John Brown

John Ortiz is a recent a graduate from a highly touted dance academy. In his last semester at the academy, one of his instructors was interested in what had driven her students to find their passion in dance. So to find out she gave an assignment for each student to write a paper on how they fell in love with dance.

touchdowns bringing it in himself then in the air. A lot of people think it was luck that he did that well in college because of his NFL performance. He was drafted 22nd in 2014 by the Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland Browns are one of the worst team in sports ever since Jim Brown retired. The Cleveland Browns have started 26 different quarterbacks since 1999. Tom Brady has been starting since 2001. That’s how bad their team is. Even though Manziel might have possibly been a “good” quarterback…

it out and watch her from afar. Jennifer is a stubby, four foot eight woman, in her mid-thirties. She is toothless, and her lower jaw whirls from side to side when she produces her puncturing high-pitched sounds. In the center of her scraggly light brown hair, she has a bald spot while the hair at the back of her head is short and frizzy, like a poodle's hair. Jennifer also wears a pair of…

The American Character I am part of the first generation in my family that was born in America. My parents journeyed from Dominican Republic to Lowell twenty-nine years ago and I learned why because of the trip my family and I took to their native home four years ago.

With middle-length light brown hair and green eyes, he 's had a lot of girls in school come after him. He has a piercing in each ear, giving him the carefree playboy vibe. But the truth was, he was more mature and hardworking than others. Believe it or not, the reason the…

There are certain cravings people experience in the world and many of them either help or hurt people. One of the most common yearnings people have is power. This five-letter word has been used in many ways, each with a great impact on history. They have left humans wondering: what is a healthy amount of power to award humans with? How much power should they have in the first place? There is a common misconception that the more power you have, the more of a positive impact you are making. That…

One of the bold claims that Huntington makes in his book that I would like to unpack involves the gap between the American Creed and American Institutions. The premise of his claim is that the essence of American Creed is flawed by humans. Human beings are naturally fallen and therefore, the IvI gap will never be able to fully close.
