    Why Boys Become Vicious

    In his excerpt for The Examiner “Why Boys Become Vicious”, award winning author Sir William Golding implies that people's reasons for evil, regardless of whether they were born with cruelty or their situation brought it out, is greatly affected by their home environment, social situation, fear, and chaos. This stand ties into one of the oldest debates in the history of psychology is the Nature vs Nurture which centers around whether a person's development is predisposed in his DNA, or a majority of it is influenced by early environment and development. The research of multiple psychologists and scientists, as well as the abundance of examples of children who have openly exhibited the cruelty Golding refers to, validate his claim. Golding argues…

    Richard Rodriguez, in the chapter in which the quote can be found, titled "Aria", writes repeatedly about the importance of intimacy with public and private language. Rodriguez mentions that intimacy can only be achieved in his life through the one language that he feels as if was a sort of secret one, Spanish. In my opinion, this quote bounces off a highly profound meaning. The reason why I say this is because I find it majorly interesting, the way that Richard Rodriguez sees the opinion of other people about mixing public life with private language; in other words using the language that transmits intimacy in a public place surrounded by people who speak other language that does not transmit anything close to intimacy. I find myself to be…

    1984 by George Orwell was a piece of fiction written as the author’s prognosis of the future for the universe. This quote could be viewed as a window in which the author took advantage of the position of the protagonist to showcase his own worries for the text. The protagonist, Winston Smith, illegally (for lack of better term) wrote ideas which betrayed those of the “The Party” hoping for his journal to be saved for future generations. By doing this Smith believed he could encourage subsequent generations that “The Party” may not be entirely what it seems, as he suspected. Yet, as stated in the quote, if society stayed as is, through controlling of the mind and physical belongings/beings, it could easily prohibit the transfer of Smith’s…

    We all have our favorite movies. We chose them because maybe we can relate to the plot on a personal level, or they take us to a different world on an adventure for a while. In The Breakfast Club, the director John Hughes uses music, dialogue and backstory to bring out the similarities the kids have behind social barriers because he wants people watching to see how no matter how different people seem, we may have more in common than meets the eye. Music plays a big role throughout this classic 1980’s movie. There are two specific scenes that come to mind when I think about music and this movie, and one main song.…

    Perhaps the single, most common answer to the question of the purpose of school is that it is to shape young minds in preparing them for the future. For some, school is where they go learn skills and techniques useful in the work world. For others, they are just forced to go to school, to be hassled with the burdens of overwhelming assignments, which deprive them of their ever so fulfilling social lives and other salient priorities. However, for the students in Crenshaw High School, school was a sanctuary, a safe haven; the only place where they felt accepted, worthy and optimistic. School was their only outlet where they could openly express themselves, especially in their English classes.…
