WHAT IS FREEDOM? There is a time, when someone amazing, does or achieves an outstanding accomplishment, they are remembered for a short time. But some of those people are forgotten, lost in the midst of time. Nobody would guess that a little girl in Wyoming would remember that person, and write about what he did, and why he was important. Maybe someone who reads that essay will learn about that person, remember him, and spread the remembrance of him. A hero, let me repeat that again, a hero.…

Shedding your name like shedding a skin, from Jimmy Valentine to Ralph D Spencer. Jimmy Valentine was a bank robber who never owned p to his crimes. He then goes to Elmore, Arkansas and meets the love of his life Annabell. From that point on he was a changed man, learning which Jimmy he liked more, the crook or the good man. Jimmy Valentine was trying to live a moral life because he was willing to sacrifice his life, he showed integrity, and he changed who he was. Jimmy Valentine was trying to…

these nights are jeongguk’s favourites. sometimes they're planned weeks in advance and other times they're spur of the moment. today's a spur of the moment thing. seokjin announced he'd be visiting sandeul for a night, which meant they'd have yoongi and seokjin’s room to themselves which is huge. they could probably fit all seven beds in this room. jeongguk isn’t doing much to hide his excitement, eating the chicken yoongi was assigned to cook (he bought it) quickly and offering to do the…

There once was a girl, fettered to a wall ever since she was young. There was no one guarding her, taking control of her, or feeding her, yet she felt no hunger. She would not holler for help or even call out for a savior as she felt as though everything was pointless in the world she was in. Her only friends were the the little sanity she had left and the darkness that kept her hidden from society. The rusted chains simply pierce the thin skin of her wrists ever so slightly as the chains held…

Freedom of this great nation has come with a payment, the payment came in the form of capturing men and women as hostages. While they were held hostage they were treated like animals, they either ended up dead or tormented in some cruel way. Is it hard to believe that freedom isn't free? People do not know what it’s like to have their freedom taken away from them, but these prisoners do. The things that prisoners of war went through, nobody would want to go through but they somehow found…

The song is cool and chill, and the instrumentation that Leadbelly uses is guitar. I also notice the call and response in this piece of music. For example he sang the line of “My girl, my girl, don’t you lie to me..where did you sleep last night,” and then he followed by saying “Come on and tell me somebody.” I think Leadbelly should be recognize as an artist or musician in the society. Despite of his heinous crimes, it should not be affected in his career as a musician. Personal life and his…

This song is very popular because of how age is going by and because since everyone ages it can tell people that people go through life quickly. What this song is many describing is that age and life comes and goes very quickly and very fast. How the band, Five For Fighting describes this is that it describes a person through his/her life cycle and that it starts out with he is 15 years old, then he slowly ages more and more over time. What I have noticed is that, once in awhile, he talks more…

When I have traveled, I have seen a lot of different things such as landscapes, air quality, plant life, etc. When I was 2, I moved to Miami, Florida, which I don’t remember much about. Then we moved to Columbus, Georgia where I spent half of my childhood. Georgia looks way different than here in Virginia. The air and the land is drier and it’s more humid down there. A lot of plants and trees are dead and I think that is because of the type of climate they have in Georgia. Their climate is…

The theme is inner strength. Inner strength means you are confident and faithful in yourself.You won't let anything or anyone break you down or make you feel bad about yourself. You are confident that you can accomplish anything and you are very strong in the inside even if you're not in the out side . For example if you want to save your family but you aren't confident in yourself you won't be able to save them since you are insecure about yourself. But if you shove all the negative thoughts at…

Freedom is a thing that many people take for granted. In fact, the freedom that people rarely consider, is that of a car. When a car breaks down, people lose that freedom, and everyone finds it an inconvenience to get it fixed. Cars are the center of people’s lives, and people would be lost without them. They are an important part of many people’s lives, and they can give many people freedom to do things that would otherwise be impossible. The invention of the first affordable car helped usher…
