I could site several references to render this point, but I would like to reference a recent case, which is the Michael Brown vs. Dean Wilson. Do you believe that Wilson, the white police officer killed Michael Brown because he was black? The media as in the community along with the nation felt that…

purple mitten lost on a sledding excursion, blood from scraped knuckles, a plethora of cuss words spat in utter frustration, and a few salty tears shed grudgingly. It’s hard to explain hating an inanimate object. I would sound crazy if I said “Dad, I hate that field below the shop,” even though I’m sure he’s read that exact statement written on my face a thousand times. Nature is unforgiving -- heartless even. It has the best poker face of all: one that can make any old fool (Like myself) into…

rest of her face continues in the same style as the other portraits, yet lacks the bright red lips. Beneath her portrait are the words, “We the People Protect Each Other”. The posters were made to protest Trump by saying “We reject fear-mongering and exclusion” (Flock). Through illustrating a want for change and the opposition of racism and bigotry, the series exemplifies promotional political art, implying that there have been past struggles for both the minority groups and women. Within his…

center of the noose is very symbolic. Roses are a symbol of love and a noose is a representation for hate. Because the flower was growing in the center of the noose, The author’s symbolic meaning was that love for one thing can be the center of hate for another. This relates to the racism of this time and can leave the reader to infer the dead man was lynched because of a hate crime. Love and hate are binary opposites but are apart of everyday life, and that is what Myop realizes after…

Now on television, especially this year with the presidential election, all I see are commercials that show negative point about candidates. Often, candidates will make these commercials to make their opponents look bad, and make them seem like the better vote. Often though, the facts in these ads are very untrue and vulgar.

Your classmates are not willing to talk due to the speech code. They are afraid of the harsh punishments that come with violating the speech code. You soon begin to…

deconstruct on top of all this. The issues for women are like at snaillike speed, because apparently women “don’t” face issues anymore. Let’s all just forget women are still amongst the high targets of being raped, if you are colored and LGBTQ your rates for hate crime or being victimized in any way go higher. Our issues as women are not settled and I do not know what to do now, but I am definitely going to do my research and find ways to fight for my rights, I want domestic violence to end,…
