Whenever I needed him, he would be there, and we went through many adventures together. Every time the song plays, whether it be radio or iPod, he always reappears in my head and I wonder how he is continuing within his life. He may not be in a better place as the song says, but I cannot wait to see him again because “family’s all that we got” (“Wiz Khalifa”). “Carry On Wayward Son” has become the theme song to the popular TV show Supernatural that my sister, Lisa Bell, and I share in interest. Produced by Kansas, this song speaks of the hardships one man (guitarist, Kerry Livgren) lives through and questions but is ushered on by the father (God) to carry on.

    Americans had to deal with and because of these and future events that were to happen, Americans would vote for a candidate they felt knew could take care of the country during times of chaos and crisis but also show strength on a global stage. John Kerry’s campaign ad has a pathos and ethos appeal that was strong enough to compel voters enough to switch their vote from Bush to Kerry. In the ad, John Kerry states that America should be “stronger at home, respected in the world” and goes on to…
