My Life Is A Jaw-Dropping Moment

The Netflix satire not only explores how media perpetuates racial narratives that ultimately give way to the jaw-dropping moments of racial tension in episodes 5 and 10. It simultaneously explores how the same media spaces provide distraction and even comfort for the traumatized through the proliferation of reality television and “Shondaland” shows. Following the chaos surrounding Troy’s arrest, Dear White People ends on Defamation Wednesday at the dorm. Defamation is one of many callbacks to popular

My Personal History A little while back I was invited to see a Broadway show for my cousin's birthday, and I was very happy to find out it was a show I had been listening to for some time. I was extremely excited to see something that I already loved, and with the original cast! The theater was beautiful and the set very modern, with blinking lights and screen projection. It was nothing like I had ever seen before; however, the show itself has shaped me to be who I am today. Watching this piece

To My Niece, Gabrielle Herbert I’ll never forget the day Gabrielle was born. She was born prematurely over 2 months early, weighing in at just over 2 lbs. I was shocked, surprised and scared for both her and her mother. Her mom was in a coma for 3 days and Gabrielle was quickly whisked away to NICU in a different hospital. I visited her often, hoping for the best but thinking the worse may happen. So tiny and frail. The odds were against her. About a month later she was coming home earlier than

The main purpose of my essay is to illustrate the negative impact of corporal punishment, using my experience in Nigeria as a case study. I think the essay is tightly focused as I specifically talked about how corporal punishment negatively impacts people’s pain coping mechanisms. The theme I developed was corporal punishment as a vaccine for pain. There is a clear shape to my essay beginning, middle and end. The first paragraph serves as an introduction/thesis statement, the second paragraph a

The cool crisp air brushes across my skin as I step out of the camper. My lungs fill with the fresh mountain air of the morning. As I wrap myself in a sweater, I can feel the moisture in the air on my face. As the heavy fog begins to clear, I see slight shadows of the pointy snow-capped mountains peeking through. I can’t wait to get the day started! I fell in love with Olympic National Park for the amazing hiking trails, beautiful Crescent Lake, and the breath-taking Sol Duc Falls. When I walk along

board the ship and how jaw dropping it was to be so close to this colossal cruise, I mean it was truly mind-blowing. From here on my first day at sea was a memory I will never forget, being on the top deck overlooking the deep blue ocean brought peace to my mind, while the cool breeze soothes my body. Clearly this is about to get even better as I would be visiting one of the Virgin’s Islands called ST. Maarten where the waters stay flawlessly clear blue and spotless. Furthermore, my last day out at sea

wanderings in his mind. He looked up at the soaring rock formation above the clearing. A lone, twisted pine had managed somehow to grow from the sheer face of the stone. He had stared at it many times, yet it had never appeared to him as it did at that moment, when its perpendicular lines seemed clearly to form a cross. He accepted for the first time that he would die there in that

this request. I could picture the jaws dropping as they heard the words coming out of the mother’s mouth. Jesus did not lash out with a response, but calmly started his reply with “You do not know what you are asking.” The choice of words really appealed to me. It was stern but in a gracious way. It was setting the opportunity for Jesus to “teach” them what they do not know. I started thinking of how I would react to a bold request that is inappropriate. My gut reaction would be to become defensive

“His jaw was in his throat, his upper lip and teeth were gone, his one eye was shut, his other eye was a star-shaped hole, his eyebrows were thin and arched like a woman’s”(172 O’Brien). The Vietnam War was one of the most difficult and deadliest wars that Americans have fought in. The United States first entered the war to stop the spread of communism from North Vietnam, and to help the United States ally (France) to keep Vietnam as a territory. This led to France completely dropping out of the

And with that said I run, dropping the bag of ice and completely forgetting about Flich. That’s the first place they’ll check for me. The only option I have is to escape this building and make a sprint for the well. Now, I really wish I hadn’t hid that gun under my bed and had kept it on me. If the Reds find me, I can fight them, but if the demon finds me… I shake my head. The chances of me escaping the demon are thin. At least with another human, I’m on the same playing-field. As I run, trying
