While trying to cross a 4-lane road, I was t-boned by an older lady who was texting while driving. I didn’t see her and she said she didn’t see me. I was literally two minutes away from Chick-fil-a when I was hit. After the accident I was emotionally distraught, I didn’t know what to do. My friends…
Most of the time, I identify myself as an average teenage girl. A girl that is not the best at driving and likes to eat a lot of Chick-Fil-A. But then I remind myself that I am not average; I am anything but average. I have already overcome major obstacles in my life that other students my age probably have never even thought about. Being a child of a recovering alcoholic and a victim of foreclosure, I have a different outlook on the world. I see the different opportunities I am given every day…
I am an attendant at Chick-fil-a, I don’t think I have any specific title because I am pretty much doing everything, whether it is working with the cash registers or working in the kitchen.

Chick-fil-A and McCoy’s Building Supply Center are two companies that have over two billions dollars in sales annually (Schermerhorn, J., 2012). Although these companies are involved in different industries, they have a few things in common. They both…
Like It Hot and White Chicks incorporates the idea of androgyny, simultaneously being a male and female, as Brandon French describes (On the Verge of Revolt, 138). For example, the main characters’ transformation as women show that masculinity and femininity exist as a “sliding scale”. In Some Like It Hot, masculinity is symbolized by the presence of gangsters, alcohol, and guns, while femininity is symbolized by the girls’ band, love, and the music itself. In White Chicks, masculinity is…

It was September 26, 2014, the night of the biggest high school football game in Albany, GA between Westover and Monroe. During my biology lecture class, my friend and I contemplated driving home for the game. I had not seen my sister cheer all last semester. I decided this would be the perfect time to surprise her. High school rivalry games are always great opportunities for returning alumni to meet up with old friends and flaunt themselves, usually in the latest styles, to make an impression…
There are two perspectives that can be used to examine the account of Beyonce’s impact on the communication of popular culture and identity.

These two perspectives help to give a better understanding of how to examine both the account of Beyonce’s performance, as well as the performance itself.
