As I sat in front of my computer downloading my favorite song from Napster, I started to think about how hard it must have been to write a song so sublime with the way the words flow from one another, and how talented one must be to do so. I started to think how hard people work on their music for themselves and their fans, and how their fans don’t realize what they are doing every time they download a song off the internet. What they don’t realize is that it is messing over the people who worked
Laurel Ulrich's A Midwife's Tale Before I watched 'A Midwife's Tale', a movie created from the diary found by Laurel Ulrich chronicling the life of a woman named Martha Ballard, I thought the women in these times were just housewives and nothing else. I pictured them doing the cleaning and the cooking for their husbands and not being very smart because of the lack of education or them being unable to work. My view on the subject changed however when I watched this specific woman's life and her
he waited for some beast of the woods to come within the range of his vision, and, later, of his rifle. But the game for whose presence he kept so keen an outlook was none that figured in the sportsman's calendar as lawful and proper for the chase; Ulrich von Gradwitz patrolled the dark forest in quest of a human enemy. The forest lands of Gradwitz were of wide extent and well stocked with game; the narrow strip of precipitous woodland that lay on its outskirt was not remarkable for the game it harboured
of string 2. Weight of bob 3. Angle of release The variables which I will be excluding from this experiment are: Gravity. This is a force pulling a mass down at a constant rate (at 10 Newton's, or to be precise 9.8 Newton's). Also no matter the size of an object the gravity will still pull the bob down at a constant rate. This will have little effect so I will chosen to exclude this. Air resistance. This will oppose the speed of the bob because as the bob is moving through the air
formed for them. This is shown as she stumbled on Hans Ulrich Obrist; an art curator, historian, and critic. Thornton quickly jumped to a conclusion of Obrist’s attitude towards the art world; making her “nonjudgmental participant observer” (Thornton 256) hard to come by. Right from the beginning statement of Hans Ulrich Obrist, it is obvious that Thornton thinks positively of him. “The swiftest conversation I had in Venice was with Hans Ulrich Obrist” (249). Thornton uses the word ‘swiftest,’ which
When Thomas Jefferson wrote the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, it became one of his greatest legacies. In the first line he wrote, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" (U.S. Constitution, paragraph 2). Jefferson wrote these words to give inspiration to future generations in the hopes that they would be able to change what he either would or could not. The word “men” in the Declaration in the early 1700 and 1800’s meant exactly that, but

April 6, 1976, the movie based on the Watergate scandal, All The President’s Men, was released and made a huge impact on the scandal by shining light on what really happened. The movie starred Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein and Robert Redford as Bob Woodward who played their parts mostly in the office setting of the Washington post as well as in the area of D.C. The movie added every detail of the scandal from the experiences that Bernstein and Woodward had in real life and based most of the screenplay
While it may be odd for a musician to publicly release his home address through his album, Canadian singer/songwriter Mac DeMarco did exactly that in “Another One,” his new mini-LP. At the end of “My House by the Water,” he gave a warm welcome to his home by reciting his address, and as if he was not hospitable enough, he also offered visitors a cup of coffee. DeMarco’s nonconformist and eccentric personality does not stop there, however, as “Another One” explores the realm of romance through warped

As the Beatles gained more exposure not only in their hometown, but around the country, the mass media was able to advance their notoriety providing them with further opportunities to bring their unique style to everyone.

Initially after World

I’m not talking about the war in Vietnam, but rather an invasion onto the music scene; four regular guys with not so regular dreams, made girls frenzied and boys jealous. The music was innovative and changed a nation’s thoughts on innocence, drugs, war and peace. They were the Beatles. It all started in 1956 with a small “skiffle band” called the
