The Greeks seemed to believe that entertainment was meant to provide a person with an outlet to relieve stress. Such an assumption would lead one to believe that the form and content of entertainment is a matter of personal choice. However, entertainment has the underlying current of influencing what is normal and acceptable in society. Furthermore, culture is affected to the point of unsavory entertainment permeating the lives of those who avoid such forms of entertainment. Entertainment is not
how many of them do I look up to? Of course the most obvious person is my very own mother, but that made me think who else deserves to join this circle of reverence. Some names entered my mind, but do I really admire them? It is clear that women that enter my daily life like Oprah Winfrey have an impression on me, but impact and admiration do not always go hand in hand. Then I realized who I really admire: Britney Spears. The teen pop idol singer Britney Spears is a woman that I look up to for many

“Physical attractions are common, but a real mental connection is rare. If you find it, hold onto it.” This quote being said, think about how you would like to receive and give love in a romantic relationship. Everyone has different needs and wants in a romantic relationship. When finding a relationship type one usually will pull to one over the other due to their lifestyle at the time. Romantic relationships can be hard to figure out which type you may be in or was in, but each of these classifications
In my everyday life I use all sorts of media, they range from cable television, Internet, radio, and the newspaper. For myself media, is the form and technology I use to receive and communicate information. The different forms of media I was trying to avoid were cable television, the internet and radio. I figured if I could avoid those things I would be doing well in avoiding most obvious forms of mass media. What I realized as I began this whole experience this whole experience is that the mass
So, you thought you knew Goldilocks, huh? Well, did you know Hansel from “Hansel and Gretel” is Goldilocks brother? That’s right. Goldilocks is really Gretel. Here’s what happened; After Hansel and Gretel killed the witch who had kidnapped them for months and forced them to eat food nonstop, they decided to run away, but they didn’t want anyone to connect them to the murder they had to commit here. They decided to eat the witch’s candy house to the ground no evidence was left. In a week’s time they
The piece of music I decided to analyze is by Britney Spears and called” Ooops! I did it again”. The genre of this piece of music is considered pop culture. This music is completely different to anything we have listened to in class. Vocal music allows listeners to be able to connect with the melodies of the music and allow the lyrics to flow smoothly. The melody of this song is repetitive throughout and the melody follows with the beats. The lyrics are also repetitive and allows listeners to be
One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought, for the dominion I should acquire and transmit over the elemental foes of our race. (Letter 4.21) Uh-oh. It's never a good sign when you start telling your sister that it's not a big deal if someone dies, as long as you fulfill your scientific goal. Walton is about two and a half steps away from full-on mad scientist, here. The innocent and helpless creature bestowed on them by heaven, whom
“The Cost of Doing Business, Oh I Mean School” College football has become big business. With the CEO’s of the universities, oops I mean “Presidents and Deans” bringing in the big money. It’s a genius idea really. They bring in millions of dollars each year and do not have to pay their employees, so it’s a hundred percent profit. Yes, they say they pay their players by giving them the value of a free education. How free is it? Not just on Saturdays but every day of the week the players but their
and rusty, he was moving like he wasn’t as good as he used to be, and I was in top notch shape. I beat him in a pickup game 7 to 21. A gang member like him, getting trash talked by someone like me without him even being able to say anything because I had beat him so bad left him angry. His friends watched me embarrass him on both sides of the ball. The next day I walked to the court stunned to see a dazzle of Piltus’ friends
While I was reading the Cracked Pot, an online newspaper for The Potter’s School, I found this picture, which was really meant for a contest. I decided it would be fun to write a story for it even though the contest was over. Travis is a teenager that might be dealing with depression. He does not notice it until he meets Sarah. Sarah is a girl his own age and possesses the very opposite disposition. Her smile could light up a black room and might be the only thing that could wake Travis up. The
My Family Trip to Disneyland I am finally going to the “Happiest place on earth,” Disneyland. I am ultimately ready for the best three days of my life. I am going to Disneyland, I am going to be spending time with my family and I am going to have lots of fun. On the drive to Disneyland, we stop at Denny’s to eat dinner at one a.m. totally normal, right? I order the most basic and delicious meal of all time, chicken strips and fries. We are all half awake and ready to eat, as we are ordering my
only the words “I” and “Forgive” are capitalized. The author maybe chose to capitalize “I” because he was trying to give importance to the fact that he did it, like taking responsibility for his actions. “Forgive” maybe was capitalized because he was trying to give importance to the word as well, almost like if it was the theme of the poem. Another reason that the author capitalized these words could be that he was trying to give out a message of forgiveness: “I Forgive.” The word “I” is in the first
2011, “Hold it against me”, “Till the world ends”, “I wanna Go” and “Criminal” Music video premieres. “Femme Fatale” album release and Tour. Britney went to the Judging panel on X-Factor USA for season 2 (2012), and had the “Scream & Shout” Music Video Premieres. In 2013, Britney announces Vegas Residency
“Afternoon of the Sex Children”. He suggests that I live without limits, and disregard the judgments that will be made if I live this way. Unfortunately, society doesn’t make it that easy. Everywhere I go, I’m influenced by the standards society holds through the media. Currently, the media is one huge contradiction. It urges this idea of doing whatever I want, but then also pushes me to conform to the standards of society. During my freshman year of high school, I had to take a sexual education class, and
to take her normal walk in the field, a dragon flew to her window. “Excuse me princess, but I would like to build my cave in the field right here. For I have spent many nights, cold without a shelter. I promise I won’t take up too much room and I won’t hurt the poor creatures that live there. I’ll even give you this magic wand in return for your gracious acceptance,” he said. Gwen kindly accepted. She did not want a poor animal to have no place to sleep, and he promised not to hurt any of the critters
Story from wolfs point of view. Here I am, lying on my deathbed. I cant believe i got myself into this mess. It really wasnt my fault. It was the Red Riding Hood brat who got me all these problems. If it wasnt for her, I would have still been running around free. Because of her, I am dying and the worst part is that they wont give me a burial in a jail. After I got sent here 50 years ago, I experienced every kind of diseace known to mankind. It all started one sunny afternoon whenI was very
youtube.com/watch?v=N6Cfy58-zPU) I would include this song because it would bring the intro to the book alive restoring the feel of watching the show and reading the comics. I actually listened to it while reading the book and it gave me more excitement about reading a book than i have ever felt. When i read the book I actually did research on the topic in the book. This is the only book i have ever done that with. Just listening to it gave me a new found joy for batman. I never really appreciated how
norm that I chose to violate is the one where as I describe, you evade people’s personal space. What defines giving people their personal space and not getting too close, is that out of respect in my opinion, people need to have space to breathe and to move. If you get too close to people, either the person is going to think you are sexually intimidating him or she, you are just creepy, or even worse think you are rude for intimidating a right people have to be inches away from you. As I was getting
I Am a Writer As a painfully shy and quiet third grader, I read my little, red, pocket-size dictionary at recess and snack times for fun. The big words fascinated me. Who came up with these words? How did they decide what they mean? How did you use the word idiosyncratic in a sentence and sound like you meant to use that word all along? A tall and lanky sixth grader wrote about the life and function of algae, while everyone else wrote about the history of the telescope or about the difference
