    “Revolution”, the single version, was recorded in the studio in July 1968. Originally, The Beatles recorded “Revolution” as a combination of “Revolution 1” and “Revolution 9”, written by John Lennon, for the White Album that was released later that year. Eventually, “Revolution 1” and “Revolution 9” were split into two tracks. “Revolution 1” was suppose to be the next single from the group. However, McCartney and Harrison had objections to the track for it’s tempo was too slow to be a single. After some objection from Lennon, they re-recorded the track at a moderate tempo and with heavily distorted electric guitars. The song became a raw, raucous, and feverous rock single. This outspoken and feverish single stands as one of Lennon’s first…

    They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act of their era. The group’s line-up included John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. In February 1963, The Beatles recorded ten songs during a single marathon studio session for their debut LP, Please Please Me. After the moderate success of “Love Me Do”, “Please Please Me” met with a more emphatic reaction. It reached number 1 on every chart in London, except for Record Retailer, where it stalled at number 2. Their commercial success brought increased media exposure, which the Beatles responded with a irrelevant and comical attitude that defied the expectations of pop musicians at the time, inspiring even more interest. As their popularity spread, a frenzied adulation of the group took hold. Greeted with riotous enthusiasm and screaming fans, the press dubbed the phenomenon as…

    Six carts, all filled with prisoners to be executed, rumble along the streets of Paris. The death carts are to be dispatched to La Guillotine. The streets are bundled and clustered with people to see the final Evremonde be put to death. The crowd is brimming with adults, children, elders, but no Madame Defarge. A perfect victorian woman stands lost in the crowd with her beloved father, covered in dismay, too shook to commiserate her. Lucie finds it quite shocking that Madame Defarge is not at the scene, for she provoked her husband’s execution. There she stands with her clear, watery eyes, full of anguish, not ready for what she is about to witness.…

    February 7, 1964. A monumental date in the history of rock music. Why, you ask? Well, it was on this date that a band out of Liverpool, England came to the United States. This band was The Beatles, one of the most popular rock and roll sensations in history. The Beatles created a frenzy in the U.S. as they became a model for rock and roll. It was during this time period that the British seemed to claim rock music. However, from the music of the Beatles emerged a new type of rock music, which became known as folk rock. This type of music, also popularized by singers like Bob Dylan, put an emphasis on lyrics. The Beatles demonstrated this style as their music became more sophisticated, and their lyrics focused more on issues of the day.…

    In the pastoral elegy, Lycidas by John Milton, the author uses plants and flowers to set the mood of the story and express his sorrows for his lost friend Edward King. The quote, “Live your life to the fullest because you never know if your going to wake up the next morning” describes Milton’s idea that anything could happen at a given instant and nothing is certain. Milton is grieving over his lost friend and uses plants and flowers to represent the mood he is feeling. Edward King’s death has many similarities with plants, since he died prematurely at a young age. Milton uses imagery to let his readers picture the setting as he talks about the death of Edward King.…
