What should schools allow?

Pam Meo Turner who is a teacher at W. C Handy Head Start in Florence, Alabama. Pam is worried about the congress not acting soon enough about the issues their facing. Pam is worried that if congress don't act early about the situation, then the school would be shut down. W.C Handy Head Start believe that every student is important and they believe in helping students become successful. If the school shuts down for good, Pam worries about the students who's learning how to write there name and worried about students that's learning how to tie their shoe. If the school shuts down then students wont receive the necessary an proper help they need from outside resources.

 

I agree with Pam and the petition she established. I support this petition because I believe that our children is what holds the future. If you don't help them now to become someone in life who will. I believe that by the congress not addressing this issues would bring upon more issues. This is because by shutting the school down will cause problems with the school district and with parents of the student because their not getting the necessary help they should be getting from outside resources such as teacher and counselors.

Feminist

The Nutty Professor

In the movie the Nutty Professor, there is a woman name Carla who Sherman Clump loved dearly and would do anything for.When Carla showed up in the movie, it made Clump to change his physical appearance. He loved her dearly, so he decided to lose weight so that she could date him.

 

 

Ever since she came into his life, he's changed and wanted to better his life and his health.

Now regarding feminism, Carla don’t play a huge role in the movie. When you look over the movie, you realize she's the only woman in the movie and when she do show up, her script isn't very long or intense.

Carla play the girl who is there to hopefully date Clump. Throughout the movie, you only see Carla when she's with Clump for with his family. The outcome of this is that women aren't important in society or in movie.

 

After all, Carla shows no growth in the movie. On the other hand, the growth that is shown in the movie is how Clump changed his physical appearance because of the way her felt for Carla.

 

 

Maturity

In the story "Midway" there were two brother's name Junior and Luis who were basically left in the world alone to provide for one another.

Maturity is the key.

The top right picture explains how their father left his family when the two of them were young. There father didn't give his wife and children a in depth reason on why he was leaving. Since the father left his family, this left his wife to raise their children alone.

In the middle right picture, it elaborates how later, as the two of began to age, their mother kicked them out of her house. By the mother kicking her two son's out of her house left the oldest bother Luis to take care of his little brother Junior and to pay bills.

The outcome of the father leaving his family at early on in life led Luis to mature at a young age because he was left to take care of his little brother who is known for stealing other objects.

Compare and Constrast

The Butler

In the movie The Butler, their is a man name Ceicle who works in the White House as a butler. Ceicle is deeply in love with his wife and his children. Also, he loves his job because he gets to help the president and work for the president. While working in the White House, Ceicle and his family faces several situations because of where his family live down south because of their race. The two movies can relate in several ways. For example, both relationship are African-American with a family. Also, both couples live in the south. While living in the south, both couples go through situations based on their race and the color of their skin.

The two movies are also different because one of the relationships are abusive. Throughout the movie The Color Purple, Mister is abusive to Celie. For example, if Mister would come home and dinner was not on the table, he would hit Celie. On the other hand, in the movie The Butler, Cicle and his wife love each other dearly. For instance, they would cook, clean, and even watch movie together. Also, in the movie, Ceicle took his wife to he White House for a date.

Relationships Complications

There are three songs that stands out to me that I know several people listen to when their sad and depress because their either going a relationship problem or a break up. The three songs are by three beautiful young ladies who have been through a lot in their life. These three songs were written when they were going through similar situations.



American Idol Finalist Season 4

The American Idol finalist, Fantasia Barrino wrote a song name “Truth Is” in 2004 based on still being in love with your ex-boyfriend. This particular song elaborates on the way Barrino feels deep down about the break up with her boyfriend.
Listening to the song, Barrino states, “Truth Is I never got over you,” this line in the song explains that even though Barrino is no longer in a relationship with her boyfriend, deep down, she’s not over him. This means she still has feeling for him and will love him always and forever. “Truth Is” is a song I listen to when I want to stop being friends or stop talking to a close family member but yet it’s still that inch of love that will never fade leaving my spirit open for them to come back into my life because I’m not completely over the situation.

Beyonce Knowles, one of the top selling cd labels wrote a song in 2009 based on placing herself in the shoes of a man. Throughout the song, Knowles expounds on the way men treat woman in a relationship. For instance, in the song, Knowles mentions, “Cus I know how it hurts, when you lose the one you wanted cause he’s taken you for granted and everything you have got destroyed.” In this line of the song, Knowles is basically saying, you lose the one you love because he has taken everything you have done for him for granted. I listen to this song when I'm going through relationship problems even with family or a close friend because it seems like no matter how much I do for them, either a close friend or my family, they always tend to throw it back in your face as something negative.

Keyshia Cole wrote a song called “I Remember” in 2009 based on finding and reminiscing love. Cole states in her song, “Where were you when I said I loved you and where were you when I cried at night waking up couldn’t sleep without you, thinking of all the time we shared.”
Cole is clearly asking he boyfriend question such as, where was he when she was going through a rough time in life. This specific song I listen to when It feels like everyone in my life has disappeared when I need them the most.

 
 
After understanding what each of these three songs meant, their all about relationships. Also, these three songs illiterates the problems people face in different relationships in life.

Technology Take Over

In the video "Connected, but Alone?" by Sherry Turkel, she discusses the issues technology has brought upon people. In the video Sherry explains how technology has changed people and their everyday lives. For example, Turkel told us that her daughter and herself sleep with their phone every night. Also, Turkel mentions how people tend to lean on social network because it seem like no one is listening to them, which leads to isolation and becoming addicted to social media. The reason why people become addicted to technology is because we believe that's the way to get connected to the world and our friendship.

I strongly agree with what Turkel explained in the video about how technology has taken a toll on people's lives. In the video, Turkelmentions how its now hard to hold a full conversation without someone either looking down at their phone to see if they had a missed call or an unread message. I know for a fact I tend to do that because I feel empty if I don't look at my phone or if I don't touch my phone. Another key point that stood out to me was how families are now cutting into their family time by being on their phone. For example, I know that my family time has changed completely because when my family and I would go out to a restaurant or to the movies, everyone would either be texting, using the social media, or playing games. I can honestly say my life has changed completely since technology has became more popular because I'm addicted to texting and social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram because I hate being bored and being alone. After realizing how much technology has changed my everyday life and others, I don't know what I'll do without technology.

Textual Analysis

In this video "Truth Is", Fantasia Barrino is singing about her old boyfriend who she had dated for years. The two of them have recently broken-up the relationship the had with one another. In the song, she explains how she regrets the break-up with her old boyfriend and how she would do anything to get him and their relationship back on track.

In the video, Fantasia looks young, depressed, and sad about the break- up. As you may have noticed in the video, most of the time Fantasia did a lot of sitting around and staring into space because of the break-up with her old boyfriend. Teens now in the world don't know really how to handle stress, so they just sit around and do nothing with themselves and life. When watching the video, you may have noticed the love Fantasia still have for her old boyfriend and how much she valued their relationship as a whole even though he has moved on.

By the end of the video, the point has been made by showing the emotions that the two of them felt about their relationship. Also it made its point by expressing the love and gilt that the two of them have brought upon themselves. As the video became closer to ending, the two of them realized that truth is they still love each other and still have some growing to do before they get back together.
