#argumentative essay
Text
Okay guys so for my argumentative essay, I decided to do a very controversial topic.
Wicked is better than Hamilton.
My teacher said: “dang Kiara.”
Like even she knows.
The two evidences out of 3 I have are:
The cast being popular actors/actresses
Amount of awards.
I would do shows but it wouldn’t really be fair because wicked is older than Hamilton.
Any ideas??
Tags so people see this: @ethereal-bumble-bee @lemonlord14 @eponine-thenadier and literally all my followers and friends

A Little Life rant
There’s a lot of hate around this book, but it’s one of my most beloved so of course, I have to write my biased opinions about it.
First off, Jude’s cutting is not for “gore” or “shock factor”, it is a symptom of and a control mechanism for the abuse he endured most of his early years. The graphic deceptions of abuse and physical suffering he went through are rare in mainstream literary fiction, so obviously many people are unaware that this book is not written as “torture porn” as it is many peoples realities. Not everyone’s life is so easy. The book is called A Little Life, so the reason Jude’s suffering is so extensively documented is because it is the foundation of his character. He was not raised with knowing how to reach out for help, he never had anyone to love him at a young age, so he’s learned to suffer alone. Throughout the book it’s said spiritual salvation of this sort does not exist because of what is happening/ happened to Jude. This is not meant to be, as many have called it, “horror writing” at all. Some people are just scared or unaware of what could be anyone’s real life. The reason literature is written is to inform others what they may not understand.
This has been my take of the “torture porn” accusations about A Little Life. I would love to hear yours.

The Role and Influence of Tradition in Contemporary Fashion and Clothing Design in Ireland: Simone Rocha X H&M Collection
Introduction
This essay will examine the role and influence of tradition in contemporary fashion and clothing design in Ireland, specifically focusing on Irish fashion designer Simone Rocha and pieces from her collaboration collection with H&M where her use of Irish traditional fashion is very obvious. Irish traditional craft and clothing seems to become more and more popular again, especially with high end designers. And a lot of Irish designers take pride in their Irish heritage by using elements in their designs and collections. Simone Rocha uses her Irish heritage as one of her biggest inspirations for her collections, she does not do many interviews but she does not have to, the clothes and inspiration speak for themselves. This essay will examine all the pieces of the Simone Rocha x H&M designer collaboration collection where there is a clear inspiration of Irish traditional clothing or craft.
Simone Rocha is an Irish designer born in Dublin with a Chinese father who is also a famous fashion designer and an Irish mother who was his manager. She has shown her collections at London Fashion Week multiple times. Rocha’s collections are described with inspirations from “history and heritage. Details and fabrications. Family and community. The many facets of womanhood.” (Simone Rocha and H&M in a unique designer collaboration, Hm.com, 2022) Her work is very personal she says in one of her rare interviews and she uses personal experiences of her life through the collections. Her collections are never fully new as she draws on similar cultural and personal aspects but still they are fresh every time. She is known for researching her inspirations thoroughly and her use of her own cultural backgrounds, as well as using pearls and a white, black and red colour scheme. She states that she uses this colour scheme because “I’ve always loved exploring the light and dark together” (Hyland, ELLE.com, 2022) she says. The red pops with these colours because the drama of red compels her; “It symbolizes love, but also blood and pain.” (Hyland, ELLE.com, 2022) She states. And aims to create friction with the red combined with other colours. Her collections are always feminine with a focus on handcraft. She has collaborated with H&M for one of their designer collaboration collections in 2021, and is the first Irish designer to do so, in fact making history by being “the first ever Irish designer selected to join a roll call of catwalk's biggest international brands.” (Power, independent.ie, 2021) The collection is made up of women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, but this essay will be focusing on pieces in the women’s collection. It clearly has very strong links with her Irish heritage which she also says in an interview about the collection with H&M where they mention she is “internationally renowned for her intricate and meticulously-researched collections, always with a nod to her own heritage: Ireland and Hong Kong.” (Simone Rocha and H&M in a unique designer collaboration, Hm.com, 2022) Especially the jumpers, trench coats, shoes, dresses and hair accessories seem to have a clear influence of traditional Irish clothing, which will be discussed in the coming paragraphs. It is very interesting to see such a famous contemporary designer do so much research and use so many traditional Irish fashion, probably even without a lot of people knowing about what they are wearing. Even the models used for the editorial photographs done for the collection seen to have a meaning behind them. Daisy Edgar-Jones, the actress who had just portrayed one of the main characters in the hit TV show Normal People, which is about the life of Irish teenagers, based on a book by Sally Rooney, a young Irish writer. When the collection came out Normal People had just come out and not only put Ireland on the map, but in the spotlight. Besides being a very smart move marketing wise, with Edgar-Jones being very popular, but also to make a point about the connection with Ireland in her collection. Clearly for Simone Rocha, there is a thought behind every detail of her collections.
Aran /  Báinín Jumper 
Firstly, the Woolen jumper that is in the Simone Rocha x H&M collection. (pictured below on the left) Owning this jumper meant being able to have a closer look at it to examine the kinds of stitching used in it. The jumper clearly contains Aran stitching with a single cable on the front, with on both sides’ double cables and a tree of life knit besides those. Then on the undersides of the arms and the sides of the jumper there is a little ladder of life stitch. Assuming that Rocha knows about the meaning, which is likely as her collections are very well researched and everything means something besides being based on Irish technique and folklore; “Rocha has put both sides of her heritage into her work/ showing collections inspired by traditional Irish techniques like Carrickmacross lace and Aran knits.” (Hyland, 2022) These stitches might mean something to her personally, as she mentioned that her collections are very personal but does not go into real depth about this. For example, the cable knit means luck, the tree of life stitch means family and the ladder of life stitch means health in Aran knitting. Looking at the stitches zoomed in on the pictures, these are exactly the same as the stitches on the jumper. Besides the crème white colour, the pattern also looks very similar to what would have been on Báinín jumpers, as seen on the pictures of the Clancy Brothers in the 60’s next to the Simone Rocha jumper, the front looks done in exactly the same way with the large panel in the middle of the jumper, though it is hard to see if the kind of stitch is exactly the same, the design definitely is.

Trench Coat / Kinsale Cloak
The second interesting piece in the Simone Rocha x H&M collection is the trench coat. Unlike a normal trench coat, it is shapeless and has not belt around it. The collar with pearls and the sleeves with some gathered together kind of ruffling are the vocal points of this piece that make it look almost eccentric. It is made out of trench coat fabric in black, unlike most trench coats that would be beige, which is an interesting choice. Almost all of these characteristics match up with the characteristics of the Kinsale cloak. (pictured beneath on the right) though the Simone Rocha version does not have a hood and is shorter, it is shapeless like the cloak and has the particular kind of ruffling which would be used on the back and hood of the cloak, seen in the last picture, it is clear that the same exact technique is used. The Kinsale cloak was made of wool, but in the last picture it almost looks as if it could be made of the same trench coat fabric. This is likely because of the technique of ‘napping’ the wool that was used to make the wool kind of protected from water. This napping is done by brushing the wool, kind of like felting. It was used by Irish fighters to stay warm and dry and to be able to be outside in wet weather. It surely was a conscious choice of Rocha to remake this into a trench coat, which is known to be a coat worn in the rain of a fabric that is watertight, similar to the use of the Kinsale cloak. Rocha put her own modern twist on it by making it shorter, adding embellishments and making it a trench coat. First red was a popular colour for cloaks but Kinsale cloaks would also often be a darker colour like blue, grey or black after the red was associated with the English soldiers during the 1798 rebellion, and red dye being more expensive. which is why it is interesting that Rocha chose black for this design, because her colour scheme used for a lot of the collections also contains red. She could have made the trench coat red, but chose not to. Perhaps because black is more wearable for a trench coat nowadays, or perhaps because she wants to make a statement. Rocha never talks about politics in her interviews so this is only speculation, but since she makes a great effort to research the inspirations for her collections in depth, it is not bold to assume that she is aware of this fact.

Hair Accessories
As a part of the Simone Rocha x H&M collection, Rocha also designed hair accessories like hair bow clip-ins and headbands. Though these seem quite regular, there is still a connection to traditional Irish fashion, though maybe not as obvious or well-known. The first pieces chosen for this essay are the red hairbows, which were also available in a black colourway. They are made of a silk like fabric and the big bow has ‘Simone Rocha’ on the end of the ribbon, in black on the red ones and in red on the black ones. The smaller bows on top almost look like ribbons, which would have been a very usual thing for girls to wear in their hair in Ireland. Interestingly, as a part of this collaboration collection, Rocha also had a children’s line where these smaller hair bows were also sold for girls. The bigger bow is more extravagant, and looks a lot like what the woman is wearing on the picture on the right. These bigger bows also look like bows that could be worn in the hair and wigs of girls during Irish dancing competitions. The second piece is the hairband. (pictured below on the left) It is made in a thick black velvet material and has white pearls all over it as embellishment, which matches the other pieces. This black and white colour way and extravagant embellishment looks a lot like the hairbands used in the hair of girls who do Irish dancing competitions, usually to hide the wig line. In these a lot of glitter and embellishments are used. The girl in the picture on the right is wearing a headband in the same black and white colour way, also embellished with pears, which looks very similar to the Simone Rocha x H&M headband. In the styling of the headband, they also used the small black bows in the back of the hairstyle, which makes it look even more like Irish dancing hair with the hairstyles that stand out.

Footwear / Irish Dancing Shoes
Rocha also included footwear in her Simone Rocha x H&M collection, these shoes were black, leather looking oxford-like shoes with laces and pearls around the front. Also notable is the heel that is made to stand out because they are white and is slightly higher than a normal oxford shoe would have. Though there are definitely a lot of different kinds of shoes for Irish dancing, without a doubt these are inspired by hard Irish dancing shoes. It is most evident in the way the heel is made, not only standing out because of the white but also a bit higher than normal and rounded slightly on the sides, very similar to the version of Irish dancing shoe in the picture on the right. Interesting is how she styled it with the white socks with bows on the back in the commercial picture on the left, just like the Irish dancing shoes are pictured as well. This seems to be another nod to the tradition and traditional clothing of Irish dancing, the embellishment on the socks with bows like the girls would wear on their dresses or in their hair. This leads to think that the styling here was an obvious choice to show the link to traditional Irish fashion and tradition.

Limerick Lace and Carrickmacross Lace
In the Simone Rocha x H&M collection there are also multiple white dresses with traditional Irish lace and embroidery techniques that she is clearly inspired by; “Rocha has put both sides of her heritage into her work/ showing collections inspired by traditional Irish techniques like Carrickmacross lace and Aran knits.” (Hyland, ELLE.com, 2022) The first piece (pictured below on the left) chosen to be examined in this essay is a long white dress made of what looks to be organza. It has an underskirt the overskirt is a bit longer so the lacey details become visible. These lace details seem to be woven into the organza material, like embroidery. It looks a lot like Limerick lace, mixed with some elements from the Carrickmacross lace (pictured below) which was used to embellish plain fabrics just like Rocha does here. Simone Rocha made this look more modern by using the technique of embroidery on organza instead on muslin, which would be common for especially Carrickmacross lace, but the white thread on white fabric is still the same concept. This first piece comes closest to the Limerick lace because it is embroidery on machine made net, and because this is in collaboration with H&M, this would not have been hand made. Which is actually also a characteristic of Limerick lace, which would be called ‘mixed lace’ instead of ‘true lace’, where everything would be hand made. There are two types of Limerick lace; ‘needle run lace’, where the fabric would be stretched over a circular frame and the thread would go through with a hook, and ‘tambour lace’, where a needle is used to embroider the net fabric. The technique used on this dress would be very similar to the ‘needle run lace’, though most likely not done by hand. The dress’ embroidery also has similarities to ‘net-appliqué’ where patches of already embroidered work would be sewed on the fabric netting. Then the second piece (pictured below on the right) is also a long white dress, but the fabric seems to be more like muslin or linen. Irish linen was a big industry since the 14th century and was though to protect the body from dangers like dirt and unwashed cloth. What is interesting is that linen was also very important for the shirt making industry, and the collection does include shirts that can be seen styled with the first dress on the left. The puffy sleeves seem to be the vocal point and it has ruched lining on the sides with a flower lace pattern all over it. This seems to have elements from Carrickmacross lace but in a cutaway fashion. It also looks a lot like crochet lace, for example Clones crochet lace making. It is interesting that both dresses have a flower pattern on them, which could imply a close link to nature. It goes without saying that this stylish and versatile lace and appliqué work was a huge inspiration for her, which she mentions in one of her rare interviews. This lace making ties in not only with her feminine aspect in the collection but also with her use of traditional handcraft.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the role and influence of Irish traditional fashion and craft is very obvious in contemporary fashion today, especially seen in the example of Simone Rocha and her collaboration collection with H&M. she is clearly inspired by her own Irish heritage and by femininity mixed with traditional Irish handcraft like wool, lace and linen. Especially in the pieces like the jumper, which is similar to an Aran or Báinín jumper with obvious Aran stitches, the crème white colour and the same design with a large panel in front containing the same stitch repeated a few times. The trench coat, which is resembling a Kinsale cloak, not only with the colour black but also the special kind of gathering of fabric used and the shapeless form of the coat. Then the hair accessories like the bows, similar to the ribbons girls would wear in their hair traditionally and the black and white embellished hairband, very much resembling the embellished hairbands used in the hairstyles and wigs of girls in Irish dancing competitions. Another link to traditional Irish dancing were the oxford like laced up shoes with pearls on them, especially with the higher than normal heel on them, just like hard Irish dancing shoes. And lastly, the dresses where different types of lace making is used as an inspiration with characteristics from both Limerick lace, Carrickmacross lace and Clune crochet lace making by both the use of appliqué on netting material and linen material. The resemblance side by side is very clear, though she has put a modern spin on it in a way where it is not obvious if you would not know the meaning and inspiration behind these pieces. Which makes it very wearable for everyone but yet not just something from the rack. Her pieces are often inspired by traditional Irish methods or types of clothing and fabric that were at one point banned by the English to try and either dominate the market themselves or dampen the spirit of the Irish out of fear for an uprising. It is ironic that she is now the most celebrated designer of London fashion week, showing there since 2010, and this ties in with Rocha explaining that her collections are personal, yet sartorial. But also, her explaining the colour scheme that is a part of her brand, playing with dark and light, the white and black. And then adding in her iconic pop of red, symbolizing love as well as blood and pain. Though she has not been political in any of her interviews it may symbolize her own personal struggle as well as her country’s struggle. It is a part of her own feminine independence as well as her own Irish independence.
 Special Thanks
I would like to thank University College Cork for allowing me to study at their marvellous university and in particular folklorist dr Aoife Granville, who taught me so many new things about Irish heritage and folklore through clothing and textiles and helped me a great deal along the way. Without her this topic would not have been so researched and rounded.

"Significance of Fashion"
Fashion is very visible to everyone and everywhere we go. From wearing a simple shirt and jeans walking down the street to wearing exquisite dresses and gowns at parties is called fashion.According to Coco Chanel, " Everyday is a Fashion Show and the World is Your Runway." Fashion is a popular style or trend of something especially clothing. Fashion has multiple reasons why it is important.
The essence of fashion is not just wearing clothing but its implicit meaning as a form of self-expression through art. Fashion helps show our own identities. Just like Heart Evangelista's Parisian outfit shows elegance and drama.
Some people may say that fashion isn't important at all but fashion makes you boost your self-esteem. As it makes your appearance look pleasing which in turn will make you feel confident. Unlike not having fashion will make you look unseemly and timid in front of people.
Fashion reflects history and culture. The kind of fabric being used defines the culture of a country. And how the quality of fabric evolved.
Fashion is very important as it is a form of self-expression, it boosts your self-esteem, and fashion reflect its history and culture of a country.

The Importance of Education in Social and Economic Opportunities.
Tumblr media
Education has been the very foundation of our lives as humans. Everything starts from the education of skills that are built upon knowledge, starting from writing, reading, counting all the way to complicated knowledge such as sciences, economics and social values. It all may have started from knowledge, but where does the knowledge that we have right now come from? It comes  from experience! From thousands and millions of failures committed by our ancestors themselves! Therefore, I believe that education isn’t the most important factor in increasing social and economic opportunities, but one of the most important.
Although experience and education are equally important, we still need education as the primary source to improve our quality of life. No matter whether we are young or old, we all have the right to study more, to educate ourselves more. With more knowledge we can improve our living standards, just like a child from a village deciding to go to the city to find higher education to get a better work in the future with better salary. Working adults too can educate themselves more and attain a higher degree in hopes to get a better job, with a higher salary. This will in turn lead to economic growth if the majority of people have the same willingness to increase their living standards. Therefore, I believe that education is important as it provides opportunity for all people to improve their living standards and condition.
The future economical world belongs to the younger generation, therefore we need to educate them well. Education is a way of imparting knowledge from our ancestors, if children were not to be educated the economy of this world would not improve. This could be proved by history, in the past education was only provided to nobles and others had to learn from themselves. This not only led to great disparity between the nobles and peasants, but also caused the economy of a certain kingdom to greatly differ in speed compared to today's country.Moreover if young childrenwere not to be given education, they would forever remain short-sighted, arrogant and ignorant of the truth. This can also be proven by the past behaviours of humanity when they were arrogant as they were to stick to the custom that were passed down by their ancestors. This leads them to inherit their ancestors' short-sightedness such as preserving bloodline, arranged marriages and many other restrictions. If children were not to be taught of these social values, they would never be open minded towards things and would instead see things narrowly instead. With all being said, education does help the economy greatly and also opens the minds of young ones to have a better social value.
However, experience is also a very important factor as experience is what makes us able to have the current education we have. Knowledge is all the experience of our ancestors, it was built on countless failed attempts made by them. A good example will be Albert Einstein. He has countless attempts on making direct current, if it weren’t for his creation we would not have a light bulb to light up the night nor would we have the advanced technology that we would have right now. Moreover, Albert’s determination to create light bulbs was what actually allowed us to enjoy all this kind of luxurious technology such as phones, laptops or anything else that lights up. All this is what allows us to have this fast moving technology, that allows us to have a global economy. Therefore, experience and determination is also as equally important as education to a country’s economy. 
Other than that, too much education may also lead to stress and this especially applies to younger generations. Parents' expectations may sometimes be too much for a student to carry, this may lead them to be stressed out, just to be able to achieve their parent’s expectations. Being stressed out is not as simple as being tired, it actually causes our body to break down glycogen into glucose. If it is just once in a while it is fine, but if it is too much it will make our body prone to diabetes. This may very well impact a person’s life as a good working place will always ask for their health conditions. Furthermore, stress also greatly distorts our mental state and at best we would be mentally tired. However, if worst comes to worst children might be having thoughts of suicide due to all of the pressure that is subjected to him. If they were to proceed with suicide, it may lead the country to lose a possibility of a great leader thereby greatly affecting the economy of a country in the future. Henceforth I believe that education being the most important factor is wrong as education too may have caused stress.
To conclude, education is of course important to both the economic opportunities and social values. However, to say that it is the most important is totally wrong. Education should also be reinforced with both experience and the determination of a certain person. In order to have the best result for both social and economic opportunity.

"Get back to work!"
I had originally thought I'd focus my research on why every holiday should be on a Monday or Friday. I had looked into why some federal holidays were on Monday's and wrote a little about it a few posts ago. Thinking more about this and doing more reading, I thought it would be more intriguing (and less of a snooze fest....for me I mean!) if I addressed the ideas behind a 4 day work week. What are the positives and negatives? What industries could sustain it and what ones could not?
Has COVID made us more inclined to want to work less? As I'm researching, reading, and thinking about this generally, I can honestly say I can see both sides of why it's important to keep a 40 hour workweek, and why it's not! I imagine that as I'm writing the final draft I will have made a decision.....also it's a circumstantial issue because a month ago I was dead set on 4 day workweeks, but since then I was laid off from my primary job and now I think we should be working 40 hours a week!...projection anyone?

Why Getting Enough Sleep is Important For Our Bodies
by Annisa Nur Ratri Oktavianti
Sleep is one of the important need in our lives beside eating, drinking, and excercising. It is a crucial activites for our bodies. Physiologically, sleep is defined as a state our bodies enter into during which brain wave activity changes and our nervous system is less reactive to external stimuli. But our sleep is not constant throughout the night.
“Your brain is actually very active during sleep doing important things — it’s not just resting,” says Carl W. Bazil, MD, PhD, the Caitlin Tynan Doyle Profesor of Neurology at Columbia University Medical Center. “And if you don’t get sleep you don’t function on a number of levels the way you should”. This means that sleeping can improve our brain function better.
There is a study in 2004 involving 48 healthy adults to sleep for 6 hours or less for two weeks. What is the result? They can’t focus easily and it became worse during those two weeks. They became weak and sleep deprived, almost the same as a person who had been awake for two nights of no sleep.
After hearing that, surely we want to improve our sleeping time better right?
There are many reasons why getting enough sleep is important, but I’m just going to tell you two reasons of it.
Poor sleeping makes us moody. Matthew Walker, of University of California Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Laboratory said that “Without sleep, the brain had reverted back to more primitive patterns of activity — in that it was unable to put emotional experiences into context and produced controlled, appropriate responses,”. A study in 2007 has proven this. Twenty-six healthy participants age 18–30 years were assigned to either a sleep-deprivation group or sleep-control group. As a result, they experienced non-optimal decision-making when they are on work as well as emotional irrationality.
Not getting sleep can literally make you sick. Studies have shown that individuals are more likely to catch a cold virus when you’re sleep deprived. Participants were 153 healthy men and women, ages 21–55 for 14 consecutive days. The results, of the 153 subjects, 135 (88.24%) were infected; 54 (35.29%) developed a cold defined as infection and the objective cold criterion and 66 (43.14%) developed a cold defined as infection and the subjective (Jackson) criterion.
From these explanation earlier, we can conclude that getting enough sleep is very important for our bodies because we can avoid sleep deprive, unstable emotion, and sickness.

Is John Frusciante overrated?
I recently watched a video from Justin Hawkins talking about how he feels John Frusciante is an overrated guitarist. I liked hearing everything he had to say in the video, but as a huge Frusciante fan, I wanted to share my opinion. I don’t think John is overrated and here’s why:
As a guitarist he is not as technical as others like Satriani or Hendrix, but he has so much emotion. I have seen the Chili Peppers live twice now and when John performs solos or jams alongside Flea, I get what I would have to call a spiritual experience, as all good music should drive people to experience. He is one of those musicians that make playing sound and look so effortless; it feels as though the music flows through him. His tone is impeccable, jamming the strings or otherwise barely touching them. He always keeps an essence of funk/punk in his style, which I have to admire. He is always pushing boundaries with innovative melodies as he showed going onto make his own synth/ pop/ rock music outside of the Chili Peppers. He never shows off too much, but just enough. His playing is human having imperfections, but with his ear for harmony and melody, still manages to sound purposeful. Past his talent as just a guitarist, lyrically John has written some of the best songs to come out of the Chili Peppers career. Stadium Arcadium for instance!
I would love to hear your thoughts on Frusciante as a musician too!
