Salute

The first selection of the evening was Band of Brothers by Micheal Kamen. This song has an intense melody with rhythmic harmony throughout the performance. The song has a very uplifting tempo that drove it along. Near the end of the song, the tempo slows down and then picks back up to create a grand finale. The triumphant sound created by the percussions was very influential to me, and made me think of unity. As the different instruments meshed together to create a beautiful sound this caused me…

compared because each culture has its own internal rules that must be accepted. Everyone sees other cultures differently and should avoid passing on judgements about other cultures. For example, Katniss Everdeen and her District 12 use the three-finger salute for love, loyalty respect and a sincere goodbye to someone that has passed away, whereas the other districts do not believe in this concept considering they have a different culture and different ways of showing respect…

As a Marine, the civilian world sees us as an immaculate figure to the United States. In a way giving us the respect and honor we so proudly earn. Inside the Marine Corps we learn to honor these values and morals we received since boot camp. It molds us to become disciplined and show this figure to others. If we loose focus as a Marine we sadly decline that and become to be a lesser than normal civilian. The discipline and the honor fades immediately. One example of this is disrespecting…

John Lewis justifies about how many of the politicians during the time would get power but will abuse it so much towards other political parties. And these people cause problems instead of making the problems easier to solve within each other. For instance, in the text, Lewis states, “ Let us not forget that we are involved in a serious social revolution” (para 5). Basically, Lewis is saying that they are in a revolution in which nobody cares about. And that many governments or legislators…

Kamryn got out near the gate, dragged the unconscious prisoner with her, propped him on a bench. She waved a salute as they drove away. Axel checked his tablet for Rayburn’s map of bars. He navigated while Mark drove, keeping watch for any sign of military barricades. Ten minutes of driving on deserted streets put them in the alley behind the bar. They entered through the back door, blending in with a hodgepodge of miscreants, who’d sought safety away from the prying eyes of the MMC. The…

Toni Smith’s article “A leader is more than a messenger” makes me wonder many things. Why is it that big of a deal to salute our flag if it is the country you are in? Why is she against it? Is she just trying to make a point that everyone can have their own opinion? I was a little irritated that throughout her article she never once explained as to why she turned away from the flag. What is her reasoning? Does she have a strong opinion or is she just doing it for attention and the shock value.…
