15 minutes of fame

A future hall of fame quarterback trying chips in a supermarket sounds like a decent idea for a Tostitos commercial. This is actually advertising Nationwide Insurance. While this advertisement might entertain the viewer and get the Nationwide jingle stuck in their head, this advertisement for Nationwide is unlikely to be effective because, it doesn’t mention car insurance, and because Peyton Manning doesn’t give any credibility to this advertisement. This advertisement goes through a day in the…

human eyes to do a double take to see what’s actually on the painting. I have tried many different ways to observe the painting, just quickly glaring at it; all I see is just a canvas full of splattered colors, but when I look at it closely for a minute objects appear. Objects like an eye and an ear appear around the painting. Jackson Pollock was very interested in surreal…

introduced to music very early in his life. His music began to fade away for a while when he began to study law and philosophy. He first made a name for himself by writing ballet scores for Diaghilev in Paris. Stravinsky first achieved his musical fame with three ballets authorized by impresario Sergei Diaghilev and first performed in Paris. When Stravinsky was nine-years-old, he began taking piano lessons. When Stravinsky was 18, he met the son of Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov,…

The American Dream What is the American Dream? The American Dream is the ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. Well, what does that mean? I think that it means that everyone in the US has the same right to live out their life and live out their dream just as long as they work hard for their dream, are determined to get to their dream, and have originality for their, or their own, dream.…

Constantly under the scrutiny of the media, bombarded for your personal life, and made a martyr for every imperfection you posses. Michael was able to take that spotlight and lead his team on the gridiron for 15 seasons, culminating with a Super Bowl victory in 2008, which proved to be his last game (France, 2014). Michael Strahan is the embodiment of the Warrior Ethos. “The military ethos Gene had drilled into his son, said Art Strahan, “was 100 percent…

He appeared on Ellen DeGeneres in 2001 at 5 and his career has been steady progressing with the likes of Buddy Guy using him to warm-up his audience. Quinn took the stage and about half way through his first number, the crowd was just…

had to be in a dark prison cell with no windows for eight days by himself. Another firebomb incident happened, but this one was thrown onto his brothers porch. Although the KKK did not take credit, it is almost 100 percent known that it was them. Minutes later, again more than likely by the KKK, Gaston Motel, which is home to King’s headquarters, was bombed. Through his work during the civil rights movement, Martin was continuously getting death threats or tapes telling him to end his own life.…
