Independence

By Anonymous
Independent

I want to be more independent for my New Years resolution, because it’s hard for me to say no to someone or hard to be myself around other people. And it helps me find the real me and who I want to be instead of following what others do. This word connects to my life by helping me understand that, people can’t take control over you if you don’t let them. And it teaches my not to be as gullible and I become more bold and straight forward. This word means everything to me, it will help me get through in life and help me to find out what 8 want to be when I grow up. My first step to live this word is, whenever someone asks me to do something I don’t wanna do I’m gonna say no and that’s it, no excuses just no. Because if I continue letting people control me I won’t be able to do anything by myself. I’ll hold myself accountable by taking time to explore who I am and to take full control over myself overtime. This word connect to multiple areas of my life, one, because, you know how everyone likes rap? I like just not certain songs I’m more into pop than rap but to be honest, I would only listen to rap because other people did but now I just don’t care. Two, being myself, and to be a leader not following after anyone else’s tracks. Three, like I said saying no to something I don’t want to do and they can’t do anything about it if I say no because no means no. My New Year independent will help me improve and shape my life how I want it to be, not how anyone else thinks or believes my life should end up

Outsiders Connection to Another Article

By Anonymous
Healing ‘Brick City’: A Newark Doctor returns home relates to The Outsiders in different ways. In both the article and the book they resemble heroism and lots of struggle, loss, and sacrifice.     “My past wasn’t always perfect. I grew up in a single-parent home with five siblings [in a] drug-infested community”. This relates to The Outsiders because, Johnny gave back to be apart of tomorrow. He risked his life in a burning church, to save children. He was a brave hero, and the the man gave back by also saving lives as a doctor, and his mother’s words of the wiser set him up for life to help his community.     “Through my mother’s way of handling life, she always made sure that I understood the need to give back.... She always said, ‘Once you make it, you have to come back and help other people.’ Too often, in Newark especially, I see so many professionals that do make it out — they don’t return. And I think that’s a crime in itself.... You have to have some soci...

Interesting Comparison From the Book to The Movie (The Outsiders)

By Anonymous
There is always a difference between a book and the remake in a movie, just with the outsiders it has many similarities and differences. One similarity would be in both the movie and the book they would meet Cherry Valentine in the theatre. Another similarity is when johnny kills Cherry Valentine’s boyfriend, Bob, which plays a huge part in the story. Next the church caught on fire which, Dally, Ponyboy, and Johnny all saved kids. Second to last Johnny dies a few days later because of the fire and it sends a few people crazy. Lastly Darry also gets shot up by the police because he robbed a store, and pulled out his gun on purpose, he wanted to die because of his best friend Johnny, he didn't know what to do without him. The few similarities from the book to the movie, the big similarities.     Finally for the differences, there is always a difference no matter what, everybody makes mistakes. When Ponyboy goes to the theatre to get some popcorn with Cherry, in the book there...

My Identity

By Anonymous
I have many things that define me. Not by just looks but by my culture and family and lifestyle. Of course I am black/African American. I have a long history of bad things and good things that has happened to my culture. My family is Christian and we love to go to church. Our family is actually known and for generations passed down to sing. We are very spiritual and when I'm over my mom's house we usually listen to gospel music. I am a brother of 2 and an uncle of 3. My brother and sister both have kids, Daylena and DaS'hown. And my brother has 1 child that is a girl; Shonti. And my sister has 2 boys, Joshua who turned four on september 18th and my other nephew Jordan who turned 1 year old in July 21st. My mom is a really great cook, but she inspired me to want to be a professional cook, I want to learn how to cook better than her. Even though I am only 13, I still have jobs like most 13 year olds have a job to be students. But I have my own jobs probably a lot of people...
