Third Street Promenade

It was eight o’clock and the park was on lock. From the top of Washington Park to the bottom, Posters with R.I.P. Jay had been posted on every telegram pole. Three massive barbecue grills were smoking and had the whole park smelling like hardwood hickory smoke blended with weed. Thomasina, her brother David, and Larry, were doing the grilling. The deejay had a compilation of hip-hop songs from every era. Little kids were standing under the gazebo doing all of the latest dances or bouncing around…

It was a nice warm day on the beach in Southern California, where there was an egg. “What do I hear? Is that a voice? Let’s listen to hear what is being said.” “Hello! Hello, it’s dark in here. I have been in the dark for a long time, if I can only find a door.” Timmy started beating on the sides of the shell with his flipper, all of a sudden; he had made a crack in it. “What’s this, I see, light?” Timmy hit the crack over and over again. The more he hit the crack the…

When I saw a homeless person on the streets in Las Vegas, I sat next to him and initiated a conversation. Imagine having nothing to work with. No home, no food, no education. Most of you reading this essay, have never experienced this. I myself have never experienced it either but what I do know is that everybody likes to be recognized in their own way. Some people want to be the center of everything. They want the spotlight in the world, and some people just want to be noticed.…

It is often interesting viewing your world and reality through the eyes of other people, listening as they decipher and make assumptions, none all that accurate, about the facts, while you 're left to live those facts. Americans have a lot of opinions about Haiti and about as many questions too. As soon as people know that I’m Haitian, I get flooded with questions that I highly doubt they want the answers to: “Why is Haiti so poor?” “Do you do voodoo?” “Where does all the relief money go?” “Why…

In this fictional society, the traditional values and moral that most in our society are accustomed to, especially during the time period which the book was published, are absent or seen as taboos. However, half a century later, not only is our society not far from the World State and implementing the wrong ideas from…

Early April 2016 North Carolina passed a law restricting governments from passing laws that are anti- discriminatory. With this law in effect it will lead to the protection of transgender people. Discrimination against transgenders is against the law and has stirred up arguments throughout the nation. With more and more transgenders standing up against discrimination, this has become a national issue. There has never been one case reported where a transgender has attacked anyone in a public…

Between “Hear Her Roar” by Rana Foroohar, which in 2009 was published in Newsweek and “Life on the Global Assembly Line” by Barbara Ehrenreich and Annette Fuentes, among the first readings to recognize the importance of working women globally, we are able to realize how women in different regions of the country face everyday reality. The undeniable fact that women in the workforce, globally, have not yet reached a level of equality to men is at the heart of both “Hear Her Roar” and “Life on the…

The same way Peterson was perceived as strange because he seemed to be the only person in his pastoral group to read books, I was the only person in my group of friends at home with a global vision. In Tanzania, I realized that at although at home I was isolated in my interests, when placed in an international community, Atheists and Muslims make up the majority. In undeveloped areas, American Christians are grossly underrepresented in the medical dynamic. In America, Christianity is the…
