Like any kids in this world, growing up and watching TV, I love most of what Disney offer for all kids. Disney princess movies teach me the different culture education and etiquette. It always been hared to choose an attributes of a princess because each one of them had their way of living. All Disney princess had their own unique characteristics. I believed that Disney princess have many feature that make them great characters. First of all, Jasmine was independent and strong woman at the same…

This past summer movie season sweltered, simmered and smoldered its way into the hearts of many in 2017. While previous summers presented the worst Hollywood had to offer, this year proved different. Beginning with the empowering “Wonder Women,” to the stunning “Dunkirk” and the inspiriting joy ride that was “Baby Driver,” the film industry pleasantly surprised with dense blockbusters and three dimensional characters audiences will not soon forget. Nevertheless, a few indie gems — great films…

This last summer I had the privilege to reenact an important part of history - the pioneer journey west. Although the trek was somewhat difficult I had many great experiences. While pulling and pushing a handcart for 7 miles a day was difficult, surprisingly, the hardest part of trek for me was enduring the 12 hour long car rid back, because I had to ride in the deacon’s (12 year old young men’s) car, with them singing along to Taylor Swift. From my experiences I had, I learned that the things…

Bloods vs. Crips Mrs. Stubbs-Mesumbe Period 5B Ike Anamelechi November 27, 2016 The Bloods and the crips are easily some of the most violent and famous gangs to ever be created. They were both founded in Los Angeles. These two gangs have been rivals for about their entire history as a gang. The Crips were founded in 1969 by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. Not long after that , the Bloods formed from a lot of smaller gangs including the Pirus to become rivals for the Crips.…

My struggle with life in Canada … As long as I live I will remember (Shakur, “Love Within a Storm” 11) In the stare of the sky in the cold catch of water (Hervey 6) I exist in the depths of solitude (Shakur, “In the Depths of Solitude” 1) Under the stars above (Shakur, “2 People With 1 Wish” 4) [I] brood like the day, a master over a slave (William 121) I think of home and dry my eyes (Shen-Yen 8) [It was] when I was at my lowest (Shakur, “Nothing Can Come Between Us 4 John” 10) [My] will…

Street gangs have existed in American history for around one hundred and forty five years. However, until the 1980’s, they were purely social organizations formed by member of typically inner city youths and young adults. However, the recent rise in the drug trade and the availability of crack-cocaine has led to the “corporatization” of street gangs. I will be analyzing two articles, the first ““An Economic Analysis of A Drug-Selling Gang’s Finances” by Steven D. Levitt and Sudhir Alladi…

The Motorcycle Diaries is a movie based on the actual diary entries of Ernesto Guevara, an Argentinian medical student, who with his older friend, Alberto Granado, a biochemist, go on an adventure, across Latin America, in hopes of seeking fun, but also to accomplish their goal of helping out in a leper colony.

Many immigrants moved to America in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, and many of them set out west to make a living for themselves farming or ranching like so many did in My Ántonia. The railroads, just like in the book, brought so many of these immigrants and settlers to the West. Some…

II-Introduction: The topic I am interested in is to see if social inequality leads to the creation of gangs. I believe growing up in the city we experience more than those who did not. We are accustomed to seeing things other people would not be used to. One thing we are accustomed to be violence, more specifically gang violence. Gangs are that have been around for ages. Dating back to the mafia in the roaring 20s all the way to present day gangs like the Bloods and Crips. It’s hard to imagine…
