years he was a part of a band called, “Kara’s Flowers” (Edwards). “Kara’s Flowers” formed in 1994; having little success they decided to go their separate ways and go to college for a short time.
