The boy with the hairspray is telling the other boy that the hairspray will not catch on fire because the container says that it is “inflammable”. While the boys think that the hairspray will not catch on fire, the hairspray will immediately catch on fire once the match touches the hairspray. Similar to the Simpsons, the boys could seriously injure themselves or start a fire. To avoid confusion, most canisters…

Miss Amazing celebrates the abilities of women and girls with disabilities. Each young women brought a new spirit and ambition for life. Their positive attitudes overpowered their disabilities, and I was able to see each girl not for her disability,…
The school bus is not very pleasant, and neither is riding it. While on my way home in fifth-grade one particularly humid spring afternoon, the air in the bus pressed down my chest and covered my skin in a thin layer of sweat. My glasses slid down my flat nose and my thick, dark hair eventually plastered itself to my sticky neck. The bus was a toaster.

People like me have to get off of their fathers’ laps and go and fight for it!”. This quote perfectly captures the personality of Tracy. She is confident, outgoing, and she stands up for what she believes in. Personally, I find that Tracy and I share these positive traits. We share many similarities in our personality. The…
called it Devil Hairspray. She would sell it to innocent people, and as soon as they would use it, they would turn into monsters, and they would all be evil.

There was generally an excessive amount of mousse used in styling an individual's hair which resulted in a desired shiny look and greater volume, some mousse even contained glitter. Hairsprays such as AquaNet (which was also one of the fist hairspray products to come out), were also used to help mimic the hard rock band "Poison".
