Janis Joplin

Angel, A. (2010). Janis joplin: Rise up singing. NY: Amulet.  

This book is about Janis Joplin, she is the influential figures in rock-and-roll history. Her story is told in detailed about a young girl who struggles with rules and a singer who works hard on her career.  Janis Joplin was born in 1943 and died 1970 at the age of 27.  The book includes photos and quotes from friends and band mates.  I loved this story because, I really enjoy reading about someone’s life.  Janis Joplin is a true icon because of the things she accomplished with a short time on earth.  Havighurst's theory about adolescents must develop morals and values.  Havighurst states that you can reject some and gain others.
