Walter Benjamin has in many ways throughout his work taken a Marxist fashion. Benjamin’s views of the transformation of art are that it has a significant effect of the change in economic structure. When briefly taking a look how technology has changed society, many would say that it had made our lives exceptionally easier. This being said, it has also come with a profound cost. Walter Benjamin in his essay “The Work of Art in Mechanical Reproduction” discusses photography’s impact on our…

The most important thing about me is -- I am producing this Rap Bible to reach a younger generation who probably would never pick up a Bible. I am not doing this for money, even though it will cost money to purchase because it cost money to make. I am not doing this to make my name great, even though my name may be promoted. I am doing this to express my artistic passion to reach a different audience. I believe this will be a one of a kind project and I am already looking forward to a remix…

Dan and The Free CD If there’s three things my friend Dan loves, its baseball, beer and jokes. Dan is the person to find humor in almost any situation. Like our freshman year of high school when Dan’s older brother, Tommy (a Senior at the time), had gotten arrested for trying to sell drugs to our school police officer, because he thought he seemed like “a chill guy”. I first met Dan in 6th grade resource room, a class period dedicated to help those students who need a little extra help with…

The masses were conspicuously absent. Daisy didn’t come to Gatsby’s funeral. The only people who showed up were Gatsby’s friend and neighbor; a man who’d been to one party, looked at some books and crashed a car; and a father Gatsby hadn’t seen in years.
