“All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men”, (William Penn a preacher, minister, and missionary in the late seventeenth century). In The Absolutely True diary of a Part-Time Indian, Sherman Alexies shows us how alcohol abuse affects Junior's life, how painful it is to deal with the effect, and how it leads to violence and death of the ones he loves. Alcoholism is a disease that affects millions of people and it isn't different for Indians as we see in every other page of this novel. To understand why alcoholism is a disease, it's important to look up it's effects.

For many years authors have brilliantly incorporated the theme of sorrow and disempowerment as a consequence of the actions of others. Authors depict the reality of others doubt in people, even their family members, through their brutal and trust lacking actions. Through the short stories “Boys and Girls” by Alice Munro, “Brother Dear” by Bernice Friensen and “A Cap for Steve” written by Morley Callaghan the aspirations and desires of the main characters are not accepted by their fathers and also rejected by a more powerful authority. Not only are the characters not accepted but also relatives are thought to be more advantageous than then the key characters and although one character does not have a sibling, money overpowered his importance. Lastly, the fathers expectations of two characters does not align with the mothers, yet in one piece of literature the mother expected exactly what the father wished.
Hakeem is faced with another tough situation because he wants to keep his uncle happy but doesn’t want to get onto Savons bad side so he is lost with what to do. Overall I think this theme re occurs in this book many times to make the ending seem a lot greater than it actually is, to an average person they wouldn’t think anything of it. But someone dealing with the struggles that Hakeem has been facing would take it as a blessing. During the book Hakeem plays the guitar and writes music and poetry to vent out all his built up
The young pastor suffers endlessly throughout the book. In contrast to the strong willed Hester, Dimmsdale is seen as quite cowardly. He shies away from the letter. This demonstrates that he doesn’t like to show himself for who he is. Since he is more weak spirited than Hester, as shown in “His spirit lacked the strength that could have borne up, as thine has been, beneath a burden like thy scarlet letter," (ch.14) The letters weight affects him more.

Striving to be the best academically and to be so much like an adult, pressured Gene into thinking he had to be, ”serious sometime, about something.
Punk music not only sounds good but it has a lot to say in its lyrics. The music is mostly anarchy, anti-war, anti-politics, and pro-protest. The band that has the most to say about the current war that I have heard is Anti-Flag. That, for now, is what I know about punk rock.

This one is greatly affected by the media. A majority of musicians have problems with drugs, alcohol, public disorder and infidelity. Most come from broken families with toxic environments. They reflect their emotions in the songs they write which greatly influence listeners. The media likes to capture rock musicians using drugs at wild parties and acting irresponsible to get attention from people and increase magazine sales and ratings.
Bands that play this subgenre focus on precision, speed, and crazier than the next. This love of crazy music has greatly influenced the way I have learned guitar and what I have chosen to play.
