line 70) and how he gets “shot and stabbed like it’s fun” (line 71). This shows gang affiliated life is mixed with drugs and violence. I agree with this notion that the life of a gang member is a lifestyle that leads to no good. My cousin was in a gang before his house was raided by another gang. He was shot on the spot at the base of his spinal cord and he is now crippled for life from the waist down. It is crazy to know this because my cousin’s house is where I used to spend most of my days…

While it is a classic, one may fail to notice that the relationship Huck and Jim have is the main point of the novel and that Huck’s respect with him…

I am disorganized by nature. I have come to learn that the only way I can work efficiently is with rigid structure, but that rigid structure does not translate into the work itself. Crafting a well-organized text tends to be difficult for me and is one of the things I have struggled with most in English classes. Because I possessed this self-knowledge, I knew it was something to focus on, especially in final drafts. In the past, I was often told that my writing was convoluted, and while I…

potential consequences for choosing any of the available choices we have is factored into our final decision. Bill 'The Butcher’ Cutting said it best with his claim in the film Gangs of New York that fear is "what preserves the order of things.” In many ways, such fear helps to keep us from being disorderly or breaking our given society’s laws.

Too often we find…
