on New Year’s Eve,” but that it was “not age appropriate” (as cited in Sammons, 2011). Girls are being bombarded from the media, fashion world, peers, as well as pop culture icons as to what is hip and fashion trendy, but the issue is often these hip and trendy fashions are doing more harm than good.

about the girls. He used the words chunky and chubby several times, such as “There was this chunky one with the two-piece…” (Updike 201). His repeated use of chubby, chunky, and fat was a turn off for me. It was interesting because the girl he liked he did not describe as fat so he must be looking for girls who are fit.

They make him look like the little boys in the story books. His hair does not make him a girl. He looks too much like you. Raven: Don Endong’s mouth twitched at one corner. James: All right mujer, but not the doll! Raven: The boy was getting the doll ready for bed. The doll was a long, slender, rag bodied with a glossy head of porcelain

My Discussion: The language Sammy used to describe the young ladies certainly, made me reflect him as a typical teenager in today’s era. Sammy was doing everything in his will to capture the eye of the girls. As they approached each aisle he eyeballed their every move. Sammy seemed a little stunned by the girl’s arrival, to the store in their swimsuits. Sammy's slang justified him as a typical teen of the 50's. You could tell Sammy was a young man trying to find his way into society. Sammy was trying

adventure at Camp Crescendo, a summer camp for fourth graders near the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. I announced that by the second day of camp, all the girls in my Brownie troop had decided they were going to "kick the asses" of every girl in Brownie Troop 909, who were all white girls. The other black girls and myself took a dislike to the white girls when we first saw them. Arnetta, our ringleader, said they smelled "like Chihuahuas. Wet Chihuahuas." When she said that they were like "Caucasian Chihuahuas

harassment? I believe that this is sexual harassment. I think this was sexual harassment because the boys were putting their hands on the girls, which is not allowed especially when the boys were pulling on the girl’s bra straps.

female would want in her man. Throw in a crooked smile and a warm body to cuddle up with, and a girl would be set and stone with this guy. But, wait she’s dreaming she could never get a guy like that unless he’s looking for the same thing, right? What does a guy look for in a girl anyway?
