ABBA

I have chosen “Mamma Mia”, a fictional story inspired by the music of the Swedish pop group, ABBA. The title of the musical is one of the group’s songs, and it sung throughout the show. I chose it because I saw it pretty recently with one of my closest friends, and it opened up a world of new love and appreciation for Broadway and Musical Theatre to me, even though I loved it already.

When both relationships failed, the group’s…

Dear Keenan, It’s me, Tristan. I’ve wanted to reply to your thanks and the advice you shared with me, some of that has really stuck with me and will for the rest of my life.I wanted to say thank you for the thank you, but not only the thank you but for everything.

He created a movement that helped more than a thousand lives. Nowadays, I feel as if people can be very selfish. Not very many people care to think about other people’s lives or the dangers they face. Abba Kovner was not selfish at all. I doubt he thought once about himself during the Holocaust. Not only did he help thousands of lives, but he also was brave enough to say a speech in front of a whole ghetto, knowing that he’s probably be punished or even killed, had he been caught trying to…
