Character analysis

Grease or Soc?

What would you rather be, a spoiled rich kid or a cool greaser like us? I’ll give you five reasons on why you should be a greaser. Greasers stick up for each other. Socs are followers and we are individuals and leaders. Also Socs are a bunch of spoiled rich kids riding around in their daddy’s cars. We can have long hair and do what we want, and Socs, their two faced mamas boys that are not who you really think they are.
We greasers will always stick up for each other no matter what. We are all just a big family. If any of the greasers are having a hard time at home they come and sleep at our house. That’s why we leave our door unlocked. We never know who we might find sleeping on our couch in the morning.
Socs are followers, we are individuals and leaders, Socs are followers of the law. They just have money. We greasers don’t follow anyone; we are leaders of our own lives. We don’t care what others say about us.
You would never want to be a Soc. They are just a bunch of spoiled rich kids that think there cool because they drive their pretty little cars. They rely on their parents to get themselves out of trouble. They think they are cool because their parents spoil them with money. We have more freedom then them. They might have money but we greasers know the true meaning of friendship.
We have more freedom from the Socs. We can do what we want. We can dress the way we want to and be who we want to be. We are not afraid of having long greasy hair. That’s just the way we are.Socs are also two faced, they are not who you think they are. They act like innocent kids but are really white trash with pretty clothes and pretty cars. They always find a way to get away with it and blame it on the greasers. You belong with us greasers.

Nothing gold can stay

Kiss(band)

Kiss was a band formed on January 1973 in New York City. The genre if this type of music is rock and hard rock. In 2004 Kiss had been awarded 24 golden albums and had sold over 80 million copies world wide. The band members started off with The Demon (Gene Simmons), Starchild (Paul Stanley), Spaceman (Ace Frehley), and Catman (Peter Criss). The "Demon" makeup symbolized Simmons's dark elements, and love for comic books. Paul Stanley became the "Starchild" because he was referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" or "hopeless romantic." Ace Frehley's "Spaceman" makeup was of him supposedly being from another planet. Peter Criss's "Catman" makeup was believed that Criss had nine lives (like that of a cat) due to his rough childhood growing up in Brooklyn. Some creative differences caused, both Criss"Catman" and Frehley "Spaceman" to leave the band by 1982. Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer had replaced Criss and Frehley after their original line up reunion in 1996-1997.

On January 30, 1973 Kiss performed, for the first time for an audience of three in Queens at the Popcorn Club. On February 18 the band’s first album, Kiss was released . On February 19, the band performed the following songs "Nothin' to Lose," "Firehouse," and "Black Diamond", on ABC. "Hotter Than Hell" their second album was released on October 22, 1974. "Dressed to Kill" was their third album and was released on March 19,1975 and went better commercialy than "Hotter Than Hell". On September 10, 1975 they made their first live album called Alive!. That live album really turned them into a real time rock and roll band. Kiss released 25 albums.



I decided to embed this video because this is one of my favorite songs "Love Gun", and this is one of my favorite bands. I like this band because they are from my mom's home town Queens, New York and their songs have simple lyrics that are easily interpreted by people all over the world. Their songs are catchy and have amazing beats. I really like the rhythm and the lyrics. I really like how it begins it makes you crave for more of the song. I hope you like this song as much as I do.

STUNT GONE DANGEROUSLY WRONG!!

STUNT GONE DANGEROUSLY WRONG!!



At precisely 3:30PM stuntman James Anderson attempted to jump in between two branches of a tree. It all went well at first and it actually seemed like he was going to pull off this amazing stunt, but that's not what happened. Everything was ready and it was time for James to pull off this stunt. He entered his vehicle with a lot of self confidence and he didn't seem at all stressed. He started the car, and off he went gliding his way across the ramp and into the air. Just as his car appeared to go straight through the tree something happened. The car got stuck in between the two branches of the tree. After waiting for an hour, we finally got him down and with out a scratch.
