The life of Pat Tillman was a lot of things, so in this concoction of words I will explain three. He never gave himself credit for anything he didn’t do and even when he did do something he found something higher to give the credit to. For instance, after one of his games he said “I didn’t play all that well, but the team played great”. he did not boast of his success he did not want all the fame for being great or to get attention. he played football because that’s what he loved to do, he didn't do it for the money. Pat showed his modesty all through his life, no matter if he was at home with his friends. So all in all Pat Tillman was a vary modest person. Another notable quality of Pat Tillman was his selflessness. the kind
Patterson was a quiet, co-operative, ever-accommodating man. The press liked him because he "knew his place," was always polite, and 'did the right thing.
What’s good in the music industry is its openness into hearing out budding artists, may it be worthy or not to listen to. The always changing demands of mainstream music require artists, acts and groups to comply, or other aspiring performers would be taking up center stage and steal the spotlight. Despite the risks involved, many ambitions and the people who carry it surge through the business accompanied by their strong liking to entertain and the undying passion to reach what they truly dream of. And we, as the majority who don’t like the squeamish effect of attention, gauge each passing act, as if deciding for them if they will be lasting in the industry or not. One name reverberating through the halls of mainstream music is that of Bryson Tiller, and with how things are rolling for this very talented future superstar, he is meant to stay longer than the rest.
As he got older, and famous, you realize that events like that and the little skits that he put on shaped him to who he was when he was older. he was always trying to find talent and to entertain people. He saw his actual first type of big event when he was just four years old from him and his family having to seek protection in Chicago from the great fire in 1871. He began to have his first experience of show business from his father who was the founder to the college at Chicago music school however he did hate school so much that his parent sent him to work on a farm and after being on the farm for a couple months he went back to Chicago to continue his life.

It was also concluded that she might have suffered brain damage, and she could not change her ways in order to obey the law. At the end of the trial, the jury unanimously decided to convict her to the death penalty. The reasoning behind this was that there were five total aggravating circumstances and only one mitigating factor. The final decision of the jury was that, although she had obvious mental problems, she knew when she was doing the work.
Harold Shipman was a British middle-aged family doctor turned a serial killer, and he is believed to have killed at least 236 patients over a twenty-four year period (Saferstein, 2015). The glaring question is how does a medical doctor betray the needs of patients, and more importantly, how does he elude suspicion for nearly two and half decades. Let us examine the key facts and circumstances surrounding Dr. Harold Shipman, also dubbed Dr. Death, and determine why he was to kill undetected for so many years beginning with Dr. Shipman’s teenage years.

He had to fight to get his musical artist airtime on the radio and television spot to spread their music to national audiences. There were times that some of my co-workers thought I was undeserving of a job offering I had received, so through my constant hard work, I had to constantly prove to them why I was deserving and a great pick for the job.
Throughout the ages, men and women have been at the heart of myths and legends, evolving into tragic heroes in large part due to the embellishment bestowed upon them over the ages. From Odysseus and Achilles to Brutus, Hamlet, and King Lear, epic poems have revolved around the tragic hero. Pat Tillman was a man of many aptitudes and virtues, never satisfied by the mediocre, striving for more adventure, more meaning, in his tragically short time on Earth, and personifying the phrase carpe diem. Even Pat Tillman had tragic flaws; his unwillingness to be typical, his undying loyalty to family and country, and his curiously concrete set of morals amalgamated to set in motion Tillman’s eventual death. These, whatever the outcome might have been, are not by any means, the archetypical tragic flaws. They are, as Jon Krakauer later described, “tragic virtues.” Where Men Win Glory is not solely a tribute to Pat Tillman. What makes it truly unique is its exhaustively comprehensive history preceding Tillman’s death, and equally essential, the events that transpired following his death, including the cover-ups, scandals, corruption, falsified documents, indignities, and lies that facilitated, also, in emphasizing the core themes, of which Tillman was the epitome. Tillman’s fidelity and devotion to the people whom he loved, the use of misinformation and cants surrounding his death, and others’ responses to what Tillman considered paramount in his life all played a key role in the tragedy of a man who won glory.
The life of Charlotte Perkins Gilman began on July 3, 1860, this was the day an inspiring, passionate, prominent American feminist activist and public figure was born. Gilman was born to her mother Mary Perkins and father Frederic Beecher Perkins. She had one brother, Thomas Adie, who was only 14 months older than Charlotte. Some months after Charlotte was born, Frederic, the provider and man of the house, decided to abandon the new family of four. Mary was no longer able to support her small family as she was a homemaker, so most often the family was with Marys’ fathers’ aunts, Isabella Beecher Hooker, Catharine Beecher, and Harriet Beecher Stowe! Unbelievable, right? Clearly talent runs in the family. As some may know two of the three women are notable women of history, the most famous of the three Harriet Beecher Stowe who wrote “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”.
Most of us have different ways of escaping into our own alternate realities. My means of escape mainly involves video games. Usually when I pick up the controller, the real world gets blocked out and I get so focused on the game, that I end up losing track of time. Three hours can pass by and it will feel like twenty minutes when I play. I find that when I am stressed over something, playing my Playstation 4 is the best solution to take away that stress aside from playing a couple rounds of basketball. There are video games that look so realistic to the point to where it feels like I am actually inside of the game. I would say that video games trick my mind into thinking whatever happens in the game will affect me in real life. Fear inducing games such as Resident evil, or Outlast can have a huge
A few United States Soldiers have attached to their names more controversy than Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer. An 1861 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, Custer became one of the Civil War’s generals at age 23 years old and received the nickname “Boy General.” His meteoric rise was based in no small degree upon his aggressiveness and reckless courage under fire.1 It was his reckless courage, however, that he was tragically defeated at the Battle of Little Bighorn, also commonly referred to as “Custer's Last Stand”. Custer failed to execute the operations process in which he failed to understand, visualize, describe, and direct his forces that ultimately resulted in his demise and cost the lives of
