It seems fitting that De La Soul would be at an event that promotes innovation and progression. De La Soul are well-known advocates of progressive music. The hip hop trio have…

something, someone else wants. For instance, when I look at Kylie Jenner, yes she has millions of dollars but when I look at everything she has and everything she wears, I look up to her. She is eighteen years old, so just about two years older than I. She is that older figure that I look up to for all the fashion advice. She has her own app which could symbolize the conch in a way. Whenever I get that notification I go right to the app and see what new stuff she has posted and take away so…

emphasizing its value in the small society. Everyone agreed on the rules and followed them, and for a while, the boys werecivil and respectful of each other. Everyone had the same goal of eventually being rescued. However, the power of the conch, like many tools of power, started to diminish. Rules only work when everyone mutually agrees on them. Jack split off and formed his own colony on the island, and conflict is plentiful. Ralph started to lose members of his camp every day. This was an…

It starts off with Piggy brainstorming and coming up with this idea; “We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when they hear us—” He beamed at Ralph. “That was what you meant, didn’t you? That’s why you got the conch out of the water?” After the discovery of the shell Piggy shares his intelligence with Ralph when he suggests to use the conch shell to call all the boys from around the island together. Then Ralph asks Piggy how to use the conch shell to call the others on…

I wasn’t happy with that suggestion since I really wanted to go on the blow up slide, but I had not wish to be rude, so I reluctantly replied with “ok.” As we went around the festival all I could think about the blow up slide, sure the other rides were fun, but I was convinced that the slide will be so much better. The closer and closer we got to the slide, the harder and harder it became to hold in my excitement, which caused me to start to bounce around. Matt just kept laughing at me making me…

A boat came around and had a big spotlight on him then sooner than he could say hey, they had him in the boat. After that they asked him all types of questions and then they said when we are done with getting other people out of the water we will head back. But they could never get everyone because most of the people died on the blow of the explosion, and other people got hit by falling debris and so many different thing’s took people's lives. It pissed Alick off that he was unable to do…

For example, at the start of the novel Ellie, Corrie and Kevin have been spotted by some soldiers and are being shot at, they run away and hide but soldiers follow them to where they are hiding. Ellie thinks of a plan that could risk lives which was to blow up a ride-on mower. They went with the plan and blew it up and killed three soldiers when it blew up. Even though ‘[Ellie’s] brain was operating like [her] lungs, in great gasping bursts’, Ellie manages to think of a successful plan.…

Then I dipped it in the water. The next time we came the mine I tried the chisel for a while, however heat treating also makes the metal more brittle and after only an hour or so it shattered. Then I remembered that my blow torch was in the car, the melting temperature of copper was 1,984 F, and my blow torch could reach that temperature. I ran outside grabbed my blow torch and held the flame up to one of the chucks holding it the wall. Twenty minutes later one of my friends shout “Jon! HEY…

countless references in style, mise-en-scene or even dialogue. Roy Armes notes this constant intertextuality, and how it was in essence, a way for these educated artists to make sense of life, and to trade, through the code of careful references, their opinions and film preferences (French Cinema 175-6). In Breathless, through “the homage to Bogart, the posters of The Harder They Fall , the quotation from The Enforcer when Poiccard knocks out the customer in the toilets, the soundtrack and…

in his era. Kurtis Blow, one of the original hip hop rappers declared basketball to be his favorite sport. Also in 1984, Kurtis Blow’s album released the album Ego Trip and the second song on the album was Basketball. He was the first rapper to sign a major record deal and achieve a gold record.
