Both of these factors stated by Halas in her novel “Why Can’t A Woman Be More Like A Man?” are ones that make men frustrated with women usually, since they’re constantly having to…

book to a lot of friends and family to read, because you can learn so much about yourself by reading each chapter. I also learned so much about myself. Most of the topics we discussed in class were very interesting to me. From chapter seven emotional messages really hit home for me, because most of the chapter was talking about many things I was dealing with right now. Sometimes I have a fear of expressing my emotions in relationship, because I always think so negative when it comes to…

rap songs to us during the 1980s and the new millennium. However, I only recalled him playing only one rap song from the 1990s: Snoop Doggy Dog’s “Serial Killa”.

of the sweetest, sensitive and loyal breed of dogs I have ever met. Believe me when I say it shocks me,probably more than anyone, to see someone act scared when they see them. This is actually what led me to the thought of why are Pit Bulls the only breed to be known as, “The Fighting Dogs”. It had me wondering why every time I walk my dogs someone would act scared when they see them? It is something that has made me angry beyond belief that people are so uneducated aboutdogs and automatically…

Why is it that when I see another black student, their eyes look at me in amazement to say, “I can’t believe I’m not alone”. Or when I see another black male automatically we nod our heads as to say, “WASSUP my brother!”. One of my white friends witnessed this and gasped saying, “do you even know him?”. I just smirked…
