contributes to mass extinction on earth what else can motivate a resumption of blogging but an infamous massacre of approximately 300 children women and men on december 29 1890 at wounded knee in dakota territory many have written about this tragic event they cite the blood lust of the 7th calvary the strange awarding of medals of honor to men who hunted down women and children for hours the fake news of a forthcoming outbreak of armed lakota men and the ghost dance too bad james mooney fouled up his efforts to interview the lakota who knew the most about what transpired as his published interviews provide little insight into what occurred at wounded knee and the surrounding area and he knew he d failed because of an effort to communicate that went wrong at the start biography but he did his best with what information he could gather the irishman did take his work very seriously take note that only at wounded knee was there ever any violence regarding the ghost dance even though it had spread through several states and reservations hence the question remains why did it all come down to racism why doesn t that seem like the beginning and end of it all why issue rations for 370

issues music nonieqa poverty ramos review sex sexual inequality sexual objectification teen the disturbed girl s dictionary women writing yesterday was international women s day so what could be more appropriate than advocating reading than a book which lays out the ongoing conditions under which many girls and women do not thrive in our world while fighting to survive despite the odds against them via chapters presented as entries of significant words and phrases in the disturbed girl s dictionary writer nonieqa ramos takes you directly into the inner world of macy cashmere named for the store and the fine wool used in luxury clothing items who puts the survival skills of the likes of laura croft tomb raider to shame suffice it to say that macy has truly mad survival skills and an equally mad will to thrive no matter what the world throws literally at her now there s one thing that s crucial for you the reader to keep in mind macy s world is our world your s and mine no matter what your level of reality denial may be based on the specific context in which you live this is the truth savage inequalities is not only the title of jonathan kozol s indictment of educational inequity in america which still exists savage inequalities is one way of describing the nature of the vastly differing statuses between females and males unequal on multiple levels and viciously savage from the home front to the war fronts macy s dictionary presents an indictment not of the educational system which far too often serves as an overburdened safety net for children but of american culture which treats girls and women as sexual objects for exploitation and male gratification if you don t agree then quite possibly you re living in a vacuum without a cleaner i m not going to argue the point as the media lays it all out there every day with ongoing reality checks from real life no need for reality television shows which are pure fantasy yet often reflect this sad state of affairs now that that fundamental piece of ugly truth has been laid out no sexual allusion intended let s let macy take the lead this is a first person narrative which speaks to readers without pulling any punches actually it throws very hard punches consider your children very lucky and very privileged if they have a home stable family life enough food to eat at home access to a quality education and your undivided attention whenever they need it macy cashmere has none of these essentials macy is a designated problem child at school where she speaks her mind very freely and is willing to pay the consequences for doing so she knows the in school behavior drills so well that at times she pushes the office buzzer herself after crossing lines if she didn t have such a strong voice and immense willpower who would pay any attention school is not perfect but it does throw life lines to macy via the likes of miss black who sees and hears far more of macy than she lets on and does what she can to feed and support macy mentally emotionally and physically oh the power of music never underestimate it jazz pulls macy s trigger in all the right ways upon her first hearing of john coltrane a love supreme in miss black s class macy s home world might be described as a mix of david simon s homicide a year on the killing streets of baltimore and dick wolf s law order s svu yes it s full of sex crimes and violence if you think i m pushing this too far well simon s book and wolf s series kept coming to mind while i followed macy through her world so that s that the power of references for creating connections the difference is that it s all seen and told from the viewpoint of a young teenage girl not from the perspective of adults adult perspectives trickle in via macy s observations but they do not drive this narrative in her very personalized dictionary format the chapter titled i have a dream has nothing to do with martin luther king s speech except perhaps as its utter antithesis yet macy s world is one created by adults and not just her parents and a system devised by adults and perpetuated by adults and fought by other adults macy is a girl who knows how to effectively put to use whatever comes to hand to deal with important problems like a visit from cps and the entrapment of her best friend by an oh so caring uncle an all purpose cleanser a slave s machete a bag of cocaine make no mistake nothing holds macy back when she sets out to protect those she loves her brother zane her friend george her best friend alma for whom being gifted talented is not enough to ensure escape from poverty not by a long shot as if violence drugs and wrecked home life aren t enough challenges for the girls macy represents there s the entire sex package to contend with what matters to the males of our species breasts bodies and booty calls those are what females are for bottom line that s it brains never come into the picture heart never comes into the picture it s all a sex end game never ending at least that s what macy observes from her mother s efforts to survive and the prostitutes like velvet working the streets yes macy has issues with her mother issues so big they re ethically trying ironically velvet does more looking out for macy than her mother seems capable of on a good day with or without her guests who provide the necessities of life when macy s father goes to prison perhaps it s because one good turn deserves another thinking or maybe it s just plain decency and fair play in velvet s books just because you re stuck in the sex for hire business in order to eat doesn t make you a bad person far from it but who would velvet be with other options what would macy s mother do with positive options think about that who would you be with no positive options in your life why do we do the things we do and don t macy s dictionary entry why noun reasons 1 and 2 why do i hate because it s so much easier than love because hate is reality love is a fantasy why do i write le me break it down teacher man taught us about something called haves and have nots via the words that really matter and their meanings for this very disturbed girl nonieqa ramos deftly gives macy cashmere not just a voice but a roar impossible to ignore ramos does this so effectively that her writing makes it look easy the sign of real greatness in every art and skill it s not difficult to read the writing and words on the pages but it gets downright nerve racking to take in the content the words portray macy cashmere s dictionary is disturbing it s supposed to be it s a book meant to shake you up and rattle your brain pan macy cashmere is here to wake people up not lull them into sleep at bedtime how would you go about saving your best friend from the worst daily grind you can imagine what are machetes for i don t think that qualifies as a spoiler hmm naw just a hook for macy s line of action in this microcosm of the world in which we live have you asked your teenage girl what s going in her life lately if not you need to get on that right now because the issues faced by macy cashmere are everywhere if you don t know what those issues are then you need to read the disturbed girl s dictionary asap because it s only a matter of degrees 4 comments essay nina simone april 20 2017 at 5 49 pm uncategorized great essay

anywhere in sight in any yard it was our mexican american neighbor edgar who lives on the other side of the block who came to the front door and told me about the fire along the fence separating our yards he wanted to know if he could use the hose to put out the fire by the fence together we went to work with shovels and hoses his wife called the electric company to alert them to the danger to the electric box on the ground there were english as a second language language and location issues a map would have been very useful for the person answering the electric company phone as in for seeing that the addresses on one side a block are on a different street than those on the other side of a block along another street so much for google maps if you re working for the power and light company we sorted that communication problem out via my resorting to what is commonly known as bitch mode in very loud english the power and light person kept repeating call 911 i asked her to call
