I also thought the book was telling me to be adventurous and do crazy things in life. Reading “Oh The Places You’ll Go” as a 17-year-old and thinking about where I want to go to college, the message the book sent me was that life is full of many hard decisions and making important choices are not easy to do. So choose your paths wisely and explore what is out there in the world and explore the many options. The “Waiting Place” in the book is a symbol to me as a place where people go who are waiting for something new and exiting to happen in their life. It is an underlying message given to the readers that opportunities aren’t just given to you in life, you must search for them your self by travelling to new places and experiencing new things.
However, the most important lesson that hip-hop taught me was to be thankful for what I have. When I listened to songs about people in the ghetto struggling to stay alive or living on the streets, I realized how good I had it as a kid. I began to have a new appreciation and view on life. Without my ability to learn about American culture and to listen to the music that comes from it, I would not be the person who I am

This ideology makes it difficult for young African American to push away from rappers influences and compete in their beyond their identification. Above all rapping creates a retro division among us. Based on the rapper certain groups of people would not listen to his or her music. Hip hop is a roadblock to success, but it is a cry for black
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a very important story for every high schooler to read. Although it does a little more then slightly hint at the racism in that time period, it also teaches readers. It shows racism in such a horrible light, that nobody could revert to such a thing. Our past isn’t always the nicest thing to look upon, but it’s still there. The difference is what we do in the future, and this novel teaches us that everyone is equal and shall be treated as
1. I truly believe that John Singleton used the unusual spelling in this film’s title to appeal to his core audience, young African Americans. I believe had he used the correct spelling of the title that maybe it would not have been so eye catching. I also may be way off base but I was intrigued by the use of the capital N in the title. I have to wonder if Singleton did not use this as a way to get across the ugly word that so many are afraid to even hear uttered.
Human Nature According to “the lottery” When the first time I read “ the lottery ” by Shirley Jackson I was confused and angry , thinking and asking why somebody write a story like this , but after I read it again with a broader view I can see what the writer of the story trying to say about the human nature throughout the characters of the story . Especially the great influence of tradition on human and how often people give up their own opinion and belief some time their emotion when the acting as part of a group. Tradition gain power form the fear of change even in some time the idea of change
The textbook ambiguously explained how to complete each grammar exercise, and I was never sure if I was completing the assignment correctly. I believe it would benefit the students more to assign a few grammar exercises each week, and review a limited amount at the beginning of each class, to assure the work is done correctly. I also feel the syllabus needs to be more specific about the “long hand” section of the grammar assignment. The pages are separated by a dash, but not all pages are part of the listed section. Instead of separating individual pages by a dash, the assignment should simply be listed pages 604-649 written out long hand.
To me, my cultural artifact speech felt like it was just going to naturally flow out. I practiced it several times but every time I practiced the speech I found myself changing bits and pieces of it. My Livestrong bracelet means so much to me and to talk about it sounded like it was going to be easy, but I was wrong. I did not stick to my outline, I feel like because I didn’t decide on one last final draft is why my speech delivery wasn’t good. Not staying with my speech outline it made me nervous and because I didn’t want to stumble, I stumbled
Why I Hate English Class (essay one) In a lot of countries, school is taken very seriously and teachers are looked at as the people trusted with teaching others what they need to know to enter the world. Many may say some classes are more important than others and some may like one subject more than another. This could be because it’s too hard or the class may be too boring. But the reasons I hate English, are the long drawn out essays, the thick novels we are always assigned to read, and the ever-changing rules to how the English language is spoken and written. The long essays are the first on my list to explain why I hate English so much.
