5. Billie Holiday Essay example To understand the controversy that Billie presented one must first go to the root or source of such controversy and examine Billie's childhood. Billie was born Eleanora Harris to her father Clarence Holiday and mother Sadie Fagan who were just fifteen and thirteen years old, respectively, at the time (A 91). Born between 1912 and 1915 in Baltimore, the date unsure, Billie grew up without her father, who moved away early on in her life. Billie and her mother used to fight a lot, when her mother was around. Much of the time Billie was left in the care of relatives or friends, many of whom were unloving (E). Billie's relationship with her family was very weak, as Billie throughout her life and career never or rarely got family approval or...show more content... And on the numerous occasions when Billie's mother was out of town, she would be out having fun without any worries. Billie grew accustomed to using men to get money. Billie would pick up guys, pretending to be a hooker, and then she and her friend would jump him and take his money (W 28). "She became a fast woman. She wanted fast money, fast life" (W 26). Her life did become faster and faster as Billie was brought further down into the truths of the world when Billie became a prostitute. "[Billie] ran errands for a brothel in Philadelphia and in 1927 moved to New York, where for the next three years she earned a living as a prostitute" (E). These aspects of Billie's life molded her attitude towards life in the future, and her future decisions and goals. These influences became her boundaries, her disposition, and in some cases, her limitations. Educationally, Billie was deprived. Never getting beyond the fifth grade, Billie was the victim of the educational restrictions that were imposed on many of those who dwelt in Black Ghettos (BB 67). As Billie grew older her education became a limitation. "This woman's talent and her looks, and yet in some ways she really had the mind of a 12–year–old" (BB 67). This lack of education would haunt Billie later in her career, a startling reminder of her childhood, and its definite shortcomings ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

It was something we had wanted to try since young. When we first got onto our skis, we could not really balance and went sliding down the slope involuntarily. Luckily we started at the bottom of the beginners slope thus it was not that steep. It was another agonizing task to try standing up after falling down. It was entirely different from how I imagined. I thought we could just stand up the way we usually do after a fall but it was 10 times harder on skis. Of course, we all learn through experience and by dawn, we were already skiing down at a speed we never thought we could achieve. To have conquered, the beginners' mountain without lessons within a day was an achievement that we were all proud of. As the days ends earlier in Japan, it was dark by the time it was 5pm. We had no choice but to stop for the day. We went back to our Japanese style hotel rooms which had individual "onsens" which means hot springs in Japanese.

Billie Holiday's story from 1950 on is a gradual down slide. She was arrested several times on drug charges and was divorced then remarried for a third time. In 1951 she met and married Louis McKay, who similar to her other two husbands, turned out to be abusive as well.

Holiday by Margaret Atwood Essay examples Holiday by Margaret Atwood 'Holiday' by Margaret Atwood has a simple and familiar subject but the real meaning behind the simple story is hard hitting and in many ways it is a warning. She talks of a holiday and story shows how she is at a barbeque with her family in the countryside. However she interweaves a bleak image of our future within this straightforward story. It starts of with Atwood describing her daughter eating sausages.

''like a breath, a footstep'' shows that the danger is creeping up slowly and softly but is without doubt there. She uses a juxtaposition in the next line saying, ''with its calm eye of fire'' calm and fire are 2 opposites as fire is never meant to be calm. She says that ''fire'' or danger is coming but very peacefully. The calm 'nothing' carries with it an explosive danger, which we are ignorant to. She then comes back to present and describes the scene around her. She continues to depict her daughter eating and looking for berries. However the line ''grace plumps the berries, two or three hot and squashed in her fist'' seems to be a metaphor. I think that Atwood is saying simply that her daughter finds a Few dusty berries and then squashes them in her hand. However its profound meaning seems to be that grace or blessing from god has made the berries round and juicy, they slowly became dusty and now man destroys it so frivolously. It is a metaphor showing nature and how man treats it presently, without much care. She also says ''the blades of grass are still with us'', as she remembers that we still have grass and expresses gratitude. The last stanza is clearly a warning where she says that so far we have destroyed nature carelessly and for fun, but we have already ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...
