The Goddess Artemis is a part of the second generation of Gods (“The Olympian Gods”). She is known as the patroness of hunting and often carried a bow and arrow (Hemingway). She can be found in modern…

Book Banning is the attempt to remove material. Books are removed for their explicit content. Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, by Mildred D. Taylor was banned for racism and explicit language.

During banned books week readers can see why some books have been banned. In these past few years the main reason for books being banned has been books that…

Remember the times in middle school when “talkin’ slang” was considered normal to our peers, while on the other hand our elders face palmed and shook their head in utter shame. At that age, we were considered naive with the belief that “kids will be kids” and we will easily grow out of it, yet many African Americans continue to face the stereotypical belief that they are just illiterate. The book Pinned by Sharon G. Flake and the movie “Dear White People” directed by Justin Simien, exploit the…

Lord of Macbeth Even though both Jack from Lord of the Flies, and Macbeth from Macbeth have the same drive for power, the same obsession with blood, and the same guilt, there are some differences. The differences between them is that Macbeth does everything because he thinks it’s his fate and that he needs to, but Jack does it for the thrill of it. In both Macbeth, and Lord of the Flies the author is trying to show that greed kills all. In both novels the drive to be the leader results in either…

Murders – The Dangerous Influence of Hate by the Media “The media 's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that 's power. Because they control the minds of the masses”(Malcolm X).

The future they are preparing for is theirs and America’s. I have confidence that I can contribute to helping students create a future for themselves and others through working with students who have special needs. Due to students in SPED (Special Education) needing the curriculum tailored to their specific…

I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve looked up my name while growing up wondering why my father and mother decided to name me Divine…Divine Genius to be exact. While growing up I wasn’t a “bad” child but Lord knows I had my moments. Older people would hear or see my name then ask me am I living up to the expectations of my name? Thinking back on it now I guess that’s the reason why I would look up the definition so many times. I was in search for something, I just didn’t know what. “Ask, and…

Intro: Racial Profiling has been around for many years, and in fact continues to this day. What is racial profiling and when did it start? What kind of people does it affect? How many people died because of racial profiling itself? These are just some of the questions that I am going to answer for you today. Racial profiling in my opinion is horrible and should be stopped, but it could only be stopped if people wanted it to stop. There are many things on the news today about the shooting with…
