Why did you slap me Bree?” i said sitting up from my cozy bed. “Because your a emo freak and i don't want you in here when Julie and Jessy come here.” (Sorry if your name is Julie, Jessy, or Bree. i'm not implying anyone with that name is a total bitch) I rolled her eyes and got out of bed and grabbed my clothes for a shower and went to the…
Farley.Session1.Journal I use to look at teenagers dressed in all black or “Emo”, with blue or green colored hair, scars on their arm from cutting or other forms of self-harm or was listing to screaming music as teens that were just out of control. I see them as a threat to the public’s safety. I was very uneducated. My oldest daughter was having problems with her dad. They had a very disconnected relationship. To say the very least it was far from being healthy for either one of them. It…

Music has many effects on the brain. The brain’s ability to absorb and make sense of music is very complex. Regardless of musical style, when music is listened to the brain activates the regions that are involved with movement, memory, planning, and attention- which means that sound isn’t processed with ease. Music is more meaningful to it than any other sound due to it being organized, repetitive, and harmonious. Various types of music have diverse effects on the brain: classical music…
During the summer of 2017, my English teacher had several requirements that we had to complete over the course of the 2017 summer. Two of the Requirements politely asked us to read two novels, The Tortilla Curtain and Ceremony. These two books had many modern conflicts dealing with War, Immigration,Traditional medicine versus modern technology, and the general feelings towards the aliens of our culture. With all the controversy in these two books both books had a similar connection. Dante…
Chester 's Point of View: Imagine being soaked by the rain, cold and alone, from being ditched by your best friend at three in the morning. Not only that, but having to hitch-hike, knowing the next car that pulls over could be anyone. For all I knew, a serial killer or worse could be waiting for me, a little too willing to give me a ride. Thankfully, that wasn 't the case when a kind woman stopped and asked if I needed a ride, who turned out to be a fan. She picked me up, knowing where I needed…

profile you by; these thoughts and ideas are all founded upon prejudice. A person has been told or decided that someone with their pants sagging must be an affiliated gang member, a woman with short hair must be lesbian, someone wearing all black is Emo or suicidal and tattoos advocate or scream criminal. These types of preconceived opinions, profiling, are very difficult to change in a person’s mind. Many of the times these types acts and mentalities are deep-rooted from the time they are…
panic, and a sizable concern for the situation. When sounds occur in both novels, and real life, something happens to cause it, whether it be a person, or an inanimate object, it came out for a reason. People express their emotions to make a point, and Emo shows his disliking for Tayo towards the beginning of the novel with hateful remarks and insults with the fact that he(Tayo) is a native/white mixed individual. Leslie Marmon Silko demonstrates astonishing descriptions for the novel, by…
