...Chauncey quotes, “The dramatic mobilization of lesbians and gay men in the 1970’s set the stage for the earliest legislative victories, but they also depended on the continuing strength of a broader public commitment to civil rights. In 1972, East Lansing, Michigan, home to Michigan State University, became the first municipality to pass a gay rights ordinance” (38). Reading this article, we learn a valuable lesson from LGBQT society-LGBQT community has been out casted and criminalized, but their trying to change the system around. His reading gave us a lesson how we need to create a liberal community where LGBQT rights need to be supported and to not be afraid of who they are. This story provides us a lesson of how we need movements for justice; of moments of triumph that people we now understand as LGBQT have challenged. Chauncey quotes, “The results of half a century of struggle were everywhere evident. In the 1990’s, there were annual gay pride marches in more than 100 cities. There were influential gay caucuses in the major unions and strong movements seeking reform in the Catholic Church and every mainline” (56-57). There has been early victories and dramatic...

...In Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Strange Case Of Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, his characters relate to Freud's psyche. Freud made these things that connect your personality, they are the Id, Ego, and Superego. Id does whatever it wants at that time without thinking about the consequences. Ego means the part of the personality that maintains the balance between the id and superego. The superego dictates our belief of what's right or wrong and is represented by an angle on your shoulder. The characters in this book represent Freud’s psychoanalysis by the way that they act and look in this novel in many different ways. The character that relates to the id's Mr.Hyde he represents this because he is extremely evil. Mr.Hyde absolutely...

...Also, they would argue that teenagers are not responsible enough to be drinking at such a young age. The otherside; however, would say it should be changed because it would decrease the amount of teenagers drinking as a whole. They would also argue that it will help teenagers think less about partying and focus more on their school work. The drinking age should not be lowered to drink alcohol. The first problem that could occur by lowering the drinking age is people will start drinking at an even younger age. Now people in high school have partied and drank getting ready for the big twenty one, well what could be next, children in grade school? Teenagers are not able to make such decisions when they are under the influence of alcohol. When drinking you lose train of thought and some people do not remember the next morning. Therefore, Morleo explains “These individuals are at risk of a range of harms including violence and regretted/unprotected sex” (Morleo 1). This quote states that drinking alcohol at such a young age or even at all can make regrets and see things most young teens are not suppose to experience. Drinking alcohol is different for everyone; some people get mean while others get happy and nice. Even alcoholism could run in the family and next thing at a young age you can become immune and think you need alcohol, later resulting in going to rehab. Lowering the drinking age can increase the amount of deaths in teenagers, especially in college. High school kids look...

...With this quote, Amir reveals his character development, his acceptance of everything that has happened and his freedom after twenty-six years of guilt, as he embraces one of Hosseini’s main messages in The Kite Runner. For most of his life, Amir was incredibly guilty about what happened to Hassan, and before that, he was jealous of Hassan’s attention from Baba. Now, finally, Amir can just remember his amazing, loyal friend, and all the good times they had together. He reveals this when he says Hassan’s old saying, “for you, a thousand times over.” Those words used to bring Amir to tears, but now that he has accepted everything-- Hassan’s rape, Baba’s sins, Hassan’s death, and what happened to Sohrab-- Amir can use them to remember his dear...

...This quote shows she was excited and proud of the items she was showing Cameron and thought she was being cool and funny how she was showing them off. In addition, Ruth takes Cameron on crazy adventures. Ruth likes to have fun and take Cameron to the mall shopping or out to eat or even drive around town. Someone may think Ruth would be a fun person to hang around and she would always keep you in a good mood. Thirdly, Ruth can always put a smile on your face. Cameron had just lost her parents at a young age and Ruth has always been there to try to cheer Cameron up and let her know that she is always there for her even if she is not Cameron’s parents. One may think Ruth is a gentle and kind person to talk to and she can listen and will always be a person who will listen. On the other hand, Ruth can be characterized as Protective for a numerous amount of reasons. The first reason is Cameron knows Ruth cares about her and would not “okay” certain ideas.

...than a one word answer. What I stride to do and become in my life cannot be given to me it must be earned. I want to be as successful as possible and be able to live comfortably. At the same time I must be able to support my family and that is a must. The reasons I can’t do this right now is simply because of the society that I live in, and I can relate this to the way the beats lived. Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds is the first example I think of when it comes to the reasons why I can’t attain some my goals and dreams in life. In the poem it says, “And the people in the houses All went to the university, Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same, and there's doctors and lawyers, and business executives, and they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.” This part of the poem stuck out to me the most because it’s explaining why today’s society is stuck being the same. We are taught that we must go to school to be doctors or lawyers in order to be rich and successful. They want us to follow a certain religion, and have a certain house because it’s what society views as normal and that if we do these things in this way then everything will be okay. This message is imprinted in our minds at a young age, telling us that this is the path we should take in order to be happy and successful, but if you don’t follow it, it’s as if you are looked down upon. One way to succeed in getting to my goals would be to become a rebel like...

...and publish their opinions – about matters of the general interest.’ 2. Quote number 2 comes from week 7 of our course, and was written by Jurgen Habermas. The quote can be found on page 49 of his reading entitled “The Public Sphere: An Encyclopedia Article (1964). In this reading Habermas talks on the topic of the public sphere and its importance. The public sphere allows individuals to freely communicate their thoughts and opinions. In the quote given, Habermas refers to the phrase "Unrestricted fashion" (Habermas 1974:49). I believe he is referring to how individuals...

...which rules you want to live by, and it's persistent and aggravated imbecility to pretend you can live without any,” (Wallace Stegner, All the Little Things). This quote provides an excellent example of how the characters in the book The Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, act after escaping to a remote island after a brutal plane crash. Many of the “littluns”, although they are irresponsible, cannot conclude that order needs to exist on the island. Throughout this book, readers can tell that the hardest thing to enforce on this island are rules. What more can one expect from “littluns”? The group, at first, is led by one of the oldest kids on the island, Ralph, who is immediately challenged by Jack, the prestige choir kid who should be chief because “[He’s] chapter chorister and head boy. [He] can sing C sharp." (1.228-30). Before the...

...Joshua Zeitz is a historian explaining the significance of the 1920s and how it changed the cultural roles of women. The 1920s was also known as the Jazz age and Zeitz explore two characters being F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Fitzgerald in his book Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity and the Women who made America Modern. Zeitz specifically argues the flapper was not a sudden change in culture but was a product of American Entertainment and new values of the 1920s. To begin with, Zeitz mentions how mass media played a major role in creating the idea of the flapper by emphasizing women’s new freedoms to drink, smoke, date, etc. “Flamming Youth left a lot to be desired. Colleen played the role of Pat Fentriss, the teenage daughter...

...if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.” ― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower Meaning is a concept; it is the qualities, the purpose, or significance of something. Whether my impact on the world is significant or not it doesn’t change that every little rain drop adds water to our encroaching possibilities of life.

...------------------------------ Sweet sixteen One summer afternoon, about out the door for family dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Went to check on my bestie Jenie, staying with me for the summer, kicked out of her own house again, one more time. I had a feeling. Are you sure you don't want to come with us? I said, peeking into the top bunk of my little brothers bed. No response. Motionless, unconscious. I ran to my auntie, doctor frances, downstairs. "She'll be okay," said doctor frances. We called the ambulance anyway. "She'll be okay, "said doctor frances, again, after they wheeled Jenie away on a stretcher. Jenie went to icu, had her stomach pumped, went to rehab after that. We pretty much pretended nothing had happened. Time passed. Lots of things happened. One winter afternoon, the ripe age of 22, my mom dropped me off at a portland clinic, 10th floor of an office building. "babies are expensive," my single-father boyfriend had said. i took his word for it, and took the valium and the vicodin from the nurse, listened to them read me quotes from other girls in my condition about how happy they were with their choice. I lied back on the table, sucked in the nitrous...

...Okay let's just start with ignorance. There are endless examples of ignorance at work. I could single out every type in the book. But I'll simply focus on two. For one, there's racial ignorance. I know you've heard it a million times before. The line "A man should be judged not by the color of his skin but by the actions of his heart." Never seems to get old. But in all fairness, that quote holds a great truth. Think about it. There's always that racist uncle that makes everybody uncomfortable when he gets on the subject of 'those damn niggers'. Even that sentence causes uncomfortability. Am I right? So, if there's a guilty feeling every time someone let's out a racist comment... don't you think that should tell you something? Think real hard and if you can't think of what that could be I'll let you know: Racism is wrong. Flat out. You know, I've met black people who don't do drugs, and Mexicans who actually work for a decent salary. Is that shocking? If so, you probably have racial stereotyping to blame. That's just one kind of ignorance that, quite frankly, we've all heard about a million times over. So, I'll drop the sermon and move on. Who's heard of religious ignorance? (Hands go up all around.) This is just one thing we all need to do our homework on. Okay. Because people always tend to jump to conclusions about every religion out there. I'm sure you think all Buddhists are bald Asians right? (Buzzer rings.) Wrong! I know a half Caucasian, half Mexican Buddhist. Not...
