It first came about when Tim Harper started a rumor that Paul McCartney died, and put an article about it in his magazine. The news spread like fire in a gasoline factory and became one of the biggest conspiracies of its time.

After Paul ended it all, the Beatles didn’t want to break the fans’ hearts. So they called up Billy Shears, Paul’s complete physical and vocal lookalike to take his place. Still to this day Billy Shears is “Paul McCartney

Pepper album cover, if you look at Lonely Hearts on the drum logo backwards it says 1ONE1X HE1DIE, which is a sign of death and another hidden message by the Beatles. Time.com says “If fans placed a mirror in front of the Sgt. Pepper album cover, the words Lonely Hearts on the drum logo could be read as "1 ONE 1 X HE DIE”

In the song ,“ I am the Walrus” it says ,“stupid bloody tuesday” which is the day that Paul died, but this is an untrue statement because November 9th 1966 was on a Wednesday, not on a Tuesday.

Also in the song, “I am the Walrus” they sing about the eggman and the eggman refers to Humpty Dumpty, who died from a head injury, and coincidentally that is the same way Paul

    Tangerine Literary Analysis In the book Tangerine, Paul’s mother made many choices that changed the story in several ways. There were many occasions where she lied to Paul, and when he found out the truth, it caused a bigger problem. If she told Paul the truth from the beginning, there wouldn’t be such a big problem, but she waited until Paul found out. I believe that Mrs. Fisher wants to do good with Paul, but a lot of her choices lead to bad impacts.…

    The years 1963-1966 saw the pick of British rock and roll, a period guided by The Beatles. The Beatles started a revolution of pop music and made rock and roll the music that most people chose and they made Britain the centre of the music market of the time. The Beatles had been particularly effective because of their talent in writing lyrics of the songs that represented a new affirmation of the concept and image of the working-class. By being working-class image, writing their own songs, ignoring the larger adult audience in favour of appealing to youth alone, and expressing their opinions on society, the Beatles created the rudiments of a lasting image of the rock and roll musician – in pursuing these ideas, they became an idea themselves…

    Ring Around the Rosie and The Black Plague In the 14th century, a terrible plague also known as the Bubonic plague struck Europe in 1347, killing over a million people. There is a strange conspiracy theory about the relations between the nursery rhyme “Ring Around the Rosie” and the Black Death. These theories have been reported related to each other because of the lyrics of the song, and the symptoms in the disease. With that being said, I believe that the nursery rhyme has very little to do with the Black Death.…

    Foreign cultures are stigmatized, or shamed, for possessing different lifestyles and physical features because they don’t fit into the mainstream society of the culture. Many of these foreign people conform and find different ways to blend in with the culture. Kenji Yoshino, author of “Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights,” discusses several instances where people try and “cover” or tone down a disfavored identity (293). On many occasions, people cover a disfavored identity to assimilate themselves into a more accepted society. Yoshino suggests that we cover based on four axes where we assimilate to a culture: appearance, affiliation, activism, and association (305).…

    The comic, Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibson, employs a reoccurring symbol of a smiley face stained with blood covering its left eye. This reoccurrence of the symbol suggests that there is more to it than what the eye meets. It is such a simple symbol that shows happiness, yet is presented in such a convoluted manner in the comic. The smiley face in Watchmen is used ironically throughout the text to show how the characters, and perhaps all humans try to overlook or falsify violence, reality, and immorality, and further shows that these characteristics can’t be covered up. Additionally, the symbol suggests that we live in a pretense world where we try to find happiness, by ultimately happiness is unobtainable because there will always…

    Columnist Gregory Rodriguez has written about things such as immigration, political issues, as well as rumors. In “Truth is in the Ear of the Beholder” he discusses why people believe rumors for many reasons from trying to make themselves feel better, wanting it to be true and making sense of the world around them. Rumors can happen to anyone, including the President of the United States, usually very controversial, but that doesn’t prevent rumors from being told or believed. While he brings legitimate points to his argument to persuade readers there are also some fault in them as well. Rumors are processed differently as people hear them because of their own desires.…

    What intrigued most about 1984 is the symbolism it held. This is why I wanted to recreate a book cover that held a great amount of symbolism and a visual art piece that channels the many themes explored within the text. When writing 1984, I believe George Orwell’s style of writing and point in conveying actions were quite distinctive. His syntax gave off a tone of hopelessness and warning. A slow and fearful journey we follow Winston through that book…
