Trailer trash

white trailer, and a tiny, little house type porch, built out of wood. It was completely empty, and the wood had holes in it. They were surprised to know it was still standing, as it was clear that it had been that way for a long time. “Let’s get in this trailer and try to find some food inside.” Gina brainstormed. The door on the trailer was locked. Donna and Jenny took a piece of wood they found and hit it against the door to get it open. The inside of the trailer was dirty, and had trash…

After spending the first month of my summer playing video games, eating junk food, and binging Netflix shows, I wanted to do something fun while also helping the community. Brainstorming ideas, my mom recommended volunteering at a senior center. While I was not interested at first, I wanted to try new experiences as much as I possibly could. The next day, we went to the Forsyth Senior Center and an old gentleman greeted us with extreme kindness. Asking about any volunteer opportunities at the…

White trash has become a massive history in America dating back from the colonial period in Jamestown to the present day. Isenberg, in her book about the ‘white trash’ and as ‘the face of a white trash’, explains the unpleasant fine points of our national identity, tying to the America’s social hierarchy and how America has never offered an equal opportunity to all white comers. She gives us a very powerful insight about how the imagery of the class system and the consistency of prejudice is…

of the car and the male neighbors next door were standing by their car just staring. As i was pulling the trash can in, I noticed HUGE slashes in the top of the trash can. The plastic was thick. I wondered what had happened. I asked my mom when she got home from work if she had noticed anything. She said no and went out to go look. She said the lid was not like that when she pulled the trash can out this morning. I told her how that the neighbors were staring intently when I came home…” This…

In turn, my classmate labeled me “white trash.” It was the first time I had been referred to as that and I was taken aback. The association of words left me wondering, was I really garbage? My family surely did not sit around chewing tobacco and drinking beer in the trailer park all day. From what I knew of the social expectations of “white trash,” I matched none of them. I did not have a mullet. That was for certain. After this incident the words white trash resonated with me. I strived to do…

At loading/unloading places you can meet great people. I surely have met more than my fair share. Their job is tough also. I have met driver who I broke bread with, talked trash with, cut up and clowned with, and even talked about trucking and life in general. Great people, and many of them and I are friends to this day. I took my father, may he rest in peace, with me and he said the biggest kick he got while with me was the number of Drivers we bumped into that knew me, or how many drivers…

J. Berg in 2012, is about the Murder of three eight-year-old boys. The evolving of the story positions the audience to accept that the West Memphis three were the victims of personal greed, and a miscarriage of justice cause by upbringing as “trailer trash”. Which is soon shown to allegations and not based off solid evidence. Growing up I was taught to be honest a helpful and obviously treat people with respect, but I was taught that the authorities should also have the same morals. By doing so…

As a child my heritage and parents background never really interested me nor was I informed of it, my family on the other hand would somewhat taunt me for not embracing my Hispanic heritage in full arms or how I was a "Gringa"- translation a white girl. However, as a child I believed I had valid reasoning behind ignoring my heritage and neglecting my family's prominent traditions and sacrifices. When I peeked at the age of 10, I was in elementary school, when the idea of social classes and…
