Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut, "Reservoir Dogs," has remained a part of my top ten films since I first saw it a few years ago, and having just finished the crime classic again, I'd like to share my views and reflections on its thrilling story. As a stunning debut from an unknown director at the time, "Reservoir Dogs" has become a staple of the massive genre of crime films. This film also introduced Quentin Tarantino's trademark direction style, displaying controversial dark humor, well…

Consumerism: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Why are we as a country convinced that the more money and material possessions we have the happier we’d be? Working at Target I have a front row view to the overconsumption we don’t even realize we do. The amount of food we buy just to be thrown away, the amount of furniture we try to make room for and the amount of on sale items we couldn’t pass up. Target Corporation is only set up for one reason, for consumption. The line between need and want…

the Roman roads. Following this further, we now have a chance to meet new people and share new ideas. Roads have provided a better way of communication and more interacting with others (social contact). Cars in some parts of Europe still drive in freeways…

He was in his 1987 Hyundai Excel when he was drunk driving along the Foothill Freeway in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles with his two friends. It was reported that king alcohol level was about 0.19% while he was driving. State laws in Los Angeles shows that your blood level has to be a 0.08% in order to operate a vehicle.

There have been many scandals in the history of rock and roll. One that always comes to mind is the tragedy of the Altamont Speedway Free Festival in California on December 6, 1969. Many thought it would be the next Woodstock and in some ways it was. Approximately 300,000 fans attended and there were many acts scheduled such as Jefferson Airplane, Santana, and CSNY, with the Rolling Stones as the final act. Grateful Dead was scheduled to play, but cancelled just prior to stage time because of…

Understanding my racial identity was always a challenge for me until college. From kindergarten until second grade my younger brother and I attended a very small private school in Georgia. The entire school consisted of about fifty students, and out of those fifty students there were only three Black students, including my brother and I. During that time I began to understand that I was different, I knew I was brown, and they were not but I did not fully understand what our differences meant. My…

Who am I? “Unlike a drop of water which loses it identity when it joins ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man’s life is Independent. He’s born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self” (B.R. Ambedkar) Author Christina Henriquez in her book, “The book of unknown Americans” speaks about identity and the different experiences of various immigrants. The characters everyday activities are given with their past which explains…

illegal immigrants. Say these immigrants leave the states, America would have an extra $10.2 billion dollars to disperse on school systems with an excess amount of students, hospitals that went bankrupt, and prisons that were overrun. America’s freeway would become cleaner and congestion would decrease, many Americans would be happy to go back to having English as the dominate language here in the United States, but here’s the reason America will never go back to the way things were in the past…

Chevy vs. Ford Below is a comparison of two similar trucks for a first-time potential purchaser of a brand new standard truck. Chevy and Ford have been manufacturing cars and trucks for over 100 years. Now that the consumer has narrowed the choices down to a standard Ford F150 Super Cab or a Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, the difference between the two needs to be established. Both trucks appear to be equivalent to the untrained eye. Each of the manufacturers has a solid history and reputation.…

The Knowledge of English is Imperative for Immigrants What is the American identity? America developed from immigrants who laid the principal foundations upon which this nation was born. And now immigrants must still help progress this nation; however, true progress can only be achieved by those who have a firm grasp of the language of their new country.
