I read two stories one named Confetti Girl by Diana López and the other Tortilla Sun by Jennifer Cervantes these stories were very similar. The narrator's point of view was very different from their parents point of view. Which could be a good thing or a bad thing. The narrator’s disagree with there parents causing tension throughout the family. The tension in the two stories are very different, but they still have the same concept. In the story “Confetti Girl” she has caused conflict/tension…

The moment that Hawaii Five-O aired on TV when I was 12, I knew that I would be able to count on watching it with my family every time it aired. We put aside our individual tasks and problems and gathered around the TV every Friday to watch Five-O. The shows characters gave prominent examples of leadership, honor, and morals, and many lessons from the show still stick with me today. Hawaii Five-O taught me a lot of things about family and what’s really important, and it brought me closer to my…

thin as a strand of hair. I’ll hear people blabbing above me on the streets how awful it was that I, “Stole the lives of so many innocent people.” WELL LISTEN HERE! I do not decide when it’s time for someone to part, that is in the hands of the three fates. They decided when the string of life is due to be cut. I on the other hand, have the honors…

Typically in stories we see mothers painted in one of two lights, the first being the all American, doting, and loving mother, the second at times unfavorable or cold. Rarely does the reader get the see the character for both their good and bad in blatant truth. In Tillie Olsen’s I Stand Here Ironing the narrator makes herself transparent to the reader and allows us to see her for exactly who she has been throughout her journey of motherhood, flaws and all. In this story, we meet a mother of…

For one family a snow day will bring out the best in them and the worst in them. They will get to experience several emotions. Family is everything, and regardless of what they do or how they act , there is always going to be a special bond between family. "Let it Snow" by David Sedaris was a powerful story because the plot was dysfunctional, amusing, and through everything he showed a family that was loving and devoted to one another. Dysfunctional is definitely a true description…

Everyone is given a name at birth that is unique and special to each individual. This title travels with them wherever they may go and whatever they may do. Malia Hi’ilani Mae Kema was the verbal gift given to me the day I was born. It is a name that I hold dear to my heart because it carries the love of my ancestors. My Hawaiian heritage is the first thing someone sees when they look at me and the first thing that is spoken when they utter my name. My father has taught me to be proud of my…

Parents are like superheroes of their children “after seeing my mother 's disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die” (Schillb). Effective parenting is being aware of your children; listening to your children, monitoring their physical health, but the utmost, helping their emotional health. In the end, most parents just want to provide for their children and take care of them. Some parents are not active enough in their children 's life, or some take it too far. The Mother…

My day started waking up extraordinarily early in a splendid five star hotel from an extremely comfortable and pulpy bed complimented with heavenly pillows. This joyful day fills my body with excitement and replays in my mind as if it had happened for the first time. This wasn’t your average birthday present, no not some gift card to GameStop, not some pair of Stephen Curry’s, not even the next Call Of Duty game. The exact moment these words accessed my ears I almost passed out my parents had…

In Kindergarten In kindergarten we had a sub. There were two mackenna´s in the class and the sub called me the other mackenna. And I know that seemed childish but it really changed me because after that I really felt like someone else like some other person and now I just want to go by Makenzie because of what happened. And I want to be called that for the rest of my life because, when people call me mackenna I feel like i'm not me.I don't feel like i am myself anymore. The reason I felt that…

Negative Effects of Media in the United States Although US media originally started as entertainment or biased news, the impact of it is becoming a substantial problem because of misrepresentation. The main purpose of the media is to inform people by choosing what is important and then providing the information; however, the way it fulfills its purpose in the modern world is detrimental to the overall knowledge of the public. Modern media is a problem because of how it frames issues, focuses on…
