High school Commencement in the United States is a tradition like no other. Every June, high school seniors dress in their Sunday best and head to the tried-and-true ritual. Parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles swarm to secondary institutions with their cameras in hand. With the sea of hats and gowns, the graduating class is unified and united. Over the recent decades, Commencements across the United States have incorporated cords and stoles.

There are three ways Luther Nedeed is simultaneously a positive and negative role model for young men who represent the ages of Willie and Lester. First, Luther Nedeed believes in the importance of family but while doing so, he destroys many people, especially his wife and son. This is important because it shows that people can feel a certain way, but in the end, actions speak louder than words. Second, Luther Nedeed inspires hope and shows that the American dream is possible but while achieving this dream, it causes some people to sell themselves out. This is significant because it shows that if the prize to achieve the dream is the loss of one’s soul or compromise of one’s standards, the price is too high to pay. Third, Nedeed wants to

Long Beach contains 38.6% of whites, 16.9% of blacks, 14.8% of Asians, and 37.8% of Hispanics, as we can see in Long Beach, Hispanics and whites make up a great percentage in the population and I think this is true.

I think I am slightly confused by the statement, “the authors of your text make an argument that California should stand as a separate region of the United States and Canada.” Does that mean as its own region in the book or as its own self-governed country within the continent of North America?

It was as if she didn’t care if I was even disposed of.” She turned around and walked toward the elevator. She pressed the button and (again) looked at her face in the mirror. This time, her reflection looked much more confident than before.

As evening approached, I rose from the bed, the form of my body leaving a ghost-like imprint on the comforter. I smoothed out the impression, knowing how Melissa liked things neat, and traded my old clothes for new ones. After changing I looked into the full-length mirror on the back of the door. I looked like some college leftover in a pair of camouflage pants and an Aéropostale shirt. As I left the building, a soldier broke from behind the desk and followed at my heels.

The formal. Apparently the hardest part of our high school lives, a night we are all suppose to remember. Well this formal has definitely scarred me for life. All the money spent, the illegal drinking, the boys and most of all Tatiana’s brother, Frank. Although of course you have not yet heard of him or his stupid bad ass accomplishments. Let me take you back.

People who attended the concert were also dressed formal and fancy like, they look sophisticated. People wore suits, dresses, some had on formal shirts and pants.

The definition of ritual is: “a patterned, repetitive and symbolic enactment of a cultural belief or value” (Davis-Floyd, as cited in Dubisch, p.279). With that, I realized had my theme: a Formal. In college the equivalent to a Prom are Formals. Nevertheless, like a Prom, Formals have many cultural beliefs and values, from tuxedos and dresses to what to eat, and how to dance. Formals are supposed to fun and memorable, and how you and your date choose to make create those memories. As with all rituals, Formals have traditional preparations and symbols that have true cultural beliefs and values. In this paper, I will argue that Formals are not only a ritual, but a rite of passage, mostly for the girl, but as a guy you can help make it memorable by using symbols that have meaning and will make the night unforgettable.

Monday morning has arrived and is at full volume announcing itself as the alarm clock is screaming from the nightstand. With little sleep and a stomach full of nerves I climb out of bed slapping the noise into silence, and rub my eyes. The blank spaces on the wall remind me where my degrees used to hang. Aright Anne, wake up. In hopes of calming my nervous stomach I make my way into the kitchen for something subtle; coffee and a bagel. Watching the morning news I sneer; it will be a hot and humid day. After having breakfast, I check the clock and jump into the shower struggling to wake. Today will be hot so I decide on something lightweight. Stop being so nervous I tell myself again as I pull the towel from my wet hair and gaze into the mirror. I need a good concealer today as my blue eyes appear tired. I comb through my long blonde hair and blow-dry it. As I wrap my hair into a hair clip I make my way to the closet. Choosing my light pink dress shirt, dark-gray trousers and black strappy heels I stand staring into the mirror. Time for makeup as I remind myself not too much I need to keep it professional. I choose a set of earrings and my favorite ring with a matching bracelet. A final check in the mirror and I’m done. Spinning with nervous thoughts; I try to remember who my first patient is this morning, and I realize I have forgotten the name. My subconscious screams way to go! How

My shoes are sodden once again. They can’t be heard over the rain that paints the sidewalk black but I can feel every water molecule clinging to my toes. I should know by now, after five years of living in Portland, that rain is a given yet here I am: frozen, hungry, anxious, waiting in the dark for a bus.
