Saul, who would later become known as Paul after his radical conversion to Christ, was a man who represented the most extreme pathway towards Christianity one could take. A highly educated Jewish religious leader, Saul hunted down and persecuted Christians for what he believed to be ultimate blasphemy. Saul experienced an incredible interruption on his mission to eliminate Christians. In Acts 9:1-6, Jesus himself appeared in a bright light, and commanded Saul to turn from his ways and follow Him…
The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Led Zeppelin, The Beatles were fighting for the growth and popularity of their music to be spread worldwide. It all started when John Lennon, a skilled guitarist, founded a rock and roll band, and joined forces with Paul McCartney, eventually adding many more skilled artists, to call themselves The Beatles. The Beatles went through both troubled and jubilant times, but overall, ended up as a memorable musical inspiration and icon to many civilians throughout the…

As discussed, there are a number of common arguments against the eliminative materialism’s claim. In this section, I will highlight and review a number of reasonable objections to eliminativism, such as the Commonsense Objections to eliminative materialism, which suggests that it is completely absurd or self-refuting. I will conclude that many of the arguments set forth by Eliminative Materialism, are not really convincing and that eliminativism needs to do more than simply show that FP is…
John Lennon “If everyone demanded peace instead of a new television set, then there’d be peace.” John Lennon was one of the most profound and inspirational people in the world, even to this day. He was a leader for peace and was against war; he stood up for what he believed in and didn’t back down when people tried to attack his ways of thinking. He changed the world and people’s views, he got the attention of everyone and with it, he used it for good. John Lennon wasn’t just a singer in a…
relationship is personified through the lead vocal, Paul McCartney, who is challenged by the counterpoint harmonies that follow each line (i.e., the second vocal). The second voice sings in falsetto (i.e., singing in a higher octave than the normal pitch, of the lead) to create a counterpoint/contradiction to McCartney’s vocal; however, the counterpoint can serve as tension followed by the release done by McCartney (or vice versa). For example, when Paul sings, "a little better all the time"…
non-traditional looks and sounds. Though they always had split even song writing rights, there are songs where when you listen you can hear Paul more than John or vice versa, but it’s the fact of how one of them could write a whole song in its entirety and, during this time, they would be able to put a bit of their own personality into the song; as to say in a John written song, Paul can still insert himself in some sort of way, which in my opinion makes this partnership much more intricate.…
the word. Lennon then asks if the listener has “heard the word is love?” (The Beatles, “The Word”). According to this song, love can set one free. The song “Michelle” shows that love can exist even with a language barrier. This song is sung by Paul McCartney and he confesses his love for Michelle, a French girl. McCartney sings the words, “I love you, I love you, I love you / That's all I want to say” (The Beatles, “Michelle”). Although Michelle is not able to understand his words in…
