Diana Kendall's Framing Class, Vicarious living, and Conspicuous Consumption, was a rather dry read. Although i fond some of the fact and statistics interresssting. To many times in life i believe that we get caught up in the lives of others, wheather it is woundering how they are doing in life or how much money they make or if its as simple as what clothes they may wear that day. Really i know that in my own life that i have enough to worry about. There are many problems that i see with wanting to be like others or trying to emulate them in diffrent ways. it is a struggle in society and deffinatly needs to be addressed. If we can learn to worry about ourselves first we may find a deeper happiness about life.
In Joann Morgans essay i was taken back by some of the thoughts and where some of the blame was placed. I have a lot of thoughts about this essay. The way that womenare portayed in rap music or hip hop is wrong. Also the way that women will let thesleves act or how they allow other men to treat them is wrong in every way. I dont believe that this situation is not limited the hip hop scene. Tue truth is that women are trated and looked at wrongly in this industry.

POSSESSIVE nouns
So to be totally honest i don't think i have a huge problem with using possessive nouns to often. so this is just a quick reminder of what they are and how to use them correctly.
Possessive nouns are used to show possession (owning, or having). They are words that would normally be nouns, but are used as adjectives to modify a noun or pronoun. Possessive nouns tell you who or what the modified noun or pronoun belongs to.
Here are just a couple examples.
The word "dog's" is the possessive noun. It tells you that the noun "collar" belongs to the dog. The dog owns, or possesses the collar.

We enjoyed the children's play...... children + 's

One day at a time!
WOW, I found this essay to be some what depressing but at the same time very informative. The intro is so true, i am just starting my journey in college although a little late i am once again reminded byt this story why i am in school and why i am happy to be in school.
The struggles that that are shown in this experiament are horiffic and yet for some it every day life. it is almost hard to think anbout, i personally have never found myself in the depth of despair which are described in this essay. To go to work and then once your there you constantly get crap not only from you co workers but those that you serving is ridiculous. not to mention the fact that the job you are in is a neccesity aqnd if you decide that you cant or wont deal with it then you may not have a place to live at the end of the months.
I have a couple of questions that came to mind while i was reading. why cant we find a way to help the individuals that are struggling day to day? and the other question is if we found a way to help the struggling, unhappy, and seemingly no future america. would they want or accept our help and then inturn make something of them selves? i belive that life is tough but would we learn as much as we do if was all easy. The thing to do is learn from our problems and mistakes then we dont have to live through them again.
