Dave Matthews Band

He was a father of four, married to an American wife Kathy and owned a successful painting and contracting firm. The story introduces their every day lives and explains Zeitoun’s passion for his work and the welfare of others like his own employees. I instantly became fond of him because not only was he a modest husband and father he was also a kind person that you’d be lucky to have as a neighbor. At first the family was a little concerned about the storm yet as soon as it began looking more…

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…

was just pictures drawn on a cave wall. Literature is what gives us knowledge of what went on ages and ages ago. The two novels I chose to read for this project are A Child Called “It” and The Catcher in the Rye. A Child Called “It” was written by Dave Pelzer in 1995, only 20 years ago, but is set back in the early 1970’s, about forty years ago. It…

personally love the way how the concert went, even though I’m not in the actual performance, but I still felt how excited the audiences was during the concert. During the Concert the music was played very soft and it did not have anything like the big band or African influence kind of characteristics. This Concert is a type of Jazz are called Smooth jazz, where in my opinion it is a combination of blues, rock and roll and pop music style. I love the way…

The Circle is a major business that maintains their focus to enforce everyone to work together as one unit. In the novel, The Circle, by Dave Eggers, there is an idea portrayed that every individual is a part of something greater than themselves. Eggers shows that anything that someone does, even a little act that does not seem to be important at the time, can have a major impact on the other individuals around them and even their society as a whole.

The first song is ‘Voiles’ composed by Claude Debussy. It is a 20th century piece in the Impressionism genre. There is only a piano in this piece, which is unique to the whole tone or Diatonic scale harmony used by Debussy. There are three melodic ideas presented throughout the piece. The first idea has no markings towards beat, the second melodic idea is joined with the first. After the one minute mark, the third melodic idea sets in and it starts to build up then trails off. Next, the song…

In today's society violence is everywhere from television to video games and in reality violence has become a part of our culture. Some researchers have said that this exposer is not a big deal but rather a potentially good thing as people will not have as low of a tolerance or shocked with violence. However there is another side that feels we are becoming desensitized and more prone to violence. When talking about violence it's not just with ideas or images we are more susceptible to but…

have gathered sufficient information to take an appropriate position on the issue regarding whether students at Mills High School should continue to read Zeitoun. Despite the numerous charges against Abdulrahman Zeitoun of domestic violence, author Dave Eggers’ purpose still remains effective and dissimilar to Zeitoun’s accused actions. Discrimination against Muslim-Americans and Islamophobia is prominently portrayed in Eggers novel, Zeitoun, as a way to depict the many injustices that occurred…

Behind my old tan house on McClure road is an open opportunity to have as much fun as you want, and as a kid I took advantage of that. I loved going out to just use my senses and explore. I would see how many different animals I could see or hear. I would listen to the birds hum their songs, and hear the chipmunks run aimlessly through the woods, cracking sticks every step of the way. Who knew such little animals could make so much noise! Sometimes I even thought they were bears! I never did see…
