    Realism, family having your back, and dysfunctional systems are connections I made from Stickup Kid to The Wire. The Wire uses a realistic approach where they tell real stories that have happened. Also, The Wire has characters that are ordinary citizens from Baltimore. For example, in The Wire, they chose to film in Baltimore, and they use characters that represent the police and criminals of Baltimore. Thus, The Wire radiates realism because the show, characters, plot, and setting all represent the struggles and stories of Baltimore.…

    Since everything has a start, the best way to explain anything, for the least amount of confusion, is to start at the very beginning. My question for the history books, is where did swing music come from? After research, since the United States is a relatively young country, I decided to extend my question to include the influence that the world has had on the development of swing music in the United States. The main source that will be used to discuss “swing” includes When Swing was the Thing by John R. Tumpak, this book is perfect for this paper because it talks about the rise of swing and the famous bandleaders, that from 1929-1935, worked to get swing popular. Another highly mentioned source is Swingin’ the Dream: Big Band Jazz and the Rebirth of American Culture by Lewis A. Erenburg, this author does a great job of setting the Jazz ground work that began with the band leaders in the previous book that paved the way for swing to really take off.…

    “Inactivity is associated with the tripling of childhood obesity since 1970” (Jarret). Recess could dramatically curb that number much lower then that of previous years. Since technology is taking over, most children spend the majority of their free time at home playing video games, watching television, or searching the web. Fifteen to twenty minutes of physical activity a day is all that most children need to stay physically fit and healthy. If not, the lack of physical activity could prove detrimental, and the childhood obesity rate could be, once again, on the rise.…
