Bromance: The Right Romance


You and your bro just went to an incredible football game. After the game, you and your bro talk about how fun football game was. Later into conversation, you and your bro talk about how life is going and you share philosophical feelings to each other, with a light heart, and you talk about your goals and all you and your bro are doing is supporting each other.This is the kind of platonic relation or in more casual terms a bromance. A bromance is a relationship with no romantic aspects but still share a deep bond. The idea of having someone always by your side. Regardless of what you do, think, or have done. Finding your true bro is hard, but life changing when reached. The effect of having a bro can improve your mood, increase possibilities, and stops you from ever being alone.

                  During an abolitionist meeting in 1841, Fredrick Douglas is attending, and he knew attendance would be low. As Douglas walked in, however, a white man, he had never seen before, holds the door open for Douglas. Douglas was flattered and surprised to see a white man have such a kind attitude. Once the meeting started, Garrison began the conversation with words that made Douglas feel heard. They carry the meeting with their similar strong opinions and did not understand. They didn’t understand how they lived without each other. When describing how garrison felt about Douglas “not only liked, but he loved it better.” Him and his bro Douglas understood each other on a deeper level. From that day on, Douglas and Garrison were like the Batman and Robin of abolition— With twice the passion and a lot more speeches, but without the capes.

The support between bros like Douglas and Garrison is something to be patient for because it’s one of the best ships you could ever sail on.

    I love the repetion of "your bro" and how you made it connect to current media/vocabulary

Collegeboard is the TJ Eckleburg to today’s high school students. TJ Eckleburg is the mystery man that the people in the Valley of Ashes look up to (literally), similar to high school students looking up to Collegeboard. Although TJ Eckleburg is an oculist, he has eternal blindness to the poor. This is similar to how Collegeboard has eternal blindness to students' complaints about the application process and the skyrocketing prices. Students try to become something in life and they need the help of Collegeboard. However, nothing has been done over the years to support these needy students—the same way the poor in the Valley of Ashes will never get their eyes checked. Regardless of one’s financial status, it’s hard to get the help needed. Especially in the confusing winds of Collegeboard’s website, similar to the winds of the Valley of Ashes. No matter how many SATs high school students take or the begging of the people from the Valley of Ashes, the big guys will not care. But of co...

Target’s Target

Target has a huge support system. Why? Because Target is a huge support system. When taking a brief stroll in a Target store, you are faced with it all. Advertisements with disabled people, sections with pride clothing, and they include all races. Companies can be inclusive for different reasons. Some choose to be inclusive because they have genuine support, and others are inclusive for popularity. In my opinion, Target wholeheartedly cares about their customers. Target includes every group of people possible, so even if this includes outcast groups, they are still making a difference by giving them representation. This representation makes the people who are uncommonly advertised feel seen. Even when they lose sales, they still have not stopped being inclusive towards certain groups, which shows their genuine support. Stores like Target are including these groups to normalize their existence in the public eye. This shows that they are not just doing it. To get more customers they’...

Who Is That.

The satirical article “Justin Bieber Forgets his Wife's Name” uses exaggeration, irony, and word choice to highlight how idolized celebrities, who are seen as role models, do not experience deep, meaningful love typically seen online. The writer begins the story creating a sense of urgency, like a life or death situation, but is quickly dulled down with Bieber’s lack of intense fear. To treat the situation in a minimalistic manner, he turns to the reporters as his peers when he realizes the slight significance of forgetting his wife's name. Bieber avoids the accountability and superficiality of his relationship, as he repeats “babe” and hopes the name comes to mind eventually. However, this plan backfires when he realizes she is starting to “catch on”, adding comedic tension because the situation is less humorous, but his obliviousness is starting to backfire and could lead to consequences. The surprises did not end there; even after six years' worth of devotion to this wom...
