    Torrence Hatch (Lil Boosie) was born November 14, 1982 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and was born and raised in W. Garfield St, on the south side of Baton Rouge, a neighborhood well known for drugs and violence. Boosie faced many troubles inside and outside for school as he was growing up.

He then started to get very serious about basketball, he played in order to stay off of the streets, he was expected to go to college level, but then got expelled for possession of illegal drugs.

  • Fight Club - Conformity vs Rebellion

    1342 Words  | 3 Pages

    ...rkingman, as Tyler is the man everyone wants to be. Fight Club shows a man that everyone wants to be but can’t because of laws and in most cases common courtesy. The movie states that there is basically a Tyler in all of us, wanting and waiting to come out. None of us will let him out though because we don’t have the courage, or maybe stupidity to do it, although Jack does. For a while in the movie Jack did get everything he wanted. He had no care in the world and couldn’t have felt better about himself as a whole. Not until later does the final message come in, without any control there is chaos. When Tyler ran rampant and did what he pleased things began to get out of hand. For instance his final act of defiance towards society was the blowing up of credit card companies in order to erase the debt record so that everyone’s debt would go back to zero. This is only to create total chaos and embody Tyler’s world without rules. Tyler sums up the movie in his own terms, “You are not your job. You are not how much you have in the bank. You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your khakis. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. The things you own end up owning you.”

    Although each have had numerous faux pas in their careers making the ability to run campaigns devoid of controversy nearly unattainable, the 2016 Presidential election with its two illustrious candidates, Vince McMahon and Ted Turner, each with a wealth of experience in leadership and business, should provide voters with the ability to carefully research each candidate. McMahon and Turner both have controversy in their pasts, and have overcome much adversity rather unscathed throughout their careers and both candidates have tremendous support through their fan base linked to their respective wrestling companies.

  • Analysis Of Judd Apatow

    1272 Words  | 3 Pages

    Judd Apatow (‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’, ‘Knocked Up’) is known for his contained and loveable comedies, but this marks the first time he’s directed a film that he didn’t write or co-write himself. He co-wrote ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ with his leading man Steve Carell, but he’s never not taken part in the screenplay of one of his films, at least not until this film. I personally walked into this film with a lot of hesitation, I’m not well-versed in Amy Schumer’s particular brand of humor thus I’m not sure how much I can trust her, but the trailers worked for me and Judd Apatow has never made a bad film in my eyes, and this is definitely not a slipup.

  • Aziz Ansari's Accomplishments

    889 Words  | 2 Pages

    Last night as I lay in bed thinking about my English final, I decided, as I often do, to procrastinate falling asleep by watching Netflix. This may not seem noteworthy to this essay, and under other circumstances it certainly would not be, but last night I happened to watch an episode of Aziz Ansari’s original Netflix show Master of None. The show is about a first generation, 30-something year old Indian-American man named Dev, played by Aziz Ansari, who experiences the daily trials and tribulations of being an Indian man in modern day New York. Luckily for me, it just so happens to be that the episode I watched last night directly correlates to the topic and poem that I am writing about right now. In the episode, titled Religion, Dev is coerced by his devout, first generation Muslim-Indian parents to not eat pork in front of his visiting aunt and uncle. Dev begrudgingly agrees, but, being a comedy show, this agreement

  • Heroes Are People Who Overcome Antagonism in a Mature Way, as in "Twisted" by Laurie Halse Anderson

    915 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this book, Tyler is a huge hero in my eyes. He finally stood up to his dad for him, his mom, and his sister. He put himself aside and told him to treat everyone better. That they did not deserve to be treated the way he treated them. The way Tyler stood up for him was amazing and mature. You think that he didn’t have to smash things up but that is the only way he could get threw to his dad. Tyler’s dad did not care about anyone else but himself and how everyone made him look to the public. So sitting him down at the table and having a “family meeting” would not have worked. I just wish I could have been like Tyler to my dad when I need to be strong like him. Tyler is an inspiration to anyone who reads this book and who is going threw something similar like Tyler did.
