...Paper 2 A very influencing part of the average American lifestyle is the music they are readily listening to on a daily bases. The metaphors in the music can easily become a reference for how they create their ideals. New York Times posted that the average teenager listens to over 2.5 hours of music daily. Riddled with ideas disguised as metaphors it can be understood how some negative concepts and ideals can become a part of anyone listening daily thinking habits. Music’s influence continues to grow readily with the ability to listen to the songs through Mp3 players and personal music systems such as radios and stereos, but the spread of music isn’t the problem it is the words being said. A piece from a New York times Article “Under the Influence of Music” states, “Studies have long shown that media messages have a pronounced impact on childhood risk behaviors. Exposure to images of smoking in movies influences a child’s risk for picking up the habit. Alcohol use in movies and promotions is also linked to actual alcohol use.” “The study authors noted that music represents a pervasive source of exposure to positive images of substance use. The average adolescent is exposed to approximately 84 references to explicit substance use per day and 591 references per week, or 30,732 references per year. The average adolescent listening only to pop would be exposed to 5 references per day, whereas the average adolescent who listens just to rap would be exposed to 251 references...

...Rupesh Gudipudi Mrs. Burns Honors English II 10 December 2013 Women Education in Pakistan The concept of education makes everybody want to feel denunciation for it. Many people would say that it seems like something that shouldn’t be mandatory and the world would be a better place without it. They would also say that school is very tedious and pointless. However, education is valued as a necessity in Pakistan. It is predominantly appreciated by females. Pakistanis believe that education has the potential to give a typical human being the intellect on how to overcome obstacles in life. Unfortunately, this cannot happen; it mainly can’t happen to females. Lack of education for women, primarily caused by social obligations and social beliefs, is having a global importance by making other countries seem more educated. Pakistan is eminent primarily for its history and governing system. It is a country located in Asia and is one of the fewest countries in the world that give more preference to males. They do this because it is believed that they are essential to the country. They do physical work, which helps build the foundation for a successful country. Males are also involved a lot in the military, which is what Pakistan gives a lot of preference to (“Women’s Education in Pakistan”). Pakistan has a noteworthy history. It was once a part of India. When the countries achieved independence in 1947, Pakistan split off from India due to religious conflict (“Pakistan”). Ever...

...I would free write a rough draft and turn it in as a final draft. I would also write last minute instead of using the time to create a well-thought essay. I focused more on passing a class rather than boosting my writing skills. Now that I am in college, I take writing seriously. Throughout the years, my writing process has drastically changed. As a writer, I will continue to advance my writing skills. Prewriting is significant when preparing for an essay, although this step is most of the time ignored. The process of writing is just as important as the writing itself. Prewriting is great for writers to have an organized essay. Sectioning the writing process can make writing less stressful and gives the writer more time to go back and improve their paper. My writing process consists of brainstorming, outlining, rough drafting, and peer revisions....
