Daniel Bailey is most notably known for his first published collection of poems, “The Drunk Sonnets”, which was composed of 53 sonnets that Bailey wrote while completely intoxicated. In truth, it can’t be proven that he was actually plastered, but he was at least using his best “drunkface”. The Drunk Sonnets were a part of a small genre of poetry affectionately called Drunk Poetry, and all of the authors in this particular genre happened to be restricted to Daniel Bailey’s immediate friend…

constitution is very important that one should value. We can engage in the political process but having bulletin, signs, radio ads, and infomercials persuading the world that love is blind. We can also present a PowerPoint expressing how you feel about same sex marriage to convey where we stand on this issue. Having limits set on a particular group of individuals due to how they choose to live…

1a. After reading the case study on Salif Keita from the textbook along with listening to the two songs, I believe the aspects of Keita that defines his identity the most are his ethnic background, global musical exposure, and his unique individual voice. Early on in Keita’s career, it was his ethnic Mali background along with his European influence that played a major role in his musical identity. In his song “Africa”, he uses traditional African instruments including “the talking drum, kora…

The Trash Guru is convenient in the sense that the purchaser no longer has to take the trash to the curb themselves. Customers can place the trash on the dock and program the device to take the trash to the cub at any day/time. This product does not release any harmful toxins into the air because it is battery power operated. The Trash Guru is very beneficial to the buyer because of its multiple uses. Homeowners can use it for the purpose of taking out the trash, as can business. But The Trash…

The public has some influence over the media, but media creators are the ones who have the most since they are consciously and/ or unconsciously integrating their experiences, biases, values, and beliefs. With the rise of dystopian/utopian fiction films, fear of loss of autonomy has become more relevant since this genre predicts a vial future for the United States which causes distress and fascination to many. Majority of these films, where a totalitarian government is most likely in power, fail…

What Happened: Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Franco (Roger Howarth) get closer and kiss for the first time on 6/22. Liz chooses to turn in Hayden's illegally-held diamonds. Heather tells Franco that she's been financially blackmailing Hayden's mother, Naomi, with the information that she had an affair with Jeff Webber and produced Hayden.

To summarize this book would be like asking someone their life story and hoping you don’t miss a beat. I read this book twice to be sure I caught every small detail that Firoozeh Dumas went through. Funny in Farsi begins with the author Dumas, a girl who moved to America from Iran with her family, talking about why they moved and what she thought about it. Of course, they didn’t move to just any part of America, they moved to California. The reason behind the family 's move was because the…

In our American history, we define ourselves as greatness beyond expectations because we are revolutionary in more than one way. We have learned through experiences that somethings were not meant to be and the inevitable caught up to them. But, when you look back in time, white educated men in the United States held the "normal" standard and everyone else were below them. For example, Women's' rights and African Americans rights clearly had a fine line comparing to white educated men of the…

Wolf of Wall Street This is not your average paper of “let me explain this out of box movie, with the dreamy Leonardo Dicaprio as the leading man”. No this is a paper of how a world of luxury and living the high life is really not so great when you are at the top. This is not just a movie showcasing his high, but it would not be an Oscar winning movie without showing his fall. Leonardo Dicaprio’s portrayal of Jordan Belfort was truly impeccable. Being that this is a true story, you start to…

There is no arguing that the prevalence of television shows, social media applications for smart phones, and video games are taking over much of the time people spend daily. There always seems to be the next bigger and better thing. This leaves people with a desire to obtain these things to be a part of what everyone else is doing. Society has painted a picture of “exclusiveness” when you have the latest smart phones, social media applications, televisions, or video games. If we all hunger for…
