Barack Obama's Civil Rights Policy

There are some things I agree with thats in President Obama Civil Right Policies. Then there are some things that I don't agree with. One thing that I agree with that Obama states is to "Fight Work Place Discrimination". I think that a man or women shoud have the right to go to work and not be judge by their appearances. Those people came to work to make money, not to be judged by their boss or peers. They get up every morning to make money for a living. I agree when Obama states that fight it and that are laws should be expanded.

The thing that I disagree with is "Support Full Civil Unions and Federal for LGBT Couples". To me, I think that supporting LGBT is wrong. We don't need kids seing their parents with the same sex. A child shouldn't see their Mom with another man and vise versa. The child will grow up and think thats its ok to be with the same sex. To me I except everyone. I really don't care if your one of the LGBT's. They are still human and just because I don't agree with what they are doing......now one deserves to be ignored. Thats what I think.

New Teacher Essay

Hello, I'm going to share with you 3 main things I like to do. The 3 items are who I am, my hobbies and why New Media Technology is a good school to work for.
My first main point is who I am. My name is Richan Goodman. I'm 14 and I was born and raised in parts of Philadelphia,-German town, Delaware and New Jersey. I'm the President of the school and I'm trying my best to make this school a better place. I'm a social butterfly who likes to meet to knew new people. I'm hardworking and kindhearted too.
My second main point is my hobbies. I love to sing, write poetry and make beats. Singing is my passion and I want to pursue my dreams. I enjoy writing poetry and reciting them. I won 2nd place in the Oratorical Contest. Making beats is also exciting. Every day I make beats in my studio with my studio.
My third main point is why this school is a good school to work for. Unlike other schools, New Media supplies a great amount of knowledge about our African descent. You get to explore everything about your history. Most schools don't tell you about all the African Americans who contributed things to us. Come here and you'll find out.
In conclusion everyone here is excited to get a new Social Studies teacher.

Critical Analysis-Biggie Smalls Juicy

Biggie Smalls:Juicy


To me this song is kind of negative from the use of language. To me this verse means that life was kinda hard. You have to make out with what you have. You can't complain about what you have and don't have. When life gives you lemons you make lemon juice. When times get tough you have to push through them."Don't let them hold you down, reach for the stars" means that there's people out there who would love to bring you down but you have to keep pushing to reach for the stars and above. Misery loves company. So when you around a lot of miserable people they expect you to be miserable like them. When they see that your nothing like them, they will do any and everything to get you to where they are.

Critical Analysis





You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes, and fancy car-ars.
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far.
Cause everyone knows, just who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
You Steady Chasin that paper.
Just live your life (Oh! ), ay ay ay.
Ain't got no time for no haters
Just live your life (Ay! ), ay ay ay.
No telling where it'll take ya.
Just live your life (Oh! ), ay ay ay.
Cause I'm a paper chaser.
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh)
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh)
Just living my life

(T.I.):
Never mind what haters say, ignore them 'til they fade away.
Amazing they ungrateful after all the game I gave away.
Safe to say I paved the way, for you cats to get paid today.
You still be wasting days away now had I never saved the day.
Consider them my protégé, homage I think they should pay.
Instead of being gracious, they violate in a major way.
I never been a hater still I love them, in a crazy way.
Some say they so yay and no they couldn't get work on Labor day.

To me this song means that you have to live your life and not anyone's else. When you try to live other people's life, your not being you. Your so busy trying to follow after that person. You can't worry about haters because they will try to bring you down. You'll always have someone trying to bring you down and you have to prove them wrong. You have to show them that they are wrong. I think this is a positive song. It's saying that you can't focus on everyone else when your trying to catch your dreams.
