Monologue Girl Child

Improved Essays
In a world of modern technology and media influence, one child existed. We shall call him Boi. Sitting in his mom’s hot car, 13-year-old Boi listened to the radio and the commercials that followed. One particular commercial made his ears perk:
“Use the new miracle medicine Protikeene to relieve your allergy symptoms permanently! Protikeene should be taken once per morning. Just a dab'll do. Do not overdose or your symptoms will be multiplied.”
As somebody who has had terrible allergies his whole life, ginger-haired Boi was very excited to hear something like this.
“Mom, I need this!”
Boi’s mother just nodded her head, showing that she agreed with his need for the medicine. The following day Boi and his mom traveled to the nearest pharmacy to pick up the “miracle medicine”. It was lemon-flavored; not Boi’s favorite, but he is picky about mostly everything anyway. At birth, his allergies had weakened

Against the rules, they took out their phones and recorded and posted the scene to their social media accounts. Boi knew exactly what happened. Unfortunately, Boi used too much Protikeene.
He shouted, almost in tears, “I thought just a dab will do!!!”
And that is what the kids captioned their photos.
“Just a Dab” with Boi’s face on it spread across the social medias and websites at their middle school. Becoming almost an icon, not for a good reason, Boi was sad at the thought so many people are laughing at him. To Boi’s despair, the “Dab” was trending like never before. Not just at his school, but others too! Soon, his sneeze-move changed from a joke to an actual dance. Kids and adults hopped on the trend, marketing the dance move on mugs, shirts, hats, you name it. “Dabbing”, the art of one person placing their head in their arm with the other in the air, has evolved into the cultural icon we know today. Whether you love it or hate it, there is one thing that is true: Boi was making money left and

    Who would not want a pill that altered how your brain works, also rumored to be a squip, that was meant to make the person who consumes it cooler than they have ever been? Jeremy Heere is informed about this pill, known as a squip, so he knows he needs to get his hands on one in order to become one of the “cool kids” because he is nerdy and shy.

    The representation of Rave and Drug culture from the 1980’s and why it has always been associated together and how this sparks Moral Panics In this essay I will investigate how rave culture caused such a moral panic and why it was (and still is) thought to be so closely linked with drug use, especially the intake of Ecstasy. Techno music (House) and MDMA would both have survived without each other, but their marriage was mutually beneficial; together they gave birth to rave culture. Rave culture started in the 1980’s, with the development of acid house, dance music and clubbing. Although this sub culture has always been seen in a negative way it transformed club culture by turning it into a global force that influences every pop genre.…

    Spring is one of my favorite seasons. Everyone is getting out of that winter slump, the plants are coming back to life, and the birds are singing. But in the midst of the pretty flowers and baby bunnies, comes the dreaded seasonal allergies. For myself, this means rubbing my eyes until it looks like I’ve just watched a heartbreaking romantic comedy, sneezing so powerfully that it physically hurts, and itching my nose and giving myself a lovely (insert sarcasm here) horizontal crease. Allergies drive me crazy, but at the same time, I’m amazed at how it works and the reason behind having allergies.…
