Snowball fight

Half of all teens had seen their first photo of intoxicated teenagers or teens on drugs when they were 13 years old or younger on Facebook and other social media sites (“Influence of Social Media on Alcohol Use”). Alcohol and drug-related content on social media is now becoming a norm for most teenagers. A teen who sees alcohol-related content on social media is 3 times more likely to use alcohol than a teen who has not seen such content. However, there is another side to this argument that…

In 1878, Eadweard Muybridge made an extraordinary observation. After taking a series of photos of a horse at a quick speed, he recognized that when flipped through quickly, it looked as if a horse were running. This was the beginning of something revolutionary. This was the beginning of the motion picture. In the years after this discovery, the motion picture began to take flight. Muybridge projected images taken with his Zoöpraxiscope, Thomas Edison bought and built upon the Kinetoscope,…

According to Miller, the film is listed among other films whose main female characters are depicted as violent in their pursuit for freedom and self-rule. Thelma and Louise are described not as a male bashing and anti-feminist film (Miller 201). Male dominance over female characters such that the woman knows no freedom of choice and voice, no respect, and always submissive to a man’s snaps and tantrums drives the hell out of her. She is not by nature violent as initially depicted of Thelma, a…

I grew up here I grew up in Rahway, New Jersey with my mother, step-father and a little annoying brother that I loved. We lived in a two bedroom apartment, in a peaceful neighborhood.

My little brother and I shared a room, our room was white at first, then we painted it blue and red, finally we decided to paint it blue and black. At the time I was eight and he was three. His side of the room was always a mess. He had…

The injustice of what is happening at Rikers Island comes from a neglectful system that has shown no care for the inmates or the staff’ safety. It is unfair to the inmates and staff that are subjected to the hate, violence, and lack of authority. This puts the staff members lives’ in danger, as well as the inmates. It does not matter why an inmate is at Rikers Island; the corrections officers’ jobs are to ensure the security of the detention facility and inmate rehabilitation. It is hurtful to…

laughing, but there a few who were looking at us in disgust. I stuck my finger up at one boy who had called Carson a faggot. I put my hand up. "Sir! Sir! Can I bash John? I swear it 'll be quick!" He looked at me like I was crazy. "Why would you want to fight John?" I looked at John, hissing, and turned back to sir. "He called Carson a faggot. But John is a fucking pathetic…

Television: The Evil Children’s Media Platform The long-standing proverb that “it takes a village to raise a child" has never been more accurate. Raising a child places immense demands on a parent’s time and resources, resulting in many parents utilizing television as a cheap quasi-babysitter. One of the consequences of this practice is that the television has gradually replaced a village’s role in a child’s upbringing. When a village raises a child, it has a child’s best interests at heart…

borderline naïve belief that her party was beyond corruption and that justice should and would prevail. She remains consistently confused at being charge with “relaxation of vigilance” which turns to “collaborating with enemies of the people” and only snowballs further from there as the corruption in the system grows. Her passionate rejection of these charges not only shows her dedication to the logic she based her entire life on as a professor, but also her unwavering loyalty to the ideals of…

It was a brisk.. and breezy evening struck by twilight's magic in the evergreen forest of Kysland; the country of the enchanted forests of this strange... yet intimidating world. The twilight's moon glistened like a pearl in the sky's violet atmosphere. The shimmering and glistering stars looked like still snowflakes when a few dropped around Keira's feet. She smiled with a look of bliss, alone to herself as the other children hopped and played without a care in the world.. A moment they should…
