In summary, on 09/21/15 at 0418 hours I was patrolling the area of 1600 S. Laramie Ave., at which time I observed a male subject with a youthful appearance walking northbound 16th Street. I made contact with the subject, at which time he identified himself as (Rosas, Alexis DOB 04/21/97). While speaking with Rosas, I detected a strong odor of fresh cannabis emanating from his person. Rosas related he had some cannabis in his sweater pocket. I recovered a silver box containing a green leafy substance from Rosas ' right sweater pocket.
"On the subway" puts into perspective the contrast between the lives of people of different races. The author, Sharon Olds, develops both characters by vividly describing each character and using analogies to emphasize the contrast between them. As a result of the collision of the two the narrator gains insight into how different people really are. When developing each character, Olds' most useful aids were his detailed descriptions. She describes the person opposite the narrator as a frightening stranger.
The poem, “On the Subway” by Sharon Olds addresses the similarities and differences between White’s and Black’s. She addresses this by contrasting their skin color. She uses imagery and stereotypes about races to develop her insight about the need of both social class. The author uses vivid imager in the poem, both dark and light imagery.
Kids are important because they grow up to be adults with power. They need to be taught how to make well-informed choices. We can teach them these things in children 's church. Teaching k-5th allowed me to help others grow, and to give back some of the lessons I was taught. My church also let me lead them in worship, allowing people feel closest to God during worship.
I worked for goodwill. They contract out to other businesses to help disabled, special needs an felons. Sometimes it is hard for certain people in life to get jobs. It is called Rock-Tenn, they recycle trash. They ran the trash down a conveyor belt.
Abraham Lincoln once said, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.” In the travel novel The Cruelest Journey, Kira Salak makes the difficult decision of kayaking 600 miles to Timbuktu. The internal battle she overcame while on her trip proved to be significant in what she learned from her experiences. This quest included several mental aspects that affected Salak’s train of thought throughout the duration of her journey. The mental journey of a hero is set off when they develop and pursue an aspiration in mind, they begin to discover the type of person they truly are, and they are determined to avoid an uninteresting and stagnant life.
Like the classic saying has it “You can take the kid out of Brooklyn but you can’t take the Brooklyn out of the kid.” Same goes for Chicago this is my story. I was born in the windy city, on the south side. I wasn’t there for that long I was there till my fifth birthday, and then I moved to Boston, Ma with my mother, sister and I. However, I believe that south side raised me because every winter and summer vacation I would visit my grandmother or as she liked to be called “Mo-Mo” While visiting her I’ve seen some pretty harsh situations.
Everything is so convenient in Philadelphia. The high school I went to was just an eight-minute walk. There was a convenience store across the street from my house and literally one on every block. If the walk was too long, one could drive their car or ride on Septa. Septa would drive anyone anywhere they want just for $2.25 a ride.
One night, during the cold winter, I walked along the side walk to reach the local store down the block. As I walked out, before I can realize it, I was dropping down onto the concrete while bullets swiftly passed me. I then began to run back home, but I wanted to keep running. Away from Chicago, away from the west side. Growing up in Chicago, it was easy to assume that there was nothing different beyond the blocks of my streets.
Recently me and my fellow classmates were given the opportunity to interview an urban teacher. The Urban teacher I was given was Mr.Fine, who is an african American male who has taught history and English in urban setting schools in the cities such as Brooklyn, New York and Atlanta, Georgia. Mr.Fine now teaches a humanities class in a private school in London, England. During our interview Mr.Fine really opened my classmates and I eyes, He showed us that not everything that happens in teacher needs to be planned, you should always teach though the multiple lens, do what is necessary then apologizing for them later, and that we need to raise critical analysis to help students become completely aware of their surroundings.
In 2008, I moved to an apartment in Rockaway Park located in Far Rockaway. I’ll admit, the neighborhood was far from attractive when I first arrived. The rumor mills stirred up a storm suggesting that Far Rockaway was well… “Rough around the edges” for a lack of a better term. Working on Riker’s Island, most of our patients who reside in Queens often came from Far Rockaway, thereby confirming the rumors that the town was riddled with crime, infested with drugs and plagued with anything one might consider rebellious or unscrupulous were true. And on my first day, I got lost and winded up surrounded by… you guessed it, The Projects.
My name is Andrew Freeway. I am a slave who escaped from my powerful white owner who did not treat me as a human being. I was treated as a piece of property. I was forced to work days up to 18 hours of hard labor. I was given harsh punishments if I did not work my full potential at all times.
At the beginning of this assignment, I choose inner city culture because I was under the impression that I knew at least a little about it. I live in the suburbs of Chicago, and my parents have often worked in the inner city, and so I have heard many stories. However, completing this project has shown me how little I know about other cultures, and how important it is to research before meeting a client. To begin, I have often been told that violence and poverty in the inner city are partially caused by bad parenting and drugs. While those can be a cause of problems in the inner city, just like they can be anywhere, none of my research identified those aspects as ultimate causes.
Not being aware of the harsh world that I had yet to encounter, I was always considered supposedly the “naive”one. With me, and my innocent mind, I was always desperate to go out in the real world, or supposedly a “toxic” environment, as my parents had portrayed it to be. I was always desperate for attention from others, and wanted to be part of large groups that would always have the best time of their lives. I have a vivid memory of the time that I was spoken about by other people; people I have done nothing to. Who could've known that people could be so harsh, and rude, and have no shame in generating the most nastiest rumours, or comments?
Life is an intense struggle of discovering the depths of one’s identity, and often this discovery is only made when all of life’s pieces come together. David Fincher’s movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button delves into this idea of self-discovery and its relation to time. When Daisy reflects on her life through Benjamin’s perspective, experiencing his emotions, encounters, and perception of the world, Fincher suggests that time is of the essence and only when it has run out will one truly understand how valuable life is: how the people shape who we are and how the struggles we face build our character.
