would exemplify the fact that he was not in a
depression or some sort of downward spiral. One of
Picasso's most famous pieces from this time was

I have read Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou. I
enjoyed this poem. I think that it has a positive
message, and people can relate to it. This poem is
really pretty. The rhythm flows beautifully
throughout the entire piece. I think this is a
good poem for people who are not very familiar

Kurt Donald Cobain was born in Aberdeen,
Washington (about 60 miles southwest of Seattle).
He grew up in a mid-class society and was

that became popular prior to and half a decade
later than the release of the movie fit the

bands of the time. The days of disco had long
