Quique Aviles Quotes
Quique Aviles essay is the story of his battle with addiction and how writing and performing help with it. As I read this essay one quote stuck out to me "I am a poet and an actor. I am also a crack addict and an alcoholic, and that is how people see me: a pipe head, a drunk, an epidemic, a disaster area", this quote ties into a part later on about zero tolerance with both of those parts of the essay it makes me think he believes no matter what he does he can not escape the label of addict, but even with that he still knows he needs to

    Tom Weylin Quotes

    Tom Weylin and his wife, Margaret, both resent Dana because she is an educated black woman with proper dialect. The wife even goes as far as throwing coffee on her and slapping her, while the husband sends flirtatious signs her way and even tries to buy her, but Dana refuses.

    Bernie Quotes

    The whole thing that occurred with Bernie was extremely weird and strange. If that happened to me I’d be worried about Bernie but I was glad when they checked up on him, Bernie seemed strange but was a pretty cool guy. As odd and strange as this book is, having the hearts being the last card is quite different but I feel that it adds a spark to the book and the story it makes it interesting. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year, I give Ed props for having a huge party at his place for all of his friends. Around Christmas you need to be with family and friends and that’s what he’s doing. That bet he had with Marv was hilarious, betting him to give the smelly Doorman a kiss is amusing. I can remember growing up I did stupid stuff…

    Cezanne Pinto Quotes

    “In 1860, when I ran from the plantation in Virginia, I decided to be twelve years old. COuld’ve been anywhere from nine to fourteen, but as Frederick Douglass, that great man, said, you might as well ask a horse how old he is as a slave” (Stolz 3). This quote was said by Cezanne Pinto, the main character of the historical novel, Cezanne Pinto, about a young slave living on a plantation in Virginia with high hopes of freedom and an education. Originally born Deucy Clayburn, Cezanne spent his time as a slave working in the stables due to his gift with horses. The story is told from the point of view of an approximately ninety-year-old Cezanne, reflecting on his journeys with the cook, Tamar, to escape slavery. Although he faces many hardships of discrimination, he never let it get in the way of his dreams. In the end, the old man rests in peace with the satisfaction of living a…

    Beautiful Boy and Tweak

    Reading two different accounts of the story of a drug addict allows much room for comparison between the two. In the case of David and Nic Sheff’s books, I was surprised at how much similarity there was between the two; they agreed on most points and there was no striking discontinuity in their stories. There is, however, a significant difference in the perspectives from which the two are told. Naturally, Nic, as the addict son, takes on a more self-centered view. In David’s book it is clear that Nic’s addiction is the one central driving force in their family life, especially in David’s daily life. In Nic’s book, however, his relationship with his father and the rest of his family is only one of the several focal points of the book; Nic is also preoccupied with girlfriends, friends, and his sponsor.…

    Drugs: A Social Norm Analysis

    Drugs have always been a social norm and throughout this essay I intend to look at four texts which portray drug use in different situations with different individuals. The four texts are songs, Deja Vu by Eminem, Chris Dolmeth by Hopsin, Ill Mind of Hopsin 6 by Hopsin and The Girls on Drugs by Wale. I have discovered two distinct connections in these songs, one of the connections is that there are many different reasons as to why people choose to do drugs, and the other connection is the purpose which is that the artists are trying to show us that the outcome of doing drugs will only ever be bad.…

    Romeo And Juliet Fate Quotes

    Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the most memorable love stories, so the theme must be about love, or is it something else?

They then try to hide their love from their families due to the major conflicts between them, but in the process, they both end up dead because they tried to escape their families’ grasp.
