Avril Lavigne Has Been Dead Since 2003 Conspiracy Theory American economist Thomas Sowell once expressed “One of the reasons for conspiracy theories is an assumption that people in high places always know what they are doing. When they do something that makes no sense, devious reasons are imagined by conspiracy theorists, when in fact it might be due to plain old ignorance and incompetence” (Sowell). Otherwise expressed Sowell explains how conspiracy theories are due because most people refuse to accept that not everyone knows what they do and if they made a bad decision or a mistake, it is not due to ignorance--something normal among humans--but to; different and foolish reasons. A Brazilian blog in blogspot.com started the “Avril Lavigne …show more content…
The Brazilian blogger deduces that after Lavigne was replaced, Vandella might have felt guilty and as if she owed Lavigne some sort of tribute, she did pay her by leaving small subliminal messages in her song’s lyrics and music videos. Following what the lyrics of Nobody’s Home and My Happy Ending assert, the blogger infers that Vandella could be sharing with the outside world how Lavigne, looking for someone to bent all her sadness and stress went to her parent’s home but found the house completely empty; then Vandella explains that she committed suicide by hanging herself off the ceiling emulating a mobile. Avril might have never wanted to end up the way she sadly did, so she might have tried to look for help before taking such a drastic decision; since the only person she ever had support from was gone, she tried to look for it on her parents but found herself disappointed and feeling worse. The brain as a human organ tends to consider suicide as a way to end all problems and stress; furthermore, for a depressed and desperate person, there are no second doubts. Melissa expressed on My Happy Ending “In a city so dead. Hanging so high. On such a fragile rope” (Lavigne). Melissa who is called in this case by the blogger the “New Avril” might have--as the blogger declares--experienced waves of guilt through the beginning of her new career as a singer because she knew that replacing a friend of hers that had died and worse of all, knowing that she was doing it just for money and fame, has never been a morally appropriate. It seems to the author as though Melissa has tried to make this feeling clear through the music. Avril Lavigne’s second album was released after the date of her supposed death and took two years after the last one to be released to the fans and the public. Fans started noticing the differences between both CDs from handwriting to

Brian Keeley’s short essay, “Of Conspiracy Theories” discusses conspiracy theories and their value in an epistemological context. Keeley defines a conspiracy theory as “a proposed explanation of some historical event (or events) in terms of the significant causal agency of a relatively small group of persons-the conspirators-acting in secret (Keeley 1999, pg. 116).” Keeley seeks to answer the question of why conspiracy theories are unwarranted. His interest in the warrant of conspiracy theories focuses on ¬the unfalsifiability of conspiracy theories and how conspiracy theories are founded upon an extraordinarily large amount of skepticism. In section III, Keely discusses what a conspiracy theory is, and contends that there is no grounds for distinguishing a warranted conspiracy theory from an unwarranted conspiracy theory (UCT). Keely expands upon section III in section IV, by introducing falsifiability and skepticism and giving a deeper analysis on the difficulties of UCTs. In section V, he discusses the issues raised and the implication of their popularity. A brief conclusion is given is section VI, in which he discusses the morals that should be taken away from the essay.
...en as a realization that she cannot survive in a society that puts such restrictions on women, thus committing suicide, or so we are led to believe. Or it could be viewed as an act of tremendous courage, removing herself from a world that cannot hold her to societal expectations or rules.
Cheryl Strayed was twenty-two when she lost her beloved mother to lung cancer. It was such an unexpected death, she had no time to prepare for her mothers disastrous fate. Since she had no time to prepare, her grieving process lasted much longer than anyone expected. But, she had great reason. Her mother was the heart and soul of their entire family; keeping her brother, sister, and new stepfather all together. Without their mother being the glue that held them together, they all fell apart from each other, not even keeping in touch.
she is just lost in technology. She doesn’t value her life because she tries to commit suicide. In
Ask anyone “Do you know who Paul McCartney is?” and their response would most likely be “Yes.” Ask anyone “Did you know Paul McCartney died in a car accident on November 9th, 1966 and the “Paul” alive today is actually a replacement?” and their response would be to run in the opposite direction. As ridiculous as it sounds, there is a good number of people out there who would not run in the opposite direction. The rumor of McCartney's “death and replacement” began in 1969, and it is now widely known as a conspiracy theory called “Paul Is Dead”. “Paul Is Dead” theorists claim the other Beatles covered up McCartney's death by replacing him with a man who looks exactly like the deceased Beatle, but once the guilt got to them they began inserting clues of the cover-up into their songs and artwork.
Classic rock albums had really art on them. Nowadays there is always some trashy looking guy or girl on the front and it’s just saddening. There was always something new. There was never the same looking album cover on and album. Now all of the album covers look the same.
Artists and fans alike have been at the forefront of the music-scene revolution, and both have benefited in a number of ways. While major record labels try to find new ways to return to the years of massive profit, many artists have found new ways to connect with fans on a more personal level as well as new ways to get their music heard. Fans are discovering the perks of following artists that aren't controlled by four-record deals and corporate input. The music landscape is changing. This is a good thing.
...oyed in the background. On November 1, 2014 Brittany passed peacefully in her bedroom just like she had planned. Some may not agree with the fact that Britany planned her death, but many can see that she no longer had to suffer, and her family no longer had to watch her suffer. Instead of nature taking its course and killing Brittany through unbearable pain, she was able to pass peacefully with loved ones at her side, and with the chance to say “goodbye”.
... As expressed in the journal, Rihanna had many thoughts on her mind and was going through so much stress, but she still had the power to gain her strength and confidence to overcome her obstacles. Critics believe that Rihanna is trying to discover herself and figure out who she really is as a person. I believe Rihanna is just putting on an act and is fooling everybody so she can make that money.

The essay, “Walk to Morning”, by Joseph Boyden details the failed suicide of the author. If one was to describe said story with a single word, no word would do better than the word decision. What is evident to the reader in the beginning of the story is how the author was mistreated the night of his attempted suicide, claiming she “was, saying nonsensical things and being mean to me”. At any time during this sudden change of attitude, the author could of made a decision to inquire about the cause of this sudden hostility. If this action was taken, perhaps his girlfriend would of at least explained the causes of why she wanted to break up with him or at least give him some meager sort of comfort following the break up.

It’s like when she refuses to go to school and instead chooses to “HomeSchool” her self in this she is refusing accept the fact that one day, she’ll lose either Sofie or Adrienne. Instead of facing the reality of things, she chooses to “ [Flip] on the tv” instead of “Writing a poem” for school, hinting that she no longer wants to think about the school. Unknowingly, however, she makes connections to her real life situation, like when she when watches “THE MOST DANGEROUS AND AWFUL MOMENTS EVER”, which seems like a very violent show but she chooses to watch it anyway. Her choice of show, seems replicate her situation,which is riddled with violence, denial and cover ups. The next show that pops up is the Reena Virk case, here she feels mad. This show seems to hit to close to home. “[There] are group of girls, just like [her], Jackie, Adrienne and Amber. Who are not waving but drowning.” which makes a connection to the poem. This statement seems quite odd, in here she states “Who are not waving but drowning” almost as if all of them are struggling like her. All of them who choose to cover it up by laughing and giggling. Just like when they attacked Sofie at the beach and after they all laugh “First Amber laughs, then Jackie and all around the circle”. Bradie seems to hint that they laugh to cover up the horrendous thing
