Personality: reserved, sarcastic, self-conscious, calm, hateful, Elliot is half Mexican (mom) and half American (dad) Elliot is a normal guy. He was fat as a kid and teenager which made him self-conscious. When he lost weight and got fit he started to party a lot (too much) because the stupid people started to like him more because he became handsome. He dropped out of collage to chase his dreams in becoming a DJ. But he soon realized that’s not him and he stopped caring about the stupid people that only liked him for his looks. He decided to change his life, he moved back to his home town. He then reunited with his old best friend from high school; Jason. A few people were searching for a new roommate and Elliott took the place. When he moved in it turned out that one of his new roommates is Jason. HE IS LIKE DIEGO He doesn’t really know what to do in his life, he haven’t finished any university so he has no degree.

...argue that the sexual-aesthetic excesses found in these representations complicate dichotomies of "good" versus "bad" girls and also express non-normative politics that trouble the disciplining of behavior and dress for girls of color. Like Asian/American women, Latinas are subject to hypersexualization in visual media from popular discourses surrounding Jennifer Lopez's ass to more dated representations of voluptuous dancers balancing fruit on their heads (Barrera 2002; Mendible 2007). Through engaging chonga images, I demonstrate the need for a reevaluation of hypersexual representations in order to trouble academic work that aims to "empower" girls of color by disassociating them from harmful stereotypes to the point that their sexual agency becomes effaced and viewed as primarily dictated by males and mainstream culture. My conceptualization of agency here draws from anthropologist Laura Ahearn's (2001) definition of it as the "socioculturally mediated capacity to act" (112). Sexuality cannot be divorced from social context, yet it must be recognized that girls play various roles in framing the meanings associated with their sexual identities and practices. Ciara was the "spunky" twin ("'cuz I'm always causing trouble"); Diona was the "sparkly" twin ("'cuz I'm in love with my own reflection"). Both Wicked Twiins were wearing black chokers, tight black T-shirts that said "Bad Girl," low-slung skirts (one chartreuse, one hot pink), and lace-up, high-heeled boots; one had bare...

...We get it, the movies were bad compared to the books, but making fun of it is so overdone now. Frankly, it distracted me from the rest of the book. Sure I have seen it done before, Vampire Academy made fun of Twilight in the movie and Vampire Diaries did as well during its first season on television - but this book had nothing to do with vampires, just regular teenagers. And I know, freedom of speech and all that jazz, but bashing another author's work - even just the movies based off of their work - makes me want to put the book down and stop reading. Writing is a hard industry, some people make it and some don't, but don't try to boost yourself up by tearing down another author's...

...Road to Hell An academic essay Today we bear the burden of older generations’ ecological mistakes. The industrialisation brought many machines and factories and since then, technology has progressed enormously both for the good – and bad. The spoiling of the nature does not stop there, however, because we continue in their footsteps, not caring whether or not our grandchildren will ever know a green forest or a sparkly river. “It is not my problem,” some people say, and maybe that is true. But that will change if we do not do something. Many organisations – like Green Peace – work towards living on a better planet and treating the world with care. One might walk outside today and think: ”This looks nice, I do not see a problem with nature as it is”, but that is only true to an extent. Many of the major changes, which happen in nature, are not visible in the western world. For instance, the polar ice caps are melting, which some day may cause the sea levels to rise and flood coastal cities. That is not something we can see when we look out the window, and that makes it hard to relate to. Many rainforests are cut down to grow fields, use the wood for paper and such and to build cities and factories (resulting in extinction of many animal and plant species) but it is not something we see with our own eyes, so it might as well not happen in the first place. Furthermore, flushing soap, chemicals, etc. down the drain, damages the ecosystem because clean water is spoiled –...

... can be extremely sensitive sometimes. When she shows that sensitive side of her, she can be really funny. One time she got injured on her leg it kept bleeding and she , and she had to baby it. We got two chairs, one to sit on and one to put her injured leg on. She was crying and her mom was just standing there laughing. Maddy was yelling “Mom why do you hate me, you don’t love me.” So that right there shows you how sensitive she is. Considering the only reason why her mom started laughing was out of nervousness. Everytime we walk down a specific hill it reminds of when she got hurt. It is actually really funny to me, but she did get injured, not that bad though. So one day I was at her house and we decided to bake cookies, it was kind of late but she had family over. The cookies we were baking...

...English Project By Simba Gurure Narrative The Amazing Goats In the land of Bahh, there was a smart goat, named Tom. Tom was different from the other goats in Bahh. Most of the other goats didn’t like to discover, invent, or build, while he did. One day there was a science-show in Bahh. Tom was so excited, that he called his brother, Mot, to compete with him. Tom was thinking, so he could find an idea for the show. Finally, Tom came up with the idea to build a teleporter. It took him 5 days to build it. Tom tested it out with a toy car. He first pressed a button that said go. Then out of nowhere, the teleporter began to rattle and shake and the car disappeared. To did not know where the car went, so there was only one way to find out. Tom called Mot to go in the teleporter with him to discover where it takes them. Mot came to go in the teleporter. When they pressed the go button, they screamed and found themselves in a very dark place. There where no people or animals it was just silent. Tom and Mot were scared, but they still had the courage to explore. They walked for about seven miles and they found a city called The Negative Zone. In the Negative Zone there were robots. Tom and Mot were so scared that they ran. When they ran the robots chased them and caught them. They put them and caught them. They put them in jail for no reason. Tom and Mot had to figure out a plan to get out of jail. They thought the robots liked the music so much they let Tom and Mot go....

The importance of language is essential to every aspect and interaction. It propels everyday life and keeps us in touch with one another. Through many historical instances, we have developed further insight into increasing our ability in the way of language by telegrams, post, telephone, e-mail, instant messaging and text messaging. People talk in some form everyday whether it be calling a friend to check on them or catching up on different online forums. Language is used to inform the people around us of our different feelings, desires and questions. Through the years, people have been making a list of new vocabulary on the board. Demands on our time have become bigger because of this rise in talking and so we shorten words and sentences. People have become inconvenienced by how much explaining there is and so “slang” is born. These are alternative words or phrases that express either something new or...

...Life-Work Imbalance/ Flexible Work Schedules Barbara Hagan DeVry University Life-Work Imbalance/ Flexible Work Schedules Jessica a married woman with two small children starts her day off with a crying baby and winey demands from a three year old. She continues on with fulfilling their needs as she tries to get dressed for work and maybe spend a few minutes with her husband before he’s out the door and she’s left to get the boys ready for daycare. Everyone’s loaded and ready to go but Jessica forgot she needs to stop and get gas. Now running late she drops the kids off and is finally on her way to a long day in the office. Arriving only a few minutes late has her left with a bit of confidence but that suddenly fades as she catches sight of all the paperwork on her desk. The note on top reads “Must be done TODAY!” Jessica suddenly feels her heart sink and she sits in frustration. There’s no way this can all be done before the daycare closes at six and her husband works in the next town. He wouldn’t be able to pick up the boys either. She has already asked her boss for far too many favors and missed some days when the baby was sick. Her company doesn’t have any flexibility. If she doesn’t fulfill this task her job could be at stake (Hendrickson, 2014). Stories like Jessica’s are all too common and a flexible work schedule just might be the answer to these problems. If Jessica was able to complete work at home or on schedule a bit more flexible then she wouldn’t have to...

...*Intro* From the dawn of time, (:P) human beings have had a vast range of beliefs. They have advanced from thinking that storms are the sign of the sea God, Poseidon’s wrath to explaining it in scientific terms involving the winds and the positions of the moon. However, is everything science tells us really true? What if the Gods exist to this very day, and roam about in the guise of normal humans? What would occur, if they assembled in one single place? With their egos, different opinions and self-importance, what would happen if we added a little competition to the mix? Chaos. So here’s a little play about our all- time favorite Greek Gods, in which they all decide to take some time off their usual jobs and try something different. Scene-recruitment room. There’s a table in one corner and some chairs arranged in another. There’s a person at the table, writing something. There’s another shabbily dressed person sitting on a chair and reading something. A pretty receptionist enters the room carrying a cup of coffee which she places on the table. The man looks up, gives her a curt nod and then goes back to what he was doing. The receptionist spots the shabbily dressed guy and walks up to him. Receptionist: You here for the interview? Man looks up at her, nods and then looks back down. She peeks into the manuscript he’s reading and squeals. Receptionist: Oh my god! The Greek Gods! I absolutely LOVE them!! *looks at the title* How can you even call them crazy? Your book...

...and discuss how they are displayed throughout the three seasons of United States of Tara. United States of Tara was a three series television show broadcasted on ShowTime from 2009 to 2011. It displays the life of a woman named Tara and how her DID not only affects her life, but her husband’s, children’s, and sister’s lives. Tara has three main alters; Buck, T, and Alice. Buck is interesting in that he is a man in a woman’s body. He is the epitome of bad masculinity, but he is also Tara’s protector. When Tara feels taken advantage of or hurt, she transitions into Buck to deal with the pain. T is a sixteen-year-old rebel child whose promiscuity and outrageousness allow Tara to connect with her teenage daughter and have fun, even if it is not clean fun, such as drinking, smoking, and using Tara’s credit card. Alice is an old-time fifties housewife whose passions in life are to cook, clean, mother children, and please her husband. Alice appears when Tara feels overwhelmed by the struggles of parenthood and feels like she is not a good enough wife or mother. All through the series,...

A great many people who live with canines perceive a percentage of the "greater" pieces of information that a canine's on edge, 1. Uncomfortable, or out and out frightened -groveling, 2. whimpering, and a tucked tail, to name only three.more unobtrusive signs. They for the most part don't reflect all out frenzy, however they let you know that all's not exactly right 3. On the off chance that we can interpret our pooches' 4. Leashing the skin behind while walking non-verbal communication, we can ransom delicate puppies before they get overpowered. Furthermore even boneheaded, giddy sorts may discover a few circumstances excessively for them. Come to consider it, viewing them nearly may uncover that they're not such blockheads truth be told. When we perceive our canines' anxiety flags and make a move to bail them out, we're taking consideration both of the puppy and of ourselves. I regularly recollect a maturing puppy named Jack whose people recognized that he generally withdrew from their little child's methodology. They don't thought anything of it, so Jack's rehashed nonaggressive flags that he despised kiddy-style taking care of didn't traverse. b) Name and describe three (3) ways an animal may show you that they are comfortable.
