Сочинение на "легко ли быть независимым? "

I think, nowadays, lots of people want to be independent. No one thinks about his future. About the life, that waits for this person. But in fact, it wouldn't be so easy, as you want. So there are advantages and disadvantages of being independent.
One of the advantage is that nobody shouts at you. Besides, no one controlls you and says you what to do. 
But if you don't have money or you're scared to stay alone - it's not for you. You ought to be always alone. You don't have people to talk with and nobody can help you.
So, every person have to decide it by himself. 
It's not easy to be an independent person. If you want to be an independent person you must disobey to other and can defend your opinion

My name is Vladislav. Rock is my favorite music style. Why is it rock that I love most of all? I like this music style because it is rhythmic. The characteristic features of rock music are invariable rhythms and the volume of sound.
I think that the Beatles gave rise to the development of a style that was later called "soft rock" that, in its turn, evolved into the so-called "pop music". The distinctive "Beatles" style came from the relative simplicity of their music and lyrics. I'd like to tell a few facts that will be interesting for everybody:
1. In the 1980s rock music had a great influence on people. For example, the Scorpions were considered "guilty" of a sharp increase in the birth rate in Europe.
2. The Hatebeak is the only rock band in the world that has a parrot as a vocalist.
3. Victor Tsoi's music was so popular that his fans copied him in clothing and haircut. And when he died, some teenagers committed suicide. Furthermore, KGB referred "Kino" to one of the ideologically harmful rock bands.
I am keen on rock because this music really enters deep into the heart due to its melodious force. Rock is a perfect combination of humility and aggression, and it causes many conflicting emotions. It is my life.
