The Brat

The Skin I’m In is a great book for people that have a low self-esteem. I chose to read this book because the title made me curious. I honestly thought this book was lame until began to see that the main character and I had a lot in common. The genre of the book is realistic fiction because this can happen in real life. Taking any from this book, I learned to love the way I look no matter what skin color I am. It all starts with Maleeka Madison. A thirteen-year old smart, intelligent, tall,…

It is clear from the beginning of the play that Kate’s attitude is frowned upon by the standards enforced by men onto society. It is a feminist’s role to argue the advocacy of equal rights for both males and females. From a feminist’s perspective The Taming of the Shrew is lacking in the concept of gender equality especially as Kate’s opportunities are decided from her by men from the beginning of the play. Although, it may be argued that Kate’s shrewish attitude is influenced as a response to…

Wouldn’t you like to save money, avoid humiliation, already be prepared for a job, and have pride in something? If you were to think about it, these are actually a few of the ingredients needed for a happy and successful life; so why not prepare our children for such a life? I remember when I was young, around the age of 16, year 2004, a freshman in high school, Miami-Dade County Public Schools District enforced an official mandatory dress code policy stating that every school which falls under…

“Well you should try Steak Mash! It’s easy to make too! First, you mix,” started Steak, with a look that a person may have if describing the love of their life, but was cut off by an upset sounding black haired boy. “Why are you sitting here?” snapped the boy, narrowing his eyes, “This is my place.” “Oops, sorry Eric,” huffed Steak, “I was just telling one of my favorite recipes to Lil’ White Stripe here.” “Go away! I’m hungry and I want to sit where I usually sit every day!” hissed the boy…

A trend that is developing in the media industry is using women in their work frame. Music video, television, magazines and many others are portraying women in a sexual ways as if they were sexual…

A major life lesson that I have learned is how to be careful of the things I say. I am sure that in one way or another, many people have heard a story about watching their words. For me, this was expressed through a dollar bill. When I was in fifth grade, our class had a counselor from a nearby middle school come over and share a few words with us. I will confess, at the time I wore the brand of a “gifted child” and as such, I was almost always bored in the classroom. So, while my classmates and…

introduced. Gatsby was a poor farm boy, that had bizarre dream of leaving his home and becoming rich, into a successful man who made that dream come true.

Both of these are the complete opposite of how Nick would have seen these people, by knowing only their upbringings, at the beginning of the novel. By the end, he realizes the rich can be indecent, and…

work a child has, probably a lot. What if in every work the child gets an A, then parents will have to pay many times. The numerous amount of time the parents have to pay will puff the child with self-importance and turning the child into a spoiled brat. Third reason is that no one knows what a child will spend the money on. One may say that there is no harm in giving children money, but that is never the case. There are many possibilities on what a child may spend it on, for example, obscene…

Six years ago, my family and I decided to take a trip to India so we could visit relatives. Anxiety filled my whole body because I never met any of these people before. We stuffed our suitcases with various clothing, products, presents, and accessories for the interminable trip ahead of us. Arriving at the airport, we set our heavy, black suitcases on the belt as it carried them away. After two hours of patience, my family and I finally boarded the large white airplane. People filled up the…
