A young Maya Angelou grew up in a strict household under the rule of Grandmother Henderson, who had two rules: “Thou shall not be dirty” and “Thou shall not be impudent.” In short, Maya was to be nice and respectful toward everyone. One day a group known as the powhitetrash girls began harassing Grandmother Henderson, who had earlier on told Maya to stay inside. She was, however, the closest thing Maya had to a mother, which had Maya torn between her desire to help Grandmother Henderson and her obligation to remain indoors.

The world today has many issues that can be fixed with one simple solution, and that is kindness. The issues that the world faces today are mostly created by humans, which means they can also be fixed by humans. Sherman Alexie and Ella Wheeler Wilcox both claim that people can do things that are not right. These poems both depict the importance of kindness in the world today in order to show that we as human believe in making the world a better place because we live on the world and want it to be beautiful.

Over the past few years, racial tensions in America have heightened. During this period, Black America undergo the daily struggle of witnessing the killing of unarmed black men and women. Victims of these endless killings and police brutality, turned into one of many hashtags, which led to the formations of the Black Lives Matter movement. Solange Knowles, younger sister of Beyoncé, soul singer and songwriter was viewed as the angry black woman. Solange used her platform to speak up. She became the most outspoken black artist for black activism in recent years. She embodies the image of a carefree black girl who is willing to let the world know that she is proud of her blackness.

Seane Corn’s podcast was two-fold: educational and invigorating. Hearing her talk about her journey to happiness is a true testimonial to naysayers who are having doubts about the positive effects of yoga. Corn’s journey to happiness, as she conveyed, was not an easy one. She had to clamber her way from an unsettled place as a child growing up in unstable home. She explained how her blue-collar working class parents raised her in an environment where religious practices were not present and how, as a little girl, she thought of herself as “uneducated.” She abused drugs and the tender age of 19 was diagnosed with “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.” She even suffered from an anxiety disorder but these dark episodes of her life eventually led to healing and happiness once she discovered yoga.

About 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the United States are affected by divorce (American Psychological Association). Shania Twain’s music video, “Life’s About to Get Good,” pertains to her divorce with her husband in June of 2010. Shania Twain uses emotion, imagery, and her own life experience to relate to her audience through this song. Through these specific key points she is able to bring the audience to her attention and show them a deeper meaning of her divorce. Though this song does point out her divorce it is more directed towards how she copes with it and lets go of her relationship, while staying optimistic through it all. Throughout the music video she reminisces on her past to show her moving on and letting go. A scene in the music video shows her going through her closet and struggling with getting rid of certain items. This is foreshadowing her fear of letting go of her past. The message she is conveying to her viewers is that, it is important to keep what made you strong, but let go of what tears you down. Due to the songs use of bright colors and upbeat music, it describes that people in a dark situation should know that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Although I believe emulating artwork is not plagiarism, I believe the artist must develop their own ideas off the original work. For instance, Sherrie Levine and her social commentary. Levine mimics male artists to comment on male-dominated art world. However, her photo are re-photographed echos, they are not photos of the original works (photos of photos). Thus, I wonder when an artworks such as Richard Prince’s screen captured portraits become his own work. Does commentary or the stimulation of new ideas, a non-concrete change, from the initial artwork, make it a an authentic work? Does the fact that these portraits evoke questions of their validity solidify their art status? In the case of Sherrie Levine, I believe she does not need to

In today’s midst of commotion, many of us seem to forget to stop, take a breath, and consider the moments that escape our everyday lives. A result of this includes memories fading due to our hectic schedules. Soon we find ourselves alone with no one to share our success with. Friends become people whom you pass by in the shopping mall, or have stalked their pages on social media and accustom yourself to saying you developed “a friendship.” Family events become a time to connect with others solely through a “reunion” once a year. These examples are few and far between the habitual factors each of us display day in and day out. It is necessary to set aside an hour of your day to take action and become “humble and kind.” Many

Amy Lavoie in the Harvard gazette quotes “If any ESP processes exist, then participants’ brains should respond differently to ESP and non-ESP stimuli,” explains Moulton. “Instead, results showed that participants’ brains responded identically to ESP and non-ESP stimuli, despite reacting strongly to differences in how emotional the stimuli were and showing subtle, stimulus-related effects.”.

First off, Annie Sullivan demonstrates a large amount of persistence and determination. there is an example of this trait on page 45, "You think I'm so easily gotten rid of?" No matter the cost Annie is determined to stick around and teach Helen the ways of a normal child, as long as the Keller's will allow her. Another example is located on page 56, "Then leave me alone with her. Now!" Annie is willing to risk her job and paycheck to be able to reach Helen's unhampered

My parents were the boho, beatnicky type and they raised some pretty offbeat children. As a young girl I took a liking to French silent film actress Jeanne Roques. Roques, best known by her stage name Musidora, was a bit of a vamp, much like American actress Theda Bara. When we played with our dolls, I shunned names like Brigitte or Madeline, opting instead to call mine after them. I religiously poured over biographies and included them in my angst filled, adolescent creative writing pieces.

After reading the battle hymn of the Tiger mother by Amy Chua in which she explains the difference between traditional Chinese parenting and that of most Western parents. The could be said that Chinese parents raise their children to be math whizzes or musical prodigies and that Western parents raise their children with the kids feelings in mind, being less strict and wearing about the self-esteem and confidence of the child. In my opinion all parents have different opinions on how best to raise their children, and everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. My particular opinion goes against that of Amy Chua’s parenting style in her book she states the things her children were not allowed to do such as go to sleep over, play sports, watch TV or play computer games, according to Ms. Chua if her children were not two years ahead in math of everyone else in the class they were failing. I personally feel that even though children raised in a strict Tiger mom home do excel academically, but in so doing I feel that by not being allowed to participate in some extra curricular activities such as sports or drama or even to be able to go to a sleepover or have a play date with friends seriously hampers them on the social level.
