Rock’s first mixed gender and race band: Sly And The Family Stone. Known largely for their sound in the late sixties with as much mixture in their sound as in their band, playing a fusion of soul, rhythm and blues, funk, psychedelia, gospel, and all around high energy music. The band formed in 1967 and had a major hit on Pop and R&B charts in 1968 “Dance To The Music”, but got a much greater fan base after their amazing performance at Woodstock. They played at 3:30 am Sunday morning August 17,…

Revolutionary Women Summary Generally, when we read about the American Revolution we hear about all the heroic deeds of men like George Washington or Paul Revere. What we don’t often hear about is the many heroic deeds women performed as well. I read the book Women Heroes of the American Revolution, by Susan Casey which told the story of 20 different women. There were lots of women involved in the revolution, whether they quietly resisted the British, spied on them for American militia, or…

The day the figurehead of the Beatles and lead singer John Lennon died, it seems as if a simple killing united the world as one on one devastating day. John was killed on December 8th 1980 by Mark David Chapman outside of his New York Apartment, forever moving the image of the music industry. I believe that John Lennon’s assassination was an unjust act of obsession that ultimately ended the life of one of the most influential people in all of music; however is success lacked due to his chronic…

Yeats’s poem ‘’Leda and the Swan’’ and Dorothy Hewitt’s ‘’Grave Fairytale’’ have content that is both mythological and violently sexual. In Yeats’ poem the speaker retells a story from Greek mythology. It is that of the rape of Leda by Zeus. In Hewitt’s poem, the speaker creates a new version of Rapunzel’s fairytale. This essay will discuss the relationship between mythology/ folklore, violence and sex through the analysis of both poems. In Yeats’ poem, the speaker resents the rape scene,…

The Destructiveness of Jealousy and Greediness What made Othello, written by William Shakespeare in the 17th century, popular is that the play dealt with sensible topics as racism and race. The protagonist of the play is a dark skinned foreigner, surrounded by white characters. Othello’s race makes him sensible for criticism of the people around him, because he knows that he will always be the weaker ‘species’. But what is shown in this play is that it is not his race that will be his downfall.…

He did this after having a fight with his Paul Gauguin, with whom he lived with and had a seemingly turbulent relationship. Van Gogh seems to have idealized a life in which he and Gauguin lived and created together at the home van Gogh spent months preparing for Gauguin, known as the Yellow House…

that in my opinion wasn’t even served. First off, just because the Scarborough rapes had stopped, they felt that there was no need to put Paul Bernardo’s DNA samples as high priority, and as a result pushed them to the back of the line and had to wait three years to hear an answer that many detectives had thought they knew anyways. What also upset me is that Paul Bernardo had the audacity to ask if he was able to have day parole. To even think that he feels he has a right to be in society is…

was riding in, was no surprise. As a result, the driver of the Mercedes placed his foot on the gas in hopes of losing the stream of paparazzi. This is a popular belief that the events of the fatal crash were purely an accident. If the driver, Henri Paul, was simply trying to speed away from the press, then losing control of the car going at such a high speed can believably be apologized…
