My music piece‚ titled ‘Give me Liberty or Give me Death’‚ is a representation of not only the beautiful‚ endless possibilities in the American future‚ but the darker‚ more sinister face of the time. For literature I chose Edgar Allen Poe. His writing was not only captivating‚ but was darker than some may find comfortable. It demonstrates the far more wicked side of the Romanticism Period‚ and it makes quite a few appearances in my piece. For art‚ I chose Hudson River school. The works of the

As she climbs the rocks on the beach‚ the transition of the wild to the table means a transition in our own life: when we stop being

With the launch of the British rock band Queen’s 1975 album‚ A Night at the Opera‚ came the six-minute single "Bohemian Rhapsody". This mishmash of a song combines a cappella (without instruments) opera and heavy metal and a great range of emotional lyrics to create a unique and harmonic work of art. It was a huge commercial success‚ not only in the United Kingdom where it was released‚ but all over the world. In fact‚ in a recent international poll of the world’s favorite songs‚ it came in 10th

A geopolitical community is a community‚ which is either man-made or surrounded by natural boundaries. It is considered a traditional point of view about communities. Man-made boundaries could be the towns where we live‚ work‚ or go to school. Natural boundaries could be the land formations that separate and isolate groups of people (Maurer & Smith 2008). The geopolitical community I live in is Nassau County‚ Long Island in New York. Nassau County is made up of many suburbs and towns and is located

The Killers I watched The Killers in San Diego‚ California. Event was the Wrex the hall 2012 on December 7th. It was my first rock concert I had been too.

Not so much dancing but a lot more singing along with Brandon Flowers with some jumping up and
