interviews and quotes were fabricated. This is an example of where artistry is justified because it promotes cancer awareness. Similarly, another example of justified artistry comes from “A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies” by Bartolome de las Casas. In this letter, a Dominican Friar is writing to the Prince of Spain in an attempt to inform the prince of the treatment of natives in the Americas.

In the same way an artist adds another layer to their painting, Fashion…

despite the contingency life can have. “The Ant and the Grasshopper” is an Aesop’s Fable adapted by Jean de la Fountain. It has been adapted throughout the ages.

The clean-cut, dapper Neuromantic boys made their way back to the state of Pennsylvania, headlining their Punishment Tour. Joining them were two bands from New York, Candy Brain and Justin Symbol, along with Requiem from California. While the venue was a bit compact, it mad no different to the crowd or the band. Candy Brain, with the front stage lined with giant lollipops, started off the show. Bunny Abbit (vocals), Anton Silv (guitar), Rachel Zyats (keys) and Chelsee Chaos (bass) are the four…
