The Stoop

I’ve had a lot of experience with bullies – most of my middle school experience was spent locked in an epic, emotionally-scarring battle of the ages against their kind. My case wasn’t nearly as extreme as Nadin’s, fortunately, but it took its toll in a different way. It was mostly non-physical harassment for me, with very light physical harassment whenever teachers weren’t looking (like tripping me up in the hallway, or prodding me with pencils/rulers whenever I sat within pointy-object range).…

A lots of people this days whose destiny is not accomplish is because they have stoop low and never want to make effective decisions that can take them to their destination. There are individuals out there that are working in an organization and it's fetching them some little amount of wages or salary. having an outlook on that,…

Did you know that a student sprayed another student with squirt fish at a public airport? This student went overboard for a ridiculous end-of-the-year game with water guns. A debate that has been discussed is if students should be allowed to play violent role playing games. I believe that violent role-playing games are cynical for students. First of all,the games can get out of control, video games are also the reason for violence, and can introduce a teenager to the world of rampage. From…

Harlem is very poor and half of them don’t even have a job. There is also a lot criminality in the neighbourhood. As we can read on page 18 line 14 “One thing about 145th street. Half the guys on the block don’t have jobs and so they’re always on the stoops or just standing around with nothing to do. And after a while that gets boring, so when the cops arrive like this it breaks the day up nice. Unless it’s you they’re looking for, of course.” Here we hear a lot about the street and the…

Book Review I chose to analyze and review the book Freedom is a Constant Struggle Ferguson, Palestine, and The Foundation of a Movement by Angela Davis. Throughout this book are essays, interviews, and speeches that Angela uses to identify the connection between state violence and oppression that has happened in the past and that’s still happening today. She reflects the importance of black feminize, intersectionality and prison abolition throughout the United States. Davis was a new assistant…

Lahiri’s decision to write a sweeping family epic is perhaps not surprising, given her background in short stories. “The Namesake” and “Unaccustomed Earth” wove together disparate tales concerning central themes—assimilation and biculturalism—while her novel “The Namesake” spanned two generations of the same Indian-American family. “The Lowland” outdoes them all: over the course of five decades and four generations, Lahiri examines the lives of various members of the Mitra family. From…

In this paper I will give you facts from both sides of the death penalty. The death penalty is a very controversial subject. Some people believe that it is wrong to kill a man ever and some believe that if a person kills that they should be killed as well. The arguments that we will see are whether the value of life is enough to not execute a convicted person, if the reason the person is being kills is for vengeance or justice and whether the crime decreases or stays the same if the death…

The main enemy for a teen that people don’t always see are insecurities. The lack of self confidence or the fear of not only how teens see themselves, but the way in which others perceive them as well. Insecurities latch a hold on high school teenagers and could stay with them as they move into adult hood. The everyday pressures that teens face cause insecurities in both girls and boys. These insecurities then drive those teens to react in dangerous ways, causing huge problems. Teens are…
