Christina Milian

Both Christina Rossetti and Audre Lorde have written each a poem in which the central theme is of a recurring memory of a time past. Their poems use a variety of literary devices that involves the reader in experiencing the occurring memory of a past time with the speaker of the poem. Through this involvement, between the reader and the voice, the poems misleads the reader into being captured by their dream like state that makes the reader misread the inconsistencies within them. This essay will…

just know that you knew I was different. Why do you keep saying that? He asked. Justin, in the months that I have known you I watched you like an eagle. I knew what you would do before you did it. I knew when you broke it off with the other girl you were seeing besides crystal, I knew when you felt like you were losing everything and trying to blame Britney or Crystal for his and I knew the moment you feel in love with me and decided to change. I also knew when you found out that I was not…

representations in the music video is that Christina Aguilera showed that no matter how you are what you believe in, that you are beautiful. For example, in the video there were two men who were kissing and holding hands in public. Another one is when there was a guy putting a bra on when he was changing. In this song she sings, “You 're beautiful, no matter what they say, words can 't bring you down, oh no, you 're beautiful, in every single way” (Aguilera). Christina mixes the video with the…

The one place that affected me as a person and who I am today was Jamaica, the place where I was born, the place where I struggled and cried, and the place I call home. Growing up on a small property in Clarendon, Jamaica, I had both mom and dad at my corner loving me. My mother Maureen Rose was a maid who cleaned for wealthy people for minimum wage. My father on the other hand was a welder who worked at a factory and came home every day smelling like oil. I then was a young six years old to be…

Be small, don’t make waves, you are not a hurricane. Small, small, quiet now. Am I good? I don’t deserve this, no I shouldn’t, I’m not good enough- there’s a better choice out there. Cain. Able. I am Cain, she is Able. I am selfish. Rotten, wicked, hark! I am good. Guilt is my poison, engrained, planted, and tendered since I was small. The seed was sown in the everyday happenings of childhood, and circumstances later watered and coxed it to set root, and likewise, entwined with my being. I…

I found this passage very interesting because when I typically think of rhetoric, my mind automatically associates it with the goal of persuasion; I never made, or at the least acknowledged, the connection between rhetoric and attitude. I particularly like Burke’s use of the words move and bend in order to textually describe the change from viewing rhetoric as just a means of persuasion, to perceiving it as a means of shaping one’s inclination. After reading this passage, I have come to realize…

9th Grade Summer Reading Project The page I am analyzing is the page where Phadrig reunites with his brother. In the upper half of the page are 4 panels to show what happened before the fifth panel which takes up the entire page. The author uses this style in many different pages. I think this is interesting because it looks nice and shows what leads up to what might be a major point in the story. There are not many bright colors on the page because it is not in the emerald…
