Remix Me- AP Lang

I am a remix of the "Moorhouse Girls", that is my mom and her two sisters. It's funny to hear friends and family refer to me as all three, I mean really it's crazy to think I have a little of each. Most people say I look just like my Aunt Renee' with that I have to agree, the photos we have are like mini me(Renee') pictures. I love that not only because when I look at her I think she's beautiful but she's also my Godmother, it seems appropriate. When creating one of my art projects or bringing my completed work home my grandparents and mom often say you are given the gift of art from your Aunt Mandy. Not only is she an artist but she also teaches Art. To me that is the coolest compliment, she is a genius and her personality is also full of color and love.My mom is the typical middle sister, she loves her family and is constantly making sure everyone is happy and sharing her love, family comes first to my mom. She has shown me and my sister that family is a treasure, that is one way I resemble my mom but also my mom's zany, fun, high energy personality draws people to her, most people say I have the same qualities; that is something I am proud of, my mom will be forever young and live life, I am following in her footsteps. The Moorhouse Girl's are all beautiful inside and out, talented and loving. To know I am a remix of the three fabulous woman is an awesome feeling, I hope I can carry on their love and loyalty.

Remix- Ap Lang

Original ideas come from the aspect of created or invented works. The idea of going to watch a film in your car, so called a "Drive-in movie", was later developed into going to the movie theaters.

Staples- Ap Lang

“I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster I had created.” -Mary Shelley

Shelleys quote relates to Staples essay by all the stereotypes. The young black man is instantly judged; the "monsters" are his race that destroy/make him out to be "the stereotypical black male". Staples turns his story around in the essay as it goes; the women in the beginning seems to be the "victim", but in reality he is the victim for being stereotyped by society.

Who agrees?  Pot isn’t some evil, life ruining drug like advertised propaganda has tried to to make us believe for a very long time now. Instead of hurting us, it would help in SO many ways including helping the economy, keeping nonviolent offenders who only wanted to smoke a little pot out of our prisons, helping the overcrowding issue and leaving room for those that truly deserve to be in there.

AND! Its medicinal and extremely beneficial to those with certain ailments. 

Sigh. When will people learn and stop being so ignorant? ._.

In my third post, it sums up my first and second posts; we need to save our money and put it to good use. Leagalizing marijuana will benifit everyone.

[thinkbeyondbars]

Truth!! Time to stop this nonsense. Legalize and put that 9 billion to good use for society. 

[jillijane-blog]

My second post is similar to my first post, instead of making this a lose/lose situation, we should legalize marijuana and make it a win/win situation. We are paying more money to send them to jail, this way we both get what we want; they can smoke and we put our money into something useful.

If people are going to smoke wether its illegalized or not, then we mine as well tax them for it and make money off of it

Human Value- Ap Lang

I beleive ALL people, (crippled, old, sick, criminals) are worth something. Everyone has has some sort of positvive self being. Whether it is simply a smile or a dedication to truly making the effort to bring others daily joy. It is what each indiviual chooses to devote to others and starts with their own self worth. At the end of the day it always feels best to know you have brought others happiness or helped someone else celebrate or manage through a difficult time. This can be acheived by all, crippled, old, sick or even a criminal.

Work & Play- Ap lang

Work: a certain task you are told to do

Play: what you want to do

Both can be out of your own will, but the value of work ensures time for play. This develops responsibilities, skill, focus, and work ethic.

Ap Lang- Altruism

Altruism is the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others. This is the act of unselfishness; I believe this is possible, we all have our flaws and selfish ways to go about but we also all do selfless acts from time to time. At some point in your life you have done something for someone else without thinking about yourself. Even if it is such a simple act you still chose to not put yourself first for once. Sometimes this is rare to see in others and we usually just see self-centered people these days when everyone at some point in time has done a selfless act.

My abstract is family relations and i am using "The Blind Side" for one of my resources i am using this book. The book I read, "The Glass Castle", the little girl comes from a very poor family and money has always been an issue just like it was for Mike in "The Blind Side"; until a family took them in, just like i wish someone would've taken in her family in "The Glass Castle".

This ties in with the book I'm reading, "The Glass Castle",  the little girl is very emotional knowing that her dad is an alcholic and she even asks him to stop drinking for her nineth birthday.

My book, "The Glass Castel", has many family realtions especially when it comes to her and her mom. Nobody in the house really takes time out of their day to spend with each other. They're always to cought up in their own lifes.

“I knew I was never meant to be loved. I knew I would never live a life like my brothers. Worst of all, I knew that is was only a matter of time until Kevin would hate me, just like all the others did.”

This child went through so much in his struggle within his home. Being abused as a child is...

[jillijane-blog]

This is similar to my book i am reading, "The Glass Castle" with family relations and growing up all the obstacles she has to face and go through as just a child. Just like the little boy in your book it seams like he has a broken household just like the little girl in my book.

Ap Lang- "Dwellings"

My dwelling would be more of wide open land to roam around in, but come back home when needed. If i was an animal i would be a horse because they are free spirited. Horses also tend to look out for their family at all times.

The family breaks apart. The dad, with a lifetime of chain-smoking and drinking, is dying although he is barely sixty years old. When he dies of a heart attack, Jeannette is forced to examine her own life and realize that while she has pushed away her parents and her past, part of her thrives on the reckless freedom they instilled in her. She divorces her husband, moves, and eventually finds peace with her past and her present.

The Glass Castle- Ap lang

"The Glass Castle", by Jeannette Walls states a lot of depression, Welch turns out to be more depressing than any of them wants to admit. First, Dad's mom is an abusive woman who takes sexual advantage of Brian. The town is segregated and is not very welcoming. The family stays put, however, and Mom and Dad buy a shack on the top of a hill for the family to live in. It has no indoor plumping or central heating and has a leaking roof. Dad's drinking gets worse and the kids are often hungry. As Jeannette enters adolescence she contemplates more and more her parents' choices and goes against them for being irresponsible parents. She and her older sister Lori hatch an escape plan; Lori will move to New York City when she graduates and Jeannette will follow her there. The girls accomplish this dream.
