through the sky looking for their morning meal. As

In life we all struggle and search for happiness
and love. We are in a constant pursuit to find and
hold onto the things that we hold dear to
ourselves. This is much like the book The Odyssey.
Odysseus was on a search to find his way back to
the things that brought him peace and happiness.
The book was very much like our own lives and
though this supposedly happened hundreds of years
ago, this is the same journey we live through.

Back And Forth Michael Jackson

As the performer enters the stage with his bright,
silk glove that covers the contour of his small,
petite hand, he grips the microphone and starts to
sing the hit songs that makes him famous. His high
soprano voice shrieks through the heads of some,
but for many, his music gleams. As he is singing,
his explosive rhythm and wild footwork across the
stage tantalizes the audience. His unique, queer
style separates him from everyone else. This breed
of singer draws fans from Miami Florida, to the

Reflect Its Own Slow Effacement Reflect Its Own Slow Prufrock

, talking of Michelangelo, a subject so deep that
it begs a discussion more serious than that of the
chatter at ladies' tea parties. But the women just
come and go, discussing the great artist only
superficially, and Prufrock addresses the ladies
with an air almost of biting sarcasm. Prufrock
then decides to switch back to this other, more
beautiful world, and he describes the fog rubbing
up against the windowpanes. He describes the fog
almost as if it were an animal; personifying it

White Woman Black Man

Madonna first arrived in the national popular
culture in 1984 with her song "Borderline." She
moved very quickly in the ensuing years to make
several records (many of which have gone
multi-platinum) and to take several world tours
with sold-out concerts, and has caused quite a bit
of controversy in what she has done in the public
eye. Examples include posing nude for Penthouse

familiar to me as a child. With her long flowing

Political Correctness Politically Correct
654 words
Report: Politically correct is such an innocent
term. How can anyone be against something so
friendly, something that is supposed to encourage
harmony and peace between all people? My answer is
Ha! Although I do agree that kindness, respect,
and courtesy in our everyday life are to be
promoted, it seems to me that they lose much of
their meaning if they are oppressively forced upon
us by political correctness. That is why there are
no examples in modern times that are quite so
hopeless to me as ...

White Light Long Run
1,029 words
The song I chose for analysis is Stairway to
Heaven by Led Zeppelin. I have looked over the
lyrics of the songs and come to the conclusion
that the song is about the Apocalypse. It is about
how people would react if they knew that the world
was about to end. I have broken down the meanings
in almost every verse, which I will show later on
in this assignment. The mood of the song is slow
and depressing during the time in which they are
waiting for the end to come. By the end of the
song it gets f...
