Emo

alcohol. Alcohol, was quite literally, a virus that was brought over from the old world. Alcoholism was so contractible because it was easily accessible and and the tolerance was hereditarily low. (You drink like an Indian,”(p 58). This insult from Emo to Tayo is insinuating that drinking like an Indian is a bad thing, proof that alcoholism was a norm for Indian’s at the time. Throughout Ceremony, Tayo’s native brain is being infected by the white culture, and while he had not succumbed to it…

Should canada and america have common economic system w/ lil gov involvement tldr; nah fam we good where we are lmao I just find it funny how in one country we criticize one economic system and encourage another, and it’s usually the opposite in a country right next to it. I’m talking mainly about Canada and the United States, of course. I mean, for the sake of the essay, I’ll write my opinion on this but it’ll be pretty shady and biased since I live in Canada and we have a mixed economy. So…

CHAPTER ONE Elephant Droppings Three hours before I vanished, I was in science class constructing a model of Mount Everest from common chemical components. When I finished, I stepped back to admire my creation. It was amazing. It looked like a cross between a glob of taupe foam and elephant droppings that had been patted into shape. It was almost perfect, except for one key ingredient. “You forgot the gray food coloring,” my temporary partner—tall, slender, snooty—Madison Mills snapped. “Oh,” I…

The way I see it everyone has a 'who am I' or a 'who do I want to be' phase. For some people this phase can happen in grade school, for others it could happen after something tragic ,and for some it just never happens. No one wants to regret their choices in life. They want to cherish every single moment. Yet, some people think rushing through life, will solve everything. They rush to get into college, to get a job, to find a person to start a family with, and to please everyone. This not the…

Everyone can encounter prejudice, stereotypes, and propaganda. Everyone does it all the time. Reasons? I do not know, everyone has their own reasons for what they do. There are plenty of types, examples, and real life experiences from myself. The first topic of choice is prejudice. Prejudice is pre judging someone or something. There is age, religious, ethnic, national, physical, disability, gender economic, and racial prejudice. An example of age prejudice is going to a haunted house with a…

body piercings and colorful hair extensions and gloves. I also wearing gauges in my ears instead of wearing earrings. I started straightening my hair more rather than wearing it naturally and also cut it so it will look more flippy and sharp like the emo style was at the time. I also tried dying my hair red at one point. I started experimenting…

first boyfriend and it changed my focus. I’m not going to go into much detail but he forced my friend to do some things against her will, and he did the same thing to me. So just like any other emotionally messed up middle schooler I went through my emo phase. I also forgot about how amazing life really is. I can’t blame myself for not staying positive, but after experiencing that negative time period, I’ve been able to learn more about myself. I’ve also been able to appreciate my…

THE HIPPIES CHALLENGED THE SOCIAL STRUCTURES AND VALUES OF AMERICA IN THE 1960’S A ‘hippie’ can be defined as someone of an alternative appearance and typically ‘associated with a subculture involving the rejection of conventional values.’ The hippies challenged various aspects of American society in the 1960’s, including their mainstream culture and ‘The Establishment.’ They ‘believed the dominant mainstream culture was corrupt and inherently flawed and sought to replace it with a utopian…

their way of dress is inappropriate for their age group. They are trying to stay up on the latest fashion trends and impress their peers by what they wear. Then there are the not-so-typical teenagers, who dress, as we like to say ‘differently’: Goth, Emo, Punk Rock, etc. All of these teenagers identify who they are with their clothing. But it is the clothing that gives the first impression on everyone in the world. Their clothing is what their student peers are looking at and are automatically…

Black Veil Brides are definitely not meant to be thought about too much. Joe made a new document - a list of the songs we wanted to hear. I was fairly new to the band at the time and didn’t know some of the songs that Marli added, but of course tiny, emo, very-uncool me pretended like I…
