His father was a coal and lumber merchant and his mother a church organist. Although he did take lessons for a short time, his teacher grew frustrated with him and his improvisations and refusal to read the music. He learned to play by ear. He was the first great white Jazz cornetist. He was inspired by records of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and by hearing bands on the Mississippi riverboats. His love for music caused him to be sent away to military school in 1921 because his father thought that music was not a real job that would earn him respect and money. The school was close to Chicago which at the time was the center of jazz music. He was kicked out of military school because he often missed curfew due to him being out listening to bands. He joined his first Jazz band the Wolverines in 1923. Over the years he played with many different Jazz and dance bands. He died from Pneumonia complicated by his alcoholism in 1931.…

    Compare And Contrast Samson And Casey

    Samson and Casey were two foolish men who made bad decisions. God gave Samson strength beyond human ability as long as he followed Gods rules, but Samson could not put aside his arrogance and lust in order to keep his gift. So God took his gift away and in the end Samson paid with his life. Casey was talented at baseball but his pride led him to miss a great opportunity which made people revaluate how great he actually was. They were both over confident which lead to their downfall. Solomon warned men about this very sin because he knew what damage it could do. “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) The most disappointing component of both their actions was the fact that they had others depending on them. If their pride had not gotten in the way then they could have accomplished something great. They let people down and by their actions, displayed cowardice.…

    Texas vs Johnson

    The First amendment of the Constitution of America calls for the protection of the United states citizens from the United States congress. It states that congress shall not pass any laws favoring a specific religious belief or stop any particular group from worshiping them. The first amendment also protects the United States citizen by allowing them freedom of speech/press and peaceful assembly or petition of the governments policies.(billofrightsInstitute) In 1984 Ronald Reagan was trying to run for his second term as president, however thousands of people gathered in front of the Dallas city hall to protest Reagan’s policies and in that crowd a protester named Gregory Lee Johnson. Johnson pulled a stunt that ended him up in the Dallas city court house convicting him to desecrating the U.S. flag. The Dallas city court’s decision was tried and took to the supreme court for Johnsons first amendment right being violated. The supreme court actually came to the decision that Johnson was protected by the first amendment. “After this decision by the supreme court, there has been six times the house of representatives have tried to vote a constitutional amendment known as Flag desecration amendment which stated “ congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag”. This amendment has not received the 67 votes it needs to pass but hasn’t been less than 63 voted for all six occasions” (billofrightsInstitute)…

    East Of Eden Literary Analysis

    Everyone feels as though their parents love them better than their brothers or sisters. Sometimes that may not be true and the parent loves both kids equally, but other times it may be true. Parental favoritism does not seem too serious of a topic, but it can have a long term negative effect on the non-favored child. The non-favored child might feel unfairly treated and try to gain attention in other ways that might prove to be dangerous and out of the ordinary. In John Steinbeck’s novel East of Eden, we experience the dynamics of a father-son relationship, especially the father favoring one son over the other, which oftentimes was the case in my household. From the very start of the novel we are introduced to Cyrus,…

    Euthanasia/ Assisted Suicide Debate Essay Example

    Assisted suicide has become a controversial conversation in the United States. Many individuals do not know there is a difference between assisted suicide and euthanasia. The difference is that assisted suicide is when a person helps someone to end their life. Euthanasia is when a person commits the ending of someone’s life. Some people believe that this has become a moral issue. Some believe it to be medical issue; while others believe it to be religious issue and believe it to be murder to help someone end their own life. Personally, I am torn between the two because I believe that killing is immoral but in some cases, assisted suicide may be an alternative to eternal suffering. Physician Assisted Suicide is when a physician supplies information and/or means of committing suicide. This can be a prescription for a lethal dose of sleeping pills or a supply of carbon monoxide gas. These are just some examples of what a physician might give to a patient requesting to be assisted in committing suicide. "…
