Tupac was the biggest Hip Hop icon of the West Coast, he was shot in 1994 but was not killed he then later came to find out that his so called friends Biggie had knew about the shooting and had something to do with it. This then started the famous battle of the East vs. West in the hip hop society. Tupac then in the years to come would make tons of songs that would diss Biggie and of course Biggie would not just take it so he would try and come back at him. Between the two big icon’s Biggie being the icon for the East and Tupac being the icon of the West, they would start a huge war in the hip hop society and cause a lot of hatred. The East rappers and fans hated the West an the West rappers and fans hated the East.
Mr. Ross’ class made The Wave more powerful because everyone joined it and people thought it was the “right” thing to do. Both stories share a theme topic but have different messages. Fist Stick Knife Gun by Geoffrey Canada and “The Wave” by Morton Rhue both share the theme topic of influence. Teenagers can easily be persuaded into thinking something by the peers around them. “He who influences the thought of his times influences the times that follow” (Elbert Hubbard).
He reminds me of the famous comedian, Chris Rock as he tries to tell Cain not to worry, because once he gets the book deal, they’ll move to a better neighborhood. But every time Cain has to go to the center for rehab, Andrew is not always there to go with him. Compared to what his little brother wears, Andrew is spiffier; he richly clads in black shoes, a white long sleeve shirt with black dress pants. Angela Rodriguez has also done a great job with the make-up. The best actor is Andrew Dillemuth, who plays the younger brother.
Kendrick tells the tale of his friend’s brother in his own eyes. We no longer see Kendrick telling a story, but the brother. With this we can say that the song is dedicated to both the victim and the victim’s brother. It was said in an interview that this event was the turning point for Kendrick’s career. It is interesting to see the character Kendrick plays facing demons and guilt.
He was a star, and thats such a rare thing. Shakurs notoriety among mainstream audiences had much to do with his outlaw image, which was derived in large part from his frequent and high-profile scrapes with the law. Given his upbringing, however, this was perhaps to be expected. He was in prison, he often reminded interviewers, before he was born. His mother, Afeni Shakur, was a member of the militant Black Panther movement; in 16 she and 0 others in the organization were arrested in connection with an alleged conspiracy to blow up several buildings in New York City.
Golding uses the leadership styles of the united states leader to represent how ralph leads the boys. Golding does not use a leader to represent Piggy, When Golding created the book he made it so that Piggy was an outcast but he knew what was right. Golding creates three main leaders in his novel Ralph, Jack, and Piggy but they did not become leaders by birth they became leaders through the circumstances they were put through, Ralph became leader by votes but
Chafe, Alice Mary Baldwin Professor of History and former Dean of the Faculty at Duke University, admits that he has built his impressive scholarly career by neglecting these dramas to shape what is now the accepted historical conventional wisdom. In books such as "Civilities and Civil Rights" and "The American Woman," he writes, "I have focused on the way social movements, not individuals, have transformed our recent past." Now, Chafe wishes to right the balance, beginning with what he calls "an old-fashioned conviction -- that individual leaders make a difference in a society." The result is insightful and significant, showing how the personal and the psychological shape the political and historical. In eight well-paced, well-written chapters, Chafe sketches portraits of 10 influential modern Americans: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and the Clintons, Hillary and Bill.
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. I consider musicians to be artists who use music as a form of expression. The majority of their actions are to uphold certain image expectations from their fan base. Rock stars are expected to act wild and crazy always engaging in scandals to keep their fans wanting more. While a majority of these people are addicts with psychological issues who usually die from overdoses of illicit drugs many actually have families and are regular normal people when they are not in the spotlight.
To begin, here is some background on the gangs that will be discussed. One gang that has grown rapidly throughout the years in New Jersey is the Bloods. The Bloods are an African-American gang that started in Los Angeles, California. The primary reason why the Bloods are so huge and notorious today is because they wanted to compete against the intimidation and rivalry of the Crips. It all started when the Pirus, a set underneath the Crips, separated during an internal gang war.
This paper will argue that we cannot define whether reality TV programs such as ‘Big Brother’ adequately reflects reality but rather look at what is re-presented. I will look at the themes, which have been presented throughout many reality TV programmes and the way they have impacted on British society. I will also assess the popularity of reality television in regards to audience participation, ratings and media reception. I think that it’s really intriguing how so many people only have to watch one episode of a reality T.V. programme and get glued to the screen-hook, line, almost literally, or in lots of people’s case like a moth to a flame, and we all know that that doesn’t always end well.
