Dirty Dancing

this has led to many a times rifts and disturbances in the family. Whatever we tried to do, we were dragged down into the same situation year after year. This time, it took a very dirty turn and it was very important that we break this yolk. So this…

hundred bucks?” Asked Crocks. “Yes! During the five weeks that I was missing, I helped them with their farm. The old lady has gotten worse. Her husband couldn’t take care of the farm and her at the same time, so when he saw me on the streets all dirty and hungry, he said he will feed me and give me shelter as long as I will work on his farm. So I stayed, until…” his voice got quieter, “Until one day, when I went outside to have some time to myself, Curley and his men have beaten me up.” George…

for me and my men!" She made her way to them filling their cups avoiding their perverted words and their lustful gazes. Agape was a beautiful girl, although she would never admit it. Her amber hair and her icey blue eyes were captivating, but the dirty rags she wore was the only thing she seen or noticed about herself. She finally pulled away from the cutthroats by her mother. Agapes mother pulled her aside, " Never go near those men promise me!" Agape swore and obeyed her mother by avoiding the…

While preforming the required community service hours for this coursework, as students we were also asked to read a few articles using SAGE Journals that are related to our experience. The service that I preformed was completed in my own community and found these next three articles appropriate for the services. The first article is an entry from James Griffith’s “A Decade of Helping: Community Service Among Recent High School Graduates Attending College”. Followed by “Volunteer Engagement and…

Born Under a Bad Sign I was born into this world on the darkest night. One lost soul passed and another lost soul was born to wander the path in her place. Sometimes, I think back to that night and what she must have looked like, how her breast must have felt, rising and falling with its last breaths. What was it like, to finally exhale, finally pass, nice and peaceful, on to somewhere and have a place to belong? Once, I asked our matron after I’d taken my rations from her, and Mrs. Brewer put a…

I got this idea for the creative response from some pictures I saw on a website called Tumblr. I saw a picture of someone creating art in a book and I thought i’d give it a go. I did plenty of research to ensure the creative task was accurate and relevant to the 1980s. This includes doing extensive research in finding out what the social values were at the time and the opinions of people at the time, especially young people. Also, because my main chosen topic to focus on is music, I did lots of…

Freedoms such as being able to vote, express them-selves, and gain a sense of respect from others. Not only was fashion a piece of material back in the 1920’s, but also a form of movement. With the turn of the decade and fashion, women were able to speak for them-selves whether their voices were seen or heard as negative or positive. The Flapper image became negative for the elders but the image allowed young women to be able to grow out of that stage into mature women. Wanting to move out due…

On a casual morning where puffs of clouds laid across the blue saturated skies in Salerno Italy, a mandolin was playing live, matching the rhythm of the snare pops and door bells. Mail being tossed on the steps, played on beat with music as if the mail clapping the was percussion from the castanets. The busy people of this small city where bass, placing one foot after there other on beat of the clear music, on there way to the beaches, shopping stores, and there neighbors house. A window of a…

My room was never clean no matter who was coming over or how old I was. There was something pleasantly dysfunctional about every inch of its crowded space. Sports trophies sat next to barbie dolls. Stuffed animals leaned against boy band posters. Dirty clothes lay on top of yoga mats. I kept candy in my sock drawer. It was so wrong, it had to be…

As technology has gotten better and more console varieties have come out, video games have become a huge part of people’s lives. Over sixty-five percent of households in the U.S., play video games. The average time spent people use playing video games is around eighteen hours per week. Though this is the average, there are larger percentages, especially close to the teenage years and younger.
