Title: Birth Control Apps Find A Big Market in 'Contraception Deserts' By: Lesley McClurg and Ashley Lopez for NPR      The NPR article is about an online birth control app called, NURX, that allows women to order their birth control, without consulting with their doctors. Rachel Raph is a customer of the company and explained to us how the process works. The first step would be to answer a questionnaire. According to a nurse practitioner of NURX, the patient would discuss their medical history online to the practitioner. After discussing and answering the questions, a clinician would look at the results, and "makes a suggestion about what type of hormonal contraception might be best for that individual." Then the pill would be delivered to them free of charge if they have an health insurance or would have to pay fifteen dollars for the month supply. Many people who live in small towns are very much grateful for NURX or birth control apps in general. Claire H...

Beach Day The waves pushed harder and harder against the wind. The two seagulls were pinned, to each as they flew. The sand blew across the deserted beach. I laid on the sand and ate the sweet and sour peach. I could smell the salty yet fresh ocean, I began to smile as the emotions In me were filled with happiness. Everything about it made me happy, Everything about it made me relaxed. For the beach was the best thing to have. End Rhyme, Anaphora, consonance, assonance, and alliteration

     The Purple Hibiscus is a great book so far. What I find interesting in this book, is the vivid details used to portray a scene in the book. For example, on page thirty-three, it says "We cleaned up the trickle of blood, which trailed away as if someone had carried a leaking jar of red watercolor all the way downstairs. Jaja scrubbed while I wiped." The vivid details used in this scene portrays when Kambili and Jaja had to clean mama's blood when she got another miscarriage. The details in the scene show how emotionless the brother and sister are since they are used to cleaning up the mother's blood after the father had beaten her up.      Another scene that has great details as well as on page forty is "Who came first?" Papa asked, finally. "Chinwe Jideze. "Jideze? The girl who came second last term?" "Yes," I said. My stomach was making sounds, hollow rumbling sounds that seemed too loud, that would not stop even when I sucked...

Tanya- Tree Poem Ellie S.  Oh rain, why did you go?

The other team had already won. I was standing getting ready to run, I was staring at the finish line, hundred meters ahead, I felt the warm sun rays stinging on the back of my shoulder, I felt the wind as the breeze blew, I could hear the crowd holler. I could hear my team chant. I heard the starter say "on your marks," And, that's when I knew I needed to start, And, run as fast as I can. End Rhyme, Alliteration, and consonance

     The song that I will be analyzing is "Umbrella" by Rihanna and Jay-Z. In the song there are techniques that are used, to make the song purposeful. At the beginning of the song there was few of consonance's used, such as in lines thirteen where it goes-"In anticipation for precipitation." The repetition of "action" makes this a consonance. Also, in the beginning, assonance's were used, such as in lines seven where is goes- "Coming down with the Dow Jones." The repetition of "ow" makes this an assonance's. Another technique used was onomatopoeia, an example is in lines one through four where it goes"uh huh" imitates the sound. Hyperbole was even used in the poem, such as in lines thirty-eight, where it goes "you're part of my entity, here for infinity." This phrase uses the exaggeration of being alive for forever. Throughout the poem, lots of rhyme was used such as end rhyme and even a rhyme scheme...
