Brother
The day my little sister was born was supposed to be the best day of my life. I was going to be the big brother to an annoying little sister who looked up to me. All my friends had little sisters who thought of them as a mighty prince that would always protect them. I didn’t want to be the only one left out. Her name was going to be Emily and she was going to be her big brother Mitch’s biggest fan. But when I walked into the hospital room with Dad and saw the bundle of blue instead of pink in Mom’s arms, I was furious. They promised me a little sister, not a noisy screaming brother.

Paid For You
It was cold. There was no light, save for the small hole in the rough burlap sack over my head. I felt the freezing metal chair under me. The only separation between the chair and I was my thin shirt and skirt. My bare feet shivered from the frigid concrete. Piercing through the hole of the sack, I could see the concrete walls held copper pipes that lead around the room. There were very few bright light fixtures dangling ominously from thick black cords. I shifted my gaze to the metal table a meter away from me. My breath quickened as my blue eyes laid onto the various surgical equipment. They were all laid out neatly, possibly handled with intense care. I abruptly turned to my left to find another table. This table instead held more rustic tools. There was a blowtorch, a multitude of hammers, wrenches, drills, and firearms surrounding the main prize, a chainsaw.

Eminem's Street Cred of Personas
Eminem is one of the most well respected rappers of the 21st Century. He has sold over 100 million albums worldwide (Shady Records). He is known for being a voice of reason of the rap scene and providing not just laughs and tears from his songs but also contemplative theses. In his 2017 album Revival, he displays his thesis of racial equality in his song “Untouchable.” He does this by beginning from a Caucasian police officer’s point of view to draw attention and then ending by rapping his beliefs on what the nation can do to change the disfunction. But why can he, a Caucasian male, release a song at that level of complexity and sensitivity? It is because of his reputation, being the first famous Caucasian to write a song in favor of the Black Lives Matter movement, and his lyrics are full of references and power.
