9. Given the authority to establish a holiday, what would you choose to commemorate? Why? What would the celebration look like?


If I had the authority to establish a holiday I would establish the birthday of Elvis Presley as a holiday. I would establish Presley’s birthday as a holiday because with his music he changed the life of many people. The perception of what rock was before Presley totally changed. Presley had the spark that could sheer up a whole multitude at the same time that it made it sad, mad or crazy. He could move a crowd so good that it was hard for anything to stop him. His music was just a pile of mixed emotions that felt your heart with adrenaline and you just couldn’t stop it. It made you love and hate life at the same time, you felt blue, red and green; every color was going through your body and you just couldn’t explain how it was happening. You were confused because you knew you were standing up but you felt like you were flying. Your brain said it was just music but your heart yelled with intensity that it was heaven. You knew, when you heard his music, that you had to celebrate that person every year on his birthday.
