THERE are some books that define a decade. In the 1870s‚ one such book was The Gilded Age‚ published by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner. It is not a flattering portrait of American society (gilded means coated with cheap gold paint)‚ but it was a truthful one. During the so-called Gilded Age‚ our country silently fell into ruin. And there was no one to blame but ourselves. “Get rich; dishonestly is we can. honestly if we must.” was a remark made by Mark Twain. To him‚ it seemed as if our country

After reading the poem Love for $17.50 by Charles Bukowski‚ my mind is in a conundrum. When reading this poem things that come to mind are how funny‚ sad‚ disgusting and how real all of it is.

I chose the song “Mo Money‚ Mo Problems” by The Notorious B.I.G‚ strictly focusing on the chorus. The chorus says‚ “I don’t know what they want from me‚ it’s like the more money we come across‚ the more problems we see.” The first reason I chose this song is because my students have a deep love for Biggie. I even have one student‚ who never seems to connect to the lessons for the most part‚ that I wanted to really get into this unit. I knew I would get him by playing this song because he even
