    I'm getting a negative feeling from Jimmy Santiago Baca, “What is Broken Is What God Blesses,” foundation. The sound that underscores the visual and the sound of the pathetic lady of sixty come riding her corroded bike stress sympathy mirroring our endowments. From my perspective, eventhough the vitality of the sonnet originates from firsthand involvement, it loses its adjust. At the point when the creator expresses, the smashed divider that declares opportunity to the world, we work, we stress, we adore yet dependably with sympathy mirroring our endowments—in our brokenness flourishes life, flourishes light, flourishes the embodiment of our quality, all makes the lyric intriguing. In this effective lyric, Baca praises humankind in its blemish…

    Weeping in the Playtime of Others In reading Weeping in the Playtime of Others: America’s Incarcerated Children by Kenneth Wooden, I learned about the devastating, heartbreaking truths about how corrupt our juvenile legal system is. I knew there was probably some violence within the facilities, but I didn’t realize the extent of the torture and physical abuse the youth experienced within in the juvenile correctional facilities across America. I was shocked by the amount of youth that weren’t actually what we would consider criminals. These children were incarcerated because they were emotionally disturbed, mentally handicapped or because they ran away from home to escape a bad situation.…

    While my parents traveled to and from work everyday, there were a couple of songs they may have heard quite often due to their popularity. If they happened to be listening to the radio when I was born, they more than likely heard the number one song “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith (“Birthday No #1.”), which won the MTV Movie Award for Best Song from a Movie (“Aerosmith Awards.”). Diane Warren, the songwriter, became nominated for an Oscar for the Best Music from an Original Song, won the ASCAP Award for Most Performed Songs from Motion Pictures, and was even nominated for the Grammy Best Song written Specifically for Motion Picture or for Television (“Diane Warren Awards.”). Other songs they may have heard could have been “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John or even “Truly Madly Deeply” by Savage Garden ("90s Hits – Billboard #1s.”). Other than listening to songs, my parents often found themselves sitting on a comfortable couch watching a hit TV show.…

    Mulan presents a very accurate representation of the gender and identity issues that many women in today’s society endure. What many do not understand about gender is that “gender differences are a ‘socialized but relatively fixed identity, organized around biological sex.’” (Eisenberg) The very first song in the movie, “Honor to Us All,” displays the characteristics a woman should have, as fixed by society. More specifically, the song details the characteristics a woman should have in order to attain a husband, as if that is the only goal a woman should have, and this will honor her family.…
