In order to be great or get better, you should be wearing Nike, that is what the add is telling you. I am good, but not good enough because of the fact that I might not be wearing Nike training gear. The Nike training gear is "tested and proven by the U.S Woman's National Soccer Team forward Lindsay Tarpley." This is said to prove speed, power, agility, reaction, and quickness but only from Lindsay. Her better is better than our better. The add makes us feel as if we cannot live up to our full potential if we are not wearing Nike as our gear during training. The girl running is very slim fit and has high shorts on to represent what you should look like if you were a female runner.

What's Acceptable?

Growing up as a child I loved to play with remote controlled cars. They seemed to be the greatest invention of the time because I would always wonder how the remote could control the car from so far away. So for Christmas each year  and birthdays and such, I would always ask for a newer remote controlled car. But when the remote controlled planes and helicopters came out I was completely memorized. I couldn't believe it went from cars that drove themselves by remote, to planes and helicopters that could actually stay in the air with these remotes. This type of toy was acceptable for a boy growing up. But if a girl were to have a remote controlled car it would have seemed to be weird or socially unacceptable. I learned this because whenever I saw girls playing with a toy, it would have been a doll or a princess themed toy and that was socially acceptable. I never really had any thoughts of particular toys that I wanted to play with, but couldn't. I always played with guy themed toys and I was okay with that. 

Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Flies

William Golding

The Lord of the Flies is a very interesting book because it touches basis with many life lessons that should be taught/learned by everyone. William Golding shows the theme of violence within the characters who are children, and must teach themselves their own life lessons. The biggest question is, are people naturally born with violence or are they taught violence as they grow older? 

This book was very interesting to me and made me question the theme towards my life in general. Do I think that everyone is born with violence? The answer is no, I specifically think that children mimic what they see and hear as they grow up. Every major ghetto in the United States promotes violence such as compton, trenton, and chicago. These children growing up around these areas are seeing these types of actions on a day to day basis. Therefore, once they grow older they feel as if they have a need to be a part of it. In the "Lord of the Flies," William Golding cleverly uses children to broadcast these images of how terrible people can be to each other, no matter the circumstances.
