Kellin Quinn
I Am For You I. Introduction
“ I can’t promise that things won’t be broken, but I swear that I will never leave.”
-Kellin Quinn. Isn’t that what everyone really wants- what everyone really needs? Not always is a solution to a problem needed. Sometimes we just need someone to help us through our tough times and to help us learn from mistakes that have been made. Kellin Quinn understands this. Not only does he relate to the need to help friends, but Kellin relates to almost all the struggles most teens and, well, pretty much all ages witness. It shows in his music. You see, Kellin Quinn is the singer and pianist of the band Sleeping With Sirens. Their music is about coming from a broken family and how much it hurts because you feel responsible. Difficulties ranging from self-harm to bullying to love are heard in the meaningful lyrics of their songs. Not only do Kellin and the band write about that, but also they have songs that are inspirational, joyful, and that make you want to smile and appreciate the good in life.

II. Caring
Kellin is more than just a musical genius; he is one who cares about people as individuals. For example, Marie Fowler was a nineteen year old cancer patient that was diagnosed with only 72 hours to live. Kellin Quinn, her idol, was notified on Twitter and he Skyped her. He told her to be strong and to savor and appreciate the life she has enjoyed. On top of that, Kellin has dedicated his life to music and to make his fans feel better and blissful. He has definitely made my life easier and made me cope well with tragedies. I’m so thankful that I have Sleeping With Sirens in my life.

III. Kellin’s Struggles
Kellin Quinn’s father left him and his mother when he was young and they had to work hard to pay the bills and to take care of themselves. Kellin was diagnosed with depression and mental disorders because of his difficulties. With a great deal of effort and persistence, he overcame these challenges and

This information, along with the tips from neighbors, and electric power readings allowed federal agents to obtain a search warrant and arrest Danny Kyllo.…

    Patrick Henery

    • 427 Words
    • 2 Pages

    When Henry says “listen to that song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts”. He is using a mythical allusion. He metaphorically comparing how the British are saying things to the colonist which are promising false hopes. This creates an emotional argument. Also when Henry said “I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.” Henry he is metaphorically calling experience a lamp. He says that experience will “light” the way for the future. There is a Biblical allusion here to the scripture which says the God’s word is a “lamp unto thy feet and a light unto thy path.” This is an appeal to emotion because it is involving God and religion. Henry also uses a lot of rhetorical questions that are followed up by a declarative sentence answering the question. He uses this rhetorical device to emphasize the military producers which the British are taking. This also creates an appeal to emotion because, it causes fear in the colonists. When Henry says, “They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other.” He uses a balanced sentence with parallel independent clauses which repeat the same point. This again, emphasizes the military producers.…
