The Jayhawks, “Waiting for the Sun” vs Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”. I was in shock when I heard this one. I love Tom Petty and was surprised to hear how similar these two are. “Waiting for the Sun” is a great song that I have never heard before and I immediately heard the similarity to Tom Petty. Red Hot Chili Peppers, “Dani California” is similar to the two songs mentioned above, but I can sense some differences. “Dani California” definitely has a faster tempo. I’m not exactly sure what the differences are, but they are there. Kenny Chesney’s, “Pirate Flag” is similar to the above songs, but it is not something I would have noticed if I wasn’t looking for it. Unlike “Waiting for the Sun”, I had to really
Even though these books were written a little over a hundred years apart, there are several similarities and differences. Both de Vaca and Rowlandson went through similar struggles such as starvation and dehydration, different weather conditions and troubles with the Indians. God was a factor in keeping both of them uplifted in their treacherous journeys. They both mention numerous times how God aided them. One slight difference is in Mary Rowlandsons book religion is more evident. She had access to a Bible which enabled her give quotes unlike de Vaca who barely had clothes on his back.
Throughout the years, America has pursued the performing arts in a large variety of ways. Theatre plays a dramatic and major role in the arts of our society today, and it takes great effort in all aspects. Musical Theatre, specifically, involves a concentration and strength in dance, acting, and singing. This is the base that Musical Theatre is built upon. For my Senior Project, I helped choreograph multiple scenes in a community musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie”. Choreography is a way of expressing oneself, but it has not always been thought of for that purpose. Agnes de Mille’s expressive talent has drastically affected how people see choreography today. Agnes de Mille’s influence in the world of dance has left a lasting impact in the Performing Arts Department, and her revolutionary works are still known today for their wit, lyricism, emotion, and charm.
The second song is “You Give Love A Bad Name”. This song opens with just the vocals proclaiming, “Shot through the heart and you’re to blame, darling you give love a bad name.” Next, the instruments com...
As time progressed, music had to continue to evolve to keep up with the ever-changing styles. Blues slowly began to morph into Rock and Roll to engage people of a new era. While many changes occurred in creating Rock and Roll, it continued to carry undertones of the Blues. This can be heard while comparing Son House’s, “Walking Blues” and Elvis Presley’s, “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” These two songs show many similarities, while also having their own identities.
“Rock Awhile” by Goree Carter is a lot more upbeat than “Devil Got my Woman”, with more swing to it. This song is much faster paced and can be danced to. Also about a woman, this song has more happy lyrics about a woman he loved and how his baby was coming home. There are a lot more instruments to this song like an electric guitar, a piano, a saxophone, percussion, etc. and the song was primarily instrumental, which emphasized these different musical instruments. Goree Carter’s voice was a lot smoother than James’ which made it easy to understand and follow along with, and the strength that came from his vocal style easily pulls you in.
There have been few people, if any, who could subvert stereotypes in such fascinating and iconic ways like Josephine Baker, and none of them did it while wearing a banana skirt. America’s most famous expatriate, Josephine Baker, has maintained a cultural impact over 42 years after her death. She exploded onto the 1920’s jazz scene in New York and shortly after took her talents to Paris, where she performed an original burlesque show, La Revue Negre (Lampley). This performance made her a star, and she quickly became the face of African-American jazz culture. There are many photographs that capture Josephine performing at the height of her career, but the problem with these photographs is that they only show a single facet of Josephine Baker.

The whole reason why Bigger doesn’t see what happened to Mary as an accident is because it was what helped him apparently find a sole purpose; as if what happened was what needed to happen in his life. After the death of Mary, Bigger saw it as a way of giving the whites what they deserve as he slowly gained a high sense of invincibility and masculinity. Bigger’s motivation was the way he viewed white America. He convinced himself that his whole life was meant for him to accomplish that one thing. Even if it was by accident, it gave him a clear cut purpose he didn’t have before.

I believe that the procedure performed on Jodie and Mary was morally wrong. In the case involving the twin sisters, they should not have been surgically separated because it went against the wishes of the parents, our duty not to do any harm, and because of possible negative psychological suffering that could occur with the surviving twin. It is not right to go against the wishes of the parents of infants and children because what the parents believe is best for their children should be valued since the rights of the infants belong primarily to the guardians due to their incompetency: the inability to make decisions due to their age and level of understanding. Jodie and Mary were born as conjoined twins. As a result of difficulties in the pregnancy,
