Between the time period of 500 B.C.E and 1000 C.E, the silk roads, primarily in…
This past term I went on a college visit to Capri. Capri is a college for people to learn hair, makeup, and massages. When we got there, we walked in and there were people at the front desk asking names. once they have your name they gave you a small piece of paper that you had to fill out; so your name could be put in a drawing for a prize. You could walk around to the different stations they had there to look at all the things they had. the first on I went up to was the hair. My mom and me…
Though Blur’s Parklife is critically acclaimed, the album is honestly just general Britpop, and it's really nothing special. Not only does it draw most of its sounds from the likes of David Bowie and the Beatles, the overall sound of the album really didn't have any cohesion. Instead of the album having one similar tone that flows throughout, or two tones with a transition in the middle that actually makes sense, Parklife is just a collection of songs that would probably sound better together if…

Never Give Up on Your Dreams Loud cheers, big rounds of applause that can be heard from the entire continent, and people throwing flowers my way as they shout my name. The echo bounced from wall to wall waking everything in its presence. Bright lights shining upon me, bringing everything to life. Ever since I was a little girl, acting has always been a passion of mine. My life consisted of being on and off the stage. At the age of eight, I performed in my first show. The show was portrayed…
Many people presume that courage is simply a person who accomplishes a grand feat rather than having the quality of mind that enables a person to face difficulty or danger without fear. However, true courage depends on the eyes of the beholder. Courage is many things. Slyly embodied in both reticent and vital characters, Harper Lee in To Kill a Mockingbird and Reginald Rose in 12 Angry Men both create a broad representation of courage. In both works of literature, the idea of courage that is…

It 's easy for me to work hard if the if the work is easy to do. All throughout my high school sports career I have set myself up to fail. In track, football, and wrestling. For track, I would always focus on my strength and think that that would be the key factor determining how far I could throw. So I would always try to find time to get into the weight room and build up my strength. In practice, my coach would always try to help me with my form but I never listened to him because it wouldn’t…
