Nobody Knows

“Hey girl, what are you wearing?” If those words sound all too familiar, you’ve probably been getting sexted. Sexting can be going on right next to us and we don’t even know it. If you’re in a business meeting, at a park, at the mall, or even at school, don’t peak at anyone’s phone, because you might not like what you see. Sexting is quite literally all around us at any given time. Everyone wants to be a part of sexting, but what is it, why do people do it, and what happens when it all goes wrong? The definition of sexting is, “the sending of sexually explicit messages or images by cell phone” (“Sexting”). Sexting is used by the young, the old, and in between. Although it’s hypothesized that older people are less prone to risk taking (McDaniel…

The man nobody knows is a book that takes us through a Biblical view that has been misrepresented. Although it is a small book, it contains information about the person of Jesus and it has been considered as one of the most ancient religious book.

Warren Susman believes that in the early twentieth century, there was a transition period of a “culture of character” to a “culture of personality.” In today 's culture, people are led to believe that following the ins and outs of society are what get you further in life rather than the culture of their individual person.

Many of the characters in A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen and Nobody Knows by Shelley Tanaka changed because of a cultural conflict presented to them. In Nobody Knows, the Mother of five children sneaks in four of them to live in an apartment where no children are allowed. Over the course of the book, the mother…

><><><><><><><> at school the next day ><><><><><><><> “Alright, settle down kids. Let’s continue. We’ll just go around saying where we were born. If you didn’t know where yesterday, you should have asked yesterday,” she said. We went around the room saying where and which hospital we were born. I was dreading when it would come to my turn. I don’t know why but I didn’t want to say that I was adopted. It…

Where the hell is it? I can save it. It’s going to be alright…” she trailed off, more of an assurance to herself than to me. I was frozen where I stood. My hands were shaking. My eyes darted around, looking for the same thing Starr was looking for. Then I saw it. Something I didn’t want to see. It was a liver. A human fucking liver. Nausea took over my body. My breathing was uneven and it felt like I was going to pass out. While Starr scurried around trying to save the organ, I worked up the…

The rest of the room was simply decorated, a thick white rug covered the floor with a sitting area consisting of a long sofa and a chair near the windows that were draped with thick blue draperies that blocked the light. "This is your room," Amelia repeated from the doorway. "You can do with it what you want, it's your zone nobody else's. If you don't like the paint we can change it," "No - its - its perfect," he murmured softly before turning away and smiling at the older woman. "Thank you,"…

don't let anything change us, then it overall makes the situation better. There will be no confusion on what's being said or done on your end. We should always look out for our peers because just like we need guidance and help so do they. There is nothing wrong with seeking or receiving help. Assistance can go a long way especially because we never know what people go through, so simply just by checking up on them can be all the help they need. Personally I have had the same group of friends…
