    Flames shot twenty feet into the air. Drums blared, guitars strum, and one tear escaped my eye. This was the greatest experience of my life, I was finally getting to see my hero, Paul McCartney. While most kids of the generation look up to the the likes of Justin Bieber, and Ariana Grande, I differ. My hero has integrity, he stands up for what he believes in, even if it’s not a popular opinion. Even better is his ability to inspire, his lyrics and rhetoric make people change for the better. A true

    however, in my opinion, without being biased to any sides, the Boston Massacre should be considered a riot. The first reason I believe the Boston Massacre is because of Paul Revere's painting. After studying his painting, I would say it is very inaccurate. Not only was Crispus Attucks not shown as an African American, but Paul Revere shows innocence to the crowd of colonists. It was said that colonists had started by throwing snowballs, but snow is also not located anywhere on the painting. The

    away from the established mold. Abigail Solomon-Godeau write of one such artist from this period, Paul Gauguin, not only for his experimentation into expressionism but for the relation to which he viewed the native people of Tahiti, regarding them from a primitivist lens, appropriating much of their culture, and the sexualization of women. Going Native by Abigail Solomon-Godeau deals primarily with Paul Gauguin, a late nineteenth century artist generally known for pioneering the expressionist movement

    It’s a cold California night in December as David Faraday and Betty Jensen are sitting in their car with heavy feeling towards each other. They are the only ones around, lost in each other’ embrace. This might sound like a love story, but shortly after, their fantasy was ripped apart as they stared into the twisted, evil eyes of a man. That was the last thing they saw, evil, and they died in fear. What followed would be the first confirmed murders by the Zodiac killer. He is the most successful serial

    “Why are we here, what is the purpose of life?” Questions like these have haunted human beings for millennia. How people answer questions such as these can determine the course of their lives. The answers, of course, are as individual as are people. For me, the answers revolve around three things that I consider the most important in life: to know God, to know yourself, and to know your part or calling. Know God Knowing God is foremost because relationship with God is what people are primarily made

    Themes Of Johnny Tremain

    Esther Forbes published Johnny Tremain in 1943, when the United States was in the middle of World War II, in which the United States and the United Kingdom ,yet another way to refer to Great Britain, were allies. But that's okay because Forbes makes it clear that England is not the real enemy but the real enemy is any government that threatens the liberty of its people or just doesn't stand up for them. So, in a roundabout way, Johnny Tremain is partly about the importance of workman's comp laws

    Since its release on December 22nd of 1967, the Graduate has become an iconic piece of cinematic art. Like most art, the Graduate has the curse of being easily misunderstood, and is much deeper than one would recognize at first glance. With a haunting soundtrack from Simon & Garfunkel, including the well-known song “The Sound of Silence,” the tone of the movie is extremely melancholy and saturated with the uncertainty and sadness of someone who is unsure of what their future holds. Ben, the main

    Lylah Rosemarie Galloway: a bold and animate toddler that I am lucky to call my little sister. Children are beautiful in special ways and are often latched onto by the rest of the aging world that is envious of a being so youthful and untouched, but Lylah is more.

Her small, yet expressive, face is among her most lovely features. It’s something artists would draft
