expected, besides she “killed” one of their own and on top of it she was a woman of color. I admire Assata greatly in this chapter, she is so brave and has a strong will of power, if I were in her place I would have cried and begged since the first punch to the stomach. I can connect the way they treated Assata during…
here, but if fighter B says no, he’ll be called names by Fighter A, but, he won’t get hurt or in trouble. So back to the main topic, media doesn’t promote violence, it just gives the fighters some movesets they could use. The movesets can be FALCON PUNCH or…
In Disney’s movie “Frozen” it can be argued that the traditional stereotypes that Disney have set have been broken some say they haven’t I believe that both sides are right.

After the death of their parents Elsa has to become Queen but after a freak accident runs away into isolation to prevent this from…
“In Theodore Boone, the scandal” A boy named Theo is at school like any other day, but today isn’t like any other day, it is exam week. Nobody likes exams, but as the week passes on it comes to the end of all the tests. Theo and his friend April don’t pass, something unusual but nothing too important to them or the story. Besides the fact that people with normally lower grades than Theo had passed the test with astonishing scores. At first, Theo thinks nothing of it but as time passes he thinks…
Micha Tejeda, a student whose family managed to escape from El Salvador during the civil war in the 1980s. Her parents were peasants that were tortured by local government soldiers. The fact that they’re alive today is a miracle. Stories like Micha’s have moved people to begin volunteering at Proyecto Adelante, a nonprofit agency that provides counseling services to people seeking asylum in the United States, as well as legal assistance. Patricia Warden is one of these very people. Warden,…
Kacy Catanzaro. [jwplatform clLOebyc-Mmf1fcrO] It Ain't Pretty Kacy Catanzaro probably knows a thing or two about being underestimated. The gymnast stands at 5 feet tall and weighs close to 100 pounds, she doesn’t look like much, but she packs a punch. Catanzaro made history last night when she became the first woman to complete the finals course on American Ninja Warrior, the newest trend to travel the nation. It’s a show that places athletes all over the world on an extreme obstacle course…
not shaking the car.” She was being the most calm person you could possibly be at the moment. “YES YOU ARE! THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING! YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN!” he says, still shouting at one hundred decibels. I was afraid the next shot would be a punch through the glovebox, or worse, one of us. Tears develop in my eyes. I let them go as silent as possible. I was petrified by the fact of them hearing me. “Excuse me? You are the one throwing a fit right now. All just because we don’t want to go to…
Thus, the mixture of the grotesque and the innocent appeals to her: I’ve always been attracted to split images. The grotesque combined with the innocent, a child walking with a cane; a kitten with a swollen head; a bunch back drinking a cup of fruit punch. Somehow these images are a metaphor for any view of life; they’re colorful … Southerners bring out the grisly details in any event. ( qtd. In Hewett 3) Even though the technique that Henley follows when using the grotesque and the…
Kettlewell’s life. It describes her struggle with anorexia and self-mutilation, her sort of broken family background, and her teenage years. Then I would title the final chapter “Closing Wounds.” This chapter is very short, but packs an emotional punch. It talks about how she just stopped one day, that after two decades, her need to cut ran its course and sometimes leaves her begging for the blade to the day. As it is the last chapter and about the end of her obsession, I feel that my suggested…
and tried to hit me back with another right hook. Fortunately, my friend Song had taught me how to counter punches. As he swung I picked up my right hand attempting to throw an Ali style straight right, while blocking my face with my left hand. My punch connected clean on his nose breaking it. I never actually saw Angel’s face because he rushed off to the bathroom, but apparently, he used a whole toilet paper roll to stop all the blood from coming out of his nose, so I heard from Josh. I always…
