Eminem Adversity

Everyone is affected by adversity and everyone tends to overcome and recover from adversity. One guy that a lot of people look up to and that had faced adversity is Eminem. His real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III and he is like an idol to people who have drug problems or family problems. He grew up with nothing and came from an absentee father and a cruel mother. He always appeared to be angry and it was even felt through his music. He has a disillusioned wife and lived life in a trailer park. His life was rough that pushed him to drop out of the ninth grade because he had failed three times. That’s when he thought of going into the rap career. In 1997, Interscope Records discovered Eminem and was given a record deal. He released his first album Marshal Mathers LP and it was very successful and won 3 Grammy awards for it. He had a daughter at an early age and struggled with fatherhood. Like a lot of fathers, Eminem doesn’t think he would be a good father for his daughter and he doesn’t feel like he could provide for her. He was always with his daughter and was by her side unlike his father was for him who left him. When his daughter turned three Marshall was able to provide her with everything that she wanted and life started to turn out better. He always wrote negative songs about his mother and Kim and his mother set up sever lawsuits against him but he overcame adversity by trying twice as hard to show his worth and to be successful in the Rap Industry. All of his songs and the 8 Mile movie were based on his life events and his friends, family, enemies, and he learns from his mistakes. His album Relapse was based on a rough time he went through but in 2010 he released Recovery which took a stand in his life to become a better Idol for people and a better person. People have experienced the things he’s been through and they take his songs into heart and understand what he means in them. I haven’t been through what he has besides the

    Adversity In Night

    • 4 Pages

    Racing their way down the ramshackle streets of an all-American slum, two young boys hurry home. Next-door-neighbors on the seedy side of town, the two children share fears, sorrows, and joys. Yet while one boy will attend a prestigious medical school, his friend will join the gang down the street. In their diverging paths, these boys challenge common beliefs about adversity. One such belief belongs to Roman poet Horace. Says the philosopher, “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” In the case of the first boy, Horace’s assertion holds true, but his friend’s case reveals its falsehood. Adversity, then, is a fickle matter; one cannot predict whether an adverse experience will…

    Horace - Adversity

    • 523 Words
    • 3 Pages

    What I believe that Horace is trying to say through “Adversity has the effect of electing talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant” is that challenges bring about innate talents in individuals which would have otherwise been undiscovered. Through personal experiences and the novel “The Scarlet Letter” I can certainly justify why this quote is not completely accurate. Adversity is merely a stimulant, but a person’s own character is what drives him to be successful.…
