Kale Speech

By: Isaac Linnen I am a Boy Scout. Scouting has offered me many opportunities and experiences, but MAN do I hate it sometimes. There are many items that require completion, and some merit badges want me to do way too much paperwork. Recently I completed one of these paperwork centric merit badges: communications. A requirement for the badge was to write a five-minute speech and present it. Unable to come up with a professional topic, I searched my brain for … Continue reading Kale Speech

Crime Shows and their Intriguing Hook on TV Culture

By Isaac Linnen You’ve either watched one seen someone watch one or seen an ad for it on a channel.

Musicology Corner: J.S. Bach: His Dark Side

By: Veronica Kogan Many think of J.S. Bach as just some boring, stuffy composer who lived three hundred years ago and should stay there. Well, they are quite mistaken. Bach lived during the Baroque period, a time of artistic drama and grandeur. At the same time, Lutheranism, the first Christian faith to break from the Catholic Church, had a great impact on Bach’s music, and … Continue reading Musicology Corner: J.S. Bach: His Dark Side

Echo Presents: A Students Perspective Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

Poem By: Isaac Linnen The new semester has started   With a few bangs I would say.     Sadly, winter break melts away,   And with it, my time to play.  Connection issues now negligible,   Computers rarely lag behind.   Devices work quite diligently,  Technology works most of the time.    So now we move along,   Distancing from online.   A new digital note, paper and assignment?   The workload feels fine.   Some courses are way easier,   Some are thorns in my side.   Remembering due work isn’t a hassle   Thanks to simple PowerPoint slides.   … Continue reading Echo Presents: A Students Perspective Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

Echo Presents: My Dream – Veronica Kogan

By: Veronica Kogan The first word that sprung to mind when reading this prompt was the same one I have been mulling over since quarantine began many months ago: division. Since people have had a lot more time on their hands to mull over political and social issues, division over issues has escalated tenfold to violent civilian eruptions. It’s gotten to the point that civil war does not … Continue reading Echo Presents: My Dream – Veronica Kogan
