.... performances. The Sex Pistols were the epitome of a punk band. They were discovered in an antifashion clothing store in London called Sex by Malcolm McLaren, the store’s owner. Johnny Rotten, the band’s lead singer, was found while singing along to the jukebox. Sid Vicious, bassist, never learned to play bass. Their sound was exactly what McLaren was looking for. They set the tone for punk music. They sang about living in the slums of London for their whole lives. Their guitar, bass and drums were distorted and the vocals were shouted. Although most of their songs were banned from British television and radio, they were sti .....

.... the fact that Pocahontas and John Smith never actually fell in love, that Powhatan never actually intended to kill John Smith, and that Pocahontas was told to put her head between Smith and the executioners. But these are just minor details needed to form an opinion on the issue. One must take a step back, try to look at the big picture, get a feel for the importance of these details, and track down the real reason behind the making of Pocahontas. The truth is, this movie was definitely geared to a younger audience. It was made for enjoyment purposes, for the formation of role-models in youngster’s minds, and to establish a .....

.... states are at a great advantage under the Electoral College system. Small states would also be at a disadvantage with the absence of the Electoral College due to the plain fact that candidates would have less incentive to campaign in those states. Under the current system, presidential candidates go to small states far less than they do to the states with greater electoral power. However, with a popular vote this phenomenon would be immensely magnified. Candidates would exclusively campaign in, and attend to the needs of, the largely populated states. There would be much less of an incentive for them to visit the small states .....

.... to actual events with a description of life in a conformist provincial town. Wolf was a member of the ruling Socialist Unity Party of the GDR until the party disintegrated in 1989. She was, however, removed from the East Berlin committee of the GDR Writers' Union in 1976 after joining in protest against the withdrawal of citizenship from dissident singer Wolf Biermann. Wolf's controversial novel Was bleibt (What Remains and Other Stories, 1995), written in 1979 but not published until 1990, includes an account of being under surveillance by the Stasi, the GDR's security service. In Auf dem Weg nach Tabou (1994; Parting from P .....

.... the faces of the ignored, opinions and reactions are left to be made by the viewer. Have you ever been at the beach safely shielded by a dark pair of sunglasses and just watched? Being a silent third party to a father screaming at his seven-year-old daughter for putting the inner tube in the wrong place. People watching has for a long time been one of my favorite activities as third party you are able to see people for what they are, unbiased by already having known the person. Eugene Richards’s book has made me look at my hobby from an artistic vantagepoint. He’s made me start to think that one day I would like to be one beh .....

.... many changes for African-Americans. They had slowly built up communities in America’s urban areas or rural land. Although a very few number of African-Americans could actually be considered successful at this point in time, most had cut all ties from their family’s slave master and had made a life for themselves and the generations to come. Despite the advances made, African-Americans were still treated horribly by whites. They were segregated from society, placed on the outside and looked upon as outcasts. They were not given the same freedoms or opportunities as the white man. Although white America kept assuming .....

.... while their men were away; this meant assuming all duties of the family not just those patterned around the household. Kerber’s condensed statement is a general evaluation of how women were influenced during the revolution overall. And unknowingly it is practically an immediate parallel to Mary Fish’s life at that time as well. Mary’s capability to defeat a long span of severe depression due to being overwhelmed by a series of losses, such as the loss of her first child Rebecca, and many complications demonstrates strength that even innumerable people can not overcome at the present day. The strength that Mary had p .....

Traditional handcrafts such as carpet weavings play a part in the countries' economy. Iran is very famous for its wonderful "Persian rugs." An expensive Persian rug, handmade with silk, can cost somewhere in the rang too forty-thousand to fifty-thousand dollars per rug. These rugs are not found everywhere. However, if one where interested, brand chains from Sears to Home Depot carry imitation rugs for prices somewhere in the range of four hundred and fi .....

.... 800 men with only 3 guns. In the early morning hours on August 27, the Americans fired on a few British soldiers who were near the Red Lion Inn. A few hours later, the Americans were attacked by 200-300 British troops. These attacks started the battle. General Howe was trying to distract the Americans so that Grant could attack; the plan worked. This lead to a battle between Grant and Alexander. Though Alexander only had 1,600 men, he was smart to organize his men into the open, European style, rather than just hiding them behind cover. Grant, on the other hand, had 7,000 men, which meant that they were superior to the Americans. .....
