It’s the epitome that Don Critobita has bought her and now can use her for whatever he likes, and Rosita has no clause to raise, no voice against her master and nowhere to go in that society. She is the pictogram of sacrifice, inner restlessness, slavery, and cruelty of the un-kind Spanish society that it inflicts upon the females. She has no voice of her own, and even if she tries to speak, her voice is subdued by the rules and customs of the society that doesn’t acknowledge such things. Rebellion

Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that is inspired or influenced by psychedelic culture and attempts to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experience of psychedelic drugs.

bring to light is that The Grateful Dead were proficient in creating instrumentals through improvisation while Bob Dylan was proficient in writing lyrics through both scrupulous and haphazard methods. Music was created and embodied in many different ways during the 1960’s and 1970’s. This was a time for innovation that musicians were allowed to, and encouraged, to reach for and grab.

Fara panicked at the gesture, and clung close to Xhaiden. Her breath faltered as she watched the shadow loom over her attacker's hand and form a sturdy, solid shape. She wanted to scream, let the sound rip her vocal chords out of her throat in terror at the awful sight. Now in his hand was a firm object, a pistol, that gleamed with gloomy highlights upon its barrel. Immediately, someone pressed a laminated paper into hers, and curled it into a ball, holding his hand over her fist. She was translated

Dead Kennedys are a band I’d heard of for year, but I’d never listened to their music before now. The band originated in San Francisco, California in the late ‘70s. At the time of Dead Kennedys’s formation, the punk scene of San Francisco outgrew from the hippie counterculture of the late ‘60s and was energetic and political. There was a unique offense against cultural systems brought to the music. Dead Kennedys fit into this scene by giving performances with a sense of chaos and reciting political

Shimmer muttered, “sounds like brainwashing.” Shimmer hadn’t meant for Shadow to hear that, nevertheless he did, and replied. “In a manner of speaking it is, but it must be done.” Luc interrupted. “Now, that all the excitement is over I’m going back down to the dock, Demi is waiting on the boat. We are going fishing; don’t worry Keen I’ll be back to relieve you at dawn.” Keen nodded his head. Shimmer was giving Luc a knowing glare. Luc smiled and mouthed, “Don’t worry.” Him and Demi had been pretending

talking about the dead lady, Stevens utilizes the word “cold.” This word has a direct relationship with the ice cream that is in the kitchen representing the happiness of life. The critic, Austin Allen, believes that “by linking the chill of death with a frozen dessert, Stevens seems to imply that death and the sensuous pleasures of life have something in common: detachment or isolation, perhaps.” This implies that even in life you may be alone or cold, which is exactly how the dead lady is by herself
