If I Ran the Zoo

Purple by Alice Walker June 27, 2015 This week I started reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker. The sentences change from long and short all the time. And the sentences have a lot of slang in them. This is because Celie the main character who is also telling the story is uneducated. I know this because she says this “He set there by the bed holding her hand cryin, talking bout don’t leave me, don’t go”(24). This book is very different to what I am used to reading. It doesn’t have any…

had darker skin and their eye where different than ours. I never teased, but one of my classmates thought it was funny and called them “black ass.” If I was to say something like that, my parents would have grounded me for a long time. But then, while I could see that they looked different I could not make a connection between them and the names they were called. At that time, I did not understand my classmate’s motives. After moving a lot, I was used to seeing people of different ethnicities.…

The first girl I ever kissed was the daughter of a woman who frequented my parent’s hat shop. I was thirteen years old and we had escaped into the alley beside the shop. Her mother was taking her time perusing the hats: hats with wide brims, big feathers, funny textures. My family was very successful; hats were an important commodity to the women of Vienna, even to those that typically upturned their noses at my family. The approaching war distanced itself further from me each time a woman…

typography for Harper's Bazaar, a popular and innovative fashion magazine. He modernized the look of the magazine in regards to the graphics and brought photography to the forefront. While Brodovitch was most famous for what he did for Harper's Bazaar, I will examine why he should be regarded as one of the most influential figures in the world of graphic design and photography beyond this magazine. In order to understand how Alexey Brodovitch's talent and passion came to be, one must go back…

Disney film Old Dogs. Williams again continued working on a number of different projects. He made guest appearances on TV shows like Louie and Wilfred. In March 2011 he appeared on Broadway as part of the original cast of Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, with the show running until July.

Courage To change other passions with your own, however reasonably or unreasonable each one is it is hard. Fighting fire is with fire can sometimes be the only way a person can go by a problem. These people changed the world with their passion and courage. Courage is a power you can have when you have none. Courage is what conquers the powerful and is the essence of act in adversity. Like to stand up to a bully or friend even if you’re scared. Melba, one of the 9 teenagers that went to school…

is why I am sharing mine. In February of 2016 I woke up to my first migraine. It was like nothing I had ever gone through before. Imagine someone blasting rock music while drilling into your skull and punching you in the stomach at the same time. That is how I felt for 24 long days. Eventually I was hospitalized for a week and was told I had a Chiari Malformation and Chronic Migraines. I missed around 70 days of my junior year in high school. I discovered that my biggest trigger was dairy. I…

Seuss says, “So we set in the house we did nothing at all. Doing nothing at all, is something I will not allow in my home.” Seuss tries to make it evident that it is not okay to abandon your children and leave them alone but it also is entirely different to watch them sit and do nothing. He makes you aware of the fact that, even though it’s raining outside the children are simply going to, “sit sit sit sit”. I cannot emphasis how much this is like today’s society when all children do is sit on…

mother threatens her to stop or else she would not be able to return home. Not understanding her mother’s wishes, Anne mistakes her mother’s intensions. Rather than thinking of her family’s safety, Anne selfishly thinks of herself. “I was so damn mad after her letter, I felt like taking the NAACP convention to Centreville” (Moody 284). She acted like the typical defiant teenager, or a three-year-old, deliberately disobeying her parents. Moody thought that her mother’s reason to keep her in the…
