The Real

In the poem “We Real Cool” written by the first African-American to win a Pulitzer for Poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks discusses how she came across a group of young men at a pool hall, and what she thought they were feeling. Gwendolyn Brooks does a great job of discussing the issues, which African Americans faced during the time of the poem’s publication in the 1950’s in Chicago. Brooks does so in a clear and concise way that engages the readers by using alliteration, rhyme, and monosyllabic words. So…

The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty is the product of a chain reaction that started with a global study that came out in September about women and beauty. The Real Truth About Beauty: A Global Report came to the conclusion “that the definition of beauty had become limiting and unattainable” and that “only 2% of women around the world would describe themselves as beautiful,” (yellow). In response to this global study Dove launched their Campaign for Real Beauty in September 2004 with what is known…

characters simply seem unreal; some characters mask their true identity, including Jason Taylor himself, who is constantly trying to reveal only aspects of himself and in search for the right appearance throughout the novel. Many of these characters’ real personas are eventually revealed, because-- in reality--one is not capable of choosing what identity to put on and has no control over who he or she really is. “You…

didn’t know the real explanation till the day I applied to the fellow program. The word “fellow” actually means a lot to me today. It is not only one of the reasons people recognize me on campus, but also something I am very proud of.
