When heading into state court, I was unsure of what to expect. I have always been a fan of movies with cases and most recently I have found a large amount of interest in the OJ Simpson case through activity watching the show The People v. OJ Simpson released this past year.

A friend in another section…

Night creeps on the dimly lit boarding school here in Pottstown, and bulbs flick off in certain rooms when the short-hand ticks to eleven. It’s mandatory bedtime and a time to reverse some effects of sleep deprivation, but most slip into technically ‘dreamless’ nights: maybe a dream or two that probe into the unkempt field of subconsciousness, perhaps a jolting plot of horror that startles their deepest fears. But when the pseudo-liveliness fueled by caffeine sinks away and globs of stars under…

Throughout the many locations in the world, the address of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue to anyone is probably just another random address. What people do not know is that it is actually the birthplace of Hip Hop which led to an entire cultural movement that has changed generational thinking from music and art to fashion and language. Here is how the story goes: August 11, 1973, Jamaican-born DJ Kool Herc was entertaining at his sisters back-to-school party in the Bronx, a New York borough.…

In a world where issues of sustainability are becoming more and more relevant, the eco fashion movement has potential to revolutionize the way Americans view fashion and style. Eco fashion exists as a challenge to the typical approach of purchasing apparel for the season and discarding it soon after-a process called “fast fashion” (Annamma, et al. 1). The eco fashion movement affects multiple stakeholders including its customers, the environment, and overseas garment workers. Understanding the…

dressed in buckskins (which were usually stained in a colour for effect and ornamentation). They frequently wore a kind of moccasin, which was quite different to the small shoe worn by the other plains Indians, but instead a kind of combined both and legging that reached by foot to hip.

Animalism, the idea that all animals should be treated with freedom and equality, not the cruelty that they were previously treated with, when governed by humans, was mostly created by the pigs. This concept, similar to communism in our world, was outlined by 7 commandments. However, throughout the story, we see the seven commandments gradually being eroded by the pigs, to suit their own benefit. They start to…

Hospitals, often times when people ponder being in a hospital, visiting a hospital, or even when watching movies or television shows that involve hospitals, most people would agree that for the majority of the time, they aren’t in an enjoyable, blissful place. Unless, of course, referring to the exception of welcoming a baby into this world, however, even the arrival of babies bring some hospital rooms’ sadness and heartache. My job requires me to stand as the observer, the staff member that…

Every morning, teenagers awake by a piercing obnoxious alarm that signals that it is time to get ready for school. Being woken up in this heart-racing panic is not the ideal way to start your day, and this attaches a negative energy to the idea of getting out of bed for school. Moreover, students are required to be in attendance for eight out of twelve months and receive extremely brief breaks. During these breaks students are still being assigned hours of work. Along with an overload of work,…
