Rest in peace Leonard. Friendship bracelets would have be to my second favorite activity. Creating friendship bracelets brings out my creative side, and it also is just a relaxing activity to make bracelets at RISE. Acrylic color is my third favorite activity at RISE camp because I like to paint and color. I also like to create art after being inspired by my favorite subject in school: art class. When I do art and drawing, it makes me feel calm. Four square is my fourth favorite activity. I like to play this game outside, as it makes me feel energetic. I also like to do this outdoor activity during the summer, as the sunny and warm weather makes this game more fun to play. Capture the Flag is my fifth favorite activity at RISE. It is another energetic activity that is fun to do during camp, and I also have done this game many times. This activity also makes me sweaty and hot.

ADVERTISE WITH THE CHRONICLE Email [email protected] for rates. July 31 2020 THE RISE REVOLUTON Music and Arts|3 Top 10 Metal of All Time By: Cash Vincent Top 5 Fun Activities at RISE Metal is a diverse genre. Whether you’re into , heavy metal, or just one of those people who thinks everything falls under the category of screaming, there is probably something for you. But differences aside, let’s count down the top ten greatest metal albums of all time.

10. Scumdogs of the Universe - Gwar: Gwar is undeniably one of the most original bands of all time. In their sophomore effort, Scumdogs of the Universe proves no different. With the biggest song of their career, “Sick of You,” this secured Gwar’s place as one of the most recognizable bands of the metal genre.

9. - : While German metal legends Rammstein’s second album, Sehnsucht, was the one that brought them in- ternational fame, Herzeleid was the album that brought them their initial popularity in their native country of Germany. From Rammstein’s classic “Du Reichst so gut ‘98” to the synth-heavy “Laichzeit,” Rammstein’s debut album established them as a force to be reckoned with.

8. Iowa - Slipknot: Slipknot has always been an angry band and Iowa is definitely their angriest song. Gaining a considerable following with their first album, Iowa showcases what would eventually become classics, such as “Disasterpiece” and “The Heretic Anthem.”

7. - : After the release of their debut LP , the EP, and the double EP, / , The 80’s icons presented their career defining album, Reign in Blood. With classics such as “” and “Angel of Death,” Reign in Blood showcased Slayer at the height of their popularity.

6. Rust in Peace - : Megadeth had a considerable following before they released their breakthrough album, Rust in Peace. It is undeniable that this album, with classic metal songs like “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due,” has solidified Megadeth as true metal legends.

5. Toxicity - : It’s hard to say anything bad about the System of a Down (SOAD). They are one of the greatest metal bands of the 90’s, if not of all time. SOAD’s second album, Toxicity, is a roaring bonecrusher that focuses more on the mind and human activ- ity rather than their politically charged first album.(More on “Back Page”) Top 5 TikTokkers By: Evan Carter

Charlie D’amelio is number one. This is because she has over 70 million followers and she is a really good dancer. Addison Rae is second because she has less clean content on her account, making her not so RISE appropri- ate. However, she does do a lot of cool dances, and is really

open with her followers. Charle D’Amelio Addson Rae Avani is third because she has creepy content which scares people, but her creepy clown make-up is pretty cool. Dixie Damelio, otherwise known as Charli D’amelio’s sister is fourth because she is not much of a dancer. She does do a lot of and that is really cool. Rainbow Kitties (RainbowKitties32), who is also known as RISE Camper Emma Kwee is fifth on my list. She is not as famous as the other TikTokkers, but she is super underrated at performing these TikTok dances.

Proof that Anakin is the Chosen One

In order to bring balance to the force in Star Wars, this does not mean destroying just the Sith. The Jedi manipulated the force in an unnatural way. The force favors the neutral, not the extremists of the force. Anakin destroyed the Jedi and then he destroyed the Sith years after. The Jedi twisted the prophecy saying that in order to bring balance to Will explains why Anakin Skywalker is the chosen one the force, Anakin must destroy the Sith only.

The only reason Gale even said he loved Katniss was because Peeta did it and he didn’t want to share Katniss, which is selfish if you ask me. Selfishness isn’t a trait you want in a love interest. Also, Gale can’t cook as well as Pee- ta, and what’s hunting without the actual cooking and eat- ing? Although Gale has many siblings he takes care of, that doesn’t necessarily translate to being good at supporting a family. The argument that Katniss has known Gale longer doesn’t actually work because they treated each other more like siblings, so dating would be a little weird. Also, when

Katniss got back from the games, Gale almost completely Peeta Mellark Gale Hawthorne ignored her. He just got jealous, tried to keep her and Peeta apart, and tried to win her back by kissing her (bad move). All of these reasons prove that Peeta is the best for Katniss.

I’ve always been a fan of old or “classic” comedians like Groucho Marx or Jerry Seinfeld, which is what inspired me to write this. So without further ado, here are some the best quotes that comedy has to offer:

“I find television very educating. Every time some- one turns on the set, I go into the room and read a book.” - Groucho Marx “Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.” - Groucho Marx “A two-year-old is kind of like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it.” - Jerry Seinfeld “Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.” - Jerry Seinfeld “I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.” - Rodney Dangerfield “I went to see my doctor. “Doctor, every morn- ing when I get up and look in the mirror… I feel like throwing up. What’s wrong with me?” He said, “I don’t know, but your eyesight is perfect.”” - Rodney Danger- field “One thing a computer can do that humans can’t is be sealed up in a cardboard box and sit in a ware- house.” - Jack Hardy “I wish I had a dollar for every time I spent a dollar, because then I’d have all my money back.” - Jack Hardy “Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People trav- el thousands of miles ot be with people they only see once a year and then discover once a year is way too often.” - Johnny Carson “Despite the fact that computer speeds are measured in nanoseconds and picoseconds, (one-billionth and one-trillionth of a second respectively) the smallest interval of time known to man is that which occurs in Manhattan between the traffic signal turing green and the taxi driver behind you blowing his horn.” - Johnny Carson “A student from the University of Washington has sold his soul on ebay for $400. He’s a law student, so he probably doesn’t need it, but still, that’s not very much.” - Jay Leno “You can’t mad at somebody who makes you laugh.” - Jay Leno July 31 2020 THE RISE REVOLUTON Back Page|8 Creative Art Top 10 Metal Albums (Cont.) By: Ella Pollock By: Cash Vincent

4. British Steel - : If you know the song “Break- ing The Law,” then you know Judas Priest. Their best-known album, British Steel, spawned the ubiquitous anthem as well as other hits like “Living After Midnight.”

3. Psalm 69 - Ministry: One of the pioneers, Ministry’s first foray into the world of metal, Psalm 69, showcases the band’s signature overly-political style in songs like “N.W.O,” and the album also includes the metal classic “Jesus Built My Hotrod.”

2. Ænima (pronounced On-EH-Muh) - Tool: It was the al- bum that turned Tool from a straight-up to the legends we know today. One of the rare albums that has no weak spots, Ænima had no song that wasn’t amazing. From the epic opener “Stinkfist” to the thirteen-minute closer “Third Eye,”Ænima accom- plished a feat rarely achieved by other bands. The album charted in A TikTok Talent Show the top-ten twice; once on the initial release date, and again when Tool released their latest album Fear Inoculum. By: Hannah Zand
