I chose to review Hotel California by the Eagles because they are very sentimental to me because I grew up listening to them while riding shotgun in my dad’s truck. This album was released in December of 1976 by Asylum and became one of the Eagles best selling studio albums of all time. In the early part of their career, The Eagles struggled to get a big rock sound. Hotel California unveiled almost a whole new band in terms of sound and energy. This album was very transitory for the band…

Owls, hawks, and eagles are types of raptors, animals which have hooked beaks and sharp claws, and are therefore adapted for seizing prey animals.

it. I walked into the classroom expecting thing to be no different than they had been the past days. I sat in my seat and patiently waited for Taylor to arrive so that I could tell her about my plans for the weekend. Still waiting and she never showed up. I began to feel and very empty feeling in my stomach like I just had been punched. Taylor wasn’t coming to school and I didn’t know how I was going to get through the day without her. The day couldn’t of went any slower I didn’t think it was…
