Say Anything...

I understand you are studying for your finals and all that. I understand that you are not gonna be able to talk to me during that time, but there's something I don't understand. You say you don't want me to go to other guys etc, but yet you don't do anything about it. Once you go home or have a free time you don't show any interest in talking to me. Is whatever's to you. Which is the total opposite of me. I care. I want to talk to you. I want to see you. Etc. How do you think I supposed to feel?…

everything is going to be okay. For example, whenever I say something bad about myself, Emma is always the first person to tell me that I’m wrong and that I will eventually get it. She also boosts people’s confidence so much. Whenever I say that I completely suck at anything, Emma will always tell me differently (even if I really do suck at it). Emma also tells me all the time that I look cute, even when I do not. In addition, Emma usually has anything that you could possibly need. For…

struggle. When you say something is hard, they will never say, "You can do it, honey." They say, "So what, I had to carry books on my head on hot sand with no shoes, and you say this is hard. Come on Jeany." You have to have tough skin in an African home. My parents say, "strive to be the best". So I always strived to be the best it whatever I did, but if I am the best they make me strive harder, to the maximum. In an African home, your parents make you study for anything even if its summer…

Location is truly a story of young love. As Khalid says himself, this song is about that special type of love that you would travel around the world for. Khalid is able to express this feeling with a lot of symbolism. He really tells us about how he feels in this song. The theme of this song is done through five literary devices. Khalid mostly shows these literary devices through symbolism. First off Khalid says “At times I wonder why I fool with you/ But this is new to me, this is new…

“I’m crying like i’m three” Rachel says. She was holding back her expressions I think that she knew that she was going to cry one way or another. To end my essay I would lastly like to say that Rachel expresses her thoughts to us instead of anybody else. She doesn’t say a word about anything to anybody else about the sweater because she is worried that she is going to get into more trouble. This shows that Rachel is worried that if she mentions anything to somebody they might…

faith when he states, “...God’s the reason for everything noble and fine and heroic.” (237) However, Mustapha has a very different beliefs. As those in most religions find solace in their beliefs and turn to their deity in times of struggle, Mustapha says that is obsolete now. With the modelling of a desensitized society, there is no reason to look for faith and think of hardships in this world. For them, their scriptures lie in the hypnopaedia whispered to the children in the middle of the…

An entire civilization on the brink of ending is a scary…

active, fearless and talented person. Rainsford is active because he is really fast and quick at anything. This is seen in the story when it says “Then he ran for his life. The hounds raised their voices as they hit the fresh scent” “When he saw or heard someone getting him he ran for it he kept going until he lost them”. He can also be described as fearless because he isn’t scared of nothing or anything he just go for it. An example of this is seen in the story, which states “weaving in and out…

from NPR, Jamila Lyiscott says that “When someone calls me articulate, it's not so much that they've never heard someone put together some words very well. It's that coming from my body, coming from my skin, coming from me, it's suddenly impressive. (Lyiscott) This shows the meaning of stereotype by showing that they thought it was impressive since it came from African American woman, but if the way she spoke would of came from a white woman they wouldn't of thought anything about it.…
