Nofx and so many others were influenced by them”. Is what Tony Sly (lead singer) from the No Use For A Name band said. Karan (Rockers reflect on the legacy of Kurt Cobain). Showing that before Kurt Cobain entered the industry the biggest bands today wasn 't relevant at the time. Kurt 's career was a success. He and his band sold over 30 million copies of one of the best work Nirvana ever (Nevermind) released. Kurt and his group released their first single “Love Buzz” which was also released by a small independent label Sub Pop Records who got the attention of many big record labels. “The group soon became a target for the major record label, with new drummer Dave Grohl who joined the band in 1990”. Augustyn (Kurt Cobain American Musician). Kurt and his group decided on getting a better drummer, so they got Dave Grohl. The following year Nirvana dropped their album “Nevermind” which sold over 300,000 copies the first week. Although Kurt wasn 't satisfied with his career success, He would always be depressed and started to abuse drugs again. He would go motels and disappear for weeks and consume heroin. “I don 't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it 's better to burn out than to fade away”. (Kurt Cobain Suicide Note).

Artist were starting to find…
Today I saw one of the most hateful racist and ignorant post by people who I thought were the future, our generations Americans. Today, I am disgusted because I cannot believe I went to school with half of you. I shared a part of my life with half of you, I mean I can say we had conversations, we went to school together and I would have thought of all of you as people who make mistakes, learn and grow from them would actually take the time to think before you say something so hurtful and…
Throughout the story, Kavangah tells multiple stories about parents dropping their troubled teens off at hospitals and leaving. Parents are leaving their children of ages, but no infants which is what the law was created for in the first place. Governor Dave Heineman states, “Safe haven laws were not designed to allow families to having difficulty with older youth and teenagers to abandon their child or responsibilities as a parent” (Heineman 1). Parents need another way to cope with their…

I believe that the book Zeitoun is an accurate story. It is very useful in bringing out what the main character, Abdulrahman Zeitoun did in New Orleans to survive the massive storm, Hurricane Katrina. It talked about how he was stranded there and showed us what his daily life was like. He encountered many problems of saving his own life, but also the lives of others stranded in New Orleans. There are a total of five parts in Zeitoun, but each part doesn't really fit with the part before it.…

It is terrifying to imagine a society in which nothing is kept personal, and as the inherent nature of technology continues to progress, this threat will only become more of a reality. Dave Eggers illustrates this pseudo-utopian world in his novel, The Circle, where his…
