Where I'm Calling From

at one point he even tells people to “kill that dog. Then you’ll put a stop to it”(Malcom X). Although, it may seem like he is calling for all-out violence, he later clarifies in his speech that this is not what he is saying. Malcom X states, “I'm nonviolent with those who are nonviolent with me. But when you drop that violence on me, then you've made me go insane, and I'm not responsible for what I do. And that's the way every Negro should get”(Malcom X) This continues to show his willingness…

remembered screaming her brother’s name when the car went airborne. She whimpered when she tried to move again. Where was Ben? Calling out for him didn’t work. Looking down she felt a rushing wave that distorted her vision. Blood and bone were twisted and lay all wrong. She called for her brother again.…

The author claims he is rapping as a teenager trying to impress his friends, not as a gangbanger. The author, also, states in the music video it's mostly about teen Kendrick rapping, but for a few seconds it cuts to an expressionless adult Kendrick where there is the trope of women with a big butt shaking her bum, then it cuts back to teenage Lamar. The author states "it's meant to make the view jarred and uncomfortable while addressing the hyper masculinity and sexism if gangster rap videos.…

Now they all go separate ways when they are about four minutes away from their houses.…

the authors point out that once women become forthright and confident, both other women and men will dislike them and calling them, Bossy. Indeed that is true from my point of view. In a movie as well as in reality, especially girls in groups often talk behind another girl's back, who is independent and straightforward, on how "Bossy" she is in working. The key point of calling a female "Bossy" is not only take away one's confidence, but also the belief and capacity within herself. In particular…

her ear. "I'm calling... p-people..." she answered, then going back to the phone. "Operator, I'm so sorry, I have to go off the line... there's someone I need to call..." You could hear the lady on the other end raise her voice in order to keep Gwen on the line, but instead, she hung up. This was who Gwen was, stark and straightforward. "Who are you calling...??" I asked. She dialed the phone and then answered. "Daddy...?" I could hear the voice from where I was standing. "GWEN? WHERE ARE…

is right and wrong. Also, their presence creates a bad influence on Huck, but it allows Huck to grow up from being the little boy he once was. “...These liars warn’t no kings nor dukes at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds.” (Twain, 125) It shows how the world is full of liars and crooks and how Huck found it best just to accept them as who they claimed to be then going ahead and calling them out for who they really were. He had been mature enough to make that decision so he wouldn’t…

me weirdly then grinned, “Boys, I made her laugh and smile! Beat that!” I shake my head, what a goofball. “What are you gonna do with the photo?” “Post it on Twitter and Instagram.” I shrug my shoulders, as long as they don’t try to track me down, I’m fine. #Selfie with new edition…

As Holden’s mental state diminishes as his story continues, readers can view and learn from his insufficient means of caring for himself and asking for help, as well as his tendency to mask his problems. Holden acknowledges his self-deprecating and destructive personality by saying, “I swear to God I’m a madman,” which is then compounded by his poor decision-making, (Salinger, 149). Towards the end of the story, as he is deep in his desolation, he begins to hallucinate that, “every time I’d get…

built-up anger from dealing with the way people have always treated him for being African American. Even though this film came out in 1958, people in the United States are angry with the racists that fill our world with negativity and ignorance. Not a whole lot seems to be different considering the mass amount of racist people that flood the United States. For example, white supremacists commit disgusting hate crimes such as Dylann Roof, who shot and killed nine people…
