NIXON

 One of the most recognizable and well-known presidents in the history of America was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was the president of the U.S.A. from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. Personally, I feel as though Richard Nixon was more negative towards America and it's people, during his presidency. One reason why he was more negative is because of his response to the situation of low American supplies that came from the war in the Arab nations, connected with the oil crisis. Many Americans were angry to see the prices of their everyday natural resources go up, as a result of this. Bread went from 28 cents to 89 cents, and gas went from 25 cents to 65 cents. Nixon was able to relax the tension that the average American citizen felt due to the ongoing Cold War. He did this through establishing a relationship with China, a communist nation. Nixon even referred to China by its real name, a huge step, and also by visiting China. Nixon was able to end the embargo that had been previously been in place between China and America. All in all i believe that ixon was a possitive ad negitive influence on america. i cant choose between either side, so i must stay neutral.

scavenger hunt

1. skin-deep, gleaming, acid-folk, warming, dazzling, spaced-cowboy, incredible, trouble-song, loaded, blown, battered, impending, chirpy, disarming, gorgeously.
2. “Yeah, yeah: Everyone's a critic” This phrase is ironic because he is referring to a quote in the song and he is now not only criticizing the album, but now Hermes is criticizing the character in the song for being a critic.
3.  Singer Derek Dole sounds better than ever, something that’s immediately noticeable as the shouts of "These are the restless nights! These are the sleepless nights!"- subject+quote=sentence……"If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm raw . . . and you would wait tables and soon run the store," he sings in the gorgeously appointed title song. -Quote+prep phrase….."Dazzling Blue" feels just as organic, combining country-folk melodies with South Indian percussion in a love song about driving out to the beach on Long Island.
4. On "The Afterlife," an African-pop-flavored standout from his 12th solo album, Paul Simon describes the wait at the Pearly Gates like it's a trip to traffic court, all long lines, mumbled excuses and jokey asides.
“Simon's first album in five years is full of heavy business: life's meaning, beauty, brutality and brevity.” Hermes’ most profound analysis comes in the first paragraph.
5. a vulture

brands quote

It wasn’t a street fighting contest, but it was a street fighting mentality. And frankly, that’s why the Brands brothers had a bad rap. Nobody could handle the level we competed at. Nobody—except for the people that was on our side
