  John Mayer - "Where the Light Is"

  

  By Layla_Banaie, Canfield, OH

  Live albums normally do not appeal to the public because the quality of the artist's voice is often weak and unfamiliar. The voice that everyone is used to disappears and places doubts as to the singer's talent. “Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles” is an exception. This album con...

  The Windy City

  

  By Layla_Banaie, Canfield, OH

  One of the perks of being a member of a high school marching band is the trips we take to various places in the country. Destinations such as Disney World and Virginia Beach have been fun, memorable experiences, but no other band trip could ever compete with our voyage my junior year to Chicago, Il...

  Rules of the Road: High School Hallways Edition

  

  By Layla_Banaie, Canfield, OH

  For the most part, I like school. It keeps me going and gets me where I want to go in life. But there is just one thing that urks me about school: the hallways, and the lack of common courtesy I see in the halls. I believe the hallways at school should have a set “rules of the road.” When th...

  By Layla_Banaie, Canfield, OH

  Ever since I can remember, on the first day of school I was always asked this question: were named after the song “Layla” by Eric Clapton? I remember responding “Who’s that?” in first grade and “Why does everyone ask me that?” every year after. No, I was not named after the classic r...

  Thinking of You

  

  By Layla_Banaie, Canfield, OH

  Whenever I look up, I see your face. Wrinkles still intact, just like the day you left earth. I will never forget your eyes struck with years of wisdom and your white tufts of hair like soft clouds lingering on top of a mountain. Whenever I look up, I see your hands. Rough from years in the mi...

  Entity of the World

  

  By Layla_Banaie, Canfield, OH

  I remember once, on a pilgrimage to the world’s center, a day where Sultans and Emperors from far away lands came together. In the hand of many a soft quill prints on the rough parchment. The one we call honorable rose between the divided sides. A single breath escapes all the so...

  The Book Thief

  

  By Layla_Banaie, Canfield, OH

  Death is not only used as a theme and symbol in The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, but it is also the narrator. In this book, Death gives the reader a different perspective of what death means in Nazi Germany by looking in his eyes, rather than the victim's. He follows foster child Liesel Meminger...
