In the article “ The Sociology of Leopard Man “ by Logan Feys is about how the author Logan feels about “ how society tends to discourage people from expressing their unique ideas and behaving in ways that are different from their peers “. I agree with the author .

Logan Feys argument in this article is that he doesn't like people who  try to get attention. He said “ Normally , i find myself unimpressed with individuals who radically change their appearance through extreme tattooing . piercings , hair mutilation , etc. “  It is clear that he doesn't like people who try to do something crazy to get society's attention; therefore, he says “ he is in no position to judge his particular choice “.

To prove the point of Logans’ argument would be when he said “ society looks down upon freakish and extraordinary individuals alike and views them  with suspicion “. He also said “ ordinary people fear of what they don't understand “. Nevertheless , the evidence strongly points that everyone is conformity with one another .

Lastly ,  I agree with the author because I don't think that people should try to be like others . People should also not change for society to like them. Logan said “ To be human is to be an individual human , with individual tastes , talents , values, and dreams that are distinct from those of others” . I believe that everyone has that something that not everyone does and thats what makes them unique . And i believe this because everybody is different which means something is different about each and one of us.

In conclusion, I agree with what what Fey is arguing about. I agree that people should just be themselves and not try to be others . And also that people shouldn't do crazy things to get society's attention.

                                  Five Ways You can Do Your Makeup Better

1. Foundation and Powder First thing first , For the face you need to get a good foundation and a good powder  . The foundation has to be your skin color , don't get one that's too orangey. Also don't get one that's too dark or too light because it will definitely look weird. If you have acne you can wear concealer ,concealer helps cover any type of pimples or spots (“18 MAC to School Makeup Tips”).
2. Spread your foundation good and with care. After you're done spreading your foundation wait a little while for it to settle , then apply your powder cover up with a brush. You can add some bronzer or blush to frame your face or add texture (“18 MAC to School Makeup Tips”).
3. Eyes Now for the eyes , you can add eyeliner with eye shadow or you might want it simple and just have mascara on . If you would like to make your eyes appear bigger you can put white eyeliner on your water line and put mascara also on the bottom eyelashes. When you put  on mascara try not to make it clumpy. Only do a few cotes , don't do a lot because your eyelashes will get stuck together (“ Eye Makeup”).
4. Eyebrows For the girls who do their eyebrows , you need to get a good eye shadow / brow liner that matches your hair on you your eyebrows . If you're doing it with eye shadow make sure you get a good angled brush . And if you are doing it with a brow liner then its best if you find a good shape that you like for your eyebrows to be or look . Also if you’re just going to fill them in use a brush and after your done making the shape , put concealer under and over the eyebrow so it can look a bit natural (“ Eye Makeup”).
5. Final Touch Lastly, for your final touch you can add lipstick or lip gloss . I prefer personally lipstick ,I love lipsticks  . And you can also spray your face with “ Makeup Forever Stay On Spray “ and what that does is makes your makeup stay all day .

                           My favorite Mistake

 It all started a summer ago when it was on a sunday , my parents wanted to go to walmart. They wanted to go to walmart to go buy some school supplies for my little sister. My parents asked my sister and I  if we  wanted to go , we said yes because we were really bored. So then i got ready  I always take my purse to stores so  I would feel awkward if i didn't take it , i had a few money . Me and my sister didn't want to  be with my parents because they were talking to someone that they haven't seen in a long time. My sister went to go see the  fishes with my little sister , and  I went to the make-up section. And that is when I saw this really nice foundation . I notice that i didn't have as much money in my purse, so i took the tag off of the foundation and  was about to put it in my purse. It was also my first time stealing . As soon as I was putting it in my purse my sister comes and see’s me , at that point I didn't know what to do . She immediately comes up to me and tells me to put it back or else  she was going to  tell my dad. So  I put it back , and I learned my lesson to never steal .

                    Antigone Compare & Contrast

       

 

In the  tragic play of Antigone written by Sophocles is about two characters that don't get along which are Antigone and Creon , Antigone a young girl who would do anything for her brother to be buried properly even if it means to break king Creon's law. Dealing with there similarities and differences it will not lead to good things.

 

There are differences between Antigone and Creon. Antigone is loyal to her family Antigone said "I will burry the brother I love" (2.69).She is also loyal to the gods , she told Creon that  " he has no power against the laws of the gods " (2. ). Creon is Loyal to the state. He said "as long as im the king no traitor is gong to be honored with the loyal man "(2.50). Creon is not loyal to his family. He was telling Choragos " Oedipus , Eteocles and Ploynieces have killed each other , and as I ,  next in blood , have succeeded to full power of the throne "(2.15)

 

Antigone and Creon share a similarities. Antigone is full of pride and says "Creon is not strong enough to stand in my way "(1.35) what Antigone is trying to say is that no one is going to stand in her way , not even the strongest person. Creon also has some pride for himself and said " if we must loose lets loose to a man , at least ! Is a woman stronger then we ?"(2.36). What he is trying to say is that he prefers to loose to a man than a woman , also he is trying to is that no woman can stand up to a men because they are "men".

 

In conclusion , its both of Antigone's and Creon's fault for the tragic outcome in this play. Its Antigone's fault because she disobeyed the kings' law. Also because she could have talked it out with Creon , and made an agreement. But overall its mostly Creon's fault because if one brother was buried with honors why couldn't the other one be too. And nothing would  be happening to Antigone and Haimon if Creon would have been fair and loyal to both deaths.
