Pandora's Box (Mythoglogy & Legends)

       
            Pandora's Box is an all time  famous Greek Myth.  According to the Myth Pandora was, the first woman on Earth. She was created by Gods; each one of them gave her a gift, thus, her name in Greek means “the one who bears all gifts”. By reading the  first  two lines of the story you can make a comparison between the Greeks religion and other religions. Which believes that Eve was the first woman on earth. Pandora was created as a punishment to the mankind; Zeus wanted to punish people because Prometheus stole the fire to give it to them. Her gifts were beautifully evil, according to Hesiod. Hephaestus created her from clay, shaping her perfectly, Aphrodite gave her femininity and Athena taught her crafts. Hermes was ordered by Zeus to teach her to be deceitful, stubborn and curious. Pandora's Box is an interesting Myth.

" Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes ( Storytelling and Poetry )

        Mother to son

             By: LangstonHughes

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now—
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

Soca Music ( Pop Culture)

Soca music is well known and popular in the West Indian cultures. I love soca music its fun to dance to and its soothing. The word "soca" is derived from the first two letters of "soul" and "calypso" respectively. As far as soca music history is concerned there is a big misconception that soca music was created by the blending of calypso and soul music. People have been misled into this belief because of the fact that Lord Shorty called soca "soul calypso".

Budget Cuts in Schools it's Not Fair(Education)

                We are in a  recession  now and numerous amounts  of budget cuts were made. Schools might be one of those cuts. It would be unfair and unjust to do so to the students and teachers.Teachers are struggling enough with teaching with such little supplies. Students also are struggling with the lack of funding to the schools; students can't get good meals or good books. The budget is taking an average of 6% , with some schools taking cuts as big as 13%.
