Arts can be separated into different branches and Hap in the story prefers realistic art. Hap in “The Soul of Capitalism” by Robert Collins would likely appreciate Warhol’s art mentioned in “When Canada Met Andy” by Nancy Tousley on a superficial level, but not the abstract message. Hap would praise some of Warhol’s art because his work matches Hap’s definition of art. Hap loves traditional art but not modern or abstract art as he claims that “it’s not art if he can’t tell what it is” (1),…
The song that I have decided to analyze is Formation, by Beyonce. Beyonce is a worldwide sensation in the pop music industry as well as in feminist culture. Beyonce originally started out in a singing group called Destiny’s Child, where she first became well known; once the group split, Beyonce started her own musical career and has not looked back since. In 2008, eleven years after dating, Beyonce and rapper and music producer Jay-Z married. Three years later, Beyonce became pregnant with…

The following statements will describe why I do not think that Justin would be a great hero, even a good citizen for that matter. He is a cocky young man, as he grows older, his morals seem to spiral down the drain. The final reason is, he has an absolute horrendous temper problem…
I twirled the loose hair that casted across her face. She smiled — a smile that had always made me fall on my knees for her. But tonight, that same smile that she gave to me every night, became just another smile. “Sweetheart, the night must come to an end,” I said, as I stood from my seat. “Won’t you invite me to dance?” She said as she looked at me with her radiant ocean- blue eyes. “Not tonight, not anymore.” I said as I walked away from the beautiful blue-eyed woman. I walked away from…
On the other hand, one of the blog manager named Roboseyo, argue that Korean stars are trying to act the way American popstars act and it will fall into the ‘almost there, but not quite’ zone, and people who are willing to take K-pop, its awkward English its cute or sweet stylings, and its boys wearing eye makeup on its own terms (Roboseyo: Kpop Can't Take Over America.

She has self proclaimed that she isn’t ridiculously talented, states she isn’t drop-dead gorgeous, and it is clear that she isn’t at all wholly likeable. These days, we are so used to packaged, manufactured and flawless ‘Barbie doll’ singers with tremendous, infallible personalities and charm, and subsequently this is perhaps why Lily Allen is so intriguing; she is the anti-pop star. Back in 2009, Allen infamously ‘retired’ from the…

The wolf takes a single step back and then lunges forward at your right side. Your body flinches out of the way without you even having to think about it. The wolf assumes its…
Chapter sixteen ***Carson 's P.O.V*** "Oliver, wanna come with me to grab something from my locker?" I asked him, before gym. He nodded, smiling.
