1 I liked most about the story before hip-hop was hip-hop was when Rebecca walker got her clothes the Nike kicks that were red and white and her suit that was grey and red.2 (a) She got crackle energy because the music like took over her body and she went crazy dance in parties on the block at the corner (b) it helped them by letting figure out what life means to them and how much music is fun and dancing all the time. (c) it provide them time for them self’s having dance battles that all it meant for them all the time dancing and listening and watching how they were in boogie down Bronx. 3 (a)she finds today’s hip-hop way different then her hip-hop back then they had parties that where fun no drinking…
The use of Angie Thomas’ word choice, tone, and dialogue support her claim on police brutality, the ignorance of individuals, and the effects it has on Afro-Americans. Police brutality is evident and extremely critical. The book, The Hate U Give, written by Angie Thomas unashamedly projects the mistreatment of African-Americans in an explicit way. The tone she expresses shows her frustration on how the situation is being carried out through social media. She expresses how speaking out on such issue is “too touchy” or “uncomfortable” to speak about. If the nation expresses police to be fearless and the officers who are out on the force are killing innocent people, it is necessary to reevaluate who many call heroes. If one hero is afraid…
John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood, is a film that strongly illustrates violence, drugs, family life, respect, responsibility, and education. The movies opens with a statement “One out every 21 Black American males will be murdered…most will die by the hands of anther Black male.”(John Singleton) This film concentrates less on the conditions imposed on the Black community and more so on two central themes, the lack of respect and inability to take responsibility. Throughout the film people show blatant disrespect for one another. ‘Brother’ fights ‘brother’; they call their own friends niggers and the women are referred to as whores and bitches. The scene at the cookout is a prime example of disrespect towards women; it takes for Tre to point…

The number of childless adults has increased since the mid 70s due to reasons such as location, expense, women having jobs, and how society portrays parenting. The article “No Kids For Me, Thanks” by Teddy Wayne provides examples of people who agree and disagree with refusing to add to the gene pool and why. Kate Bolick, for instance, says, “If I had kids, I can’t see doing it in New York City. Not just because I couldn’t afford it, but because I don’t like the idea of raising a child in the epicenter of class disparity and extreme wealth.” The media also affects adults’ decisions about having children by creating reality shows or writing articles that depict parenting as a tiring, frustrating task.…

In addition, during my first run through of Drake’s story, I noticed that she talks about two communities that have influenced her life: divorced couples and childhood friends. When Drake was a kid, her parents split up and that changed her life immensely. There are obvious differences such as the separation of family, but then there’s Drake’s simple outlook on divorce. Her interest about this topic grew in the coming years, and the community of divorced couples seems to have carried on throughout her life and into this story. The community of friends has also played a role in her life.…
This novel takes place primarily in the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, during the period of the 1980s to the 2000s. Renee and Rob both met there in a bar named the ‘Eastern Standard’ both at the age of twenty-three. He initially planned to keep his relationship to Charlottesville strictly one of host and guest. Both he and Renee didn’t really favor Charlottesville. Then life had another plan for Rob and it was to fall in love. The setting was also a crucial part in the story because it was a music thriving environment at the time and in Charlottesville. Also, it shows that it greatly influenced the connection that Renee and Rob made with each other. The setting creates a very social atmosphere, which was something Rob wasn’t accustomed to until he began connecting with Renee. Three years after Renee died Sheffield is thinking of leaving Charlottesville when he states that, “Charlottesville was always going to be her place. I wanted it to stay that way.” Ergo, this excerpt shows that the setting is a key component to the memory of Renee. Soon after he moves to New York, he returned to Charlottesville to visit friends and he develops new friends. The entire aura of the book is based upon the setting. From the close bond that both “Robin Renee” shared during their closest times together in Charlottesville to their long distance that is represented symbolically with him living now in Brooklyn and Charlottesville and through all of the travels that they shared together as a couple . It also shows that even though he tries to move on after Renee he just can’t stop but want to return to the past (Charlottesville) and wish that Renee was still a part of his life.…

Going back to the party, it was indeed an all out fun for the entire Kardashian-Jenner family. However, not all of them are present in this occasion. Chyna also threw a similar party like this, and only the 60-year old Kris was the only Kardashian-Jenner who attended that birthday event. The party was held at a multi-million dollar mansion in Los Angeles, where she post some pictures and videos via Snapchat app. She even asked the baby boy if he was scared of riding the Ferris wheel with his dad. This isn't just a simple birthday celebration for the 4-year old King Cairo, but it was something extraordinary and mind-blowing for…
The pop/rap style non diegetic music along with the style of clothing the people are wearing e.g. baggy jeans, gold jewellery fit the typical image of a ‘gangster’. The use of notbale rap artists such as Missy Elliot Run DMC also support that view. The advert also depicts many people dancing to represent young people as always being attracted to a party and fun.…
The drumbeats resounded with cramming break beats, crazier scratchings, and the biggest controversy of all — content totally shifted. The lyrics morphed into nasty, violent, and scandalous words; moms and dads listen with contempt and swear not to let their kids get an ear for that kind of music, or noise, as they will probably call it. On the other hand, youngsters found rap appealing and they love jamming to it madly.…
In this generation people tend to believe that Hip Hop is a negative thing. That rappers only talk about the amount of money they make, how many girls they get, and the fame that they have. Why is it that Hip Hop is the genre of music with the bad reputation? I assume that it is the way that people see one another. Gold chains, baggy pants, and tattoos are what society adjudicates you by. However, the music that you listen to or the way that dress doesn’t make you a bad person. Does the way you dress represent who you really are? Why judge a book by it’s cover if you have never opened it? We should not blame Hip Hop for the way society is, it all depends on ourselves, we should not blame art.…
Kids have conversations with themselves when they take part in creative play. Pretending implies making a story and giving a voice to the distinctive characters in the story. At the point when children emulate others, they are building up a vocabulary that permits them to name and explore their general surroundings. Less verbal children may talk more amid inventive play than in different settings.…
