Redneck

Jane, “I don’t want you to get the idea that she was a goddamn icicle or something, just because we never necked or horsed around much,” (88-89) as well as frequent swearing throughout the book. By that logic, however, a much different book, The Redneck Manifesto by Jim Goad, although one of only a handful of books on the topic of how the American white underclass came to be, has the same two strikes on it: Constant swearing, particularly racial slurs, as well as certainly graphic content, as in…

When a person thinks about country and rap, they would think these two genres were polar opposites. As much as these two genres contrast, they compare as well. This essay will show the audience what is different between the two genres and what is similar between the two genres through the genre’s historical background, the genre’s musical elements, and the genre’s social impacts on the world. Country is a “homegrown American art form that originated in the southern United States in the 1920’s”…

Ever since my older brother Kevin decided to become friends with white people, they dragged him into their devil worshipping practices, or Water Polo. Since everyone thinks Water Polo is the stupidest sport ever created, me included, nobody plays on the team, which leads to no money for the team, which means that Water Polo is not even acknowledged as a real sport, but a “club sport”. My mother and father (being the annoying people they have always been) one day asked themselves; “how can we…

The Rocking Dead: A Zombie Musical On November first, 2015 I went to the performance “The Rocking Dead: A Zombie Musical” at Center of the Arts in Coral Springs. Typically I am not the sort of individual to take a seat and appreciate a live musical performance, yet this one was extremely satisfying. Subsequent to the one-hour drive to Coral Springs I was welcomed by a young lady in the entrance of the lobby who was extremely kind and supportive as to where to enter for the musical. After…

Having gone to two different high schools I got to experience, firsthand, just how different two schools in the same county can be. Marvin ridge and Weddington High School are completely different in their appearance, their students and their academics. Marvin was the first high school that I attended. Its nickname was " Marvin Rich". The Ridge had a certain feeling to it when you stepped foot in its doors, almost as if the air was filled with exhaust from pricey cars and cologne from name…

communities where blacks had once been barred from voting, and many of the leaders or organizations that came into existence during the 1950s and 1960s remained active in southern politics. Southern colleges and universities that once excluded blacks began to recruit them. Despite the civil rights gains of the 1960s, however, racial discrimination and repression remained a significant factor in American life. Even after President Johnson declared a war on poverty and King initiated a Poor…

shadowing at a job such as this, but my skill set allowed me to. I have taken martial arts class since I was seven years old and have lived on a farm all my life. Not only did I live on a farm, but you could say my parents were the stereotypical redneck farmers, so they gave me proper gun training. Then there is the resume I made to apply for the job and that…

Question- what are your initial impressions when you think about people from different cultures. Response- I think it just depends what culture they are from. But for the most I don’t think any different from of them if it was just someone at met around town. When you meeting someone from a different culture you just have to watch what you say because you can come off offensive. Something that you say may mean something completely different in another culture and if they aren’t open to different…
