Aerosmith “Life is a journey, not a destination” said the band Aerosmith. Aerosmith had their share of ups and downs throughout their journey. From drug addiction to alcohol abuse to personal problems, they have been through it all. Aerosmith was a different type of rock and roll band because they brought blues music into rock, they won four Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Boston Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, making them one of the best rock bands of their era. Aerosmith’s
Aerosmith: Toys in the Attic Aerosmith struggled with their first two albums, but climbed their way to the top with their third album, Toys in the Attic. The iconic album established a unique rock sound for this group and was released in 1975. The group of five made their come up by advancing the emotions and sounds brought to life by their music. Toys in the Attic was the first album that Aerosmith had to start writing from scratch which makes the album more real for their listeners. Aerosmith’s
In 1975, Aerosmith produced a timeless rock classic known as, “Walk This Way” that became an instant hit and an essential in any rock fan’s collection. In 1986, Run-DMC recorded an updated hip-hop version of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” featuring Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. By producing this crossing over Run-DMC broke down cultural and musical barriers between the hip-hop world with the rock realm and has since become immortalized for their success and revolutionary concept. Since Aerosmith’s “Walk
In The Great Gatsby, Tom Buchanan is cheating on his wife, Daisy with his mistress Myrtle. In the relationship, Myrtle is using her sexuality to attract Tom and he abuses her by breaking her nose. A reader with a Marxist perspective and a feminist perspective may interpret this relationship differently. A Marxist perspective focuses on the struggle between the lower and upper class and the issues of power and money in literature. Readers with a Marxist perspective would look for the oppression of
Having never taken a college writing course before, I did not know what to expect and therefore assumed that I would choose my own topic to write about; of course, this isn’t the case. However, if I had the choice, I would not have chosen to write a response to Gerald Graff’s “Hidden Intellectualism”. After going through his essay with a fine-tooth comb, I have found a few flaws in his reasoning. Gerald Graff believes that schools and colleges are not taking advantage of “street smarts” by not using
In Albert Camus’ novel The Stranger, readers follow the story of Mersault, a young man living in Algiers who is dealing with his mother’s death. Right away readers can look at Mersault and see his careless and unemotional life. He clearly does not care for what people think about him, and he would never lie about himself to be recognized. He does not accept the society’s idea of happiness by the way he deals with the moments in his life. He does not believe in life after death and has no religion
Many times throughout a person’s life, we are asked many times who we are. We are asked, what characteristic makes us who we are. The truth is, all of the answers that we come up with can be surmised into one word; culture. Culture effects almost every aspect of our lives; from the way we celebrate certain holidays, to the way we talk and act. Just like how every person has a unique set of fingerprints, everyone has a culture that describes only themselves. In this way, my cultural identity is also
In Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral,” we are introduced to a narrator who tries to make it very clear to the reader that because he can physically see, he is better than the blind man, Robert. However, as we continue through the narrator’s interactions with Robert, it is shown that the narrator is actually quite blind to the world until Robert shows him otherwise. That is to say, the narrator can physically look at things around him, but lacks the kind of seeing that entails looking at things on a deeper
The novel Beatrice and Virgil is full of many representations and symbolisms. These devices all work together to produce a story that is quite rich and profound and represents the “Holocaust as allegory.” One theme that is used throughout the novel through the use of these devices is that of violence. Violence accompanies many of the ideas that the book represents. The real nature and essence of evil is explored intently to find the source of violence and how best to overcome it. Violence is an essential
The boys that crash landed on the desolate island in “The Lord of the Flies” were very unique. Yes, they all had their similarities, but most of them had very contrasting appeals and ideas. For example, Jack and Ralph were very opposed to each other. Jack wanted to do nothing but hunt and have a blast. Ralph took a more sensible approach and stuck with the basics. He made sure they had shelter and a decent amount of fruit. He also felt a need to keep a signal fire going in hopes of rescue. His advisor
The Kingston Trio began in Palo Alto with three friends, Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds, and Dave Guard (who were more or less self-taught in their music), in 1957. The three were very popular at parties with their music and when they got booked at the Purple Onion their career truly blossomed. After an entire week of sold-out performances, the Purple Onion was the sight of their headline gigs for the summer of 1957. Following this, a seven year contract with Capitol Records was at the door. With the contract
Yesterday morning I woke up in a great mood! I went into town today with Abigail and it was so fun! After I had finished my breakfast of milk and a fresh loaf of bread, I knew we’d be out for most of the day, so I got most of my chores done in the morning. First, I washed the breakfast dishes. After I had finished that I tidied up the kitchen, living room, and dining room. The floors needed to be swept and the furniture needed dusting. When all of my chores were done, I got my satchel and waited
Experimentally Falling in Love “Most of us think about love as something that happens to us. We fall. We get crushed,” that is the thinking of Mandy Len Catron in her article, “To Fall in Love With Anyone Do This.” Catron is a very unique writer, being that she gets her point across in a very clear way. In the beginning of the essay she talks about an article she once read, “36 Questions That Lead to Love;” the article is written by psychologist, Arthur Aron, that tries to figure out if love can
Uncle Robby was a very spirited man; my mother hated when I said that because it made him sound unprofessional. But he was a very spirited man he’d tell me all about his adventures in Norway, Sweden and Netherlands. He was an inspirational man and had great character. Today is his funeral; a fire had started in his home and he wouldn’t leave the house without grabbing his VHS collection of Home Alone 1 and 2 and his lucky beer pong socks he’d wear when we’d have a one on one heated match of beer
Daniel Wallace’s essay “Killings,” which was recently featured in The Bitter Southerner, is a very honest explanation as to how the author ended up killing a chicken. The essay features a section in which the Wallace discusses “the early years” of his experiences with death, and the childhood he describes is one that is very stereotypically Southern. Playing outside and messing with bugs are much more common in the South than in the North, so this essay embodies Eudora Welty’s idea that the location

My Dad is a Liar Marketers have the job of creating new and interesting ways to compel and sway the public to a certain product, or train of thought. One of the most practical ways to do this is through advertising. Marketers can hit a plethora of appeals through music, images, and background to create whatever effect they want to achieve. Commercials and other advertisements can be taken in many different ways, but will always have a central goal and point trying to be made all the way across it’s
Oprah loves bread. This was a message Dipper, along with millions of Americans, had hammered into their skull every time that dumb commercial beamed onto their television. Whoever was in charge of managing advertising on Gravity Falls public broadcasting was obsessed with that commercial, making sure it played during every ad break on Ducktective. "This is the joy for me!" Oprah exclaimed for about the thirty-sixth time Dipper had heard today. "I. Love. Bread. I love bread." Everything about this
