Horace Mann Beat Generation
1,337 words
Jack Kerouac was the spark that started the flame
of the Beat Generation though, through his own
eyes, he felt like a failure. Jack keyed the term
beat generation in a conversation with John
Clellon Holmes, another of the beat generation
poets, in 1948 (). The Beat Generation might not
have happened without the help of Jack. What
formed him into the blunt writer that he was, was
his loving family, the death of his brother,
movies, college, and newfound friends. Jack
Kerouac, baptized Jean Louis ...

... t lifting. Clive did not like the name
Hercules so he shortened it to Herc. When Herc
became a graffiti writer he took the tag name Kool
Herc. Kool Herc began to DJ in 1973 once he had
amassed a great sound system. The Jamaican
influence of having a large sound system was not
lost on Herc. Herc realized that in order for
large crowds to dance to his music they needed to
hear the beat. Kool Herc seldom played an entire
song. He knew which part of the record sent his
audience into a frenzy. It...

Hip Hop Grandmaster Flash

Rahzel M. Brown was born in Queens, New York and
recalls that not having was never an excuse for
not doing. Just as in its most organic state the
essence of hip hop is making something out of
nothing, Rahzel learned how to feed his need to be
creative. We didnt have the turntables inside the
locker room and we couldnt bring our boom box in
there. Either we were banging on the locker, or
somebody was (making music) with their mouth. I
was the one who made the beats with my mouth. I
worked hard so...

Hip Hop Music Pop Art
2,076 words
Pop Art and Sampling In Pop art, reproduction and
repetition are the main aspects that distinguish
it from other art movements. Andy Warhols Marilyn
is a perfect example of reproduction of image
already familiar to the audience, and is repeated
once, four times, or twenty times. Pop art takes
from commercial art and makes it the elite art as
well. That is why Pop art is so special, because
it can be distinguished by the mainstream, not
just the elite art world. Reproductions provide
references t...

Clockwork Orange Ultra Violent

Many of us like to think that humanity as a whole
is progressing to a better future where we will
live united and in peace with one another, a time
of a more enlightened society. But there are those
among us that do not share these beliefs. In A

Roles Of Women Treatment Of Women

Throughout the world, from the beginning of time
to today, women have been thought of as inferior,
mens possessions and only there to serve mans
every need. As far back as the nomadic
civilizations, women were considered the nurtures
and homemakers. They were supposed to stay home,
take of the children and cook all of the family's
meals. Today women, in some places, are still not
treated as equals and have little if any rights.
As well as having unequal rights, women have been
treated harshly. T...
