English is the standard language of America. In the essay “Nobody Mean More to Me than You and the Future Life of Willie Jordan” by June Jordan, Jordan demonstrates and confirms that Black English represents African Americans’ identity, and how the language should be taught. June Jordan, examines the black dialect in United States and evaluates the pros and cons that normal language can have on those who speak black english. Jordan believes if that a specific language of a race is not recognized, then the race, identity and authority as a one are ignored. June Jordan begins the essay by introducing a course she had taught “In Search of the Invisible Black Woman.” She commits most of the essay to describing her personal experience in this college course as well as a different one, “The Art of Black English.”

The main focus of Geoff Colvin’s, “What It Takes to Be Great”, published October 30, 2006, by Fortune, is on the importance that talent is to success. Researches were curious on,”how people were able to go on improving”, or how much is talent needed for success. They studied the best of the best in a variety of fields, such as: Michael Jordan, Winston Churchill, Vladimir Horowitz, Tiger Woods, and many more. Most people believe that talent makes someone great, but Colvin concludes, that people aren’t great through talent, but through deliberate practice. Deliberate practice involves a healthy mindset, consistency, obsessive practice, and discipline. Colvin shares,”The critical reality is that we are not hostage to some naturally given level

In the article, “Ferguson mourners urged to take role in changing U.S. race relations” by Kurtis Lee, Molly Hennessy-Fiske, and Tina Susman of the Los Angeles Times, it is asserted using description and dialogue that nobody is going to help them if they do not help themselves. Lee, Hennessy-Fiske, and Susman first develop their claim through description. An example of this is, “Sharpton’s message to the crowd gathered inside the church, in [overflowing] rooms, and outside in the searing heat, was that Brown’s death must mark the beginning of a change, not only in the justice system but in the role African-Americans play in making it happen” (para 8). This quote illustrates how important civil rights is and how many people are

Technology is something we use every day, we use it to research we use it to communicate with people. Though some people can be skeptical and on the fence with technology, they want to know if it helps us or hurts us. They want to know if we can do anything on our own without the help of technology. Even though that people feel like that Michaela Cullington author of “Does Texting Affect Writing?” looks at both sides of the argument surrounding technology effect on writing and ultimately shows how it doesn’t affect writing. Likewise, Clive Thompson author of “Smarter Than You Think” also has a stand point on how technology and shows it helps us not harm us in the way people think. After reading Cullington’s article it provides example of how

The central idea of this article is that you think that you never eaten a bug but you already did. The author supports this central idea by in paragraph 5 of the article “I Hate to Break it to You, but You Already Eat Bugs” says, “Staples like broccoli and canned

First of all I would like to clarify that Look Both Ways is not simply a ‘movie’. It is a film, a narrative film. And through depicting the life experiences of a few mundane Australians over a single scorching weekend, independent director Sarah Watt unearths some of the intrinsic enigmas which vex humanity so. Look Both Ways is essentially a mural of Watt’s mentality, and presents an in-depth reading encompassing the pitfalls of life, appealing to universal sentiments, qualms and anxieties.

Puppy love has never been so complicated. To begin, in the book Sit, Stay, Love by J.J. Howard, Cecilia Murray has been wanting a dog, but her father has never let her get a dog.

One day when she came over Eric asks Cecilia to become potato´s trainer for the dog shows and she takes that opportunity. It´s important to show the themes never give up and you should not be judgmental.

Dough and Susanna Harrison are the founders of The Scooter Store. They believe disable and senior Americans deserve the right to be happy and healthy in their homes. That way they can be connected with their family and friends. Their dream is to help people with limited conditions based in a core ideology “Always Do The Right Thing” I had never hear of this company before. This company got my attention because my mom does the same thing but in a different way. She helps the elder by providing food to them and sometimes even a better place to live. She even open a foundation recently. She is always looking for new ways to help people. She always says “Today for them. Tomorrow for us” and it is very true. We never know how life is going to take

“I’m not sure how many days are left in my life,” this particular sentence in the article captured my attention. It gave me the realization that blacks are really counting down the days of their lives without actually living it. These people that are living in fear have no idea how to handle this. They have to walk on eggshells without cracking them, because once it’s cracked that’s when their lives end. It’s hard to bear but that is the honest truth. And that is what the author was demonstrating in the article. Blacks everyday are fearful for their lives. To me that is just heartbreaking especially the death of a lot of black males. I have four black brothers and I don’t want them to be fearful of their lives, but how could they not with all the killings that has been going on for years now.

Throughout the article “This Is What I Do,” the author Professor David Chioni Moore explains and evaluates the state of jazz and jazz criticism. Moore argues that although jazz experts use recordings to analyze so-called “works of art,” these recordings are not true representations of the artistic value of jazz music. He then explains that the only way to fully experience jazz in its most artistic form is through live performances. To support his argument, Moore first discloses that most jazz musicians did not give their best performances on recordings After stating this, Moore analyzes the impact copyright has on this phenomenon. Due to copyright laws, musicians did not receive money for the records that they sold, making them less inclined

In my collage I chose to use pictures and words that are the literal visual representations of

As described by Touhy, Brown & Smith (2005), human beings need physical, psychosocial and Spiritual comfort to make connections with others and validate their lives. Individuals live a life time forming relationships, setting goals, trying to reach these goals and ultimately searching for the infamous meaning of life. In the end, it seems that all that really matters are the people you love most. What do we do when our life is about to come to an end and there are many things left unsaid? How do we mend our broken relationships before we die? Why is this important for us to do before it is too late?

What many doctors I work with don’t realize is that it is usually the small things that matter the most to patients. We tend to overlook them because they are small and therefore we feel that must mean they are insignificant. But the truth is that many of the things that win customers over and result in massive referrals to your office are simple. That isn’t to say that they are easy; far too many businesses fail to consistently perform them. Yet they are things that are incredibly simple.

I related the song “Nothing really matters now” by Mr. Probz to Mark Fossie’s relationship with Mary Anne Bell because Mark was always thinking of how their wedding is going to be after the war is over, but Mary Anne Bell didn’t seem to care for the wedding anymore, instead she became part of Vietnam and turned into a dangerous person who is ready for the kill. “When she's O.K. Then I'm alright. When she's awake. I'm up all night. Nothing really matters”(Lyrics from Nothing really matters now by Mr. Probz) The lyrics gives me an image of Mark and Mary being together and that no matter what Mary does, Mark would be doing or feeling similar, in what she is doing or feels. For instance, Mary seems to not care about the wedding anymore and it seems
