Star Spangled Banner Jimi Hendrix
1,204 wordsThe best guitarist, who is it? This is an argument that has been amongst many musicians for many years. But who is the hands down best guitarist? From my viewpoint the answer is obvious. Joe Satriani without a doubt is the best guitarist alive today and perhaps the best guitarist ever. I can already hear the responses from the crowd. What about Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, or perhaps Steve Vai and Eric Johnson? All of these players are good guitarists, but they are no...

George Orwell Main Character
1,027 wordsPower. What encompasses power? Is a malicious Tyrant considered powerful if he has the capacity to oppress a population; or is power merely a term used to describe the physical strength of an individual? Regardless, the process through which power is earned requires confidence to retain morality and strength to forfeit freedom. Authority on the other hand, requires a title (that is bestowed) to provide some sort of recognition, but the possession of authority does not indicate that one has power...

Grapes Of Wrath Ma Joad
490 wordsWould John Steinbeck be proud of the Steppenwolf Theatre Companys productions of the Grapes of Wrath? No. This production of the Grapes of Wrath does the book no justice and lacks a very important theme presented throughout the novel. One theme, which it lacks is -- I to we. This play was very limiting in that it only presented one family's plight and not a panoramic picture. A key example of this would be the absence of the Wilsons. This family was very important, to the theme as well as the ch...
