In layman’s terms‚ a good life is based on the ideas belonging to that person how they themselves feel about it. I believe that my morality and ethics follow and

While reading “My First Conk”‚ written by Malcolm X‚ many thoughts came to mind. It is truly astonishing how a human being will withhold an immense amount of pain just to create a new personal appearance. In this case‚ pain really is beauty! Malcolm wished for a different look to represent him in a positive way. The hairstyle known as a “conk” was very popular on white males‚ however they were predominantly worn on upper class African American men‚ specifically entertainers. The conk would represent

From all the various themes the book My Promised Land by Ari Shavit introduced in just the first sections‚ it invoked my memory of past lectures‚ personal experiences‚ and thoughts on the matters surrounding the State of Israel and its inception.

Roethke uses great word choice too. It is imperative
