    Irving Berlin Research Paper

    Brin’s coming to America has led to one of the most important contributions to the internet, but undoubtedly, this isn't the only aspect of American culture, where we can evidence Russian influx. No greater compliment could be paid to a Russian immigrant, or immigrant, for that matter, than to use Jerome Kern’s words stating that Irving Berlin, the Belarussian composer, had no place in American music, but rather was American music (Johnson 56). Irving Berlin was born in Siberia, Russia, the youngest of eight children, during a time of turbulence within the Soviet world. As if the harsh environment of Siberia were not enough of an unfavorable start for the young Irving, his birth to a Jewish family provided even more challenges. For after the…

    Brief Biography Of Janis Jopin: Personal Narrative

    “Singing, It’s like loving somebody. It’s a supreme emotional and physical experience.” Hi, I’m Janis Joplin and I’m the queen of rock and roll! I was born January 19th, 1943 in Port Arthur, Texas. At the age of 6 I would sing in my church choir. About 8 years later, bullying and being made fun of due to my acne and weight gain really hit me hard. Just wanting to be myself was hard enough. I made a comment about how different skin colors shouldn’t define anyone and got a ton of hatred. My wardrobe contained the total opposite of the popular girls’. Being a rebellious teen was fun. After highschool I decided to go to college but ended up realizing that college wasn’t made for me, so I quit after the first…
