Dirty bomb

As a bomb destroys a city and wipes out all of its inhabitants, the truth can crush people’s relationships, severely hurt their feelings, and just feel cold and heartless. This entire ordeal commenced one day in late January. In all honesty, I can really see the truth behind the idea of The Butterfly Effect now that I look back upon these events. Had Rayne never began making hand signals at me, this story never would’ve been possible. As I was saying, one cold, wintery day in late January, I…

Ayeena Aleah M. Dicali English 27 – Z Sir Andre Dominic Peralta Mainstream Media: Misleading News Leads to Further Stigmatization of Muslims Inequality and Stereotypes among Races, Religions and Islamophobia Ever since the birth of capitalism and modern humans, races and religions were never equal. White is superior than black, Hispanics are illegal masters, African Americans are violent and Muslims are terrorists. These stereotypes are harmless when privatized but may cause serious effects…

The director Steven Soderbergh goal was to show all sides of the drug trafficking work, from the poor, to the rich, to the king pin drug dealers. He aimed to show what the real root cause of drug trafficking is and what is the evils of drugs can be. This film portrayed all aspects equally and his point was strong and extremely powerful; some of scenes seemed dreadfully stereotypical and not fair to Mexican people, Black people, and even white females. The cinematography use of color in this…

“15 Gone” FADE IN: EXT. PLAYGROUND - DAY SUPER 15 Years Ago Children and parents alike bustle around the merry go round, slides and swings. A woman walks with her 10 year old son past the monkey bars. The young boy, ADRIAN, looks like your average happy 10 year old as he holds his mother’s hand and takes sips out of his juice box. His mother, a pretty woman in her early thirties, stares at the other families with a husband and wife monitoring each child and then stares back at her son…

Michael Cunningham’s effective use of language and style reflect and further the opinions he voices within “Specimen Days”. He shares three interrelated stories set in New York City in the past, present and imagined future. It includes three creative takes on Walt Whitman and the stories are bound together by recurring devices. This approach is effective because the audience gets three different takes on Whitman, during three different times, with similar occurrences that bring them all together…

The world runs on energy. Very few of us would be alive today if it weren 't for the creation of electricity, a creation that has not only changed the world, but is the first technology to bring us beyond. It has quite literally powered everything since the second industrial revolution. With the strong demand by humans to secure energy came the strong desperation to obtain more of it. We quickly needed it for almost every aspect of modern society. Technology spurs from desperation. We quickly…

Privilege is a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular group of people. The United States is what most people would consider a very privileged people. However, most of us do not think that is so. That is because we do not get what we want the moment we ask it. If only we could really see how privileged we are because other people in this world suffer so much. Like the quote that says if the whole world will throw away all their problems into one pile…

“Can’t we stop for a moment? Hide in a shop maybe?” Jack panted as three teenagers slowed to a quick walk down a Berlin street. David and Hannah hurried along behind Jack while scolding him for such and absurd idea. They couldn’t stop until they reached safety. Running from a gestapo was difficult work and it would be too long before they could find a safe house or forest to duck into. They were Jews which somehow made them criminals in their world of 1940 Germany. Another threat was the…

Looking back at the memories with my grandparents now, the words that come to mind are “home cooking and warm embrace”. Can’t picture grandma and grandpa doing hard time for murder. Just can’t seem to process people in their 60’s and 70’s as being hard cold criminals. They should be on some porch somewhere enjoying the sunrise with a cup of hot coffee. How we easily forget that before we become old and wise we must first be young and stupid. However, for the men and women who are currently…

obedience, dogs have greater potential than cats and are much more helpful and useful animals. Dogs work on farms and as service dogs for the blind, handicapped, police, and military! They can smell out metals in certain weapons, gun powder, drugs, bombs, and even cancer! Dogs can tell if someone is about to have a seizure or an allergic reaction. They are also being taught to use technology to contact 911 and to take selfies. These selfless pets are even saving endangered species by tracking…
