Social media is taking a big toll on relationships .! So many people let what people post/say on social media affect what they got going on. According to http://www.yourtango.com believes that “The best relationships are not posted all over social media , talk to your partner and stop letting inboxes , likes , and posts ruin what your trying to build”. Everyone lets the whole world into their relationship whether its to showcase their partner or to tell how their partner did this and how their partner did that , and whether their on good or bad terms which is letting them into a two person relationship when it should be involving no one but the two people in it .

People should not allow everyone in their business because it’s telling to much about what you have / y’all have going on in reality I do not know why you would because nobody would understand but the people that’s in it . One example would be Justin Bieber and Salena Gomez he let his relationship touch social media every time which resulted in fans bashing his new lady telling other to harm her or physically harming her / trying themselves or maybe even threats . All according to people.com/celebrity. However some people may feel as if they want everyone to know that their in a relationship and with who because if they don’t get posted about or talked about 24/7 they may feel as if their being cheated on , him / her are ashamed of being with them , or trying to keep each other a secret and then they will argue about it maybe even post about it on the media and everyone else will be dragged into it .
Be the change you wish to see in the world ! I used this quote in my introduction because it ties all three of my people together they all have been or are going through it and see room for improvement in society. My three sources are “The Central Park Five” , “Jada Williams” and “Tq Wair” they all connect on a level to where they want to things and labels before it keeps spreading into society.
In the real world and Netflix Documentry the “Central Park Five” they show brotherhood , how independent they were , and also how curious they were. The text stated “But before the Netflix series and before the city finally settled their case for 41 Million dollars the former five they told their stories to the whole n in a special three part report called “case not closed “. And they have done this through Speaker tone and language . This is significant because they sat down and told their stories to show the world that what happened to them was unfair and should not happen again because their “Political Justice System ” failed them and they do not want anybody else’s too. Another piece of text evidence stated in the text was “The truth came out . Truth came out “. This was shown through Speaker because they want to show people how they used let things in the world go on so they see the problem and want to stop it from happening again .

Jada Williams expresses that girls can play basketball as good as a boy can ! The text stated that “She’s quick off the dribble , speed merchant with the ball , pesky defender”. The quote is stated through Speaker Qualities . This is significant because she wants to prove to everyone that you do not have to be a boy to be a basketball phenomonon everyone thinks only boys can be quick off the dribble and speedy with good defense the world will forever think boy are better than girls. Another piece of text evidence is “She has better handles than the boys”. That is spoken through tone This piece of text evidence is significant because she wants the stereotypes to stop in the world so she works hard to forever beat those opinions in the world to change those .

Tq Wair fought and is still fighting to beat the odds. According to http://www.fox9.com Tq Wair who has overcome burn injuries he suffered in a house fire when he was five severely burn in march 2005 to star on the football field. This is spoken through Speaker tone. This is relevant because Tq wants to show the world that obstacles can only stand in your way if you let them. According to primetimesportstalk.com Tq stated “My mother called my name and led me walking out the fire she said she knew i was going to be something special. This is spoken through speaker qualities . This is important because Tq would like the world to know that you can shine all you want you just have to believe and do not pay as much to the critics .

They are all very different situations but all come together as one because they want to show the world a change and that its okay to live in a world where people uplift and look out for each other . My three examples were “Central Park Five “, “Jada Williams”, and “Tq Wair” want to let us know their working for something real special in the world working real hard and wont stop until they get it . I feel as if you have a good couple examples of good role models who are not hesitating for a change in society to better it for everyone in it should we be doing the same ?.
In the story Of Mice Of Men , a motif is used as any element that has symbolic significance In the story. Through Its repetition, using a motif can help you produce other narrative aspects such as theme or mood.
In this story of mice of men by john steinbeck the author portrayed the theme through the motifs by using the literary devices Bunkhouse , Hands, and Women to explain to you all to explain how in his mind these words are seen as in real life , or experiences that he goes through or maybe other people that go through It that see It this way too .!
The first motif that Steinbeck decided to repeatedly use throughout the story was “Bunkhouse” according to pg 59 he stated “We’d have our own place where we belonged and not sleep in no bunkhouse” .This shows how close George and Lennie were that they would go and get a place together it portray’s how good of a friendship him and Lennie have . The second quote of the motif Bunkhouse that Steinbeck stated on pg 95 was “I’m going into the bunkhouse ” (after Lennie killed Curley’s wife and George went to get the gun. It can be inferred from the description of the quote that the qualities of safety are valued by the author.

The second motif Steinbeck decided to repeatedly use throughout the story was “Hands ” his first quote was “His excitement increased until he pounded his knee with his hand “according to page 71 . The authors reference to hands serves primarily to ” Knowing your own strength” . The second quote Steinbeck decided to use for the motif of hands was “Lennie’s hand closed over her mouth and nose” on pg 91 . This shows that you can not be grabbing anything you want someone can seriously hurt .

The third motif Steinbeck decided to repeatedly use throughout the story was “Women” and according to pg 32 Steinbeck stated ” Bye boys”. It can be inferred from the description of the quote that qualities of woman being sexual objects are valued by the author. The second quote that Steinbeck decided to use for the motif of “Women” was “You stop it now you’ll muss it”. “You stop it now you”ll muss it up , he setted her head sideways and lennie’s hand closed ” all according to pg 91.
In conclusion Steinbeck decided to used all of these motifs In the book of mice of men because he wanted to show his readers different aspects of how he feels and looks at things he really expresses the fact that he feels that women are whores and always causing trouble , to feeling like with your body you should know your own strength and portraying the fact that its good to form a bond with somebody knowing that you got them and they got you and you do not have to worry about them leaving overall I would recommend you read the book first before watching the movie because their is a few differences from the book and the story and its fun to be able to pick them out as your watching the movie.
Did you know that police brutality affects the upper north part of the city of chicago in a very massive way ?The color of someone’s skin scaring you because it’s a little dark to the point where you feel like you have to take action and possibly even harm them that I will never be able to understand . I have always wondered does it make them feel good . Does it make you feel good ?
According to ssamagazine.com they have stated that, “The black race is targeted more than any other culture.” I supported this article by stating that looking at the population today I can tell that something is a little off. If i can name a list of black males that were either the age of 20 or younger who were shot and killed or who died from police brutality i could tell just by looking at those pages of lists who’s targeted more it’s horrible. I can relate to the racial issue in this part when I shouldn’t be able to me and my siblings would go to the mall and walk around and touch little toys and look at things like everybody else, however the store owners and managers would stop what they were doing just to watch and see what we were doing so that we wouldn’t “steal” anything . It actually hurts knowing that you can be profiled just for being in the skin you were born into it’s also judging a book by it’s cover which isn’t right at all !

Ssor.org stated that, “Mostly african americans are killed most from being profiled while unarmed.” My response to that was that I wasn’t surprised at all because when I was researching I saw tons of angry and sad remarks about a loved one they had and lost to police brutality most were very young and died because of the way he or she looked , most protested with words on their posters like “This is not right ” or ” we will get justice ” , also ” He or She was unarmed ” . With all this being said I can stand to say that I don’t like this at all because it Is not fair, and it is not right and justice should be served I hate that when I want to go somewhere with my family and it’s a very nice store or high priced people make assumptions on if were going to steal , or if we can afford it . I have always wondered why can’t we do the things that other people do and have money like everyone else just because were black .

From http://www.usatoday.com i know that “today they are still damaging the mental health of black culture “. My opinion on this topic was why ? why does it feel good to put somebody else down how does it even feel right to make an individual feel uncomfortable in their own skin is always what wanders my mind . For example I was in the car with a couple of friends and we already felt off ease because their was a police car alongside and we did not know what they were trying to do eventually they pulled us over and literally never told us why but we did as told anyway because we didn’t want any incidents. (we already knew what would happen a unarmed black kid dies and the cop gets off easy because it was ” self defense “. ) So we pulled over and they asked a lot of questions shuffled a little bit and they noticed my friend had a bunch of money in his pockets and decided to ask “Where’d you get all that money are you selling drugs “. I was definitely confused as to why that was even appropriate to ask .

I urge you to take charge take a stand for those who wont. Some people are scared but you can be the leader. You can focus everyone’s attention on this situation so we can get the justice and equality that we deserve because if we do not put a stop to this now no telling how the future will end up .

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
