1999

during an interview for his school paper in 1976 saying “I've had about two lessons, but they didn't help much, I think you'll always be able to do what your ear tells you” (DeGraaf, 2016). “Known for his originality and flamboyant style both on and off stage, Prince's large body of work incorporated a variety of musical styles, including funk, rock, and R&B” (Jarnow, 2016). Prince was able to play a wide variety of musical instruments, including guitars, basses, synths, bongos, congas, finger cymbals, wind instruments, orchestral bells, and woodblocks. He also wrote and sang his own musical pieces. Prince’s inspiration came from mostly the events around him, but he also found inspiration from his trips to European nightclubs. Prince’s songs “1999”, “Delirious” and “Little Red Corvette” all came from the inspiration he received while on tour in Europe in 1981. Prince helped spread the movement of black artists with his wild popularity, “When Prince hit the scene, few black artists were prominent - let alone playing rock, which was predominantly performed by white artists” (DeGraaf, 2016). Prince’s talent and hard work was not for nothing, before Prince was 50, he had won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, sold 100 million records worldwide, and won seven Grammys. Prince even played during the halftime of the Superbowl at the Dolphin Stadium in 2007. Prince played a few classics along with a number of his own songs, including “Purple Rain”, which while performing, a sudden…

1999. The two girls let themselves into the big brownstone on the corner of Walsh and Bishop. They used a key from under a fake rock in the yard because their babysitter wasn’t there yet. Unusual behavior for their babysitter, a teen girl named Bianca. Most afternoons, she’d be right there. Ready to give them hugs. However, the girls knew where the key was. They knew to start their homework right away. If they didn’t, Father would come home and give bruises. Ten-year-old Angie took her math…

The United States of America has undergone major changes ever since the Revolutionary War was won. As well as major continuities in the change of political beliefs, economic policies, and the way the government was ran. The United States was going through growing pains, this would allow for a reformation of the government along with the politics at the time. These continuities and changes will shape the future of the Untied States of America along side its alliances with countries who were once…

The article “IEEE Case 1999: Infants under pressure”, describes an unethical scenario in which an engineer in MedTech was fired because he argued with his manager about a flawed product and threatened to report it to a regulatory agency. The article insinuates that company did not agree with Sam Wilson on product quality so they fired him. In this instance, the consensus on the ethicality of the company’s action would be that they were being unethical because they did not worry about the…

When we land in Acirema, I am tired. I couldn 't sleep on the boat, something from the party didn 't add up. The guy who yelled "Is that the one they thought had both powers?" how had he known about that? I try to tell myself that the only reason he knew was because most people there were apart of the Acirema government, so maybe that 's how he knew. But another part of me feels like there 's a sign on my forehead saying "Hey look at me I 'm the freak with both gifts!" Even though I still don 't…

the NBA would be the only possible thing I would be able to do in life. It did not happen and I was kind of lost for a point in my life with not knowing what to do with myself. After I graduated high school I decided eventually to go play basketball at the local junior college and it just didn’t feel the same for me and I lost a lot of confidence in myself in about everything. For the first time in my life I quit a team which was a huge mistake and something I should have stuck out and did…

My child observation and classroom observation took place at the Mt. San Jacinto Child Development and Education center in the preschool/pre-k (ages 36 months to 54 months) program room. This classroom has 2 teachers and 15 children in attendance during my observation. My study child is a male student age 4 who for this assignment I will refer to as C. The classroom environment as a whole can handle the children within the program, however I will provide a better picture of the entire room to…

This is dedicated to a muse of mine. --- "Leah! What the hell are you doing?" Alec yells at me from the other side of the soccer field. "Running away from you," I tell him, sticking my tongue out at him for good measure as I kick the ball past him. "I thought we were still playing." "You know I 've got to be home and cook dinner," he says, running a hand through his sweaty dark hair. "Your mom 's working?" I ask, dribbling the ball with my feet absentmindedly. "Yeah, late. Clinic hours…

The thin metal door of Rukia's locker swung open, revealing her colorful folders and an extensive amount of Chappy decorations. Sighing, the raven haired girl deposited a rather large stack of textbooks into the space. "This is what I get for taking all advanced classes," she muttered to herself, grabbing her bag. As Rukia turned to leave her locker, a bright orange figure positioned itself, or rather herself, to Rukia's right. "Hi, Rukia." "Hey, Orihime." "Are you free after school?" "I…

One thing I try not to forget is that no matter how nice the Miners are to me, they’re not my friends. Not even Gator who I treat like a younger brother. Their allegiance is totally and completely to Kane. If he decided he wanted me gone I was gone, no questions asked. Knowledge like that can mess with your mind if you let it. The club has an endless supply of pussy coming and going and they make it clear that fucking and sucking the club president is their number one goal in life. Gloria…
