The lead Singer was grew up a Christian and attended church every Sunday, when the lead singer Billy was only 10 years old his father Andy Armstrong died of cancer, as his father lay in his death bed Billy prayed to God begging for him not to take his father away from him (as they were both very close with each other) but God knew it was his father’s time to join him in Heaven. When he accepted the fact that his father died he blamed it on God and strayed away from him for a while but then as he grew older he realized it was not Gods fault it was just his father’s time.
Faith in Action When Billy turned 16 he got involved with alcohol and drugs, he did not complete high school and dropped out senior year. Mike Dirnt is the bassist for Green Day and had been friends with Billy since childhood, they used to be called Sweet Children until their drummer quit on them, and that is when they met Tre Cool the current drummer for Green day and changed their name to Green Day.

    Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Analysis

    Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee a historical movie that centers upon two Native American’s of the Sioux paints a picture of the tragedy of the Native American experience during the 19th century. The movie centers upon Sitting Bull a Native American chief and Charles Eastman a Native American whose education occurred outside the villages of his people. Splitting its narrative between the two characters, the movie coincides with one of the tragic incidents in the Native American history when the Sioux Indian tribe first succeeds at the Battle of Little Big Horn and later is slowly devastated by American Governments violation of signed treaties, and subsequent movement to reservations culminating in the massacre at Wounded Knee Creek. The movie’s concluding scene with the massacre of Wounded Knee Creek led to a negative trajectory that would impact the native population for generations.…

    Billie Holiday Report

    Growing up in a one parent household, Holiday didn’t have many options to choose from especially with the path she took at a young age. Desperate for the mighty dollar, the errands Billie was running for the brothel turned into running the streets of Harlem. She had convicted for prostitution but was then released back to her mother. Trying to escape the streets, Holiday searched for a job as a dancer at a Harlem speakeasy. She auditioned as a singer with her long interest in both jazz & blues. Holiday wowed the owners and found herself singing at the popular Pod & Jerry’s log cabin. Her performances were so beloved to where only about the age of 19, she got her name out and was discovered by the producer & talent scout John Hammond. Hammond quickly arranged three recording sessions for Billie and found an engagement for her in New York clubs. “I hate straight singing. I have to change a tune to my own way of doing it, that’s all I know.”…

    Passing-Death of Clare

    The death of Clare at the end of Nella Larsen’s Passing though left unclear was, in my opinion, caused by Irene pushing her out of the window. Nella Larsen does not specify what exactly happened, but Irene pushing Clare out of the window seems like the most plausible one. I don’t know whether Larsen intentionally left the ending so abruptly but I just feel as if Irene was the one to kill Clare. Larsen makes this point clear through the phrasing she uses when describing the self-esteem destruction Irene undergoes once Clare has reinserted herself into Irene's life, and the situations Irene finds herself as a direct result of Clare.…

    Thoughts on Armstrong

    While reading Karen Armstrong’s essay depicting her opinion of religion, I found myself agreeing with her more than I usually do any other written art. The facts were brilliantly organized and centered around one main focus: the need for one to be “right” above another. As a member of a strong Southern Baptist congregation, I’ve found myself questioning the ideas that have been preached to me my entire life. These questions aren’t to discount or disprove God, but rather to question the “second to none” mentality that the Almighty Entity possesses. Again, this is not to forsake the man above. I live in a world that has spawned numerous religious philosophies around the world. Armstrong was correct in pointing out the need for each individual belief to be a singularity of the utmost exactness, and all else is to be considered “foreign” or “ungodly”. I gained unbiased proof through Armstrong’s research dating back to the 5th Century CE. Armstrong explains how the Golden Rule, or the ability to do unto others as you would have done to you, can play a major rule in lessening the violence and restoring acceptance throughout the world. In a sense it is a bit scary to think that thousands of years ago there was a practice such as “jian ai”; the concern for everybody; and over the years we have since lost all reasoning of compassion and acceptance of things that are not alike ourselves. When I picture the end of the world, I’ve always depicted it being a religious war or at the very least beginning as one. Armstrong was dead on with her closing argument: the cultivation of jian ai along with the implementation of the Golden Rule, would be viable in the realization that every nation is as important as ours and ultimately aid in the restoration of harmony throughout the world.…

Although, his parents had an interest mainly in classical music, at the age of sixteen in 1935, Pete managed to discover that his true passion was for folk music or as he described “old fashioned five string banjo, rippling out a rhythm to one fascinating song after another” .

    Personal Narrative Essay: Rock Church's Death

    I was young then but the memory is fresh in my mind and in the same year a boy whose home was near our school committed suicide by overdose and there was a lot of speculation that it could be due to low self esteem. This guy was very fat and not so good looking and others used to ridicule him but I know we are all made in the image of God and I think either his pals ridiculed him or something like that. Long ago people who killed others according to our custom were thrown in very steep rocks left to die and the hyenas feasted on them. There was no burial ceremony conducted for evil people as they were an abomination.…

    Faith Wilson 20th Century

    The computer is a 20th century life saver and still is. This innovation changed the lives of people, businesses, and industries throughout the world. Computers have given us easy access to information and knowledge, and they have made countless jobs much faster and easier. The computer in its earliest form was not much more than a calculator, solving one problem at a time and answer every question in a click of a button. As the computer was improved various tasks could be performed and more data and information could be stored into the memory banks. Today's software makes computer use easy. Information can be shared and we can learn from each other in a quick, easy, and affordable manner. This would not be possible without electricity because it powers everything. You could not use the computer without electricity, work at night, heat your homes, couldn’t drive due to accidents without lights, and cannot use air condition. Without electricity it is almost impossible to live our daily lives. Now, we can work longer hours because we can see at night, use computers, watch TV, reduce accidents, and much more. The 20th century creations have really improved our lives and continues to help us achieve our goals and resources.. Things have changed so much that we can even repair these innovations if they were even to have problems, in the past the computer would have to be replaced and when power goes out they can be worked on. Computers and electricity were just many of the 20th century innovations, but in my opinion were the most effective and important.…
