My Chemical Romance is a pop/punk band. It is debated however, what genre of music it truly belongs to. Some people argue it belongs into the "emo" genre, others say "pop". Whatever genre of music it truly belongs to, My Chemical Romance sure has changed the lives of everyone who listens to them. From their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, to their last, May Death Never Stop You, fans all around the world have supported them in their 12 years of music. It all
“Yes girl!” As I we walked towards the kitchen, we passed by Alex who was putting together the babies crib in the living room. Carmon poured me a glass of Chardonnay and replied, “So what’s up? I haven’t talked to you since my baby shower!” I sipped my wine as I expressed, “The day of your baby shower, I got a call from the health department…!” “The health department!” Carmon interrupts me in mid sentence. “Yea anyway, apparently they wanted me to come in and get tested for HIV!” Carmon’s eye grew

She claims to be a human right activist who’s vision is to achieve peace, by accessing quality education for children especially girls.

about 168 hours, which would mark a full week since I left my home and Mother to fight for my country. The year is 1914 and it is the 28th of september it has been about two months since the the Great War started. Back home in Loudon all the old timers think this is the war that will end all wars. Me personally I don't know if it will end any conflict, I do hope it does though. I haven’t even seen any major battles yet but as my battalion and I keep moving to the front lines we see the destruction
I have conflicting thought regarding Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road. My initial thoughts of the novel were that it was solely built on the complete devastation of two characters lives and the surrounding landscape and their constant search for survival. However after giving it further insight I discovered the underlying messages of the importance of good and bad people in my life, the beauty of the little things in life and constant greed showed by desperate individuals. I believe the novels successes
its breath, as all was slowed. I looked over at Jordan in the hope she would say something but to no avail. “Well, Old Sport, perhaps it would be best we all go home.” I nodded and stood up from my spot to give Jordan a farewell. Moments before I could leave, Tom and Daisy drove up in a flurry of anger. Daisy, however, held fear and discomfort in her eyes. “You caused all this, Gatsby. You caused all this rioting and raving. She loves me and there is nothing more you can do.” He was raging and his
April 25th, 1915 Dearest Mother, Please do not be alarmed to hear that I have joined the War over in Gallipoli. I have left all my jobs as Clerks, watchmaker and jeweller to come join the War. I enlisted on the 21st of August 1914 as a 3rdAustralian field ambulance, and soon departed Australia on the 20th of October 1914, onboard the HMAT Medic 7, along with many other South Australians. The journey was rough, but we made it. We were the first boat to land on the shores at Gallipoli on the 25th
documentary. The animation brought out a number of issues that set people thinking. Issues on race, fear and violence are also discussed in the documentary (as well as the interview of Oprah Winfrey and Michael Moore.)It is shocking to realize how people have got involved in the culture of fear, and violence. The discrimination of the blacks in America is also discussed in the film. Having watched this documentary, I was totally appalled. Thoughts went through my head, and questions were left
fall into a grey mush. I lifted the blunt to my lips to take another breath of ‘fresh air’, it was almost as if the smoke raced through my lungs pulling as much of the dark matter out of me as it could- for the time being. Voices creeped through the smoke, under the threshold, to my ear which brought mixed emotions.I could hear my brother Ethan laugh at a joke my best friend Mason made. “Where is blake?” Ethan’s laugh faded into seriousness. Mason didn’t think as much of my absence, “He’s in his
it becomes almost ironic. Miller portrays that illogical reasoning or thinking is dangerous. He explored the characters and motives of the two main women, Abigail Williams and Elizabeth Proctor, paralleling the message of the story as a whole. And I began to realize that
feelings of love and sympathy. Pechorin feels a "desperate pang of sadness" (105) when he remembers Vera, the woman he once loved and feels understood by. "A long forgotten thrill passed through my body at the sound of that (Vera's) sweet voice. Her deep tranquil eyes look straight into mine" (110) Pechorin writes, describing their reunion. When they part, Pechorin recalls, "I felt a pang in my heart as I did our first parting. How I rejoiced to feel it. Was it youth coming back to me with all it's
It is more than normal for soldiers of war to feel anxious and depressed after they return from war. I have chosen to look into the themes “ the war never ends for soldiers’’ and ‘’soldiers continue to receive no thanks for their commitment”. This theme is exposed immensely and shows this theme strongly in the texts 21 guns by Green Day, Hero Of War by Rise Against, Siege Of Jadotville by Richie Smith, and Rambo by Ted Kotcheff. At the beginning of the official music video ‘21 Guns’ by green day
The Arrow and The Bullet In the beginning of last year, I discovered that endless thoughts race through my mind without my control which caused me to be nervous all the time. On top of these unnecessary flashbacks, I basically have responsibilities like school and work that I have to balance. I can’t afford to lose focus. Every minute counts. I needed to do something. I needed a distraction, so I did my fair amount of research. I engaged in activities that would somehow ease my spirit, food for the
Books don’t teach you anything and they’re a waste of time. James Baldwin would disagree with these people and say the following words, “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me the most were the very things that connected me with all people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.” James Baldwin is telling society books are important. They help you realize what’s going
up issues dealing with the catcalling and objectifying of women that females face every day out on the streets. She sings of her disapproval of men who call out degrading names to women passing by. “Everytime I hear a brother call a girl a bitch or a ho/ Trying to make a sister feel low/ You know all of that gots to go” (Latifah). She stresses that that type of behavior needs to come to an end; women often already struggle with self-image and random men degrading them does not build up their confidence

shooting stating: ‘I have come here tonight as an American who, like all Americans, kneels to pray with you today, and will stand by you tomorrow.’ In this quote Obama position himself with his people, showing his sympathy and comforts them by saying ‘I will be here for you.’ Obama uses religious references multiple times in his speech, referring to Scripture as source of deliberation. He said, the scripter tells us: ‘There is a river whose streams make glad the city
Typically when you hear about family vacations, you hear stories of laughter and family bonding. However, my experience was not as such. My family vacation was of horror and tragedy. The story begins, in the summer of 2013, when my family, friend, and I decided to go to Sarasota, Florida for a vacation. We had planned on spending five days in Florida and then to take a trip on a cruise for three days. The smell of morning air seemed to carry an aroma of clean linen as the sunrise glinted off of the
A life filled with purpose brings happiness. My definition of happiness is a life that has a drive to succeed and a drive to be happy. This drive or purpose can come from several aspects of one's life, such as careers, hobbies, and relationships. Mandel's Station Eleven portrays this well through the character of Jeevan Chuadhery. Within the first ten pages of the book, Jeevan encounters a life changing moment that reveals what he wants to do in his life. Jeevan also dwells on many memories of him
