Boyzone - Words should be amongst the greatest 50 songs



Words by Boyzone is one of the my favorite songs. Throughout the song the artists maintain a very slow tone. However in the chorus, the artists lift up the tone making it fast and loud, but again they end the chorus with a slow sad tone. The sadness and depression of the tone of this song makes listeners addicted to it. It causes the listener to feel sad thus arousing a strong emotional feeling. This song is one of my favorite as it helps keep my mood up when I am depressed and gloomy.

Fury at Soccer Game Deaths in Egypt Drives New Clashes


Date Published: February 2, 2012
Date Accessed: February 3, 2012

Several soccer fans in Egypt battled with the police in a protest on the government's failure to   prevent dozens of soccer players death in a soccer riot in Port Said. All throughout Egypt people were injured by bird shots, ammunition fire, tear gas and stampedes. The fan also projected their fury against the supporters of the Said Club who attacked a visiting Cairo Club. These fans are known as Ultras. However this battle eventually led into protest against a common enemy, the Inner Ministry. Rumors spread that the police abetted the weapons into the stadium. But there is no proof to confirm it. The people started blaming the police of several things like lack of negligence to search the fans, allowing the Said fans to enter but no the Cairo fans and switching of the lights to provide cover to the Said fans.About 70 people have died. The protestors are condemning the interior ministry saying that they wanted to hurt the Cairo fans for their role in the protests against the government. Egypt's newly elected parliament has started investigation in the Interior Ministry's role in this matter.

The Egypt government had gone through a transitional state from the end of monarchy to a new parliamentary government. Throughout history we have seen several cases where people are fighting against themselves and end up fighting against a common enemy. The American Civil War is one such example. The Blacks and the whites were in constant fights against each other. However when the nation was torn apart into the Union and the Confederacy. The Union would have lost the Civil War had not the Blacks and Whites combined forces to fight against the Confederacy. It was through their collaborative efforts that the Union won. Thus even though they were enemies, in the time of crisis they fought together. Similarly in Egypt even though the supporters of the Cairo and Said clubs were fighting against each other, in the end they started protesting against common enemy Inner Ministry.

57. Discuss how your travel experiences have affected you as a student and a citizen of the world.

Traveling is an action which one performs just for enjoyment. However, most of them do not realize that there is a deeper significance to it. Traveling has had a lot of positive affects on me. It has broadened my perspective of the world. Before I started traveling I always had a limited mentality. I was shy and did not open up easily to those around me. I did not like talking to strangers and could not hold myself together to go and talk to a foreigner. I was always skeptical about everything. I looked at any food other than Indian food with disdain. But once I started traveling, it was as if I had turned over a new leaf. I became open and could easily interact with different people. Whether he is a person sitting on the flight next to me or a stranger standing in the queue with me. They all were friends. I started talking with foreigners with ease. I also developed a new interest in learning new languages. Learning these languages helped me realize the beauty of the culture of various nations. I also started enjoying different dishes from different parts of the world. Some of them were not meant for my taste buds however most of them, I found delicious. Traveling transformed me from a introvert, withdrawn, sad, skeptical personality into an expressive, cheerful, open-minded, friendly individual. It did not just change who I was, it changed what I was. It made a complete human being ready to face the perilous challenges of the world without losing his foothold. It made me a man ready to go out in the world and make a name for himself.

62. Describe a fictional character. Be sure to point out what you do or do not like about the character and relate these attributes to yourself.

Sherlock Holmes, the all see detective, is one of the most famous fictional characters in the history of the world. Anything to do with mystery and novels is initially associated with him. Always known for his brilliant reasoning skills, he is not just a detective but THE detective. He is extremely fond of machinery. He never leaves an opportunity to invent something. This leads him to create inventions some of which are mocked upon by others but he is always proud of them. He will never feel that any detail is unimportant and while investigating a case will submerge into it completely, both mind and soul. He is unlike any detective that I have ever seen or read about. His reasoning skills is above  extraordinary and he can see things which ordinary humans cannot. This has led him to observe the smallest of details and solve the cases with the most unnerving easiness. He likes to work in peace and believe that silence is the best atmosphere to get a brain thinking. He also like to move around while he is using his brains and always gets restless if there is nothing to do.
Like Holmes I also like machines a lot. I always feel recharged in front of them and love building new stuff. I want to become an entrepreneur in the field of mechanics. Like him I also feel that everything we do in life  is important and will help us in some way or the other. Thus I don't feel that even the smallest of details while studying something is unimportant. I like to crack riddles and problems as they always get my brain running fast. I can spend a lot of time solving a problem and will never give up till I have solved one. I also cannot sit and study in one place. I like to roam around and study as it makes my brain function faster. And finally I also feel that silence is the best atmosphere to study anything because it increases the reasoning skills of a person.
