Jim Morrison Lead Singer
1,104 words
Poet William Blake once said "If The Doors of
perception were cleansed, everything would appear
to man as it is, infinite" (Gilmore 34). From this
quote arose a band that even over 20 years after
its disbanding still is played and remembered. The
Doors started as a little garage band in
California back in the early sixties. They were
extremely popular due to their lead singer, Jim
Morrison. Morrison himself was a real character.

Special Friendship Kitten House
489 words
I walked home from school, carrying a heavy load
of books on my aching shoulders. Each step I took
was accompanied with a wish that I was already at
home, resting on my cozy bed. I walked on, my eyes
stuck on the burnt black road. As I dragged my
foot along, I could see small pieces of dried tar
rolling on the rough surface. Upon reaching my
doorstep, I heaved a heavy sigh of relieve and
pleasure. At last, I have reached my long waited
destination; home. My red, sticky palm reached out
for the d...

'the Arrival Of The Beebox' Arrival Of The Beebox' Speaker
906 words
In a number of her poems, Sylvia Plath expresses a
concern with the need to be in control. The
speaker is often invested with power and is placed
beside the underlying fear of being over ridden by
the 'other'. In order to maintain an author ative
position, she confronts with the 'enemy' and
ponders on the unknown, leaving readers
inexplicably drawn by the experiences described.
Yet Plath's other preoccupations are contrary to
the investiture of power in the poetic voice,
where the main subject i...

INTRODUTION: Without a good history, no nation can
ever be considered developed. It is the history

Effect Of Music On The Adolescent

According to (Donald F. Roberts et al, 2003), At
the simplest, most global level, people of all
ages listen to music because it provides pleasure;
for adolescence this pleasure can be powerful and
tends to be associated with the most intense
experiences of life. I chose this subject because
it was one which I could relate to and provide a
more in-depth personal input on. Music, in my
opinion, plays a role in every decision a person
makes, and every goal a person has; a persons life

refusing to marry Homer Barron because of the
sense of "noblesse oblige" that her father had
ingrained into her, she had in her life been a
sterling tribute to her father. Thus, both
Faulkner and Tolstoy, though not dwelling on the
point are acknowledging the powerful roles the
parents had in the lives of Ivan and Emily, and
ultimately, their deaths. Moreover, both stories
dwell on the theme of a person's isolation from
society. In A Rose For Em...
