It’s Columbus Day. People are relaxing because they have the day off. They’re not worrying about anything. But, not knowing the horrifying history of this national holiday. Columbus Day is about an Italian explorer named Christopher Columbus. He was the founder of the New World, “they” say, even though he wasn’t the first European to come to the New World. Vikings arrived 500 years before he did. But then, Columbus came and took land from the Native Americans and claimed that he found it first.…

America is known for “land of the free” and it proves the main idea of how this world we live in works, by that it provides access to the American Dream. Americans should believe in what they want and do what they want to make themselves successful because someone will always try to level down another person. Improve life without negative comments. In Barack Obama’s speech, he says “We can make the right choices and meet the challenges that face us.” They know they have to work hard to get…

When asked a question like what subculture I am a member of, I get perplexed. Being able to identify your own culture or subculture is as difficult as identifying your own accent, most just never notice it and feel everyone else is the one who has one. I actually Googled if there is a name for a person who does not belong to, or cannot readily identify their subculture, to no avail. I am one of these individuals. I do not “fit” into any subculture that I have ever encountered. I was a “clique…

1) How was Walter portrayed differently by the two male actors (Poitier and Combs)? For this particular question I will be comparing the portrayal of Walter in both the 1962 and the 2008 movie. In the most recent version of A Raisin in the Sun, Sean Combs played Walter. However, I do not feel as though was right for the part. Combs seemed to not have enough emotion in his acting and it was though he was acting incredibly casual and calm, which is NOT how Walter Lee is. For example, in the…

“It was all just big joke!, I’ve should’ve known a girl like me could never fit in with a group of people like them." It was a fun and games until Senró Ines handed me the items of mortification. This is what I receive for being “the best behaved” and so I thought. I helped them hand out cake, assisted them with the hotdogs and put up with Luciana’s cousin. “You and your mother do your homework together?” asked the girl the bow, giggling. She was no different than Regina George, but she…

I enter the music room really nervous about asking Mia to the Yo-Yo Ma concert, What if she say “No”. I mean I have done this other time so why am I nervous so I am just going to ask her, “Have you heard of the Yo-Yo Ma dude?”. She rolls her eyes and say “Everyone’s heard of the Yo-Yo Ma.” I grin and hooked my ringed thumb out toward the quad, “I don’t think you’ll find five people out there who’ve heard of YO-YO Ma. And by the way, what kind of the name is that? Is it ghetto or something? Yo Ma…

Picking a job can be quite hard and confusing. It takes a lot of thinking and preparing for a job and what you would like to be. Going into a job one must know the skills it needs to have, if you don't know how to work with the career then maybe you should rethink a different career. Looking over the payment and how good they have been rated is also a good thing to look into. A good job that makes good payment and that also helps people is a Physical Therapist. Looking at jobs, a good job is…

*** Ponyboy's P.O.V.*** The best thing about being in a gang like ours, is you get to know each other real well. Sometimes too well. Like what annoys each other. Since we we're so close we hardly ever fight with each other. Today was of those day however, where we didn't get along. I'm not sure how it started really. Things had been alright, then suddenly turned bad and got worse. It had been a normal Sunday for the gang. Connie had gone off to church like she does every Sunday…

Glittering sunlight bathed the world below it in shades of gold. The smell of stagnant water and juniper lingered in the air. Gleaming water flowed into Lake Billy Chinook from the Dechutes, Crooked and Metolius. All mixing together to form a long ended valley full of ultramarine agua that was often much too cold to swim in; But I did not care. Splash. Euphonious sounds of laughter and boat engines running rings through the valley, bringing nothing but a colossal smile much too large for my…

Zombie Apocalypse Around 10 a.m. I woke up, stretched and brushed my teeth. I turned on my television, like my daily routine. Well, today was different. Every channel displayed, “Breaking News: ‘Evacuate your homes now and get to a safe location, a zombie apocalypse has started and is coming to an area near you’”. The first three things I decided I needed to do were a zombie apocalypse would be to gather my family who were uninfected, run out of town, and find someone creating an antidote. It…
