Spoiled Rotten: Parents give, Children take, Everyone loses Watching a Netflix documentary “Living on One Dollar” last winter with my family made us reevaluate how we were living our lives. My husband and I grew up in single parent homes and my husband, born and raised in Mexico, especially knew what it was like to live life below the line of poverty. My 7 year-old son on the other hand had a different point of view. Being into Bear Grylls from “Man vs. Wild,” my son saw the people living in…

Gatsby was unable to reach a happy ending because he could not let go of what was long gone. By chasing his dream of Daisy and trying to…

Billie Jean is a teenager’s fantasy. Well, maybe an ‘80s-era teenager; there’s a good chance that kids nowadays will roll their eyes at some of what happens in this movie, much like I myself did as I was watching it today. I’m not saying this 1985 film is totally worthless. In fact, there were things about it that I really liked. But for the most part, The Legend of Billie Jean is pretty damn silly. Billie Jean Davy (Helen Slater) and her younger brother Binx (Christian Slater) live with their…

Watching the documentary, Free speech for Sale was very enlightening. The documentary spoke about how the media was bought and paid for(Moyers). The majority of television is owned by only a handful of networks. This means multiple stations are owned by the same company, with the same agenda.

The feedback that I received from my peer review was somewhat helpful. This is because some of the feedback that I received was unhelpful feedback that I knew that I needed to complete such as…

The peer-review was helpful to me, although my essays were not perfect, this help me to correct my errors. It was difficult to do the essays to me, but I was doing the most that I can. I gave all my effort to do the essays. Peer-review helped me to do the MLA format, how to summarize paragraphs, and used rhetorical appeals. In narrative essay was the most difficult to me. When the professor told me that I needed to do my essay in MLA format I get lost. I never heard that. I do the entire essay…

complaints have come about over how accurate the film was in portraying Soloman’s account. For example, the first death in the movie was about a man who wanted to stop a white sailor from hurting a female prisoner. The sailor stabbed him, but it was not in the book. In fact, killing the slave would be foolish since they are expensive since they often work for no pay for the rest of their hard lives. Even so, many critics and historians have praised the film for accurately portraying slavery. The…
