Left of Cool

normal friends watch the cool kids, with their nice clothes and fancy backpacks, roll down the block in a new BMW. This scene seems to happen so often, and the result always appears to be the same: Plain Jain and her normal friends are envious, and the cool kids roll along without a care in the world. Then again, if you observe this scene more carefully, there is more content than most people would suspect. It is possible that the roles are entirely reversed. The “cool” kids may be Plain Jain and

First of all, “On Why Jazz Isn’t Cool Anymore” by Nicholas Payton, seemed like a rant. Payton just kept listing on and on, talking down on Jazz music as a whole, and repeating himself along the way. I also believe he contradicted himself a lot. He said “There maybe cool individuals who say they play Jazz, but ain’t shit cool about Jazz as a whole.”, but by putting “as a whole” he also counts the individuals who play it.

Therefore, if a solid is first dissolved in an amount of hot solvent that does not dissolve it when cold, crystals should form when the hot solution is allowed to cool. The second step is using hot vacuum filtration, which removes the insoluble impurities from the hot mixture. The acetanilide given to us had two impurities, one soluble and one insoluble in the hot water. The insoluble impurity can be removed after

The sub-title of the poem “We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks, which is, “The Pool Players. Seven at the Golden Shovel”, tells the reader what the poem is about. However, poems are more than just written words and titles, they are born out of intense feelings such as love, sadness, anger, fear, frustration, etcetera, and how the author comprehends those feelings (S.A. Moore and D.W. Moore, 1990). Therefore, the poem, “We Real Cool” is about more than just pool players. For instance, when the author

readily available to perform this recrystallization. One of the possible contaminants could be potassium bromide formed from the bromine and potassium ions left over in solution after the dehydrobromination reaction. If this contaminant was incorporated into the diphenylacetylene crude crystals and was not removed with the ice and water used to cool down the reaction media, it could be removed with the small amount of water in the recrystallization solvent since KBr is soluble in water and not very soluble

Children Who Were Rough," by Stephen Spender, and another poem "We Real Cool," by Gwendolyn Brooks share many similarities and differences. These three pieces of literature talk about racism and rough children. "Those Who Don't" is about racism and how people think about others without getting to know them. "My Parents Kept Me from Children Who Were Rough" explains how a good child wants to be like other children who are bad. "We Real Cool" talks about pool players who are bad. These pieces of literature

We Real Cool, by Gwendolyn Brooks speaks through the voice of a young clique who believes it is “real cool.” Using slang and simple language to depict the teenage voice in first person, Brooks’s narrators explain that they left school to stay out together late at night, hanging around pool halls, drinking, causing trouble, and meeting girls.

After we left the town part of New Salem we went to the small museum, and when we were done with that we decided that we would eat lunch even though it was about an hour till noon. It felt good to eat since I didn't bring any snacks, when everyone had eaten we got back on the bus and went to our next stop, the abe Lincoln memorial. The Lincoln memorial was a pretty quick stop.
