...The sixties are known as a generation fulfilled with experimenters, revolutionaries and freethinkers possessed by their own creative force to come together to tackle the political and social problems of their time. In a piece titled “The Times They Are A-Changin’: The Music of Protest,” Robert Rosenstone describes how the decade revolutionized music, not only “breaking down some of the old forms in which it was for along time straight-jacketed,” but inspiring new subject matter (Rosentone 291). Music was no longer just about love anymore. It dealt with the real world in which people live including civil rights demonstrations, drug experiences, war, interracial dating and explicit sexual encounters (Rosenstone 291). Rosenstone explains that the success of these songs in the early sixties prompted others to be written and from the second half of the decade on there was a full efflorescene of such topical songs written by young people for their peers. Many of these songs are referred to as protest songs. During this time, many American citizens chose to clearly denounce the United State’s involvement in the Vietnam War. Artists such as Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Buffalo Springfield addressed their views through their music as a surefire way to raise awareness and bring people together. It is argued that the so-called antiwar anthem of this time was a song titled, “Give Peace a Chance” by John Lennon and I couldn’t agree more. An ideal protest song that is still...

...build its product in line with customers demand. According to a report by Victoria Woollaston (2015) for Mail online, the world’s population is expected to rise from the current 7.3 billion to 9.7 billion by 2050. The rise in the population according to experts will lead to resources being scarce, pollution and poverty. The more people in the world, the more houses will be built and with the recent trend, these houses are becoming quite smaller. Little (2014) explained reasons ranging from aging population, economy and environmental effects of becoming greener among reasons why people tends to build or buy smaller houses.

...Jasmine Queen April 17,2012 My Favorite Place Through out the whole world, there are plenty of places where people love to go. Some may be a certain area, a store, a home, or even a different country. One place can hold special values to one person. Whether it’s a memory or memories, a feeling, or even just being in the environment. All of it leads up to being a persons “favorite place”. Everyone has a favorite place in their home, a place where he or she can be him or herself. Somewhere you can find peace and harmony. For some it's a quiet place, for others it's a hustling, bustling, full of people and movement place. But all of these places have one thing in common; they are places where you'd run to in times of both joy and stress. There is one place to me that makes me feel like I am the only one in the world. I chose this place because its stress free. It’s the only place in my house where I can be myself. I don’t have to worry about what others have to say. I can lay back and relax on my bed. A lot of times I just lay down and close my eyes and daydream about places I'd like to see or think about things that make me happy. One thing I do not do is think about things I need to get done or anything that makes me feel stressed because then I’ll never feel relaxed. I usually try to stay away from these kinds of thoughts and it usually works out well. Being able to watch whatever I please on my own television. Even playing my Xbox 360, without having to share with...

...Innocence: A Question Pillow Forts Our flashlights shimmer and shine under the cloak of my bed sheets. We look at the cotton walls, our hands weaving a tale through shadow figures. In a faux British accent with an ungodly stutter, my voice bounces off the walls. The velvet cushions from the love seat surround us like a fortress. As she sprawls across the floor, she declares, “When I am older, I am going to live in a pillow fort. Who would not want to live in a pillow fort?” We giggle and laugh, as she makes funny faces in the little pocket mirror she always carries with her. Aunty calls for us, telling us it’s time for bed. I remind her to leave one light on because Angie doesn’t like the dark. We slink underneath the sleeping bag. She pulls out the book she brought with her, it is about insects in North America. We turn every crisp page by the luminescence of our flashlights. Before I drift off into...

...metal hilt, but the blade broke a year ago, so I replaced it with wood. It’s still just as sharp and would be able to pierce the skin with ease. I take a deep breath, leaning up against the wall. Remaining calm and in control is key, but fear still slithers its way into my mind as it always does. I did have some ideas of what to expect. Thieves, most likely and if that is the case, I need to be able to defend both Kallua and myself. I slowly turn the knob, hands shaking, and then leap into the room. It’s dark, but by the little light coming in from the door, I can make out three moving shadows and Kallua’s form still asleep in bed. She is the heaviest sleeper in the world unlike me. Still a bit odd she’s still asleep with all the noise they’re now making. I jump on the nearest moving shadow and stab the little two-inch knife into their shoulder. In this world, it’s kill or be killed. I’m not planning on killing anyone, only hurting them so they’ll leave. The person growls in pain, an almost animal-like sound and immediately shakes me off. My body slams into the floor, my knife out of my hand and still in the person. That person was strong. Too strong. Dammit. But it’s too late, one of them has a death grip on my neck and throws me across the room. I hit the wall, hear a crack in my back. The pure strength put behind that throw nearly knocks me unconscious as white dots dance across my vision. I gasp for air, trying to get oxygen into my crying lungs. “Demons,” I curse under...

...Together we would live happily in a nice neighborhood. When someone walks in they would be greeted by my massive two tier chandelier in the corridor. It would be filled with painting from world known artist. To the left there would be the den that would have decorated in chocolate and cream. There would be a chocolate leather couch, a chocolate leather chair and ataman. On the couch there will be cream throw pillows and a cream and tan blanket draped over the back of the couch.

...she got up at six o’clock sharp, made the beds, and strolled down the squeaky staircase of the house that seemed to be ancient. Today marks the 7th year since her beloved son has been deceased. She limps towards the tiny speck of sunlight that overflowed through the window crack of her child’s bed chamber. Her eyes roamed the tiny room as she took a deep breath. The thick, musky scent filled her lungs. Sometimes, she just liked to sit there for hours, reminiscing the few moments in her distance past when her life was perfect. Now that she thought of it, those moments seemed like only a few split seconds. A cold shiver travels down her spine as the memory of the day her life took a tragic turn. A mixed feeling of sadness and numbness attacked her. All of a sudden, she could not feel any emotion at all, just the dark pit of emptiness inside her heart. Emotionless, her hands magnetized towards a tiny wooden box that hid under the crib. Dust flew of the surface as she blew on the top of the polished cherry wood. Inside, was the soul of her first and only son, whom was taken away from her arms exactly 7 years ago. Her hands suddenly started shaking furiously, and the box crashed to the floor. Why did every bad thing in the world have to happen to her? She thought to herself. The rage, anger, regret and fury she had bottled up from all the years began to come back to her. There is still one way she’ll be able to get revenge on this world for taking what’s hers, all it costs are the...

...Date: October 16, 2011 To: Lawrence J. Rogers From: Christy Verghese Re: Sleeping is a necessity Who doesn’t need sleep at some point in time? It is very important to obtain the right amount of sleep to help one function normally throughout the day and to maintain functions of the body. So even though sleep is a necessity the need for a bed is more of a luxury demand considering there are other substitutes to beds for individuals to get sleep such as futons, sofas, air mattresses, and cots. On the third quarter fiscal report for 2011 net sales were $334.1 million with a 3.8% increase from the previous quarter (see Table 1). There was an operation cost increase of $1.7 million to $37.8million. Note that the ability to provide variety is a benefit to consumers to have a choice and to provide a wide range of prices to allow a choice. There was a news release that stated that the industry is going to increase commitment to specialty bedding which in turn will provide new jobs that will lead to adding consumer loyalty through employees. The development of better beds will lead to consumers choosing a Sealy mattress versus a cross-price product like Serta or Simmons Mattresses.

...Hot Sunny Day One Sunday morning, hot, and humid sunny day. I woke up, because the sun hits my eyes, and because of that, my window shade fall off. Clearly, I could see it was on my dirty floor. There was a rat sleeping on it. I didn't plan to move the rat, because I was so tried that I couldn't move. I was sitting on the edge of my bed. I stared out at the wall for at less an hour. Then I looked down. As I'm moving down with my eyes. My eyes were so slow that I felt that I'm like a robot. When I tried to get myself up, as I moved away from the edge of the bed. My boxer was like a glue, clinching onto my bed sheet. I would had to use some muscle in order to get it off. It was tricky because my body was sweaty and sticky. I got it off, then I found out that my bed sheet has a yellow mark where I just sat on. It was yellow and it smelled bad. It smelled like a dirty swamp. I almost punk but, I held in. I got into the bathroom. The moment I opened the door, I jumped because there was a girl who was half naked with her head sticking into the toilet. The floor was covered in blood and the sink as well. I had no idea what was going on. I closed the door awkwardly and said, “Please take your...

...What goes bump in the night Arwin screamed herself awake she felt her heart pounding, she put her hand to her forehead. She was trembling in fear and her clothes and bed sheets were soaked with sweat. She has had many nightmare’s but this one haunted her as it felt so real. “was it a dream? Did this happen to me? She let her hand drag the soaked hair out of her face. She could not remember when she had gotten a good night sleep. These dreams were getting more intense and her emotions were getting worse after she had met this Tak. “why? Why were they getting worse?” What did he have to do with this dream.” Was this a horrible trick that her subconscious was playing on her. She was afraid to go to sleep as these dreams did carry the whisper of having the truth behind them and the only way they would manifest would be when she slept as this was the time when she was not on guard. She felt she was being silly but she knew that deep down within herself it was her heart that was controlling her senses. She knew that her heart was reminding herself about her childhood about how she went to find her mother in her bedroom only to find her dead. The vision of her mothers lifeless body made her heart beat a little faster. She runs into her mothers room shaking her “Mommy wake up there are people here.” She remembered. She turned over to her side pulling the cover closer to her chin she glanced over at her mothers photograph. She reached over letting her finger...
