Napoleon vs. Hitler: something in common

Even though their nationality they had many things in common. Napoleon is one of the most remembered bravery and courage general in the history of war. In the same way, Hitler is also remembered as the most powerful and blood thirsty general in the history.  So they had many things in common, in spite of the epoch.

Napoleon Bonaparte had the mad objective of to control the world. He started his empire in France then little by little his spread was bigger and bigger until he controlled the most of Europe and part of Asia. He fought by using warships, troopers and infantry. And the most common weapons were musket, ballonets and canons. His dominations had successes and victories, until his troops tried to invade Russia, the Russian army just waited the winter and Napoleon’s army fell in that trap and his army died because of winter and Russian army killed them very easy. In this way Napoleon’s empire ended.

In the same way Adolf Hitler had the mad intention of to control the world. He started his empire in Germany, Hitler had under his leadership many countries and he and his allies controlled the most of Europe, Asia and Africa. The most common armaments were hand hold automatic weapons, tanks, aircrafts and battleships. Hitler got a very strong army until his battle against Russia; in the same way, when Hitler’s army tried to invade Russia, the Russian army waited the winter and Hitler’s troops were dying until the army got weak and Russian army attacked them and Hitler was defeated.

Both were great leaders even their greatness they scared whole the world with their actions. They were from different countries but they shared the same objective: To try to control the world. They had a lot of victories by using different armament according with the epochs. Both invaded Europe, part of Asia and part of Africa. And both were defeated for the Russian army by using the same military strategy.

  Rock and Roll is not (ain’t) Noise Pollution


Rock and roll is not just a way to express something, it is a life style. Most people say that rock and roll is the devil’s work. Besides, some people think that that rock and roll is the noisiest music in the world. Moreover, some people do not like rock and roll because they do not understand the songs. Even though rock and roll is one of the oldest genres of music in the world (1955 approx.); many people do not accept that rock and roll is never going to die (rock & roll ain’t noise pollution, album: back in black, AC/DC, 1980).

Sometimes when people are very feeble they got scare when they listen to a song with hard lyrics; they think that the devil is talking through the song or something like that. It is true that many songs are about death, blood, fights, bad actions, and so on, but it does not mean that rockers worship the devil. The hard rock just expresses the things that others cannot express; it is like the voice of those who remain quiet and do not have the guts to say something; nevertheless, it does not mean that rock and roll is a diabolic music.

It is very common to hear people saying that rock and roll is very noisy. Well nobody can say that rock and roll is a soft music; well some types of rock are very soft, but the most of rock and roll types are very noisy and for some people it could be an annoying noise. As we know rock and roll is a very expressive music and for that reason this kind of music has to be very noisy in some cases. But, in order to solve it, people just need tolerance and some respect for the tastes of others, even when a rocker hears the musical tastes of others.  

One common aspect among people who do not like rock and roll is that they do not understand the lyrics. Most people got scare when they listen to something they do not understand and it is when they think that is something diabolic. I agree that some songs are very strange, but people just need to be open mind to appreciate and get the idea of the song some of them are very deep and full of feelings. However there are so many songs that are really aggressive, but for each heavy song there is one lovely song. Rock and Roll is for everybody.

 After all the things that people say against rock and roll it is never going to die. People say that rock and roll is the closer to hell while others say that rock and roll is the closer to heaven. Rock & roll did come from the hell because the hell does not exist it just exist in our minds and hell is the reality that we create with our actions. The noise is synonym of expression, in spite of it annoys some people. The only thing you need to understand some songs is to be opened mind and you will appreciate the things you unknown.

AC/DC's Concert (descriptive essay)


’s concert
Sometimes people say I am crazy and they ask me, why did you spend a lot of money in that thing? Are you crazy? If I were you I had bought something productive and so on. And I answer them: if you knew something about rock you should know that this band has been playing for 37 years, has the second best seller in history and they are original members. For these reasons if they give a concert in my country must go and nothing else matters because it could be the very last time.
When I noticed that will come to México I became crazy. I was working and I started to save money as much as I could. I agreed with a partner and we decided to buy the tickets the same day; when, that day came and my friend needed $400 pesos and the cost of the ticket was $1150 pesos and I did not have enough money to lend him, and we tried to pawn his electric guitar, but it did not work, the we tried to pawn his I-pod and we received $400 pesos and we bought the ticket: section A, places 41 & 42. When my family knew that I bought the ticket they growled me very hard and they almost did not let me go.
After all the problems the big day came. That morning of November 12th 2009, I got up early and my friend and me went to the bus station and we boarded the bus the trip was boring and very long I slept the entire trip. Some hours later we arrived to México City and it smelled like garbage. Then we arrived to the foro Sol and we ate and drank some cold and refreshing beer, after that we got into the raw and it was one of the biggest and widest raw I have ever seen. When took our places for the concert we waited for 2 hours then the lights turned off and a big screen came out and we saw a video then screen split in two parts and Angus came out playing his guitar and that was the most beautiful noise I have ever listened, suddenly particular smell came out and people around was smoking marihuana and all the people was jumping and sweating and the singer said” come on Mexico let me hear you scream!” and that was fantastic. That has been the best concert I have ever been.

After the concert my partner and I tried to go out as fast as possible, but we lost our matter of transportation, and we were walking trying to take a taxi but it was vain and we walked and walked almost for two hours. Then we saw a taxi but it did not stop instead of a police car stopped and the police men told us, what are you doing? It is too late and they checked us and they smelled us and one of them said “they were smoking herb” and they wanted to take us to the jail and we were too scared and we were telling them we were not smoking some people in the concert were smoking around us, after almost a hour they let us go. And we arrived to the bus station at 4 am.
 This was really good experience I would never forget it I learnt many things such as: do not be close to people who smoke mariguana and do not walk alone in Mexico City. I knew Mexico City and the most important thing is that I was in an ’s concert my favorite band. And I would like to go again and scream once again LET THERE BE ROCK!!!.
