Dirty Little Secret: Jodi Arias
Travis Alexander lived in Mesa, Arizona and was known as a smart, successful individual whom always cared and did for others. Travis was really dedicated to the Mormon Church his grandmother introduced him too as a young child. Prepaid Legal services in which the company Travis worked for had a service conference in Las Vegas in where he met this girl by the name of Jodi Ann Arias. It was known that Arias became part of the Mormon faith religion and was soon enough Alexander’s girlfriend. The relationship was not going so well that Travis maintained a friendly relationship with Jodi. Jodi began to stalk Travis by following every step of the way he would take when she found out Travis had a new girlfriend. On June 4, 2008, salesman and motivational speaker Travis Alexander was murdered in his own apartment. Travis Alexander's body was found 5 days later in the shower surrounded with blood by his friend who had become increasingly worried about his whereabouts after not being able to contact him for several days. Jodi Arias was convicted of first-degree murder after fighting her innocence and making people believe she was the victim of a controlling, abusive relationship she held with Alexander.
People have a certain perception about themselves. Embarrassment, failures, and anger are just a few of the insults people feel when they are insecure and when their self-esteem lack's confidence. “Deep down we’ve all constructed an idea of who we ‘should’ be: how we should look, act, think, feel and be regarded by others.” I think a lot of us try to meet standards and have determination in accomplishing certain goals and when these standards are not met; we look for reasons to blame ourselves why. Even though the story remains suspicious from this trial, Jodi Arias changed her way of being to get closer to her boyfriend. Travis devoted a lot time to the Mormon faith and lived a different lifestyle. Jodi joined this religion to make

Travis Alexander, a 30-year-old businessman, well-known motivational speaker and devout Mormon. With a single gunshot to the right brow and being stabbed 29 times, Travis was then left for dead in a stand up shower in his bathroom for several days. When Arias was questioned by the police she stated that she had not seen Travis since April of 2008. She then claimed she had seen two men kill him, then eventually saying that she killed him out of self-defense (Warren, 2013). According to Arias, the dysfunction of their relationship reached its climax when she killed Alexander in self-defense after he became enraged following a day of sex and a gun accident, forcing her to fight for her life.

    According to an undisclosed news source, rapper Azealia Banks claimed something that is unexpected. It's not good news, but it's really bad. She claimed that legendary and well-respected actor Russell Crowe just assaulted and choked her in his hotel room. Not only that, he even called her a "N****R", choked and threw her out. She even said that the men in his room allowed it and felt terrible on that day. She can't believe that none of those men are going to defend or tend to her after Russell choked her. However, this is some sort of a mistake that the witnesses claimed. As a result, Azealia had no other choice but to delete the post. You know why? It is because some claims said that the story isn't true. It's a different story instead of what really happened to the…

    Fantasia Barrino

    My first choice would have been a movie called Freedom Writers, however, since Brittany has already discussed it I’ll discuss another movie. The movie that is the next most powerful story I know is called “The Fantasia Barrino Story: Life Is Not a Fairy Tale.” Most of you probably have seen it before, if not you probably remember Fantasia Barrino whom was the winner of American Idol: Season 3. When Fantasia Barrino was in high school she was raped, she felt so alone after the attack and thought no one would believe her so she dropped out of school. Now Fantasia was a teenage dropout who had no money, no education and no chance at a real future. At 16, Fantasia found herself in an abusive relationship that left her pregnant and lost. But she refused to give up on her dreams. This movie tells how this inspiring young single mom used her incredible voice to become an American Idol, as well as a Grammy®-nominated, platinum-selling recording artist. This movie was very emotional because when the movie got towards the middle I was crying my eyes out. This movie has made Fantasia Barrino my idol and it had a really huge impact on me because my story is similar to hers so I can relate. The author of this movie had an effect of her audience by the way the movie was interesting from beginning to the end. Another way is because this movie is very encouraging to young women and even some men too. In my narrative next week I would like to write about never giving up on your dreams.…

    The story I went with was One More To Lake by E.B White. To me his story felt poetic. He was mesmerized by the smells of the cabin he would stay in as a child. Reason being that I chose poetic writing for E.B White is because how he carefully he chose his words for his story. “I guess I remembered clearest of all the mornings, when the lake was cool and motionless, remembered how the bedroom smelled of lumber it was made of and of the wet woods whose scent entered the screen” (White 97).…

    Disney has produced some successful and unsuccessful musical artist. From Britney Spears to Selena Gomez some Mouseketeers have proven that with a popular platform such as Disney one could and should go very far. But what happens in the transition period between the protection of Disney and the real world music industry? How does an artist “undisneyfies” themselves, how do they shed the label of a cute young Disney star? Looking in the music industry today there seems to be one logical answer for women, sexualization. This adaptation of a sexual image is not only seen visually through music videos but also heard lyrically and musically. Because of the ages that these artists emerge from under Disney’s wings one could argue that the decision to take on a more sensual image is upon the artist and while another can dispute that one’s image is a result of who writes the music.…
