It is evident that there are still a number of falsehoods that contribute to the adversity many people of color have to overcome in this country. Yale Law School professor, Harlon L. Dalton and Sociologists Naomi Gerstal and Natalia Sarkisian dissect two such falsehoods in their respective essays. In his essay, “Horatio Alger” Dalton takes on the rags-to-riches myth commonly portrayed in Horatio Alger’s works of fiction. Likewise, Gerstal and Sarkisian’s study on Black, White, and Latino families reveals data that debunks the widely held belief that families of color are weaker and more disorganized than their white counterparts. While both essays examine myths that negatively affect Black and Latino people, the authors often use different

There is no doubt that war is evil in every way. It is full of hatred and conflict and nothing comes out of it. It brings death, destruction, and the worst out of people. In a pacifistic yet desperate tone, Dalton Trumbo promotes anti-war ideals by explaining the life of a young soldier after he got affected by war in his novel Johnny Got His Gun. While some individuals’ point of view match with Trumbo’s, others may disagree with his reasoning. The controversial issue of the acceptance of war is talked about everybody, even popular artists. Some singers express their opinions on war via their songs, like George H. Cohan in his song “Over There (Johnny, Get Your Gun)”, and the band Metallica with their song “One”. Each sends different messages depending on the setting, their music’s genre, and diction used in the making of the lyrics.

In the early 16 century, Europeans learned about Natives in the Americas through images depicted by early conquerors. Fortunately, we have several first-hand account by a settler who depicts them in paintings by the name of John White. While these accounts have their limitations in terms of accuracy, it is apparent that Europeans tended to view the indigenous peoples as lacking morality but in my opinion John White proves all the speculation wrong.

Every individual comes to a point in their life in which they begin to swim away from the harbor their parents raised them in, and begin navigating their own life. Dalton Trumbo uniquely portrays the familiar concept of coming-of-age, within a passage from his novel Johnny Got His Gun, in which he depicts a son wanting to take a friend fishing instead of his father who has taken him annually during their camping trip. Trumbo gives insight into the internal turmoil that strikes when confronting ones parents about wanting to drift away from the anchor they’ve been for them. He clearly articulates his point, illustrating the flow in thought from tense to reflective using precise selection of detail, applying a shift in point of view, and naturalistic imagery.

The fact that victim was black caused such a massive outrage in the St. Louis city. Would the city respond the same however if the victim was white? It turns out no.

When he was pulled over at a gas station Noble got out of the truck and was acting suspicious.

Now, as you may know of already, obesity is one of the biggest problems we face in America today. Many people can actually be athletic and not lazy at all but tend to eat unhealthily, after all it's 20% exercise and 80% diet. However, that's why I would like to introduce a dessert that is not only just absolutely delicious but healthy too! It is nonfat strawberry-coconut ice cream.

The movie My Cousin Vinny follows two young men, Bill and Stan, as they embark on their journey to UCLA. Along the way, they become hungry and decide to stop at the Sack Of Suds, an unassuming little convenience store in Alabama, to buy a few refreshments. After leaving the store, Bill discovers that he has accidentally forgotten to pay for a can of tuna. Soon following his realization, the men get pulled over by a cop and are arrested. After a short interrogation by the police, Stan confesses to what he thinks is shoplifting. However, it is quickly realized that their charges are much more serious than that and the boys now face the ultimate capital punishment, death. As it turns out, shortly after they left the Sack of Suds, the store clerk was murdered. Having been the last persons seen at the crime scene, Stan and Bill are now the number one suspects in the clerk’s murder. Unable to afford a lawyer, they enlist the help of Bill’s cousin, Vinny Gambini.

The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, Johnny Cade, a very dynamic character that was referred to a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, but is yet known as a happy go lucky type of kid. Johnny’s parents didn’t care about what he did, his father was abusive, and his mother just doesn’t care what he does unless he does something wrong, then she yells at him. Johnny is the life in the gang, even though he is the most quiet and shy. Throughout the story the book shows how people helped him and how he helped others, including Ponyboy. Johnny Cade was 16, had long jet black bangs, and has big black eyes. Johnny was a greaser that didn’t like to fight but would if it came down to it. Johnny is a jumpy kid, he is always on the lookout for a group of Socs (a rival gang) that are ready to jump him. One night Johnny and Ponyboy met these girls, Cherry, and Marcia. They saw a movie together and when it was over they walked them home. As they were walking home a car came around, and it was a group of Socs. Johnny looked worried because it was the same people that had jumped him. All they did was picked up the girls and didn’t say a word.

How often, and for how long had Karl imagined it; to have the Heiress in the position she was now in. The answer was many times; ever since he'd first been employed by Huntington. From the beginning, he'd known the fantasies were just that, and Alexandra was out of his league, and hence out of his reach. Even if she'd been interested, and desired him as man, which he'd always very much doubted, a woman of her class and prestige would never stoop to sleep with a man such as he. Especially, a daughter of Blair Huntington. However, he'd obviously pegged her wrong, and he'd seen the fact that she'd dared to date Richard Treloar as a slight upon himself.

“Get me a new fucking monitor!” Highly Suspect’s lead singer and guitarist Johnny Stevens was livid after the band’s opening song “Lost.” Confused, I looked around at other members of the crowd and found that they were equally curious – the performance had been as bold as Stevens’ demand. The opening song was a display of unbelievable rhythmical control that could be appreciated even without knowing the band could not hear themselves, or that Stevens had slurred his way through greeting the crowd. Highly Suspect is primed to bring unapologetically audacious sound and personality back to the floundering genre of rock.

Stanley is a Sales Representative for Dunder Mifflin and believes that as long as he makes enough sales to generate the money he needs for him and his family, he does not need to be involved in any other way. In several episodes Stanley will attend various types of meetings while solving a Sudoku or cross word puzzle and will not participate. In one particular scene, the manager Michael calls Stanley out and asks him for his opinion demanding that he puts down what he is doing. Stanley insisted that he did not want to be involved in the meeting and that he wanted to be left alone. Aside from that, Stanley is even seen sleeping
