That doesn't mean those throw overs are now to be thrown away. Possibly the best advice Wengie could pitch our way is taking an average razor and shaving your sweater.…
Very few organizations had the influence and had the control over America’s underworld like the Chicago Outfit. The Outfit was a group of gangsters that were ruthless and they were willing to take any means necessary to get what they wanted. They took over a city and took advantage of a federal law that greatly benefited organized crime. The most famous of all mafia kingpins, Alphonse Gabriel “Al” Capone, controlled the Outfit and had a major hand in making it one of the most powerful organizations for many years.…
“The Jacket” Fictional Narrative Assessment Gary Soto’s “The Jacket” tells the story of a jacket that the author received when he was in 6th grade. The jacket his mother lovingly purchased for him was NOT the kind of jacket he had asked for, and in his eyes, brought him three years of bad luck. Rewrite Soto’s personal narrative as if his mother HAD bought him the neat jacket - “like bikers wear: black leather and silver studs with enougt belts to hold down a small town.” Tell your version from the day the author sees the jacket on his bedpost, to the end of day when he first wore the new jacket to school. (Paragraphs 3-8) Hill have more confidence…

A recent article by CNN substantiates this assertion by revealing that African Americans and Hispanics are experiencing lower wages, household wealth, home ownership and higher unemployment in comparison to white Americans.…

There was a boy who for some reason did not want to do anything that day. He was mad and I could not figure out why. We had played games and colored but the boy was still not happy and didn’t talk much. Finally, we went outside and there was a “cozy car”, a red and yellow play car. I asked him if he wanted me to push him in it, he marched over and sat in the car and said nothing.…

Some schools already require their students to wear uniforms, but others are still deciding whether to make it mandatory or not.
