In my opinion, a book is always a better choice for entertainment then a movie. Usually, when a book is adapted into a movie; the movie always seems to omit scenes and details mentioned in the book. This is the same with Walter Mosley’s Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned; a novel that tells a story surrounding a man named Socrates Fortlow. However, while the movie version of Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned follows the same concept as the book there are substantial differences in terms of events

Whitney Houston was acknowledged for her exceptional voice: “a mezzo-soprano, she had tremendous range and popularized a difficult vocal technique, melisma, where a singer uses a range

Always connected. Always in control. This is what social media in all its forms allows us to do. Throughout the past few years, the idea of “social media” has grown exponentially in popularity. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Google+ are allowing people to connect over common interests and share ideas.

There is no doubt that life is hard and people can contribute to that, but life truly becomes unbearable when you stop being true to yourself. In the song “Always,” RM talks about how he has lost his past true self and has no more hope in life. He says that he has lost his past innocent self because he tried desperately to fit in and be understood by others. When he was younger he got separated from his peers and friends because he was different. He was very smart and at the top of his class- he

Always On The Side of The Egg by Haruki Murakami has given me a deeper understanding of how attitudes affect beliefs can influence our thinking and how thoughts affect actions.

Henry and "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant, a common theme amongst the two is "Things are not always what they appear" through the use of characterization. In "Hearts and Hands," O. Henry explores the theme through the characterization of the Marshal. When the Marshal takes the place of a criminal to save the criminal from embarrassment when crossing paths with an old friend

Throughout my life, I have found that always being in action is the best way to accomplish my goals. Constantly working on something, curricular or otherwise, has always helped me find contentment. Action allows me to hone my skills while focusing my energy into things that are beneficial. I am a firm believer in the tenet of work (hard at work worth doing) and I have tried very hard in my everyday life to follow it. Whether I am diligently studying to maintain my grades or helping my peers with
