Challenge Check-in #1

The challenge that I will be working on is 4a, It's Bigger Than Hip Hop. How I plan to complete this assignment is by rewatching the movie called "Friday". I chose this topic because the movie contains different varieties of hip hop culture which includes, explicit language, violence, sexual action against women, drug distribution, and arguments.

Counter Argument

Too many explicit lyrics in rap songs can be considered vulgar. Other genres of music also contain explicit lyrics but none compare to the hip hop nation, rap music in particular. Many music artists use explicit language in order to have self expression or self evaluation. The explicit lyrics in music that is made really appeals more to the younger generation. Older generations find explicit music offensive because they have a better understanding because of wisdom. Explicit lyrics could have a negative impact on teenagers because teenagers will probably develop inappropriate habits.

1, Evaluative writing is like the feedback from people to give your writing positivity or negativity.

2. Establishing criteria is important for an evaluative essay because it helps you and your reader understand what youre writing about and it helps the reader build different questions.

3. Rosen refers to an outlet because you use it to relate to other people and you use it to let out feelings, discomfort, and expressions.

Blog Post 2

It all started when I was back in high school, I was a in the summer getting ready to become a senior. I was in contact with different division 1 colleges about pursuing football scholarships to their schools. I narrowed down my options to the University of Florida and the University of Miami. Both schools were hard to choose from because I knew I would be able to accomplish so much at their programs. I had put so much thought in my head about where I wanted to choose to commit to college. Everything was all on me to make the decision of where I wanted to go. It came a day when I was thinking about how well my official UF visit went. I also was thinking about how it’s somewhat far away from home but still in Florida. I could get away and see something different and learn to be more responsible. I ended up calling Coach Travaris Robinson and told him I was ready to commit to be a Florida Gator. He was soo excited and happy for me. He wanted me to get on the phone with coach Will Muschamp so I could hear his reactions towards me being ready to become a Florida Gator. He was pumped and excited that I committed to their program. He also told me that now was the time to start getting in shape to be ready for when I get up there after high school. My mom was shocked because she wasn’t expecting me to make the decision on my own but she was surely happy with tears of joys because we have both been through a lot together my whole life. I wouldn’t have been able to achieve any of this without my one and only mother. My one and only parent and woman of my life.
