The first memory I chose was from chapter two, on page 29. In this section, Frank and his friend find a dead mule and discuss the “forces” of the forest. Frank talks about these forces being ever elusive and impossible to pin point; he also compares them to a sort of “air” over the forest. So far in my life, I can’t say that I’ve spent a lot of time in the woods. But, even though I’ve only spent a short time in the forest, I can understand where he’s coming from.

Annelies Marie Frank, author of The Diary of a Young Girl, focuses mainly on the idea of loneliness of adolescence.

It also can be the case that the Puritan faith may have not always

Hip-hop began in the 1970s in the south Bronx of New York and served a cathartic purpose for the black community. People could explore issues such as the eradication of racism and equality, but since Hip-hop was created, the cathartic use has been abused through the increased use of misogynistic lyrics and music videos. Artists like Ludacris, 50 Cent and Eminem portray women nothing more than “ho’s”, “bitches” and “freaks”. Nothing more than sex objects; and yet, their biggest fan base is adolescents
