harmful to another. Just like morals values are what we believe in not solid facts. We can see many examples of this in the Beowulf epic. There are many similarities and differences in Anglo-Saxon values compared to the Western values to hold onto today. Beowulf is a hero. He has a code of honor. In the epic Beowulf is a king and a warrior. He and his men will stand up for their heroic beliefs and honor even if it costs them their lives. If his people live to the same code of honor as…

Autotune has completely taken over the music culture today and I have a problem with that. Over 90% of artists today use or have used autotune in some capacity. Why is it we are taught not to be fake all our lives and then turn around and praise others based on their popularity. I believe that if you need to be fake and use autotune to get where you are in the music world, you don’t deserve to be there. As I stated before close to 90% of artists today use autotune, but is there a limit?…

Jelly Roll Morton grew up in New Orleans and started playing piano at the age of 10. In 1904 he began traveling, playing the…

In the end the Puritans won the fight so they decided to all settle in America. “Since God was at the forefront of…

“What did you learn today?” Coming home from my first day of preschool, I recall my parents asking me that renowned question. I cannot, however, recall what I said to them or anything I learned that day. More than eleven years later, I could organize a list to explain each subject, every topic we covered that day, and all of the information that I memorized, but this ordinary explanation would not include everything that I learned. Having a standard public school education, I look back on…

The comparison of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ and the world today reveals that teen suicide is caused by feelings of loneliness from family dynamics. Teen suicide has become a growing problem in today’s society. Studies by psychologists have shown that 60% of high school students have considered suicide at some point.

The child version of me would probably never have thought I would be where I am today. I was painfully shy as a kid, and would have never thought I would be the leader I am today. Surprisingly, I hold some sort of leadership position in all the things I am involved in. I’m involved in band, Renaissance Club, and Art Club. I never thought I would be the center snare and section leader on my drumline, but what it came down to was the other people on drumline believed I was the best fit…
