a drug test deceiving the testers. While Tom cheats on his wife with Myrtle and lies about it to his wife. That is why I chose Mike Tyson to represent Tom. I chose the song “The Day That Never Comes” by Metallica to also represent Tom. The lyrics describe Tom very well. For example when Metallica sings, “He hits the flesh/ You hit the ground”, it represents Tom’s aggression towards other people such as Myrtle. When they sing, “Mouth so full of lies”, it shows Tom keeping his affair with Myrtle a…
When I was just a toddler, I would try to climb in the dishwasher and take everything out while mom was trying to do the dishes. In order to keep me from doing that, dad needed to play video games as long as they entranced me. One of the games he played was The Legend of Zelda. Growing up with this game and spending time with my dad while he played it fueled the love I developed for this game and it’s music. The first four songs on the soundtrack of my life, composed by Koji Kondo, are songs…
Piracy Piracy is defined as the copying and distributing of copies of a piece of music for which the composer, recording artist, or copyright-holding record company did not give consent. (Neuwirth, 2014) It is difficult to know exactly when and where the first instances of piracy occurred but there is evidence to show that composers as old as Beethoven where affected. “Both he (Beethoven) and his publisher had to contend with piracy by rival publishers who brought out editions of their own.”…
book with a beginning, middle and an end. Metallica 's song "One" is a great example of this musical structure. Based on the book "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo, the song 's context is referring to an incapacitated soldier who is searching for death after losing all hope in living. The details of helplessness explain in the lyrics such as, "Darkness/Imprisoning me/All that I see/Absolute horror/I cannot live/I cannot die/Trapped in myself" (Metallica). Indirectly, I can identify with the…
Imagine waking up in the morning, showering and going back to sleep. Then warming up a couple of slices of pizza for breakfast 5 minutes later. That is my morning routine for every day since I was 12 and has now become a part of who I am and a part of my culture. This is just one example of how my cultural identity is different from my cultural heritage. One big part of my cultural identity is that being African American, I sometimes fit my cultural heritage and I sometimes don't fit my…
What does our past contain? It has an experience, a memory, and we're all given just one. It's breathtaking, unique, and customized to be personal to everyone. No two are the same, and more than often, are vastly different. But no matter how diverse we are, we dedicate four years of our life here together as students.

“If Everyone Cared” – Nickelback It was a very difficult choice in terms of deciding between “If Everyone Cared” by Nickelback or “One” by Metallica regarding the subject matter of human rights in popular culture. However, I decided to choose “If Everyone Cared” for several reasons. First, when listening to this song, it is also very political in its nature. Second, it is very strong in the sense of karma being in the field of human rights. Lastly, it unveils the hidden works of morality in…
