Mi Vida Loca means “my crazy life (as a girl).” The movie documents the phenomenon of female gangs in the early nineties in Los Angeles. It is written and directed by Allison Anders, who grew up in Los Angeles and went to UCLA. She uses personal experiences to help influence her story writing. In Echo Park, a group of young Mexican-Americans show what it means to live in the inner city. The film looks at gang lifestyle from a woman’s point of view to uncover relationships, conflicts, gang loyalty, and identity. The “homegirls” portray their female friendships through their daily lives of survival in Echo Park. It is a rough life with almost every “homegirl” having a baby by the time they are twenty-one and almost every
A gang is an organized group with a recognized leader whose activities are either criminal or, at the very least, threatening to the community. (Walker, 2011) Throughout history there have been some infamous gangs that have gotten media attention and others that have gone under the radar. One of the more underground gang structures are prison gangs. The Nuestra Familia may not be in the news as much anymore compared to other gangs, but they are nothing to be taken lightly. Prison gangs have been around since the late 20th century and only seem to be getting stronger if nothing is going to be done to prevent them. Gangs in prison have members in and out of prison. One of the more popular gangs that has been gaining steam recently is

Here we go again, same old thing again, is a traditional cadence sang by thousands of military boot camp hopefuls while marching or running in basic training. The meaning behind the cadence symbolizes the same trying and demanding training these trainees go through every day. Ultimately, this strict daily routine comes to an end for them after twelve long grueling weeks. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the rigorous draining of the Ogallala aquifer located in the heart of America’s breadbasket.
Due to one of the 5 axioms in Urban Economics- Prices adjust to achieve Location equilibrium- you can already assume that property prices in LA are going to be extremely high. LA has beautiful year-round weather, a huge economy for advancing industries and amazing geography. LA ranks 2nd out of 180 cities in the STC climate index, making it an ideal place to live.

This poem contains historical and christian references, and the track is built around a repeating string section, it is also a form of Lyrical poetry. And as in all Lyrical poems, this poem has rhythm, rhyme, metaphors, repetition,alliteration, etc. For example, in the line “It was the wicked and wild wind” there's alliteration, also in “I hear the Jerusalem bells ringing” it says that four times, and that's what you call repetition. Anyways, let's continue from that “Viva La Vida” meaning live long life has to do with the fact that he had a good long rich life while he was king and In the poem the narrator tells about his journey when he was king and how he lost that and now he was a
The Ogallala aquifer provides ground water for eight states: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. It is a major source of water for agriculture in our nation’s farmland. Much of our wheat, corn, and dairy and beef come from the states that lie over the Ogallala Aquifer. Many of these farms are heavily dependent of the aquifer to provide the water they need to keep in business due to the lack of surface water in the region. Even with the improved technology to monitor how much water is needed for the crops the Ogallala Aquifer is rapidly becoming depleted. If not managed properly it is possible that there will be a repeat of the Dust Bowl. (Parker, L., & Olson, R., 2017) The aquifer’s recharge rate
Profile picture was him and a surfboard - this man looks tall, dark, and handsome - a must meet! He states he is artistic and currently in between Jujitsu careers (oh boy, first red flag). I shake it off, considering myself as being way too judgmental; stop it Tammy - We move forward with the 'meeting' - Big Sur is 5'5 with work boots on and soft-spoken - slightly balding, strands poke through, here and there, like piglet hair. Definitely not a match - now what? Must fill an hour's worth of bullshit small talk in order to get through this, thank GOD I babble when nervous- WAIT! I got a text from some biker guy during the 'so where have you been in the United States question' (like I care) – I use this as my emergency text to take off -
I am a Mexican-American who was raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I identify myself as a Latina since both my parents are Mexicans, and I have always recognized my ethnicity as Hispanic. I have an older brother from Hollywood, California, and a younger sister from Las Vegas, Nevada. My mother is from the state Durango, which is located in Northern Mexico. My father is from Jalisco, Mexico, which is located in the west central part of the Mexican Republic. Both my parents grew up in humble small towns and came to the United States for citizenship and a better future in the 1980s. They both lived and met in southern California and later moved to Las Vegas because of better job opportunities. My entire family has continued to live in Las Vegas and I have never lived anywhere else.
How does Haddon’s portrayal of the relationship between Christopher and his world move us to a deeper understanding of acceptance? In your response make a detailed reference to your prescribed text.
House, despite having a sexist main character and hardly and characters who are women, is my very favorite television show. When I watch (which, by the way, is every week; religiously), I do so because of the intensity and intrigue of the program. The various medical cases that the show involves keep me on my toes and excited for what is about to happen next. It wasn't until this week, however, that I noticed just how many inequalities and separations there are between men and women in the show.
