If you can't find something to live for, you best find something to die for. - tupac

This quote speaks volumes in my life. Even when you feel that you have nothing to live for keep digging because you might have something to die for. We are all put on this earth for a reason and I truly believe, what we do in this life matters in the next. With this new year I plan on living life to the fullest because I would rather have a meaningful life then a boring one. I want to die knowing that I made an impact on someone's life.

When I was fourteen I had a cousin that passes away of a brain tumor. Through her death I found my purpose in life. I want to help others that have gone through the same experience. I haven't yet found out in what way I

    Anna Quindlen Commencement Address Analysis

    Have you spent your life on things that make it worth living? Are you simply existing in this life or are you living in it?

Quindlen’s use of rhetorical devices, personal stories, and quotes helps her express her main points, that one must make their life worth living and that life should never be taken for granted because there are so many things to live for. Throughout Qundlen’s speech she uses all three of the appeals to create a connection with her audience.…

    Summary Of Tupac's Posthumous Live Tour

    Russell A. Potter in “Tupac’s Posthumous Live Tour,” makes copious claims leading to his argument: that holographic concerts by dead artists such as, Tupac Shakur isn’t a bright idea due to the fact that their presentation on the platform wouldn’t be genuine and overall it wouldn’t “have the complexity, or the humanity, to really compel our interests. ” I disagree with Potter’s argument because a holographic concert by Tupac Shakur could potentially raise money for charity. For example, there was a holographic concert by Chief Keef on July 31st of this year, to raise money for a 13 year old boy who was run over by a car. Secondly, Tupac’s presence is kept alive and relevant. According to Rose Lilah, after Tupac’s appearance at Coachella, there…

    Tupac And My Non-Thug Life Analysis

    Jenee Desmond – Harris wrote an article called “Tupac and My Non-thug Life,” which was published in an online article called The Root.

This article is about how Desmond – Harris, as a young privileged half white, half black teenage girl, finds herself trying to embody Tupac after his death. The contradiction of this is that Desmond-Harris did not relate to Tupac in the ways of how they grew up. Desmond – Harris had yet to confront any of life’s hard edges when Tupac had passed.…
