The ear splitting sound of my guitar shook the house off the ground. I was a normal teenager with a strong passion for music. My friends and I were in our own band. I loved music and was especially fond of my tattered electric guitar. The basement was our stage and our parents were the fans. Although the band was not the best, we were all very passionate. Our band was either always in the compact basement practicing together, or hanging out at the music store. One day at school my eyes were…

I have chosen to Mithraism and Chateau Bas as my two examples of the difference and growth of Roman religion. I feel these two examples show just how much of other cultures the Romans absorbed as they were conquering. The first known practice of Mithraism was in 6th century BCE Iran.

Since the 2000 publication of The Tipping Point, he has been less a journalist than, as Fast Company once deemed him, “a rock star, a spiritual leader, a stud.” Business executives seek him out for his insights, adoring fans stop him on the street to shake his hand, and other writers strive to emulate the genre he essentially pioneered—the idea-driven narrative that upends the way we think about everything from…

Most people who have seen Finding Nemo would probably remember the scene where Nemo’s father, Marlin, asks Crush, the hipster sea turtle, how old he is. When his answer was “Hundred and fifty, and still young, dude. Rock on.”, some people might have laughed and did not think much about it and the ones who are insightful about sea life may have said that the writers actually confused the sea turtles with tortoises. If people actually research about sea turtles, they will find that sea turtles…

Please Take Heed”, yet still astonish and charm viewers. The piece “Perfection as a Hipster” is merely played in the background between Eve and one of her adventures. But still, the song manages to display the emotion and atmosphere of the scene with the careful lyrics, “Spend every second day just dreaming how the first ought to be. My dream was realized but I was sleeping.” Aside from the lyrics, “Perfection as a Hipster” concisely captures the intense moments with upbeat drum fills and…

Before mid-nineteenth century, the symbol of marriage was associated with obligation and duty due to the fact women could not independently support themselves. But as society…

wrote a free verse poem about his experiences with different type of people that he sees from the city. He goes into detail about his experiences, stating “dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angel headed hipster burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night” (lines 1-2). Which shows the place and time that the poem has taken place which could be assumed during the Jim Crow area hence his use of “negro.” It…

He argues that the style of these different…
