Suddenly my window breaks ,glass shatters everywhere ,I see what was thrown “ Una lanza” weird shape, holes over it ,and bonely looking. “Laka ya vamonos.”She didn’t even let me take stuff. “Whats happening” I say. “ Laka Callate go to the bus now!” I listened and went down the stairs and out to the…

Song analysis The song “No Makeup” (her voice) by Kendrick Lamar is dedicated to women named Keisha. Throughout Kendrick’s music he implies that Keisha is a prostitute. In this song Kendrick is trying to explain to her that she doesn’t need make up to cover up her flaws or “imperfections”. This song is told by two different perspectives: Kendrick, and Keisha. In “No Makeup” Kendrick uses a lot of assonances, imagery and symbolism to create a deeper understanding to the story he’s really…

BEEP!!!! BEEP!!!! BEEP!!!! Kristina's alarm went off, as Kristina was still in bed struggling to get up. BANG!!!!

Then her mom yells “KRISTINA YOU HAVE SCHOOL GET UP!!!!!!!” Kristina lifts her head up a little bit and in a ghost like whispers says “I know thats why im sleeping” Kristina's…

“So you want to go out or whatever?” Seven months ago I asked that question. Never really thought that asking that question would have changed my life you could say. This speech is about my girlfriend Makayla which most of you may know her. Our comparisons……She has really made an impact on me in the past year actually. From the short talks, long talks, the arguing, the laughing and making fun of each other. Having things in common is very good for relationships. Makayla and I have a lot in…

Aspiration and Ambition Ambition is a factor that has affected many individual’s lives throughout history. Some people say that ambition is healthy for individuals and it causes a drive for improvement, and while this may be true, others will argue that it leads to a sense of self-entitlement from controlling others. The desire for success is a struggle for individuals throughout all stages of life, and it can often go awry when selfish intents begin to take hold and change their moral codes. If…

Can You Hear Me? Last week when I was trying to sleep, I kept hearing a voice. It made me smile. I am always alone, stuck in the house with my mother. She is scared to let me leave. She tells me that the world is a bad place, that it is dangerous. She doesn’t let me out of her sight. The woman who was talking to me kept telling me to scream, so I did. Momma raced into my room, and asked me what was wrong, and I told her about the lady. She told me not to worry, that I was all alone, and to go…

“This is it,” Seth said. “That’s him, the guy who was with Kayla, she’s got to be around here somewhere. She was frolicking about the entire lobby area for most of the time we all stood in line.” A minute past, but the girl was not seen in the video. Then Seth showed up. He got in line behind the gentleman whilst holding a case of beer. He could be seen beginning to look around in the black and white recording, then his head stopped turning and he stared seemingly amused over something. Still…

Friday, March 10, 2017, Henry enters the lunchroom, running to find Josh. “Josh… Josh! You are never going to believe what I found!” Henry says with excitement. “A concert flyer?” Josh guesses. “Not just any concert flyer. It’s for my favorite band, For King and Country!” catching his breathe, Henry shows Josh the flyer. “They’re selling tickets today. We need to get some.” He begs to Josh. Josh looks at Henry curiously, “Wait, you want me to go with you?” “Yes, I want to share this experience…

My mama, then repeatedly whispered to me that everything was going to alright… That it was all over now, but it didn’t matter. I was inconsolable. Casper, who I stilled carried and was nestled in between us let out a little, soft meow abruptly catching me off guard and making me smile and laugh a little. With my breathing still hitching I raised him up to my face to feel the warmth of his fur on my skin. “You’d think that after seventeen years of selfishly keeping her to yourself you…

Twenty-five minutes later, I arrive at my home the cab parks in the driveway of my house. “Welcome home, maim. Thanks for choosing Yellow Cab,” He says, boastfully. “Oh yes, I enjoyed being choked to death by the goddamn air freshener, asshole.” I leave the cab, taking my bag and the cab drives off. He doesn’t say anything he just stares at me in disbelief. I sit my bag on the driveway and look around my neighborhood that’s illuminated by street lights. I stretch both my arms out all the…
