Revision

Revision is a great thing in writing because you can gurrantee that your original first copy will have tons of mistakes. I always have to revise my writing because I am not perfect so I know there would be mistakes. My drafting process is pretty good now because my papers go through about four sets of eyes before I turn it in as a final copy. It aslo helps tremendously that my instructors comments are very clear and she helps me out individually if I need it.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

This painting portrays two young kids that are kissing and four playing. It Appears they will be having sex later. The rhetorical situation in this is that kids are starting to have sex at a young age, younger than ever and thats the reason for early pregnancies.

NO! Not the T.V.

Unplugging all the Television sets in America will only make society go crazy because todays lifestyle is based on T.V. In contrast, it will make society healthier, better educated, and more independent simply because people would not know how to spend their free time. More kids will begin to be outside which will lower the obesity in America. Also, children will be more focus on their school work because T.V's are not there to distract them. The average person spends 22 hours watching T.V per week. Now, kids have to find another way to spend those 22 hours and they are not going to sleep. They are going to be outside like normal kids or doing homework. Not to mention how much more healthy America would be if there were no T.V's. People do not have to watch mouth watering commercials from McDonalds every other commercial.

Power of Advertisement

Advertisement is a very powerful thing because advertisement is seen everywhere. From catchy billboards on the highway to mouth watering commercials on the television, advertisement is apart of our lives and that is why advertisement is so powerful. Another reason why is simply because people want what they do not have. So if you advertise it on tv, magazines, billboards, etc, then you will convince the people that your product is the one for them.

Why?

Wright State University was my last hope. When you are an athlete and looking for a college, everyone wants to be going to a division 1 and for sports. Why was Wright State my last hope though? Simply because my GPA in high school was too low to go anywhere else. There are several schools I would of chose over Wright state but my GPA could not support me. I also chose Wright State University because I needed to get away from my home and mature, learn how to take care of myself. Now I am hundreds of miles away learning how to be responsible, getting a great education, and playing the sport that I love the  most.

Tupac-Changes

[1]
Come on come on
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is

[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]
Come on come on
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
aww yeah
[Repeat]

I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is

[Bridge]

[Talking:]
We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

[3]
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the facts givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp smack you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
& I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some punk that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh


Tupac Shakur is one of, if not the best lyricist the word has ever seen. The way his words touch you is unexplainable. He is not like the rappers today who most of them talk about pointless topics but he tells a story with his songs. Tupac can inform you on whats going around you with his lyrics. Thats why this song is still loved today.
